entry 1

The book that I am reading is Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging. This book is about a girl named Georiga who writes her life in a diary and then you find out everything about her and what her life is like through her diary. The main characters that we have meet so far are Georgia, Georiga’s parents, and her friend Jas. Georgia is a 14-year-old girl in high school who writes everything that goes on in her life in her diary. They are the usual problems for a girl this age. She is a little insecure, but has an outgoing personality. Her parents show up a lot in the book for stories, things that happened between them, or advice and stuff like that. Jas, is her best find they do everything together. The setting for the book is in Britain. They go to school there, which is where a lot of the book takes place and her house. Just around town where they would hang out. The conflicts that occur in the book are both within Georgia herself, but also with other people she’s around. Some of the conflicts she has in the book is fitting in, problems with her friends, boy troubles, problems with her body. The conflicts she has in the book are mostly what any girl that age would have. I predict that since there has just been a bunch of little conflicts and problems a big problem will come up like with a boy or something like that. A movie that this book kind of reminds me of is, Mean Girls, because they are in high school facing a lot of issues with friends, boys, and fitting in. The author uses a lot of writing craft when writing because the whole book is written in diary form with the date and everything. She uses a lot if things like bullet points or numbering when writing and it really adds to the whole concept. I really enjoy this book so far and I hope it keeps moving in the same direction. This is a link that shows a trailer of the movie. I hope it is like the movie because it looks like something I would go see!!
