I think the author wrote this book because it relates to real life about young kids life how they can have all different promblems in there life and cant tell your friends anything because you dont want rumors about you. I really like this book because some of my friends have different promblems like this and it realtes to there life too some of my friends tell me what going on so they are not alone they have someone next to the threw everything. i like when my friends tell me that stuff so i can take them out and make them happy and smile and laugh a little bit. This book i like it because i like rading about my promblems all though thats probably really bad but they make realzie how terible people have there lives and i am so blessed with my life. I wish i could talk to the author and realized why she really wrote this book.

Sammy's dad came home drunk again and she was used to it. Sammy gets so annoyed with the fact that he pretty much comes home every night wasted.  Sammy goes downstairs to get some food at 2am and her dad comes out and says "what are you doing?" "I am getting food I am starving" Her dad is still wasted and not sober yet. Sammy goes to school the next day and sees this girl in the library and really wants to talk to her because she looks so sweet and nice and she thinks this girl can help her problems at home a few minutes later she starts to write a letter how what is happening at home and starts writing about everything that’s wrong with her. The paper that she wrote to this girl was about 2 pages long. Sammy's in 8th grade and she writes to a 10th grader and Sammy prays that she writes her back and helps her with her problems and becomes like her older sister because that’s what Sammy really wants. I predict what’s going to happen next is going to be that i hope the girl writes her back and helps her out because she’s going through a really hard time right now just by reading this book because if this girl was in my life I would take her out to places and get her mind off of it and make her feel way better. I thought this was a good quote because this is happening right now to Sammy and she is stuck in a position because she doesn’t tell anyone or any of her friends that her dad is a alcoholic. “When something awful happens, sometimes people get stuck.”

Today i started reading Lush by Natasha Friend the main characters name is Samantha but everyonecalls her Sam her dad is a acoholic and no one is there to help her because she doesnt wanna tell her friends because if she did tell her friends people would start secrets and talk about her and she doesnt want that. I picked this book because i read the back and thought it would be good for me. i like books that talk about kids promblems because i like to hear about them and i have a couple friends out there that have some promblems and relate to the real world. I really try to help my friends that have promblems all my friends say that i give the best advice and when im with friends tht have these promblems when im with them all i try to do is make them happy, laugh and not talk about the promblem i try to get them out of the house and send them really nice text messages to brighten there day up. Although i just started reading this book i know it fits the spot and i am going to even enjoy it more when i get into the book and i cant wait to read more into this book.

The Last song was about how Ronnie and how she had to go to her dads all summer and she thought her parents hated her so much. Ronnie disiked how she had to go to her dads all summer and wanted to stay at her moms because she wanted to hangout with her friends all summer. Ronnie thought it was going to be horrible and she would hate it. thrw the book she realized she met some grest people and she realized how lucky she was to spend time with her dad because he was ill and had this horrible sickness called cancer. before Ronnies dad died she started to get really close with him and played the piano with him. Ronnie and Will finally started talking and dated and was worried about after she moved back with her mom and they palnned to go the same college together. Ronnie was so happy after Will and her started talking. Will helped threw evrything with her dad and made her have a better time. Ronnie really realzied that dont blow off her dad all summer because you never know what going to happen.  “Sometimes you have to be apart from people you love, but that doesn't make you love them any less. Sometimes you love them more.” (212) this quote explains when Ronnies dad died she loved him more and it he was still with her. “In the end you should always do the right thing even if it's hard." (123) this other quote explains that Ronnie didnt want to go to her dads in the beginnging and it was hard but then she realzied it was worth it. “I finished your song, she said. Our last song. And I want to play it for you.” My last quote explains how before Ronnies dad died she made a song on the piano and it was beautiful. it was the last song they could share together.

The Last Song

In chapter 14 Ashely comes up to Ronnie and found out that she got taken to the aqurium with Will and Ashely was telling her that how he takes every girl there and Ronnie would just stare at Ashely and Ronnie got so upset that she told Ashley to just shut up and walked away. Will saw Ashely talking to Ronnie and was scared what Ashely said to Ronnie. Will came to Ronnie's house that night and Ronnie did not go out of the house to see Will. Will wanted to apolgize to Ronnie. Will waited down by the water in the backyard of Ronnies house. Ronnie did not go out there and she let Will sleep down by the water by his self. The next morning Jonah Ronnie's brother asked Ronnie "how long is he going to stay there?" "is that your boyfriend?" Ronnie stated to Jonah it wasnt her boyfriend and to just leave her alone. Ronnie finally walked down to where he was and she sat down and said what do you want. Will says what did Ashely say to you and she said what Ashel;y told her and Will said thats not true at all she is my ex Ronnie dont believe anything she says. Ronnie said no we can just be better as friend. Will wouldnt stop apolizging to Ronnie but she fianlly said its fine. They made up and Will went home and Ronnie went inside.

The Last Song

In chapter thirteen a lot of things that happened. There is a turtle nest in Ronnie's backyard and she called the aqurium people and told them that racoons were trying to get to the turtles and Will worked at the aqurium and helped Ronnie threw all of it. That night Ronnie slept outside because she was scared that the turtles were goung to get eaten so she slept outsaide next to the turtles all of sudden Ronnie hears a noise behind her and it was Will trying to come and sit next tp her. Will asked if he could sleep out there with Ronnie and Ronnie kept saying stop flirting with me juts lwave already. Ronnie gave in and let Will sleep outside with her. If that was me i would never wanna sleep outside because it wuld be scary on night and its on a beach so it would be even worse. The next morning Will woke up next to Ronnie's brother and asked Will a lot of questions. Ronnie came out from taking a shower and getting breakfast. Will asked Ronnie if she wanted to go to the aqurium with her and Ronnie was arguing with him and telling him to stop liking her and i dont wanna go on a date with you. If i was Ronnie i would love to go on a date with Will and go to the aqurium with him. They went and Ronnie kept telling him it wasnt a date. Ronnie ended up having so much fun with Will. After a couple days Ashely Will's Ex girlfriend told Ronnie that he takes everyone to the aqurium the first date so dont feel special. i wouldnt believe that because Ashely just wants him back and jealous that Ronnie and him are talking. Ronnie started screamig at Will and telling him "whats wrong with you?" "why would you do that?" were done.

Will started saying back Ronnie "I wanted to take you there dont listen to Ashely that was just between me and you" "I've never felt this way before Ronnie please trust me on this one" Ronnie still didnt believe him after a couple days Will went to her house and apoligize for everything. Ronnie fianlly went out there and she apolizged and Ronnie said "ive never felt this way before either Will i just got scared. "We had so much fun at the aqurium and i know you dont like Ashley. i dont understand why Ronnie got so mad in the first place? Will took his own time to go over Ronnies house and sit the backyard until she would come out.  

The Last Song

In chapter 10, 11 & 9 Ronnie has become her self by meeting Blaze and becoming more friendly to everyone. Ronnie has talked to Will a couple times by going into resturants or stores and seeing Will. Will, will always come up to her to say hi Ronnie would get imbrassed because of what happend at the beach. Ronnie is starting to hangout with Blaze and her boyfriend more. They went to a bonfire with her and Blaze and her boyfriends says to Ronnie "get me a drink" Ronnie says "get it yourself" so Blaze decided to get up and get it for him. Blaze left to go get something to drink for her boyfriend right when Blaze left the boyfriend was all over Ronnie and trying to get with her. Ronnie kept saying "whats wrong with you, you have a girlfriend". "Get off me". Blaze was walking back and thought Ronnie got with her boyfriend and Blaze came up to her saying "whats wrong with you?" "I cant believe you would do this to me?" Blaze took her boyfriend off of her took his hand and ran away with him and left Ronnie there. Blaze should of believed Ronnie and not leaving her there no one should ever do that. After that Blaze and Ronnie didnt talk again because Blaze didnt like her at all. I am curios if Ronnie will ever talk to her again?

The Last Song

 In chapter 5 After Will ran into Ronnie at the beach of the volleyball tournament he couldn't stop thinking about her. He wanted to redo that whole night and start it over again. Scott and Will were talking and he told will that he accidentaly set the chruch on fire. it was Scott. Will says "i have to tell Ronnie's dad, what are you doing with this"? Scott says "No that serect says between us". "Dont tell anyone". Some people make mistakes in life but i wouldnt tell anyone that huge secret thats huge to tell someone that. In chapter 6, Ronnie gets taken home by the cops because she is out passed her curfew. she gets home that night and her dad is screaming at her. Ronnie went to bed all mad and upset. She wakes up the next morning very early 8:00 am on a on a summer day she was confused why she was up so early. she tried and tried to go back to sleep but her dad was playing the piano to loud. So Sleep was out of the question. Ronnie went to the kitchen and heard her dad playing the piano and didnt talk to him. Ronnie says "Stop treating me like a 5 year old, im 17. Ronnie says "Dont yell at the for what i do and what time i am home at night" Ronnie doesnt understand that you have to get yelled at sometimes to be in the right lead. Ronnie's dad was trying to kiss up to Ronnie by making her bacon but Jonah says "She's a vegertarian, Dad". "Really?" the Dad says. Jonah answered "For three years. But she's weird sometimes sop it makes sense. Why would she be weird sometimes when you're a vegertarian you always have to be one. Right? After she was mad that her dad didnt know she was a vegertarian she yelled "I've already gone three years without talking to you, and it was the easiest thing I've ever done". That was to hard on Ronnie's dad to say that. If she said that to me i would be hurt for a couple days. I think everyone would be mad and hurt if someone said that to them. In the real world now a days kids are always late when they are out to late or with there friends. this relates to me because i was late one time because i was out with my friends and i got yelled by my mom. After that Ronnie showered put on some clothes and ran down to the beach. Ronnie wished her best friend Kayla was with her so she could lay out on the beach with her not alone. So Ronnie decided to maybe go find a job. I mean i would want a job if i was alone and didnt have any money. Ronnie never found a job and just went back home and layed down and aplogize to her dad. These 2 chapters dont really remind of a book they just remind me of the real world and whats going on in the world now a days.

The Last Song

In chapter 1 and 2 this book relates to the real world because a lot of parents are divroce and a lot of kids are this way. This book relates to me because I love Miley Cyrus and how she acts in this book and to take life blessed. This book reminds me of any Nicholas Sparks books, The vow, The lucky one, it reminds me of it because there the same stories and how parents are divorced and people are unhappy. Ronnie and Jonah's parents got a divorce when they were very little. Ronnie and Jonah got to visit there dad there dads it is a few hours away from there mom's. Jonah was very exicted to see his dad but Ronnie wasnt to exicted she wanted to stay at her moms and hangout with her friends all sunmmer. Ronnie got to her dads and ran right in the house Jonah on the other hand was so exicted to see his dad and hungout with him the hole time. Ronnie left the house and went down the beach the city they had a fair going on so she walked around and got a starwberry milkshake she was walking and this one guy Will ran into Ronnie while Will was playing volleyball and Will felt so dumb running into her because her milkshake got all over Ronnies clothes and even ruined Ronnies night more. Ronnie went to go buy another shirt at a booth in the fair and met a girl name Blaze and Blaze told Ronnie to steal the shirt and Ronnie said "No i would never do that". So Ronnie was a better person and bought the shirt. I think that Ronnie should relaize how blessed she is to be with her dad and brother all summer. I dont undersrtand why shes not? I really hope later in the book Ronnie is finally happy with her dad.
