The book that I am reading right now is called The Vampire Diaries. It’s obviously about vampires so it’s a little harder to relate to anything in the book because it is mostly about the vampire lives and killing. The main character is Elena who has a thing with Stefan who is a vampire and I can’t really relate to her because she is experiencing a lot of death and scary situations which I usually don’t encounter on a daily basis. What I can relate to in this book is the setting. A lot of the people in my book go to a high school which I can relate to because I am in high school. A specific part that I can relate to is after a killing that happened just recently to the students of the schools Halloween party, one of the teachers was killed. The teacher was Elena’s social studies teacher. When they got back to school they had a new teacher. A lot of the students were still really sad about what had happened to the other teacher that the new teacher decided to have a talk with all of the students so that they could share the stories and how they felt about the whole situation. Everyone ended up sharing their stories and it was pretty dramatic. When I was reading this part in the book it reminded me of my social studies Westwood 1 class. After the take your kid to work day my teacher said that we could all share our experiences. I don’t know why it reminded my of this but I think it was that we all sat in a circle and in the book they kind of all sat in a circle facing each other, so that was probably why.
