The First 50 Pages

“She’s just screaming words, I think. They’re just words. But she’s screaming, screaming at the top of her lungs, with an agony that seems almost an exaggeration, and it’s causing devastation I never knew possible. It’s like she just—imploded.”

 Since the first book I'll be reading for this class will be the 5th book in the series Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi. So far, the book started off with a favourite character of almost all of the audience because he just has that personality and way of thinking that pleases everyone. Therefore, it definitely caught all of our attention. The story for the first 50 pages is dealing with a problem, which is a plot twist by the way, and the main characters' point of view didn't show up yet. Once again, makes me happy because the book is giving minor characters the chance to share the spotlight. I hope Tahereh wrote a good amount of twists, turns, actions, and romance that would keep me interested until the finishing book of the series. I need a worthy cliffhanger!!

My best friends and I were planning to have big fun for the last three days that we had left before the lockdown, but it was cancelled. That fun getting ruined kind of hit us pretty hard because we treated the news as if we were never seeing each other ever again, and basically that’s what happened. As you and probably many know, I started wearing a masks on a daily basis about 2 weeks or more before the lockdown. At the start, the reason for that was “the air”, my parents said. I always had the case of having bad lungs or weak immune system, but not too bad where I needed to have an inhaler with me everywhere. I’ve always been wearing masks when I would live and visit Asia because it is very polluted there. They probably noticed that it’s been smelling like something is being cooked those days...
