Week 4

I have post a recommendation to M'Lissa's Goodread page. I hope she will be able to read the titles, if she hasn't already.


"Hey M'Lissa! If you like the Hunger Games you will like Lauren Oliver’s Delirium and Veronica Roth’s Divergent. These titles are both dystopian like the Hunger Games. But more than this, I think these titles are a great representation of teenage rebellion against conformity. The heroes have to overcome their personal insecurities and uncertainties in order to break away from society’s “norms.”   You may also like Cory Doctorow's Little Brother. Set in modern day San Francisco, the main character ignites a cyber-war to combat the oppressive regime of the United States government.

Goodreads recommends books according to the titles that I have read in particular genres. For example, some recommendations according to the classics that I have read are The Real Mother Goose by Blanche Fisher Wright, Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters by John Steptoe, Stone Soup, and Borderlands by Gloria E. Anzaldua. These titles are a great representation of the multicultural (children and adult) literature that interest me.
