hate list

The Hate List is by Jennifer Brown. When I’m searching for a good book I usually always look at the title of the book and whatever sounded interesting or good I would pick up and read the back of the book to see what it was about. In reading when we were going through the list of books this book was one of the ones I chose. I chose it because the name looked interesting. The cover says a lot about the book as well as the title of it. The front cover is a picture of a face and in there is a tear drop by the eye. In that tear drop is the title name Hate List. There are bangs in the face of the picture on front and it looks like it could be a girl. That could mean many things. I’m picturing it as a girl and that girl being the main character Valerie Leftman. I think the Hate List for the name of the book is significant because it goes along with what the book is about. The Hate List is a “list” of the people that Valerie and her boyfriend Nick didn’t like. They just imagined hurting them. Well Valerie did. The Hate List being in the tear of the book is significant because it was sad. It was sad and crazy that Nick started what he did. It represents people crying, because of all the blood that was everywhere and all the people that had been killed. It represents her pain that she is going through because of her leg and her boyfriend that she loved was dead. The fantasy became a reality and she was scared, shocked, and sad.
