One book blog post that I enjoyed was Leila's blog post on the book "Stolen" by Lucy Christopher. I have read this book, and Leila has ideas and thoughts about it that I had never considered. The book is about a girl, Gemma, who is kidnapped and brought into the middle of the desert and falls in love with her kidnapper.
I loved all of the reoccuring themes that Leila found in the book. One symbol that she found was the windows. I had never realized that it symbolized her freedom/her freedom being taken away. She used good examples from the book which showed her noticings. Another symbol she noticed in the book is the boulders. It shows how she wants to be free but cannot. It also shows how close she is to something, but it's still impossible for her to get it. Leila also says how Ty stands by the boulders a lot to taunt Gemma and show that he has the power and that he can easily take her freedom from her. These symbols make Ty seem like a bad guy, but throughout the rest of the book, he seems like a hero.
In conclusion, I thought Leila had a thoughtful response with interesting noticings and ideas.
