WICKED AMBITION

What it's like being a first generation kid in America

I would have to take Sherlock Holmes to prom. Yes, he can be annoying at times and shows off how clever he is but I think he would be so entertaining. Just sitting at a table with him and listening to him making fun of everyone there, I would quite enjoy that.

Although it seems like they hate each other, Lady Gaga has obviously been influenced by Madonna. I was looking up videos on Youtube, and there are so many mashups of their songs and sometimes I can't even differentiate between the two

As a reader, I really had to immerse myself in the book before I started to like it. I would skim over the dialogue because I was having a hard time reading it, but once I realized the whole book was like that, I went back and reread and it turned out I kinda love it. The use of the different narrators and dialect, really set this book apart from anything I have ever read. Not only does the actual writing style fascinate me, I also am curious about the plot. Janie reminds me of a lot of women in my life and to see her go through this journey of trying to find her voice (which in my opinion, she isn't going to get if she allows all these men in her life) is Zora Nealle Hurston's way of making fiction something real...at least to me
