Going To "Period 8."

 Summary:

Okay, I'm going to be honest. This book is... AMAZING. So far. At first it was (again going to be honest) a bit disturbing, but I handled to control myself and got past it. Back to the "mini" summary. Period 8 is a class in which you're free to do pretty much anything. The only thing is, you have to be telling the truth. Paul, or Paulie, Baum is always telling the truth, no matter if it's his girlfriend , friends, or anyone. He tells his girlfriend, Hannah, that he had cheated on her with another girl. He then turns to his teacher, Mr. Logsdon, which has an open class in which students can express their feelings and their emotions. From the first day he joins the class, he spends his Period 8 with Mr. Logs. That's when he finds something out.  Paulie learns that sometimes the truth sometimes can lead to bad things. He then recalls when he broke up with Hannah.

Genre:

Many people might ask, "Why don't you talk about a genre of the book you're reading?" Well now you can tell what I am going to talk about in this mini subject. Genre. The Genre of this book is Realistic Fiction. This book has a great great feel to it and makes you think that it's real life. But It's not. That's a good thing about the book. Think about it? A school with similar rules. A student going through the struggle that Paulie is going trough. A class in which you can express you're feelings. That can happen in real life. Chris Crutcher, hand downs, makes you feel some type of way. That's why I would want to read more of his books.
