I just finished reading the book THE SECRET IDENTITY OF DEVON DELANEY By Lauren Barnholdt. I picket this book because one of my friends recommended this book to me and it seemed nice. The significance of the book is to never lie, you always have to be truthful to your friends and family. The two strategies i used before reading was i asked myself what do i already know from the book, well i knew from the cover and the synopsis that its about being truthful because i read that a girl name Devon lied to her whole school, the second strategy i used was i predicted whats gonna happen in the end, well most books end with good endings so i thought everyone forgives her. The two reading strategies i used during reading was i went back to some pages to see how many lies she made and made up, the second strategy was i looked at the cover and i thought to myself that it didn't really made sense to the story because it shows her rejection what she wears so at first i thought its like about a popular girl who being mean to everyone. The two reading strategies i used after reading was i asked myself what did i understand from the book, well i understood that its about not lieing and to always stay truthful, the second strategy i used was i looked through the book for some text features and new vocabulary.
The genre of this book is realistic fiction. The characters of this book is Jared-her "boyfriend", Lexi- her best friend, Devon- the main girl. Devon's mom , Devon's dad, Lexi and Jared's friends. The setting is Devon's house, the school, and Jared's house. The exposition is Devon, Lexi, Jared, the mom and dad, and Jared's Friends also the place is the school, Devon's and Jared's house. The rising action is when Devon lies to Lexi in the summer because she met her while she was at her grandmas and Devon told her that she is so popular at her hometown and she is the popularist kid at school, and then Lexi surprised Devon by coming to her new school and then Devon was like to herself OH NOOO!!! SHES GONNA FIND OUT THE TRUTH. The climax is that Lexi started getting weird about stuff like she didn't understand why is Devon acting like this weird. The falling action is when Lexi and the rest found out about everything , every single lie, so she got so mad. The resolution is when she forgives her and also everyone else and they promised each other never to lie again. The conflict of this book is when Devon lies about so much stuff to her best friend Lexi-character vs. society.
The tone of this book is scared , happy, and sad. The mood is happy, disappointed, and scared. The theme of this book is not to lie, and to be truthful to everyone around you. The moral of this book to never lie and to be truthful. The point of view is 1st person and 3rd person. The pattern of organization is compare and contrast.The authors perspective is the authors, and Devon's. The authors purpose is to entertain.
I think this book was okay, some of the chapters were really boring but i kind of like it because it was a little entertaining.I rate this book 6/10 because it was kind of boring and i didn't like it much. i wouldn't recommend this to any of my friends because i know they will think it's boring.I don't have any similarities with the characters because they are really different from me.
Sincerely,
Noy Nahumi
