It was an emotional book that made me sad and angry and some parts, and when they got free I wanted to cry tears of joy because I felt like I went on that journey with them. Overall, I think that Hope: A Memoir of Survival in Cleveland was a compelling story that told the hardships of three teenage girls who made the wrong decision of getting into a strangers car. She used a colon and an interrupter comma which shows that she is putting them in her writing not just because it looks good, but because it “hits home” the emotion Amanda is feeling at this particular part in the book. This passage encapsulates the author’s writing style best because it shows her use of grammar to make her writing more effective and meaningful when reading it. This is how I’m going to think about time: Every day that passes means I’m a day closer to this being over, a day closer to being home.
I turn to my photo of Mom, kiss it, and tell her goodnight. Please keep them safe a bring me home soon,” I say over and over. I took away from this reading experience a lot of subtle pieces of advice that the girls learned from this awful experience. I was the author would have added more detail or cut out those parts to keep the story moving along better. Even though the end was very intriguing, some parts in the book were kind of slow and dragged on a bit. I couldn’t stop reading at the end because I wanted to know how they escaped. The ending affected me as a reader because it was very interesting and exciting when I finally found out that all of the girls made it out of Ariel Castro’s horrible house alive. My overall interpretation of Hope: A Memoir of Survival in Cleveland was that it ended up being a very good but hard (emotionally) book to read. It gives you different perspectives of what really went down and the thoughts and feelings of the girls inside. It tells what happened from the very beginning with how they got kidnapped, and how they conquered to live their life with the horrible man who took them (Ariel Castro). This is a true story with pieces of advice embedded in it that has a strong meaning behind it. Hope: A Memoir of Survival in Cleveland, by Amanda Berry and Gina Dejesus, is a very moving and emotional story that takes you along their journey of being kidnapped by the same man and never leaving the same house for 16 years. Can you picture being trapped in a house for over 15 years? Well unfortunately, that was what is was like for Amanda Berry, Gina Dejesus, and Michelle Knight.
