Because I am Furniture 

          So, things have changed so much since the last time I blogged about his book, and only like 4 days passed. Honestly, I think this is the book I've been most interested in. I just can't stop reading it. I've been going to bed so late, and the next day I go to school all tired because of it. You can say I'll probably purchase this book, because I am really addicted to it, I just love it! Anyway, so last time I blogged, I said that Anke was a very shy girl, that wouldn't be able to stand up to her dad. Things totally changed! Like so fast! Remember how she was doing volleyball? Well, once she started joining volleyball she had to start calling the ball, "MINE". Who knew that from that voice she could gain so much confidence! She's a whole new person, ready to speak to her dad, however she wants. But, the ending is very sad. Something tragic happens. Not going to spoil it, but it is very sad. You have to read to find out, because it can change the whole story, and it will have you in tears. Or maybe i'm a cry baby, but I cried a lot.

 My Opinion on this book

          What do I think about this book? Well, many things went through my mind while I was reading this book. Mostly I was angry, and sad. I would get mad out of no where and just scream random things because of how mad I would get. See, this book would just give you like some context clues but not actually tell you what was going on at times, so you really needed to pay attention and be on the look out for clues! I would get mad because Anke would be about to take a decision, but the something suddenly happened that made her change her mind. Then, I would just scream like "NO WHY, STOP!" Because its just too fascinating. Also, there were moments were it would just be sad. I would definitely recommend this book to a friend. I love ready like Teen Fiction books because its just conflicts that you can really relate to. Maybe someone that's going through a struggle that's similar can be helped by books like these. I would recommend everyone to read this book! It had me on my tippy toes from beginning to end!

I am Furniture

          This book is about a girl named Anke. So far, I've read to the point where Anke is feeling upset. She doesn't go into any detail, but she explains how she's not being noticed. How she isn't noticed around the "beast" but that she prefers to stay invisible, rather than be visible but abused. She's into volleyball, and she loves doeing sports. Volleyball to her is very important, and also a distraction from the horrible things going on in her life. I believe that she is being abused by her father and that everyone else in the family is too. But, no one actually says or stands up to him. She has some flashbacks throughout the beginning of the book, explaining how things used to be different and how she missed the old times of joyful and cheerful memories. 

Character Analysis

Anke is a very quiet girl, but she's very open minded. Not only with herself, but with her best friend. Her best friend knows everything that's been going on since they've been besties for a while. When everything used to be good, she would come over all the time. Then things changed, and no one would dare to show up at Anke's house anymore. Everyone was too afraid of her father, or what attitude he would take towards them. Anke is afraid of speaking up to her dad, She's afraid to seek help, or even stand up to him. Although she would love to shout to his face to stop abusing them and to stop treating them the way he does, she's too afraid of what he would do to her. I know this because in the beook, she explains how when she was small, she could confess everything to her father and now she's too afraid to even direct the word, or say good morning to him.
