BLADE SILVER
Blade Silver is a book from the series "Color me Scarred" or "True Colors" by Melody Carlson. The purpose of the author in these books are to support kids, specially teens. Blade Silver is book number 7 of these series. Through these books, Melody Carlson writes tragic but common stories that most teens are probably going through. She starts normally, later on the problem is shown, but at the end it always shows a solution. This means that she's here not only to entertain some readers, but she's also informing. She's informing because she's showing that there's always a solution, but she's also showing others how some of their classmates, or friends are being affected. It works both ways, and I personally can relate to a lot of these books. So, I thank Melody Carlson for her inspiring stories!
Okay! I know after reading the author's purpose you're probably dying to hear what this one book is about. Well, I shall tell you now. Blade Silver is about a girl who's been through a lot. It all started with her mom having suicidal thoughts, and eventually trying to commit suicide. Of course, Ruth's mom is her daughters image, so Ruth follows in her footsteps. After Ruth's mom trying to commit suicide, Ruth started thinking about everything so differently. That's right, the blade seems to be the only option, and solution in this story. She cuts, a lot. She cuts so much, she doesn't even remember how many times she's picked up that blade and sat there in the bathroom just watching her blood dripping. Ruth wouldn't stop. Summer came and only after a friend spotted the scars on her arms is when Ruth started to face the problem. We all know that a lot of times when you try to solve a problem, a bigger problem is created. Will Ruth get past this phase of her life? Read more and find out!
