Such A Relatable Book

Such A Relatable Book


Today the book I am discussing is It Gets Worse by Shane Dawson. The book is an autobiography which is mini stories of events that occurred. The genre is under Young Adult although there are some parts that are not considered appropriate. It's a very funny book which mostly describes the embarrassing moments that he went through. Each chapter is a different short story. Shane Dawson is one of my favorite youtubers, and because of his content I knew it was going to be hilarious. There were various moments were I would have to take a break because my stomach hurt from laughing too hard. The reason why this blog is called Such A Relatable Book is because I feel like I have and I still am experiencing very embarrassing moments.

My Favorite Chapter

My favorite chapter from the book is Lottery. Lottery is about Shane and his mom going to the liquor store because Shane’s mom said that god told her she was going to win the lottery. When this happened she was in church with Shane, they were there mostly for the free donuts and hot chocolate.  Later on they went to the liquor store to purchase ticket. Basically they wait for the announcement to see who the winner was of lottery was. To their disappointment they didn’t win. 
In the short film which is “The Lottery” (On Shane’s channel) it’s the same except their are more parts described. Before the winners were announced for the lottery Shane and his mom attended an open house. They had a mindset that they already won the lottery so they looked into houses that they would want to live in. After the winners were announced they were disappointed to find out that it wasn’t them because all of their dream items were far gone now. Eventually it showed Shane’s progress ten years later and how his YouTube career expanded which caused him to grow financially. He then surprised his mom with something they both had wished for, a house. It showed that hard work can pay off and dreams can come true if you put forth the effort and try your best. Due to these reasons I enjoy this chapter the most because it's inspirational to me in a way.

The Overall View Of The Book

Overall I would definitely suggest this book especially if you are into comedy because it shows the reality of life. Most books end on a happy note, although they don’t provide what happens in the end or what their happily ever-after life is like. This book is actually saying in the life there are ups and downs and there is no perfect happily ever-after life. Although sharing short stories doesn’t seem significant it is. It’s significant because your able to hear about someone else’s life experiences and how they work passed them.

A Delightful Day

On January 25th, 2017 it was going to be a very joyful day. It was 7:00 pm, I stood in the freezing weather with a big smile on my face. Next to me stood my sister Nazareth, and my cousin Desiree. We were outside Rosemont Theatre waiting for the doors to open as well as the line to shorten, my favorite band Got7 was inside the venue. Around 7:30 pm we were inside the venue making our way towards our seats. Nazareth took the first seat Desiree took the third, and I took the second. As I looked up from my seat I saw the stage and my heart stopped, it was the closest I have ever been out of all of my concerts. When the members entered the stage I could feel my palms sweating and the adrenaline in my veins. Everyone else started jumping and chanting for Got7. Then there was me, I was dumbfounded staring at each member. My thoughts were shortly interrupted as I felt a soft tap on my right shoulder, I turned to the right where Nazareth was, "Mark is speaking." she said. I turn

In 10 years from now I would like to go to John Hopkins university and get a bachelors degree, major in neuroscience and minor in biology. Since John Hopkins university is in Baltimore I want to have a house in Baltimore with my sister and cousin. Along with that idea I want to have two dogs, don't know what dogs I want but I really like malamutes and huskies. Even though I want to live with my family I want to be independent, such as making my own money paying all these different things that my parents pay, well maybe not that independent but live as an adult. All in all I want to be very successful in life. (There not mine, but they’re extremely cute)
