 | why this book inspired me Aug 15, 2006 |
| This book inspired me because it helped understand how to choose my friends and how to deal with teenage life. For example, how to grow up. This book showed our Habit of Mind metacognition because it shows you how to think about your life. | | | | A novel all teens will relate to May 31, 2006 |
Book three in Melody Carlson's TrueColors series stresses the cultural pressures and potency of peer influence to engage in sexual activity without a second (or initial) thought. Teens will find helpful and pertinent information and encouragement as they read about the pitfalls of succumbing to the lie that "everyone is doing it."
Carlson once again vividly portrays and highlights her protagonist's (Zoë's) emotional journey as this high school teen battles against her conscience while fending off the emotional and physical pulls to go all the way with new boyfriend Justin. Zoë is certain that she is the last virgin in her high school, and it doesn't help when a transfer student, Shawna Frye, arrives with her own sexual history that she seems intent on continuing at Zoë's school.
After Zoë's best friend, Emily, confides that she has become sexually active with her boyfriend Todd, Zoë retreats further and attempts to earnestly figure out a way to define right and wrong regarding sexual behavior. With a school play opening up, rehearsals take Zoë's time and attention, as does Justin and his ever-escalating demand for more physical contact. As is often the case, rumors and accusations fly steady and strong at Zoë's school after she discovers the new girl, Shawna, making out with Todd. Zoë tells Emily the truth, only to be verbally thrashed. More confusion for Zoë on the moral code issue springs forth. To the rescue is another student, Nate Stein, a Christian who helps Zoë sort out her social and spiritual happenings from a Godward perspective.
When push comes to shove, Zoë is forced to make the choice every teen must confront. Will she or won't she give in and join the majority (or so Zoë believes) of her classmates by becoming sexually active? Carlson's descriptions of rainbow parties, underage drinking, and especially her take on current sexual habits is right on the mark. Readers will be challenged to see further than their next "good feeling" and be more prepared to stand for personal integrity after finishing this text. Highly recommended.

My book is called Torch Red. It is about a girl named Zoe, and wants to have sex. She thinks her life is pathetic because she hasn't had sex yet. When a new girl Shawna Frye comes to her school Zoe shows her around. They are both in a play together. Shawna and Zoe's crushes are acting in the play also. Something happens between Zoe and this guy Justin, but to find out what you need to read the book.
I think Zoe and Justin are a good couple but Justin shouldn't
have done what he did. Justin should not get drunk or do things
for Zoe without telling her. Then when they broke up Justin
shouldn't have gone out with one of Zoe's friends. Justin can be sweet but he can also be a jerk. Zoe cared for Justin a lot, but she had to let him go.

| | |  | <3*!Teen Temptation!*<3 May 22, 2006 |
This book Torch Red by Melody Carlson is about Zoe being faced with regular teenage temptations! In this book, Zoe is the only virgin out of all of her friends & she hates that fact. She is pressured by her friends to lose her virginity when she starts dating Justin Clark. Despite these temptations, Zoe keeps her virginity, but all of her friends think she has lost it, because she lied to her friends!
I liked this book because I can easily relate to these problems. I have been pressured a time or two to make the wrong decisions. I was like Zoe, I did the right things but I didn't lie about it. I would rate this book 4 out of 5 stars because it was a very good chick book! This is one of the best books I have ever read. Melody Carlson is a great writer!
