Author’s Note: I wrote this essay about the book I read, I,Q. by Roland Smith because I wanted to portray it’s a book that connects to me, other books, and the world. In this essay, I worked on word choice, idea development, and conclusion. Please give me feedback on how I can improve in these areas.
Life is like a tornado; you never know what is going to happen. Q (Quest) and Angela, characters in the book I,Q. both face unknown dangers. Their whole life suddenly is all discombobulated! Everyone faces different kinds of danger in everyday life, though. The book I, Q. by Roland Smith connects to my life, other books, and the world in many different ways.
Q is like me because whenever he is nervous he does things with his hands. His hands always seem to be doing something whether it's shuffling cards or typing on the computer. I have nervous hands sometimes, too such as when I am just sitting there I tend to need to do something with my fingers. Also, in my life I have to live with my brother. He is a lot like the character X-Ray. X-Ray is the kind of person who loves to invent things that enhance the meaning of everyday life. My little brother, Connor, loves to invent things. Connor would make a great inventor some day if there was a way to make a living nowadays while inventing things. X (X-Ray) also seems to like science. That's where he gets his ability to invent from. Connor's favorite subject is science; he loves experimenting things.
The book I,Q. does not only connect to my life, but also connects to other books. Many other books have something to do with spies. These books seem to draw the readers' attention by carefully adding clues and/or information. This makes the reader think more about what they are reading.In particular, the book Into the Gauntlet by Margaret Peterson Haddix is all about finding clues to lead two kids to the final treasure.
Even though I,Q. connects to other books, it also connects to the world. Sadly, there is still terrorism happening all over the world. I wish that somehow people would realize what they are doing is wrong; most terrorists don’t believe they are doing anything wrong. But, that isn’t true. It hurts people physically, mentally, and emotionally. I,Q. is also partly has to do with Q and Angela’s parents being famous. They tour the world. All sorts of people who are singers and/or performers travel the world to share their talents. Sometimes, those kinds of people can get a little carried away. Luckily in this book, those people don’t get carried away by the thought of thousands of fans calling their name.
My life, other books, and the world connect to the book I,Q. in many different ways. You should read a book. If you can connect to the book, it helps you understand it more. Reading can help you write and vice-versa. The author will show many ways how the book connects to real life, so hopefully readers can connect to themselves. If you can connect to any book, it helps you understand it significantly more.
