Genny in a Bottle by Kristen KempA gate icon that matches to this book is parallel. It matches like the book I have read before Flipped. They both are about boys that are in love with a girl. As states on page 11, “All of my dreams (of MacKenzie) were going to come true!” Andrew was deeply profound in love with her. Just like Bryce Luski ended up falling in love with Juli.

Genny in a Bottle by Kristen KempIn Genny in a Bottle the main characters are Genny, MacKenzie, Jane, Rebecca, and Andrew. Rebecca a really mean genie that causes lots of trouble. On page 7 she says, ”Genny, I think you stink. It would be nice if you took a bath every once in awhile”, she screamed some more. She is cruel sometimes and likes to mess around. Andrew likes MacKenzie, he thinks she is cute and a rock-star. He even mentions it to Genny on page 11, “She was such a cute girl, uh genie.” It is his wish to be with her or even get to kiss her.
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper LeeIn “To Kill a Mockingbird”, the main characters are Scout, her brother Jem, and their father Mr.Atticus. Mr.Atticus is intelligent and calm. On page 4 it states, “when my father, Atticus Finch, went to Montgomery to read law, and his younger brother went to Boston to study medicine.” He is very intelligent and was able to study law and is a static character. Scout is a dynamic character. From the beginning of the story she was very aware of everything, but towards the end she realized that the world was not a fair place. She is also intelligent but also somewhat gullible. Jem is four years older than Scout and is also a dynamic character. He liked playing football in the beginning then started separating from the games. On page 3 it states, “When it healed, and Jem’s fears of never being able to play football were assuaged, he was seldom self-conscious about his injury.”
All American Girl by Meg CabotThe main conflict of this story is that Samantha ditched her art class. At first Samantha didn’t really care, “So I shouldn’t have even felt guilty about ditching art class. Not really.”(pg. 39) She was afraid she was gonna be caught, because the president’s son is in her class. The president’s son is David, “And into the room walked David, the President’s son. Who also happened to be David from my drawing class with Susan Boone.”(pg. 58) Also, affects her because her art teacher Susan Boone was harassing her by saying she was gonna tell the rest the truth that she ditched. On the same day she ditched was the day she saved the president. So, this makes the conflict internal and external.
