PROM BY LARUIE HALSE ANDERSON

           I am currently reading the book, Prom by Laruie Halse Anderson. The book is about a girl named Ashley that is dating a high school drop out. She makes really interesting decisions about her life and possibly her future. However, never liked the thought of a prom. Her friend Natalia is a big fan of them. She is even part of the prom committee. 

          But everything starts being a disaster. One of the teachers gets arrested for stealing the prom money and Natalia doesn't know how to put a prom together. So now Ashley has to decide between Natalia and the high school drop out that she is dating. Everyone said that Ashley should dump TJ, the dropout because he only uses her for money. But,she doesn't believe that. Natalia wants to still plan the prom, but since no one is by her side, what is she going to do? Is Ashley going to be there, or is she going to run off with TJ? One thing that is very important in the book is making the right choices. For example, in the end, she notices everything. At first she had a plan that she would move in with TJ , never go to collage, and never see her parents again. But TJ really didn't want her, he wanted her money. One day she realizes that she didn't want to turn out like her mother that left her parents and that moved in with a boy at a young age. She wanted to be Better. She wanted to be beside her friend, Natalia, even if its something simple like prom. Then suddenly TJ is mysteriously going places and no one knows where. No one is by Ashley's side, since she was with TJ. Then, suddenly Adrian comes along. Adrian is a normal person just like Ashley. Adrian always helps her and is always there for her no matter what. TJ tries to get back with Ashley, but she makes the right choice not to. In the end, she ends up helping Natalia with the prom, going to it, and marrying Adrian. 

        This book as taught me that one decision can change your whole life. It has taught me to never go in the wrong direction and try to live the good life, with everyone being there with you. Try not to get into a place, where anyone will try to hate or hurt you. Because peace is the actual beauty
