John and Déja's second slice

As John and Déja sat back in their block 4 English class desk, they enjoyed coffee cakes and wished they had milk. For John, his book is a confusing, violent, ridiculous novel that Déja surprising paid attention to while he spoke. Déja does not enjoy books at all but the mix of mystery and coffee cake set the mood. Déja cut John off because she finally finished her coffee cake and told him about her book. Déja at first did not like the book because she found it confusing and she had other homework to finish that is always on her mind. She told John that her story was like a fairy tale, about finding the meaning of identity and reinventing a new life. Déja than asked John, “What are your favorite aspects of reading this book?” John responds, “The font is really big and the pages are really small!” They laughed as they swallowed their second slice of coffee cake. Then John responds, “But seriously, it gives off an adventurous vive.” Déja then describes what her favorite aspect of reading her book was: “The entire book is a huge lie.” The book is a lie because it is based off of Princess Diana’s life if she had survived the crash. John’s reading experience and Déja’s experience are similar. They both never want to pick up the book, especially when they had the French Revolution paper due. They both agreed to pick up the book during winter break. What has surprised Déja about her book is that the author has such a wild imagination. Déja does not enjoy reading but the fact that Monica Ali makes up this story is impressive. Lack of emotion in John’s book is what surprises him. It’s a lot of murders through out the story. As John and Déja finished discussing their book, they sat back and realized they are done for the year!
