Just Who Will You Be? By Maria Shriver
This book starts off with a lady asking Maria Shriver's son what does she do. Her son tells the lady that she is a house wife and this leads to a journey of finding
who she actually is. She later then is asked to do a speech for her nephew's graduation ceremony, which at first she doesn't want to do, but soon later gives into it.
She is referred as many things in the book such as: A house wife, the wife of Arnold Schwarzenegger, a newswoman, first lady of California, and one of the people from
the Kennedy's family. She writes a poem which explains how only you can choose who you want to be. In the end of the book, she finds out who she really is.
I learned that you should choose and stick with who you want to be as a person. This doesn't mean choosing what you want to do, but choosing you want to be.
I remember her being confused about who she wanted to classify her as and she was depressed about it.
Why should you buy this book? This book may be short and easy to read, but it has a deep and important meaning to it. It asks you the big question "Just Who
Will You Be?" If you really think about it, you might find yourself confused. When you read this book you will discover how Maria Shriver (a newswoman, the First Lady
of California, a part of the Kennedy family, the wife of Arnold Schwarzenegger, an author and much more) finds who she actually is. As you can tell she is has many
roles in her life, but which one is actually her? Read this and see how she decides who she is and maybe it might even help you find who you are as person also.

Nice Reflection!
Dear Brandon :
I enjoyed reading your reflection "Just Who Will You Be? By Maria Shriver" because it had a nice, short summary and provided some significant information. I was able to easily tell the main ideas of the novel, and there was information you typed that quickly attracted my attention. It really sounds like you are trying to sell the book! (In a good way).
One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is: "I learned that you should choose and stick with who you want to be as a person". I think this is great because of the real-life applications of thinking in such a way. Trying to be someone your not never works, so choosing to be "your own man" seems to be a good way to live life. Also, I liked how you noted that the book had actually served as an informative tool through your words.
Another sentence that I liked was: "Read this and see how she decides who she is and maybe it might even help you find who you are as a person also." This stood out for me because it really sounds like a professional promoting a novel; it piques my interest and entices me with the basic, conclusive info on what the book is really about.
Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next, because even though your grammar wasn't perfect, the reflection was downright good. It tells the reader what's directly in the book, and provides a concise description of the main focus of the novel. Plus, the reflection stated what YOU got out of reading "Just Who Will You Be?", which is a nice reference on what to expect if I finish it.
Dear Brandon, I really
Dear Brandon,
I really enjoyed your reflection on "Just who will you be?," because... I read the same book and it was interesting to see what you thought of the book.
We both mentioned how the book was laid out and what it really meant. What really stood out to me was the fact that you recommended this book to others and actually enjoyed it. I didn't think it was that great of a book and that the message was a bit cliche. Reading about your opinion and how it was so different from mine was interesting.
Thanks for your writing, I look forward to seeing what you might write about next because I want to see how different our opinions really are.
