Here are a few DOs and DON'Ts regarding your book review which is due this Tuesday.
DO provide a general overview of the author’s topic and his main points.
DO communicate the author’s general thesis.
DO summarize his important conclusions.
DO choose the points that most interested you. If you think it’s interesting, I probably will, too.
DON’T try to summarize each and every point.
DON’T undermine the author’s character.
DON’T make fun of the book if you didn’t like it. Just tell why you didn't like it, why you wouldn't recommend it, or why it didn't make for a good read.
If you will follow the handout, I think it is pretty clear what I'm looking for. Let me know if you have questions!

Thank y'all!
For your help and ideas, and just for being awesome, the paper was ok, no complaints. I did, however, show the authors character in my first draft thing of my book review, so i changed that hopefully ok...i know its not great but my writing should get better as time progresses...who knows?
Oh and about the name...um im not sure, well, "Sunshine" was actually a nickname I was given by a girl i met at a camp i went to. She goes to my church and she's very nice to everyone. But she just called me that one day and now everyone who went to camp with me called me that for a while and still one of my best friends calls me that all the time. And the Dr. in front of it just sounded kinda coolip, i dunno. I guess ima just rambling but i think it shall stick...that is all :)
So I will see y'all this Tuesday, and i hope yall have a great week/weekend/whatever you to be doing...
Goodbye to all, for now.
