Oral Presentation
Yearbook follows the lives of several students from Lakeview High School. Each has their own fears and struggle with their own challenges. Gaining and renewing testimonies is a consistent theme throughout. As far as Ally Condie's LDS fiction goes, I think I liked Being Sixteen better. It was a little weird with this book how you'd have a character there and then they'd just disappear for awhile. I felt like I got a deeper connection with the protagonist when she was just following one character. But I like the way the book covers a variety of different situations, which I like. Not all of the characters are even LDS, but you can see how the church affects them in different ways. I also liked that she had the actual yearbook entries at the end, because yearbooks are relatable I think. So not my favorite, but still a good book.
