Beyonce Knowles

I had just finally finished the biography book Beyonce Knowles. As I was reading, there was another cool fact that I hadn't knew about B. And that was that she was home schooled. She was also being tutored in eighth grade. When she published "Dangerously In Love", she won 5 Grammy's that night! Later on in 2008, she married her husband Jay-Z. and they're still together now and have a kid named Blue Ivy. She has also earned many nicknames like "Bey, B. Queen B, and Princess of Pop." She really dedicates herself with music. As she said "I see music, It's more than what I just hear."

Overall, I think this biography was very informational. I do encourage a lot of people who want to start a singing career to read this book because it shows a lot of encouragement and guts to start. There will eventually be hate but that didn't stop Beyonce. I also think that many fans should read this to show the struggles Beyonce had faced to become the person she is today.

As I'm reading more into my book, Beyonce (B) later on goes to a church for support on her career. While B was there, her mom began to pray about her marriage and soon B prayed for success. She prayed for a lot of things. Like a record deal and to become well known. When I read this, I didn't knew that B went to church or spent her time praying. She even said "Every time I go to church, I feel like I'm baptized." When she goes, she always has a posit outlook and hope for her career. She thanks God for giving her this amazing voice and the group Destiny's Child she was in.

What I found interesting of this book so far, was that she always wanted to be a success. She even prayed. This made me think that she was going for her goal in life. They she wasn't going to back down because she flunked her audition. She wanted her dream to come true. I think a lot of people should connect with B because she's thankful for what she has and making the most of it. More people should follow their dreams and not making a small silly mistake and give up afterwards.

So far in my book, Beyonce's parent's assigned her to singing lessons. Beyonce spent there practicing on her vocal's. Once her parent's came and picked her up and her vocal coach yelled out "She can sing! She can really sing!" She all had this dance group that she would sing and practice with. They would sign up for auditions. Beyonce's mom, Tina, owns a hair salon called "Headlines Hair Salon" where Beyonce's friends would preform to the people that were getting their hair done as some sort as entertainment. Beyonce's dad was manager for Beyonce's group. "Girls Tyme".  He would sometimes make the girls sing and run increase their endurance. He also hired a professional model to teach the girls how to walk in heels.

I think that the author wrote this book because they wanted more people to know what Beyoncé was like as a kid and how she became this well known singer with hundreds and thousands of fans. They wanted to know that Beyoncé grew up like every child did with the support of her parents. She was going to preform with her friends at an event, but they mess-up her song that they were going to dance to. She knew she was going to lose. She did. Her parents encouraged her and told her "Theres going to be more. This isn't the end."

Beyoncé Knowles A Biography

So far in my biography book, it talks about Beyoncé (aka B) when she was small and loved to sing. Around when she was 7 years old, she, her mom, and her younger sister, were playing on the key board and singing songs. Her father too her a story that whenever he puts on music, she would go crazy and dance before she could even walk. Later on, she attend the Grammys and sand her hit song "Dangerously in Love". That same night, she came home with 5 Grammys, trying to record a set for the most Grammys won by a female artist.

I find this book interesting because it shows how Beyoncé is strong enough to keep on with her career.  She wants to be noticed all around the world, write songs everyone will remember, and she get's support from her parents. I think everyone could relate to this. She's persevering on what she wants to do and what she does best. She's not backing down on anything. She want's people to succeed and keep on doing what they love.

Where she went Summary

In the end of my book, Where she went, things took off in a different direction. Adam finishes the book of by his point of view and how he sees things. Adam has been a mess without Mia. She's over there perfectly fine. So Adam decided to go his way. To not let things hold him back from his career. To sort out his problems. Even if he had to do it without Mia. Later on, he finally found a way to get over her. He realized he was much happier without her. Until they meet on later in the book. Will it be a happy ending? Or a nightmare. Read on to find out.

Theme
I think the theme in this book is to not let anything hold you back. You need to focus on you. Like Adam. he found out he was much happier without Mia. But he was still missing her little by little. He had to focus on what he was going to do in his life. And not let someone who will not feel the same about him to hold him back. He felt like his struggles were pointless. But he never gave up on what he loved. Music.
