The Start of a Work in Progress

       A Work in Progress is a memoir written famous 24 year old Youtuber named Connor Franta. The book has small stories about his life and his experiences is written with his humor in a funny and interesting way so when you read it you feel a real connection with the author. When you read it you can really understand Connor's personality really happy and funny guy. I do recommend that before you read the book you watch some of his videos since some of the things he talked about may seem out of place or weird if you dont have the general context. Connor begins the book by telling us about some of his memories as a child and how he is now writing a book and then he continues to talk about how weird it is to explain people that Youtube is a job. Then he talks about his hobbies like swimming and acting as a child.

When he announced his book

   "its one take, unedited, imperfect and littered with mistakes that we must repeat till we get it right" (Franta, 9)

I like this quote because he is reflecting on how Youtube videos are not real life and how life isn't perfect with jump cuts and edits and it has mistakes and there will be all the way till we die and we have to repeat them over and over till we get them right and i think that is very true and i believe exactly the same and i like to see people like his reflect on life because each time it brings a new perspective and you see life and the world differently.

"We were born to make history, thats how I like to see it" (Franta, 23)

I like this quote because it gives a meaning to life and i think that is something we need to keep in mind every single day of our lives but most of us just take life for granted but Connor is telling us that we are born for something we are put on earth with a purpose not just because .

So far im loving the book because is funny and it does look like something he would do and not something made just for money it looks like a very genuine work and something very real. Something i like about him is that although he is famous fame hasn't reach his head like other Youtubers that i used to love and respect but now that they have reach fame they have completely change but not him he is different and down to earth.
