my review (5SENTENCES)

I just finished the book Lockdown by Diane Tullson. Josh is the main character whom is pushed to extreme extensions and soon takes it way to far. The lockdown bell started going off, people raneverwhere trying to get away but he didnt shhot anyone, he was shooting at objects to let people know that he had been pushed way to far. This book takes place in the largely crowded hallways where people often tease others about looks, attitudes, or personalities. I love this book it was very sad but i think it states the truth about how kids are often teased for things that are often not there fault and things they often cannot help. I think other teenagers would love to read this book, it is touching and inspirational, its a way to teach people how others react to bullying. this book was recomended to me and i am very glad i read it. She said her mouth dropped, as the book ended.

1st book review. (The billing girls)

“ I just want to be one of them.” Reed said as she watched the billing girls walk by. Reed was excepted into a rich college called Easton Academy by a schlorship, all she wanted was to get away from her mom who was a druggy. The book Private is one of many books by Kate Brian. Its one of the most interesting and fascinating books. I have never read a book, that I could not put down besides this book. I can’t wait to start reading the next book in the series.
It is often hard to fit in after switching schools or moving somewhere different. Reed has went to a popular school, she is stunned by the school and the girls fascinating beauty that she does not have. She just wants to fit in with everyone else. A specific detail I love in this book is when Reed walks by a nice room and sees a group of very beautiful and fascinating girls, she finds out from others that it is almost impossible to become one of them.
Reed works hard just to get to talk to them but its funny how she does it because she trys not to make to obvious. They see her at lunch one afternoon and start sitting with her, they are getting to know each other, the Billing girls are trying to figure out if they really want Reed to become a girl of there group, but the plan they come up with is not what Reed wanted.
There are no words to describe how I feel about these books by Kate Brian. They are very detailed and there are a lot of details that go one. At the end of the book it cuts off and leaves you hanging, after I put this book down I rushed to get the next book. I plan on reading these books and I highly recommend them to anyone!

November 22 blog post (test grade)

BARACK OBAMA
Since obamas election there has been many issues.. However many people do not like the affect of him being our next president due to the fact that he is an african american, i do not see any problem with his color because thats not what is important to me. When we had a white president, the black people did not make a big deal out of it and they did not say harsh things about the white president.
Now that our president is black high schoolers are making comments about him on the web, spraying racial graffiti on buildings, tunnels, and everything they can just to say something harsh and un-called for.
Most election-related threats have so far been little more than juvenile pranks. But the political marginalization of certain Southern whites, economic distress in rural areas, and a White House occupant who symbolizes a multiethnic United States could combine to produce a backlash against what some have heralded as the dawn of a postracial America. In some parts of the South, there's even talk of secession.
My opinion is very simple.. if we could judge a book by its cover and know what would happen with each president then we would not be going through hell in the world right now. White presidents have put us this far, so lets see what the black guy can do for us. The young people can not really say something and make an effect in the world til they are old enough to do so, so i think they should all just be patient and see what happens! (my opinion)

SALEM

this reading passage was either the crasiest or freakiest thing i have ever read before. But i think it was both! some parts were funny like the part where the girl takes off running as if shes a bird and makes a crazy squaking sound that no one had read before. A crazy pert is where she watches the girl grab the chain and wrap it around another girls neck, as the girl said i could kill you tonight if i wanted to! That part was really freaky and kind of scared me because i was not expecting it to go to such great detail in that short amount of time. it taught me that people who believe in whitch craft really are freaks but you shouldn't judge them unless you want something horrible done to you. lol The whole thing of this reading was to persuade other to i guess not make fun of people who are different from you. but also there is things out there that many people sometimes don't believe but others may believe in it. never judge what people do, say, or act.

Being in a group with others who i can talk with and get answers for parts i don't understand has really helped me develope with wanting to read.
I love that i now know how to show a specific event instead of just telling about it, however, i need to focus more on main events and details of a event or story.
I still have trouble talking in a group because of issues i've had in the past, but this year is really helping me with my problem.
I expect to learn MORE new things next semester.

our lit circle

I think our literature circle went very good. We talked about specific events in the book including the part about the jail and going out on survival. I don't really like this book though because it goes back and forth like flashbacks. I think we did good in our literature circle but i have not got far in this book because i don't like it.
