the graveyard book


The graveyard book by Neil Gaiham. I liked the book. It was unique. I mean there were tons of stuff in it like monsters, ghosts, ghouls, and murders. the story goes there was this family that was murdered except for the baby boy who wonders in a graveyard. the ghost of his parents arrive and the ask the ghosts to care for him and so they do. He grows up in the graveyard and learns the ways of the ghost there, like how to fade and cause fear. He also learns about other creatures like the hounds of god. The book is good if you like ghost and monsters. also the book is 320 pages long.

shiver book review


I extremely liked the book shiver. It was different then other books I have read. Shiver is by Maggie Stiefvater. It is a awesome book about a girl named Grace and a boy named Sam.Grace was attacked by wolves when she was younger but they weren't ordinary wolves. and same stopped the wolves and saved her and he has loved her ever since but all she remembers is the wolf that stopped it. Then when they get older Sam gets shot and changes back to a human. Then they have to find a way for him to stay human or he will be a wolf forever.The book switches back and forth from Sam to Grace. And you get both perspectives. the books about 400 pages goes by quick. If you like twilght you'll love this book.

gay marriage


I think we should talk about gay marriage in class because I have my opinions on it and I would like to hear other people's. I wouldn't try to change theirs but I would defend mine. Also it seems to be a big subject and I think if the country is talking about it so should we. I mean we should know what is going on in the country shouldn't we?

Ann Turner poem


"I am the pig" by Ann Turner

I am the pig
And you are the wolf
waiting at the door
to gobble me up
and chew on my bones,
then spit me out
and nobody is big enough
or fast enough
or sees enough
to keep it from
happening.

This poem relates to the book Speak because in the book Melinda Sordino was raped and nobody knew it happened and now the guy tortures her at school and nobody knows why see is the way she is.

Opion on blogg


My reflection on my blog is that I am indeffernt.To me it makes no difference having one or not. I think it's cool that people all over the world get to read my writing, but honestly I don't know if they are or not. And since i don't get comments I don't know what they think. So I am indiffernt about my blog. A goal I have for my goal next quarter is to get a cluster map. And that is my reflection about my blog.

The Alchemyst review


The Alchemyst
by Micheal Scott

The plot of the book is that Nicholas Flamel is the gaurdian of the Codex. He is trying to keep it out of the hands of the Dark Elders because in the Codex is the secret that can destroy mankind.

The book has been stolen but the most two important pages remain. Now Nicholas must train the twins in magic to save the world.

I love how the characters in the book have there base in history and mythology. It is a 400 page book.

In the book it will go from talking about what is happening from one character to another.
