  35. One of the last books i read was "Street Love". It talked about the real things that happens to people in there life its like a short 70s version of Romeo and Juillet to me at least.

  36. Last night, on my way home from swim practice, the radio station I was listening to was ranting on how the government was raising taxes by labeling the middle class as "rich". That means, technically, they aren't raising taxes. Then he ranted on about how he doesn't like the idea to have government-controlled healthcare.

    That was an interesting "article" I've seen lately. I can't recall the last article in the newspaper I've read. I hope this will do.

  40. The last thing I read was Death of a salesman in my advanced composition class. That particular play was pretty interesting because I always wanted to read more just from the foreshadowing and imagery.

  41. -The book i recently have read was called 'Tweak'. This book was about a kid that was addicted to drugs and dropped outta school and changed his life around. it was interesting because of the fact that her changed his life around.

  42. The most recent book I've read was Seduced by Moonlight [3rd book in the Merry Gentry Series], which is by Laurell K. Hamilton who is New York Times Best Selling Author. Its kinda a series based with the Ptincess of the Unseelie Court and her race to get pregnant before her cousin. This book is a bit on the gory side but then it has great graphics nonetheless.
    I also read a short story by Emily K. Called A Wish For Her. It's an amazing short story about everyone talking about one girl who has all these guys & looks like [excuse my language] a whore to the rest of the school, and no one likes her, but one of the girls sees the girl while shes at home, a makes a wish that someone out there will truly love her. Its pretty sad story but its touching and relatable to teens nowadays.

  55. Rikki Downer =)
    Well the most recent thing I can think of that I read is a bok called 'The Book of Lost Things.' This book is about a boy that lives in an attick and goes into the woods because he thought he say a figure. The he finds a hole in a tree that he walks through and discovers a different area. To try annd get home he has to find the castle to find the king so he can get him home and through his way he finds all kinds of creatures and most of the fairy tales are in this story but there turned around to be much more freaky and creapy then how they really are. This has to be my favorite book ever!

  58. i read about our football coach, Boyd, apparently was messin around with some girls and got into trouble. After all those lectures he gave and tellin us to leave the girls alone. Even though we never listned to him, its suprising to see him do something like this, it was funny wen i first heard it, but now its pretty sad...

  59. I just checked out The Catcher in the Rye...again. So I'm going to reread that. I was also just finishing Twilight...again. So I guess I like reading the same books a few times, just to make sure I got it the first time.
