Whew end of the year. SO The Last Song is a GREAT book! it is really sad though. I will admit I was crying, yes I had tears streaming down my face it was so sad. I recommend this book to anyone and everyone though. The book keeps you on your toes and has a little bit of foreshadowing that keeps you interested. It has love, fire, hate, and death. All which are great for a good romance novel.
The main character is a rebel child who though she dresses dark and rebellious she doesn't drink or do anything to rebellious. I think she just likes worrying her parents and feels like she needs attention. She used to be a child protegee at the piano but after her dad "leaves" them, she becomes a rebel child. Her dad really left only because he came home early from his piano tour to surprise her mom and he found out she had been cheating on him. She then marries the guy after they split.
Ronnie, the main character, and her brother have to go to her dad's because their mom makes them for the summer. What Ronnie doesn't know is that her dad has cancer and won't live to see Christmas. They fight all summer. By the end of summer Ronnie has changed her ways found out the truth and stays with her dad through the school year caring for him til he dies. There is a lot more emotional parts and details but this is the short version. O and she falls in love with a really rich, smart, and hot guy. The end. Love Love Lo ve
......I really grabs your emotions so be ready for the ride! There is a lot of information to gather. I hope everyone reads it! I think I may watch the movie now... But I don't think I'll like it because of the main character....

Finished!
Well finally done... The project went so much better than I planned. The forest was real :) and the sound effects were great and funny.. :) The booths were really cool (don't worry Sean the spill just helped with the booth, I mean he is drunk a lot so..) I think the project was fun and I am glad we did it. The kids got a few kicks and giggles I think. I wish we could have had more light and the doors weren't locked. I think my attic would have been better. I also think I should have put I microphone on Mollie. There were too many kids and too much noise for sure! Overall I give our project an A definitely. I give Katelyn's dad an A++++ for his awesome help with the dividers and tree branches!!

Visual Literacy Project
So... I'll admit I was very pessimistic about how this was going to turn out. I have been proven wrong. :) I am very okay with that too. The weight deck is starting to look amazing! I know I have a little touching up to do and finish, but it all looks great. The cabins are really cool. Katelyn borrowed these dividers from her church and they are so neat it adds a lot to the cabins. I think the cabins actually look like cabins because the wood on the dividers. The forest! Now that is cool. There was a little difficulty with the net going up there and it being in the way. We ended up using it to our advantage and it was very useful. I helped minimize the space and helped make things look thicker. I am really proud of my group's hard work.

AP LIT FINAL PROJECT!
So.. I am sorry this is late our internet is horrible!
This week we started out final project for AP Literature. The group I am in is the girls from our class. This includes Sean, Katie, Mollie, Katelyn, and myself. We are decorating the old weight deck. I am really nervous about this I believe our aim is too high for such a short time with such limited supplies. I have my part all ready it just needs to be put together. The thing is is that my part is the attic which is a bunch of supplies I have. The area is just so huge and we need sooooooo much paper and cardboard its overwhelming. I also dislike how the team functions as a whole. One person shouldn't take over its a team effort we should all be allowed to put in our two cents ...

Truth shall set you free!
The Rev. Heather Janules is very interesting. I am not catholic, but like the reverand I love looking at the statues in churches. I think the reverand is right. How can humans know what God wants us to do to repent for our sins? This has been a thought that has stuck with me.
I agree with the reverand we must share secrets, or they will eat us alive. Secrets are burdens and can weigh you down; stress you out. Everyone needs some way to get out secrets. I think postcards are a perfect idea.
The pictures of her visit are really cool. The old mailbox is really neat. I am not so sure how he made his mailbox "Super Size" though. He seems to have many secrets. I wonder what it feels like to know people are trusting him with that many secrets.
I think Frank Warren has created a great way to help people recieve individual therapy without worry that their secrets will be known. Someone may know the secrets but they don't know who wrote the secret. The fact that most are religous is quite interesting. I wonder why people chose that topic most.
I like the fact that this reverand does not try to hide facts but to get people to tell the whole truth. I myself no I am not always honest about all that I feel, but we should always be able to find a way to be ourselves. This includes to be accepted by others the exact way we are. We should not have to hide, or try to hide something we dislike. It will still follow us.

Post Secret

I chose this post card because it stood out as something I think about. Everyday is so similair and we do the same things eight periods a day. I wonder what it would be like to find something different. Something I have never done before.
This card struck me as interesting. I liked that the words stick out at you. I think the stars make the picture seem more mysterious. I think everyone feels like they want to know more but some are more scared to find out the truth.
This struck me as depressing.At first glance I saw the teddy bear and the help me in the word bubble. I think this author hit it spot on. We try to be brave because that is what is expected of us, but we all have to give in at one point.
I believe if we do not ask for help we can diminish our own hope. I believe we all know these three phrases are lies but rarely do people look past the mask that people try to put on. If we tried harder to help each other and not lie to ourselves I believe we could mend more broken hearts. I think if we cared enough to help more there would be less depression and suicide.
This was so sad to me. I saw this postcard and I just want to crawl through my computer and give this person a hug. Such a traumatic experience is long lasting and it takes bravery to face the world again. I cannot help but think what they are going through. There is always pity for the family of a lost one, but noone thinks about the mentality of those who witnessed a painful death of someone.
I hope this person perserveers and lives to overcome this tragedy. Something likes this can scar some and I hope this scar is not to deep. I hope that this person does not suffer from such a memory.
This was not a shocker to me. This is really common and it is sad people go through this. Peer pressure is so horrible and lasting. This is also common with alcohol. Those who pressure someone into doing something that is wrong like drugs is cruel because they only force someone else to do it because they don't want to look stupid doing stupid things alone.
This reminded me of a commercial that use to play all the time. It was about a women who was pressured into smoking cigarrettes to be cool and then eveyone got help. Everyone stopped except her and she was no longer cool, but she couldn't stop.
This shocked me. Growing up we are always told to dream. Reach for the stars and be creative, because we could do anything. I don't think people notice how hard it is to get a job with just creativity.
If your creative in art you may become famous, but most artists are dead before their work is famous internationally. You may be the most artistic, smart, and creative person ever, but if you've broken laws you are likely to lose most opportunities no matter if you are the better candidate.
I thought this was really cute. I watched Pooh all the time when I was little. I miss the care-free nature of being little. I think that is what the auther is trying to portrey.
It would be a fun adventure to become a charcter. Living for a longtime, giving kids hope and dreams. Pooh is loving, happy, and fun, who better to have as a friend. :)
This shocked me. This was my childhood. I did not so much know who King Babar was though. I watched a movie were a human (can't remember if it was a male or female) goes through all these adventures and such then it flipped and she wakes up when someone saves her from a cave were she was knocked out.
I think this would be scary. I wonder how this person can to think this themselves. I wish I knew who King Babar is. It seems scary for a kid to be scared of such a cute character. I must say though they are artisitic though.
This struck me as romance and stupidity. I am not sure, but I will assume a woman wrote this message. I wonder what the female did and why he claimed credit. I would love this man if he took such a risk for me. I cannot understand though how she would let him go to prison for something she did.
Since she wrote this letter I assume she has guilt. I hope she finds a way to pay for what he helped her for. He is a great man and I hope she finds a way to keep him. I think a guy who would take jail time for you is pretty great, but I don't think I could watch someone suffer for my mistake.
I think this is ironic and shows each of us that brains and creativity should not be rated on just class grades. I believe that GPA should not be based on what grades you get in every class but should be weighted on how difficult the class is and if you try.
Many seniors all around the US take slack off courses senior year. I have seen many students climb in academic stanndings because all they take is easy classes. Valedvitorian should be based on participation in the school, grades, effort, and classes taken.
