Love and Sex (Newspaper Story)

Breaking News!!!

Do you remember about eight years ago, when a young girl about 10 years old, was strucked by lightning? They said it was an accidental death, but now after a long time, a witness, finally has the guts to speak up, and say what really happened. He supposedly wants to talk about it now, because the same thing almost happens to his girlfriend. He says that a guy in a motorcycle came and took the girl. She was happy and in a way kind of hypnotized. The next morning she was found dead in the mountains. Now, eight years later, his girlfriend was the one hypnotized. When he saw them go away in the motorcycle, he followed them and got there just in time to save her from getting struck by a lightning ray that the guy in a motorcycle had supposedly summoned. At first nobody believed him, but when his girlfriend spoke and showed us her bald head, we knew it was true. You might wonder what the hair has to do with it, but it actually has to do a lot.She was so close to being struck by lighting that her hair burned off. She was lucky to have a brave boyfriend who loved her enough to risk his life and save her, unlike the little girl eight years ago.

Love and Sex (Symbols)

OK, don't judge a book by it's cover, or title. No, this book is not perverted, actually it gives a lot of lessons on life and gives you an example on how you should handle things, especially girls. In one of these short stories, a girl gets pregnant from a guy she's been dating for a year. But the thing is, she doesn't even love him. He's just too perfect. So when she finally decides to break up with him, she finds out she's pregnant. At this moment she is shocked and doesn't know what to do. So after talking to her aunt, she decides to have an abortion. This is the symbol in my story. Abortion. It is a word that many dislike, or maybe even hate. Some might don't know what to think of it, it seems like such a good way to get rid of something that you wish had never happened, but, it is also killing. It is the symbol in my story because it represents that shock that a person has to get in life in order to mature. It is that thing that makes you want to change and that sets you straight in life. I believe that every single adult in this world has had to go through something that changed them forever. For many women, this shock might have been abortion. After Cassandra, the girl in my story, had an abortion, her life changed a lot and her personality too. She might feel regret for aborting and not even telling her ex-boyfriend about it, but what does he know about abortion? He's never going to have to go through it and he's not the one who would have had to not go to college and stay with the baby. Maybe, this was the right thing to do.

The Road of the Dead II

I like this picture because it shows the road that Cole and Ruben were walking. The sun represents their goal which was to find out the truth. The ice represents their problems and all of the times they fell to finally get what they wanted.

The Road of the Dead

This my continuation of the book. I'm telling it from Ruben's point of view

Chapter 21
After a long ride we finally made it to plymouth. It was early in the morning and we were all tired and stinky. But we were happy and satisfied to know that red and his crew had paid for all they had done. We also had John Selden's body and now everyhing could be solved.
"I thought I told you guys to go home a long time ago." Pomeroy said looking at us in a nasty and annoyed way.
"Yeah, but i guess we did your job for you" cole sounded happy yet serious, pomeroy was confused.
"What are you talking about"
"We know who killed rachel, he's dead, and we've got his body"
"Did you kill him?"
"No, you probably didn't know but some skanks from that town had things going on"
"yeah what kind of things?" pomeroy rudely interrupted
"Look, if you want to know you can just go to the town yourself and investigate, and that's something you should've done a while ago. I just want you to do a study on selden's body, prove he killed rachel and give us back her body"
"well, well, well, you surprise me, give me the body and if he's the one, you'll have her body monday morning."

~ Monday Morning~

On moday morning we got rachel's body. Cole and I were back in London with mom, and everything was OK. Mom was grateful to have us back, and after the long journey through the road of the dead, we got over rachel's death. We didn't really get over it, but we were ok with it and we just accepted the fact that she was gone. It was a long road, but it was all worth it.

Leaving Fishers >.<

A young girl that doesn't know what to do

She feels lost inside

She just moved, and has nothing to loose

Her only way out...FISHERS

They seem to have exactly what she needs

Companionship, friends, love

What more could she want at such sad moment in her life

But then there's this Dark side of fishers

A side she doesn't seem to see

A side in which they manipulate, and make her think as they wish

Now she's really loosing something,

As a matter of fact EVERYTHING

All of her time is spent doing "fisher activities"

she's loosing control of her schoolwork and family

until the last strand breaks

she looses her job

the only thing that actually made her happy

and kept her going no matter what

she finally realized what a pile of **** it all was

this was the strand that made her leave fishers

but now, she faced the stress

the uncertainty she had,

once again she was all alone

but she wasn't the only one who got away

other people who also used to be fishers united

and together

THEY GOT RID OF FISHERS

yay! i'm done =D

OK, I'm done reading "When She Was Good". So...this girl, Em, has an older sister. They live together in an apartment, even though Em's sister, Pamela, is very abusive to her she loves her and depends on her. I think she feels this way because ever since she was little her parents kind of put her on the side and Pamela was the only one giving her attention. Usually bad attention. So, one day Pamela dies. Em doesn't realize that now she is free to do whatever she wants and that Pamela isn't going to be there to yell at her or hit her. Throughout the book Em is talking about her life before living alone with Pamela, while living alone with Pamela, and now that Pamela's dead. For some reason she can't stop thinking about her and feeling scared. It seems to me that Em's life revolves around Pamela. In the search for a new life, Em tries to plant a garden just like her mother would've. But the building manager doesn't allow her to. She feels hopeless. It takes Em about two months to realize that she is free. During those two months all she does is think about Pamela and what she isn't going to allow her to do. But one day, she wakes up to an empty apartment. There is NO Pamela, finally she opens her eyes, and starts doing what she likes. She found a job, found a place for her garden and thought about her dead mother and how much she had suffered. I don't know what to think about this book. I like it because I like her story, I liked reading all the things she had to go through, but I didn't like the ending. It was so vague. I think the author might want the readers to infer that she will have a good life and forget about all of the difficulties she had, but I still want something more. Something to give me a little more detail of how things are going to be different for Em. But then again, maybe that's the mystery that the author wants to leave me with.

When she was good

For my first independent reading book I chose "When She Was Good" by Norma Fox Mazer.When I was looking down the list, this book popped out with it's interesting title. Later, when I read the excerpt, it was still interesting, so I decided to read it. This book is interesting because it seems as if this girl is going to have to go through difficult situations and she will have to make difficult decisions. I like these kind of books because they are so realistic and I like realistic stuff. It makes it easier to put yourself in the characters place. It surprises me that this author used to write fiction. It is cool how an author can go from writing pulp fiction to realistic fiction. It is also good that Norma Fox Mazer changed her writing style because she changed it to appeal the youth, since I'm a teen I'm happy that she's trying to appeal me. If I keep reading at least 100 pages per week I'll be done in about two weeks and a half. =D
