JUNIOR YEAR...OVER**

I cant beleive im officially a senior! wooop! I have began to notice alot of freedoms i now have that i didnt as of about two years ago. Its great! My best friend Deirdre, and I drove to Missouri, Jonesboro, and Conway by ourselfs just these past few months. Im getting a job this summer and i have been babysitting. I also find school work easier to do because i see the bennifit of it in the long run. Im hoping my senior year will be a little less stressful than my junior year was but if its not, it will be ok. After all, senior year does prepare me for college. So...bring it on LIFE!

The Wrestling Match

Buchi Emecheta's short story, The Wrestling Match, is a tale of a small town in Nigeria, Africa who is having some problems with their young. The elders dicide to use their knowledge on things such as these and devise a plan to prove a very important point to the younglings. That point is, "In a good war, nobody wins." In the end that point is proved and widely understood. This book had an ending i would have to say i did not expect, but was pleased with.

Night

Eli Wiesel's novel, Night, was a heart wrenching tale of this Holocaust survivor himself. It told of his starvation, work, blood, sweat, tears, and loss of beloved family. In the end he was alone. It was only him, and his testimony. Reading this book really put the holocaust into perspective for me. How harsh those times where! I had no idea. God bless those who had to go through that.

Pretty Little Liars

Sara Shepard's novel, Pretty Little Liars, is the first book of a series. I greatly enjoyed reading this book. It is based in a small rich town called Rosewood Day. The main characters are five girls who are the best of friends. Suddenly, out of the blue, one of the girls named Alison goes missing. Now the police are on a huge search for where she could be. Is she dead? That is the question that haunts each of the girls every day. When the girls start receiving texts signed "A" from an unknown number, they begin to wonder if Ali really might still be alive. Then, their worst fears are confirmed. Ali's body is found. The police question the girls on anything, and everything they know. The only problem is, the things that they know that might help, they cant tell because this information could be quite self incriminating. Now its up to the girls to figure out who did it since they cant give the police any information on their dark secrets. Who is "A" if Ali is dead? Did "A" kill Ali? If not, then who did?

WEB TECH TOOL*

My favorite web-tech tool that I have used this year is Google. I know its what everybody uses, but its so handy! All one has to do is simply type in a question, topic, or key word, and hundreds of sites come up all in one place. Its an easy way to find the best sites on a specific topic. I used Google on every project we were assigned...all year! Thanks Google, for making it so easy!

FINAL THOUGHTS ON THE HOLOCAUST

THE HOLOCAUST WAS EVEN MORE TERRIBLE THAN I HAD EVEN THOUGHT. THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE DIED JUST BECAUSE ONE MAN DIDNT CARE FOR THEM. THAT WAS SO WRONG. I GENUINLY HOPE THAT NEVER HAPPENS AGIAN. RESEARCHING THIS TOPIC REALLY OPENED MY EYES TO HOW HARSH THING REALY WHERE.
