My Classes

School has always been interesting to me. You see, I go to a school where we have 'A' days and 'B' days. School has always had the most interesting classes.I have an interesting class schedule.

My 'A' day class schedule has my easier classes.
1A. I have Spanish which helps me to learn another foreign language.My Spanish teacher makes learning fun.
2A. I have physical education which helps teach working together in team sports. My friends in there talk to me when we go out to exercise. My favorite sport we play is dodgeball.
3A. I have Geometry which helps me figure out how to apply mathematic equations to shapes. My Geometry teacher helps and makes the class more interesting.
4A. I have Art which helps me to increase my artistic abilities. I am glad we get grades for our effort and not the finished project because some of my projects are terrible.

My 'B' day schedule brings my harder classes with it.
1B. I have World history in which we learn the history of the world. My history teacher is really kind. I like to learn about Medieval Times the most.
2B. I have Biology in which we learn about how living things function. The most interesting thing I have learned in there is that I share the same DNA as my identical twin sister.
3B. I have English which is not like my other classes because it is an honors class. My favorite thing about the class is that we get to work with mini laptop computers.
4B. I have Desktop Publishing in which we learn how to apply techniques that appeal to the sight to our documents. My favorite thing we have done in that class is work with Adobe InDesign CS2.

Thirteen Reasons Why

When Clay gets home from school, and finds a package, he wonders who sent the package. Inside are seven audiotapes, each side containing a number one all the way to thirteen. No number is on the last side. Jay Asher's Thirteen Reasons Why astonished me with the amazing story held within.

The writing style holds unique characteristics. I like how Hannah's and Clay's words blend. The style gives helps with the fact that the story is supposed have taken place after a suicide. The narrator's voice saddens because of all the tapes. This style differs from most the books I have read because most books I have read have not told the story, then the person listening to the story's reaction.

The main characters are Hannah, Clay and Tony. Hannah Baker's is the girl who committed suicide. She left behind her tapes as reasons why she committed suiciede. Clay Jenson recieved the tapes. He wondered why he got them. Tony owns the walkman that Clay steals.

The plot begins. Clay finds a package when he gets home from school. When he opens the package, there are seven tapes inside. Each side has a number except for the last side. Clay pops the first tape in the garage stereo, and hears Hannah Baker's voice. Her voice tells him the tapes contain thirteen reasons as to why she killed herself. Clay goes over to Tony's, after telling his mom he had to work on a school project. Tony had been working on his car. Clay get's in the car and starts it as Tony had instructed. Clay spots the walkman, grabs it, and leaves. Clay goes on following Hannah's map.

The book should be read by those who love a good story. The book teaches a lesson, that what we say can affect others. The book should not be read by the mentally depressed.

I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You

Cammie goes to a spy school, where she is a future spy. When girl meets a boy, and cannot tell him where she goes to school things get difficult. Ally Carter's I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You astonished me with the story held within.


The theme of the book is that secrets can lead to trouble. When Cammie dates Josh, behind her mother's back, it leads to needing the help of Macey McHenry and having to help her. Her mom seems to think of the way they are getting along as suspicious. If Cammie had not been going to spy school, then she would not have had to lie to Josh. Maybe then it would have been okay to tell Josh.

The characters are Cammie, Liz, Bex, Macey, and Josh. Cammie goes to spy school where her mom is the head mistriss. She secretly dates Josh. Lis may be the next Einstein, according to her friends and classmates. Bex came to Gallager Academy as there first non-U.S. citizen. Macey has a Senator father, and came to the school as a tenth grader having to take newbie, seventh grade courses. Josh is the normal boy that Cammie secretly dates.


The booke has many good parts. One good part is when Liz made the tire blowup on the Driver's Education vehicle in front of Josh's house. This book should be read by those who love a good book. The book holds a very good story.

Invisible Man by H.G. Wells book review

Why does the stranger, who comes into the inn, wear bandages? Did he get hurt in an accident? Maybe, there was some other reason to it. H.G. Wells's Invisible Man astonished me with how different the dialogue is from that of our time.

The author had an eloquent writing style. He wrote in a way that seemed he had experienced the story first hand. The style gives a senses of the place of wher its set, by how people talk. The narrator's voice is that of someonewho has witnessed a little, too much anger. The style differs from other books, I have read because most books I read are written in an easier to understand style.

The plot begins. This stranger comes into a vicarage in Iping. Mrs. Hall senses him as strange. The stranger has bandages on his face, and always stays covered up. The vicarage is robbed. When the vicars go into the room where the noise is coming from, there appears to be no one in there. Also no one appeared to be in the stranger's room. The stranger started reeking havock, as the invisible man. He got Mr. Marvel to be his confederate. Some shooting occured at his next stop.

This book connects with Things Not Seen, another book, because the boy in that book becomes invisible.The boy in that book also has to cover up when going out, like the stranger. The book connects to me because sometimes I can have anger issues.

I recommend this book to those up to the challenge of reading a story straight from the late 1800's. The book had good points and bad points. The book does not need to be read by those who cannot understand big words.
