                                     Books Worth Reading

Title: Things Fall Apart
Author: Chinua Achebe
    This story is about a strong man named Okonkwo and his struggle with the white man. This novel shows how the "pushy Caucasians" basically destroy a well functioning Igbo tribe because they think they know best. I really enjoyed this book and  hope you do too.

Title: The Harry Potter books 1, 11, 111, and 1V
Author: J.K. Rowling
    I loved these books. They were fun and easy to read. They're basically about Harry and his adventures in wizardry. He overcomes foes, encounters "kooky" characters, and just has fun.  The Potter Books is a series you'll love to read

Title: Dreamcatcher
Author: Stephen King
   This book was quite interesting.  It starts off scary, but it gets a little wordy towards the end.  You'll enjoy reading this book, but it's definitely not one to read when you're sleepy.

Title:  Roses Are Red
Author: James Patterson
   This is a book you definitely cannot put down.  I read two of his earlier books, and they aren't as well developed as this one.  It started out slowly but gets really exciting towards the end  The relationships are so real, you feel as if you're experiencing them.

Title: The Bad Beginning
Author: Lemony Snicket
   This is an easy read.  It's sad yet funny.  I loved it, but be prepared to be left in suspense.  You'll be left wondering what happened to Sunny, Klaus, Violet, and Count Olaf.

                                                       *CHEERLEADING

I've been a cheerleader for about three years now.  It's one of my favorite things to do.  There's something about yelling and clapping that really gets me going.  Competitions are exciting and fun.  When you go to competitions you meet many interesting people.  That's why cheerleading is one of my favorite things to do.

World War I

Image source:World War 1 Archive 

* My Views on this Picture and the War
 I personally think war is a waste of time, money, energy, and lives.  War is basically organized chaos.  This picture by Oscar Laske, I think, shows how idiotic war really is.  Laske really captures the damage and turmoil war brings.  World War 1 was what I think a big mistake, and it saddens me to think that nobody learned from that demonstration of foolishness.  Well, I think you get the idea of what I think about war.

             The Precious one

The precious one from us has gone,
a voice we loved is stilled,
a special space inside our hearts that never can be filled,
the one we loved, the one we cherished now he's left, now he's perished,
we love you still and forever will precious one.
 

            Gone

Everyone I know has gone away,
died or left or just forgot to stay,
gone that's what they are,
gone dead or went away far,
going away without saying good-bye,
just the way they didn't say hi.
