                                                  Tuesdays With Morrie

                                                     By: Mitch Albom

I recommend this book because of its view on how life is fulfilled for some and empty for others. "Tuesdays With Morrie" is the heartwarming story of Albom's relationship with his college mentor, Morrie Schwartz, with whom Albom had lost touch for 16 years.

I recommend this book because of its in depth view on the Holocaust. Anne Frank writes about how she deals with the persecution of the Jews.

      The Harry Potter Book Series

                by: J.K. Rowling

These are very good books to recommend because of the thrill and mystery that each book contains. Harry Potter and his friends take you on wild adventures to solve the secret mysteries of Hogwarts school of Wizardry.

This is a story about a group of friends who stand together through life. They show us that life is just too short to let pass by.

Hobbies

          My favorite hobby is music. Whether I am playing a musical instrument or practicing choral music, I have fun. I especially have fun when I try to map out music. I find the chorus, the refrains and intros to a piece to music to be able to understand the songs.  Playing a song on an instrument helps me relieve stress. Choral work is a great activity that makes me feel like I can really connect with the music and its emotions. Since I was a little, I have enjoyed every aspect of music. I sometimes seclude myself with the music.  Music has made a big impact on my life now and will forever.

 There are many results of war such as death, casualties and destroyed land, but does anyone ever look deeply into the reality of the war? The painting above shows a simple but powerful view on war. This is a small shell that causes tremendous pain, sorrow and terror. The censorship of the United States and other countries never allowed a realistic view of the war. This caused civilians to have impressions of a "calm war." How long will it take to have people see that a war never has a winner? There are only losers.
