Ginger Bread Houses

Frosting dotted the candied windows, and it glazed my sister lips. Every so often a spoonful of frosting disappeared into the dark bottomless stomach of mine. Candies were laid on a path to the man's house, and the beautiful ginger world was safe from all harm. The man's children and wife came out to greet him. Suddenly the world went dark a hand reached for the man and suddenly his head was gone. Crumbs splattered on the ground, cries echoing in the air.
"DADDY NOO," screamed the children.
"Oh my god, honey," shouted the wife. Soon another hand swooped down grabbing the youngest son and the wife, in an evil fist. They screamed, but it was all over to soon. The house, the world, gone, swept into a bottomless pit.

Slicin about lifin'- Numero 5, Unfair

Laughs filled the air after a fun game of capture the flag. Immediately we started playing with the football. We passed it around in about a group of 7. After around 15 minutes we started playing keep away with 4 people. I nutmegged someone, and the ball was picked up by the teacher and taken from us for no apparent reason. This occurred while other kids were playing with balls and other types of sports equipment. Football is a fantastic sport, the most popular in the world, and should be equal to every other sport.

A Poem About Stuffing Myself

Older relatives squabble over who will pay

Younger cousins scream, and play

They're apparently unaffected 

By the meal that was perfect

Down from my plate and into my throat 

But now my stomach continues to bloat

My taste buds are cheering

But my stomach silently cries

As it was filled with one too many pies

The Moment I Turned Normal

The crisp summer sun filled the bright car. My hands grasped the burning door handle and swung the door open. My long hair brushed the frame of the car door as I walked out. My vans crept over the sidewalk, my glasses fogging up with each step. A tattered hoodie was draped across my torso, and a pair of jeans hugged my legs tightly. I tightly grasped the handle of the door and stepped into the cool, dark room. The air conditioning immediately hit me, and the cold air immediately washed through my long locks. My barber approached asking what type of haircut I would like.

CUT IT ALL OF. The ceremonial scissor was raised and the first bit of hair fell to the floor.

A special thanks to Julia Michele Obama Chavez Vesuala Johnson Goslleeeee Podz Fort Collins Klein Buendal Gonzales, for inspiration, and to my barber.

Lord of the Flies- Book Blog- Part 1

William Golding executes a riveting book, with Lord of the Flies. Several boys are stranded on an island, after their plane went down. After coming together, they must learn how to survive and get along with one another. This novel is a fantastic read, especially as it delves into the darker side of human nature and fear. You will become attached to characters and hate others. There is a little mature content, but overall this book has so far been a great read. It definitely earns the fame it has received, and I recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, adventurous, and almost invigorating read. My favorite character so far is Ralph, who is strong, and stands up for Piggy a little more than the others.

Slice of Life #2

The wind howled as it drifted through the bare branches of the trees. The ground squished, by a thick layer of ice. Silhouettes of people wrapped up warm dotted the landscape. The sun had quickly faded under the horizon as the car pulled up the road. Rusted brakes screeched it to a halt. He knew he had to get inside quickly if he wanted them to survive. He clutched a bag in one hand and ran up the icy stairs. Struggling slightly to open the frozen gate, a tear dropped from his face. Finally the gate swung open. He leaped forward with his front foot and slammed it shut with the other. He pressed his cold fingers against the doorbell. A light flickered on in the house. A smile crept along the boys face. A soft glow turned on inside and a rugged man came to the door. Heat drifted from the house, and the boy hurried in. He was safe from the cold.

Elastico Superfly IC

The beautiful Nike swoosh running down the side of the shoe. The cascading light from the computer screen creates an eerie glow onto the yellow flynet material. The ankle sleeve protruding from the shoe casting an even further aura of beauty around the beautiful Elastico Superfly IC. My excited hands gripped the cold mouse. I shuffled it to the side and clicked add to cart. The feeling was incredible, adrenaline rushed through my body and happiness flooded the world. I inserted all of the necessary details into the checkout section of the web page and grasped the mouse once again. I scrolled up to the top of the page and checked all of the information I had given the website. Address, check, credit card details, check, name, check, shipping, check, shoe size, check. I scrolled to the bottom and hovered the mouse icon over the buy item button. My index finger rose slowly, drifting through the air. Then it slammed down onto the left side of the mouse. CLICK. An overwhelming feeling of happiness rushed into me. But then the sudden reality came, I had to wait 2-5 days for them to come.

Candor, the honest, Abnegation, the selfless, Dauntless, the brave, Amity, the peaceful, and Erudite, the intelligent. All sixteen year olds must choose a faction to join. Beatrice makes her choice and is pushed through into extremely tough competitive challenges. My favorite character was Beatrice, she stuck true to herself, even though it wasn't right, and it would separate her from her family. I really liked this book with all it's adventures and fun. There is a bit of mature content but not much. I'm going to read lord of the flies next and then maybe the hobbit for fun.

She can not move or talk, but she is smart. Melody dislikes her special education classes but she can't speak up about everything. People assume she is stupid and incompetent, but she is a really smart girl trapped inside a lifeless body. Her life is changed when she gets a computer that talks for her.

The book follows most of Stephen's life during and before the war. The war closes in, and Stephen experiences the horrors of fighting and the disgusting trenches.

Slaughter House Five Part 2

As I progressed further through the pages of this book I realized that it was a good book, but I didn't enjoy it. It was written in a very slow paced style of writing and it could sometimes trail off into a specific subject that just got dull to read. The characters, I found, weren't very interesting and they did not grow on me. Although I say this, the book, I think, deserves its title of a classic. This is because it is  a very unique book and it shows a life style that is different and that is good for observing. Although I didn't enjoy this book, I would recommend it for someone with patience.

Slaughter House Five

Slaughter House Five, by Kurt Vonnegut, is a book that deserves the title of a classic. This book follows an elderly man, Billy Pilgrim. About twenty years ago he lived through the bombing of Dresden, but just the thought of it haunts him today. He questions his actions and others actions as he intensely searches for answers inside his own head. Soon Billy begins to question humanity and its actions as society's misunderstanding of him grows larger and larger. Using dark humor and a very casual style of writing Vonnegut creates a book with sorrow and laughter. This book is a pretty quick read, but Vonnegut can sometimes trail off into different subjects making it tough to follow and creating a slower paced style.

This book is a good read with laughter and sadness throughout its pages.
I recommend this book for anyone looking for a great book.

The Sisters Brothers

The Sisters Brothers takes place during The Gold Rush. The book follows two assassin brothers, Eli and Charlie Sisters on a quest to find and kill Hermitt Warm. Eli starts to question his life style and Charlie starts to question his partner. While they find their target? Or while they disband as partners and brothers? Follow them on their epic quest to find Hermitt. This book is full of dark humor and will entice you into a crazy plot and mysterious adventure.

I recommend this book for mature readers with a good sense for good books. This book contains a lot of mature content including a lot of gore and violence.

The book cover
