Sahara special

It was Sahara's dad who came up with the name sahara, he named her after the dessert because of its great beauty. she still writes to him but there is never anywhere to send them out to, except heaven but then what would the point of sending them be. Sahara writes the letters everyday and eventually there are so many that they all spill out of her desk and the teachers find them. it is then that they decide that she must work with a special needs teacher along with some crazy kid named Darrel stikes who has anger issues. eventually after being with the special needs teacher for a while, and not doing her work for a while, she has to repeat 5th grade. this year seems to be different with a new, very weird teacher who teaches things very differently but somehow finds a way to look deep inside of people. when she looks deep inside of Sahara, she finds that she will be a writer. and she is.


i thought that this was a good book. it was a quick read but had some language.

SOL #6 cabaret

SSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH... everyone be quit were about to go on! the lights darken and the first line of the song is sung. we all listen intently backstage for our parts, and when its time, we hurry up the sides of the stage. I look out at the sea of faces staring expectantly up at us. when i glance up , i see the bright lights and blink. I make a game of singling out my friends and meeting eyes with them. all to soon, the lights darken and we run back offstage. after tons of hurrying on and off stage, it was finally the last song. our legs ache and we all are singing and  clapping like zombies even though we are singing a happy song. suddenly as we run off stage I feel a burst of energy and join in on the whooping, screaming and hugging thats going around at the joy of completing one more performance.

life is unfair SOL #5

Manny things in everyones life are unfair, wheather it its your older sibling getting something first or you having to go throu something bad and someone else not having to. I remember, when i was little, my big brother got everything before me and could do anything it seemed like. Now i think about people who had to go to consentrasion camps and be tortured as unfair. even though making our inventions about making life more fair were hard, i think it is good to think about all the diferent aspects of unfair.

this one summer

Rose and her family go up to Awago beach every year, Rose has a best friend there who is a year and a half younger than her but they still always hang out. this summer seems a little different though, her parents are fighting, there are some weird teenagers and her and her cousin spend the whole time watching horror movies. i don't want to say to much more so i don't revile a lll of it.

over all this was a pretty good book. it had a LOT of cursing (like every other sentence), and some mature topics. it is a very quick read because it is a graphic novel.

Thanksgiving break SOL

clip clop, clip clop. I secure my helmet on to my head and pull my hair back. I am walking very stiffly due to the chilling cold. The gate swings open and the horse jumps forward once we get in I slide in to the cold saddle and shiver. as we zoom past the gate, I swear i can still smell turkey in the air. I think back to Thanksgiving, the turkey, the family, the relatives, and that warm cozy feeling.
