In math, we made a LINEAR piece of art created with linear equations and random plots. Have fun(:

My partners and I covered Newton’s 3 Laws.

In the poem, “Richard Cory”, by Edwin Arlington Robinson, Richard Cory is one of the richest person in his town. All of the people envy him, and literally faint when he just says, “good morning.” Robinson refers to him to almost sound like a king; he makes it sound like his life is perfect. But in reality, its not. He shoots himself one summer evening. And that’s just the theme; Everyone can fake a smile. Just because it looks like someones happy on the outside, doesn’t mean that something or someone is hurting him on the inside. It may seem to look like he has a pretty perfect life in the beginning (to the people of course), but he really doesn’t.

The Diary of Anne Frank is a “tip-top” book for anyone who likes to read about family relationships, romance, or suspense.

This book is very well drawn out with many substantial details about her ways of life.  Learning those ways and how she lived is an incredible experience.  I felt like I was there, sitting at the kitchen table, listening to all of the arguments.  As I was reading, I could see and hear those arguments.  Literally the whole time I was reading this diary, I felt this way.

Anne Frank was Jewish, and of course she lived in the times when Adolf Hitler was ruining the lives of many, many Jews.  She lived in a hiding place, or the “Secret Annex”, with nearly twenty others.  It was remarkably  hard for her family.  They were undoubtedly very poor and rarely ever had an exceptional dinner.  The only times they ever had an incredible dinner was whenever there was a special occasion or holiday, such as Chanukkah (a jewish holiday LIKE Christmas).

This book is top-notch, but I would highly recommend it for teenagers.  Just so they could see how many things they really have in common with a Jewish girl from 1946.

Summer is almost here. 7th grade is almost over. I can’t wait for 8th grade! I’ve heard so  many GOOD things about it. What I can’t wait for, is summer. Beaches. friends. SLEEP. Just wish it would hurry up!

The City of Ember

By: Jeanne DuPrau

“There could be a black out any day now.”   Imagine a world that has NO technology and hardly any light (that doesn’t come from the sky).  You may think its crazy, but this is how my character Lina lives. As well as everyone else in The City of Ember.  The lights on at 6:00AM and lights out at 9:00PM.  They don’t control their own lights, the City Council does.

After Lina’s grandmother tears the whole apartment apart to find something, Lina ends up spying that peculiar thing that her grandmother had trouble getting ahold of.  The mysterious box had a paper in it that her sister, Poppy, got to it before she ever could.  Poppy ended up tearing the paper into little pieces and even put some of it in her mouth.

Over time she figures out just about half of the paper, and it ends up being something about “Instructions” that she believed can take not only her but the whole town out of Ember.

I would suggest this book to anyone who likes mysteries.  This book is one that will leave you hanging, and always has you sitting on the edge of your seat.  You will be begging for more when you finish!
