Sophomore Reflection

hmm...my sophomore year...well it was interesting

This past year has been crazy! I don't even know where to begin!

I'm finally a junior now. I can't believe it. I'm growing up. I have to face that fact. I have to start thinking about what i want to do with my life. I have to start thinking about college.

I have realized who my real friends are. I have lost a few friends this year, but is for the better. These friendships ended badly, but i realized what these people are really like.

"There comes a point in life when you realize who matters, who
never did, who won't anymore, and who always will, so don't worry
about people from your past, because there's a reason they didn't
make it to your future"
Just like the quote says, i'm not going to worry about those people because there is a reason why they did not make it to my future.
I know my junior year will have its drama, but i am hoping that there will be less of it.

Of Mice and Men review

I highly recommend reading Of Mice and Men because it is a very very good book.



George and Lennie have been together forever. George takes care of Lennie. Lennie is big, but he is dumb. He can't remember a thing.



George always tells him that they're going to get some money and buy themselves a piece of land. George tells him that they are going to "live off the fat of the land".



Lennie is always getting into trouble. He never means in harm, but he's so big and strong that he just gets himself into trouble all the time. When Lennie pushes it a little too far things turn for the worse.



What becomes of Lennie? Read the book and find out!

The Giver review

The Giver is a book of hope for something more in life.



When Jonas is chosen to be the new Receiver of Memory, he is scared because all of the rules are new, and he is not sure of what the job will bring.



Jonas is not allowed to tell anyone of anything about he job as Receiver of Memory. Jonas learns so many things that he never knew before, that no one else in the community knows. He begins to "see beyond". Jonas undergoes a lot of pain.



When Jonas hears of some terrible news, he flees the city, taking a little boy named Gabriel with him. He is in search of a new and better life.

Animal Farm review

Animal Farm is a story of hope. The animals all work together for one common purpose.

When the animals run off the owner of the farm they set up some rules to go by; They basically form their own way of living.

When some disagreeing occurs Snowball is run off, leaving Napoleon to take lead.

When Napoleon changes rules and takes over the whole farm, things go crazy. Animal Farm is never the same.
