Eric Nylunds' First Strike blew me away with the amount of action and back story that was in it.
Theme of this book fits into the bullying mentallity unit because The main character John has to kill a few people to get the rest of them to do what he needs them to do. I love the style of this book because its what I like, a lot of action, its what made the book to me, worth reading. The characters in this book also made it a good read. John, Sergeant Johnson, Haverson, and Cortana. All of them are from a very popular videogame called HALO.
The setting in this book is very fictional, in that its set 500 years in the future, and the human race is under attack by an alien race called The Covenate. This book also provides backstory to the second videogame in the trilogy.
I would reccomend this book to anyone who likes HALO or loves fiction books with lots of action.

Semester tests
In my opinion semester tests are a necesary evil, but I also think that you should be exempt from the tests if you have and A in the class.
Bullying
I think that there is a small bullying problem in our school. Not a very bad one but there is definately bullying, and I think that we need to have a stricter policy on bullying because when this does happen nothing really happens to the offender. So in my opinion bullying is present but its not a major problem.
Being thankful
There are many things that I am thankful for, but I'll name a few.
1. My family
2. My freinds
3. My car
4. My own room
5. Food
Those are the things that I'm most thankful for.

"Speak" book review
Laurie Halse Andersons' Speak moved me by how one girl had to take on so much in her life, and finnaly fixing it all.
The theme of this book I would have to say is that no matter how hard life is at the moment, you need to get some strength and push through it, or it will continue to be a bad situation. This book also fits into the "bulling mentallity unit" because, of the way all the other people in the book treat Melinda, the main character. The style of the book is more like a play because of the way the characters lines are seperated. The main characters in this book are Melinda, Andy Evans, Heather, and Ivy. These characters all play some of the most important parts in the book.
The setting for this book is a highschool that Melinda is going to. The plot of the book is that Melinda had a terrible experience over the summer and when she got back to school no one accepted her except for a new girl. Then she has to start confronting her problems and relates them to a tree.
I would reccomend this book to anyone who is interested in drama genre.

Gears of War book review
Karen Traviss' Gears of War Aspho Fields overtook me with the amount of action and back story.
Theme of this book fits into "A Pioneer never quits" because even when things are starting to look really bad people seem to pull through and continue on. I like the style of this book because it has a mix of humor, drama, and has some serious notes to it.
The characters in this book are awsome, partly because they have a very unique personalities to them. Carlos, Marcus, and Dom remind me of my two friends because were more of a family than just friends.
Setting in this book plays a pretty important role in the way the book flows, because it's not Earth, it's a planet called Sera which is pretty similar to Earth. The details of were things in the book take place are pretty vivid so its easy to picture what the area looks like.
The plot of the book is to bridge the gap between the game Gears of War and the sequel Gears of War 2, and to provide a back story to the first game.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes science fiction, or is a fan of the games.

Well so far school this year has gone ok. I'm liking the 11th grade and my teachers are allright. I was hopeing to start the year off better than I have and now I need to try and raise my grades. Right now I'm starting to read a book called Gears of War Aspho Fields and so far its a pretty good book and I'm hoping that it stays as good as it has started.
Also I joined the FCCLA and im hopeing that it is at least an ok club. I mean at least some of my friends are in it.
My duck I almost forgot. Well I've decided to name him Lance, but honestly I really dont know why. Well as I've said I hope this year goes good for me.
