Reading

I finished the sequal to stargirl, called love, stargirl. I enjoyed this book even more because it was from stargirls point of view this time. This book made me think about how much good a person can do & feel. It was a little frusterating at times because i always wanted her and leo together, even if that wasnt the case. I would also recommend this book to people who have read stargirl, because you feel like your one of the characters, or in the book.

I finished a book called star girl by jerry spinelli a few days ago. Iv read it before but i forgot what it was about, i remebered liking it so i decided to re-read it because its a short book. I loved this book because it makes people think about how they act, and how they can be better people. I would recomend this book to everybody.

I was searching around the internet for an interesting health article, and i found one about the bird flu. It was about how Minnesota may not buy all of the medication. Minnesota has all ready spent 4 million dollars on medication. The drug has a shelf life of 7 years. I didnt really have an opinion on this article because i havnt heard anything about the bird flu in a long time, and i thought that it almost dissapeared.

I just finished the first book in the series called The Au Pairs by melissa de la cruz. Its about these three girls who come from compleity different lives, and work ass au pairs in the hamptons for the summer. the book got a little annoying, but i had to finish it (its one of my pet peeeves). I havnt decided if i want to read the second book because it seemed like one of those books that are a waste of time. Although i do enjoy trashy girl reads, this one however wasnt a good one i believe.

I just read and article about this woman who lost 160 pounds by going on the "raw" diet. I found this article really confusing because it said that her diet consisted of uncooked and unprocessed vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds. I was trying to think of how somebody could only eat those food groups, and i got lost. I compared what i normally eat, and what she would normally eat, and it seemed like she was starving herself. Although im glad that her life turned around, within the first month of her dieting she got her first boyfriend of 5 years, and started feeling more emotionally, physically, and mentally happy.

Reading

I recently read a book called Marley and Me by John Grogan. I was happily suprised by how much i liked it, i never thought that a book about a dog could be so good. Its about a newly wed couple who decide to get a dog. They were shown the hard way that having a huge yellow lab would be more work than it seemed. I liked this book because it was fun for me to be able to relate my dog to marley. i recently found out that there is a movie comming out so im excited for that too, even though the books are usually better than the movies.

A Civil Action Paragraph Response

If we polute the world, we are polluting our resources. people think that they can go around throwing their trash everywhere, and still have a safe clean planet. In the movie A Civil Action John Travoltas character Jan Schlichtmann comes across a case where peoples children in this small town are dying of lukemia due to drinking posinous water. if we are mean to our earth, then the earth is going to be "mean" to us.
