Child abuses.

Every day people go and live their life. They wake up, make coffee, take a shower and go to work. They hangout with friends and laugh. They gossip about people and how weird they think they are. People judge others everyday. No one can say they never judged someone in their life because the truth is, we have done it every since we were little kids. Everywhere you look you see people judgeing something about you, wheither it's the way you look, the way you dress or the way you act.

As all of this judgement is going on, people dont realize that their might be a reason for that person being that way. They could be going threw alot, weither it's not having a real family, being affected by poverty ar even getting abussed.


Two days ago I was sitting in my house with one of my friends, we were laughing becuase of this girl who wore the same thing everyday and how she looked as if she had shaved off all her eyebrows. While we were laughing I felt wrong, I felt as if I was commiting a crime and I was going to be sent on death row. I suddenly stoped laughing, and told my friend that my dad said no one could be over, so she left. Later on one of my best friends called me and told me about a book she just read and how it was one of the best books she had ever read. She came over, gave me the book and told me to read it.

A Child Called "It" was truley an insperational book. It made me think about all the people who I walk passed everyday that can be going threw things I couldn't even imagine. And how I would judge them on the stupidest things. While I was reading the book I couldn't beleive that that actually happend. It made me sick. I couldn't stop crying, it made me want to be a better person.

A Child Called "It" by David Peilzer is an aspiring book that shows determination through a little boy's eyes as he tells an unforgettable story of the many abuses he suffered at the hands of his alcoholic mother and the averted eyes of his neglectful father. As a young child only his dreams barely kept him alive and motivated to go on and fight stronger. His alcoholic mother found many "games" to play with him as a way of torture and she rarely gave him the luxury of food, which would only be scraps that even the dogs would not accept.

This book was truley an american master piece.

TWILIGHT FAN

In early 2008 I was introduced to the best book I had ever read. It was called Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. It is about a girl named Bella who moved from Arizona to Forks Washington, to live with her dad. She starts going to school and meets a boy named Edward and they fall in love. The Catch is that he is a vampire and he lives with his fampire family. Edward is in love with Bella and her blood smells the best that he has ever smelt. Unlike other normal fampire families his family and him don't drink human blood, but drink animal blood. In this book their are many adventures. Bella almost gets killed by a vampire named James but Edward saves her and kills him. This action is what brings the next couple books. New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking dawn, in which I can proudly say I have read atleast three times each. In my opinion Twilight is the best book of the series. On november 21,2008. I am really excited because the movie is coming out. But at the same time not. I dont think they picked the right person to play Edward so in my mind that messes up the whole thing. If anyone has any commentary about the series let me know.

Christopher Columbus revealed

Who is Christopher Columbus? That is a question I have finally answered. Growing up I was tought that Columus was the guy who discovered America, I was tought to look at him as a hero. But I have come to think other wise. In my history class I learned that he was an evil man. He lied and cheated his way to the top. He sailed to India and took them as prisioners and claimed that he discovered the land. If you think about it how can you discover something that was already discovered? If anyone has a answer to that let me know. He also told the Indians that if they didnt fill a cup full of gold each day he would cut of their hands. In my opinion this shows that he dosn't desearve reconition for being a bad person and lying. He also took credit for things that werrn't his to take, he did this because he wanted power and in order to get power you have to be rich. In my opinion I dont think we should celebrate Columbus day because he didnt even discover anything and he killed and tourtured people. At the begining of his exploration their were 10million indians, at the end thier were 1 million left. I dont think a murder should be rewarded with good things. If you have an opinion let me know? Do you still think its worth celebrating Colimbus day??
