This is the fifth book in the series and its about how the girls of Octavian Country Day, except for Kristen who cant afford the trip and has to stay home ni Westcheseter alone,pack up all of their warmest clothes and board the bus to got on the Presidents Day class trip to Lake Placid. Close to the girls cabins are the Briarwood boys just a few feet away. Massie sets up a group called M.U.C.K. that means Massies Underground Clinic for Kissing. Alicia gets mad at Claire cause Josh likes Claire more than her and ended up kissing her when Claire was supose to be meeting Cam.

The Wrestling Match Review

In the book The Wrestling Match, Okie was the leader of his age group of boys. I think that he made a good leader even though he was angered and confused about life after the murder of his parents in the Nigerian Civil War. Okies uncle Obi Abigalga was a good character in the book. He took Okie in when his parents were murdered and got him educated so that he would have a better chance at making money than have him work on the farm for the rest of his life. This story is a good book on learning how and what it takes to be a great leader like Okie was for his age group in the village.

End of Jr. Year=/

My junior year has been some ride. I made new friends, I lost old friends, and I got back in touch with some older friends but it has been a great year and I wouldnt change anything about it. I have made soo many memorys this year and most of them I will never forget. I have thought a lot this year about how I only have one more year of high school and I think it is very sad. It makes me feel like Im really old and grown up. Me and my friends have talked about how we just want to go back to 5th grade where everyone from different schools all joined together at the middle school. Nobody knew anyone and we were all in the same position, basically alone and waiting to meet the new friends that we while spend the rest of our jr. high and high school grades with. No drama, no fighting, just kids meeting new friends that they will have for the rest of their life. Well now that I have one more year left of seeing these people Ive seen everyday for the past 7 years, I want to get closer with all of them this summer and have the time of our lives! Im happy that I have got my junior year over with but Im sad at the same time because now I only have one more year then I am done!

She will do anything to do it besides that she does not the idea of inviting her entire class or sharing it with Claire. Claire is the girl whose family has moved into Massies guest house. She is not very pretty and she does NOT have money, but she is going to do whatever it takes to get into the Clique if it takes her the rest of her life. Then theres Dylan Marvil.

Night

The way Eliezer told his story in Night of how he was treated in the concentration camp and all throughout the Holocaust was extremely sad. I think that no one should of had to go through that and its sad that some people actually thought it was right for them to treat people the way that they did. Eliezer was lucky that he lived through out the Holocaust, but after that he was scarred for the rest of his life with the memories of everything in the concentration camps, the hanging of the sad faced angel, the murder of everyone.

Holocaust Haiku!

the poor jews
who had suffered in pain
are now free

Favorite Internet Thing/Web-Based Web Tool

My favorite internet thing/web-based web tool would have to be the blogs. I've never had a blog before this year but I kind of like them now that I understand them. At first when i got on the computer and Mrs. Gillmore was saying to do all of this and that, I got reeeaaalllyyy confused and didnt like the blogs at all. I also kept forgetting my password and login name . So finally I started figuring out how they worked so i ended up liking them better! So now its my favorite internet thing/web-based web tool!
