The Death Cure is the last book of the Maze Runner Series. I have to say, the ending was really good, and really bad. I won’t tell you why or how because if I do, the thrill will be gone.
The entire series is just really great, I was engaged, and it really made me think about things. The book really saddened me at times, which I think is probably good because it’s actually good enough to make the reader really care about the characters and what’s happening. There are a lot of really emotional moments in this book.
Twisted is the ninth book of the pretty little liars series which is a series about 4 girls dealing with the death of their friend. In this book they are basically dealing with trying to keep the secret of what they did in Jamaica during spring break from getting out.
To start off the my research project on Abraham Lincoln I started off getting people opinions and reading other people's articles on Lincoln giving them my ideas by commenting on their articles and communicating with each person by giving and receiving feedback.There was a few people that helped me out my friends and teachers. My teacher even told me to go see the movie which i did in November.
Elsewhere is a story about a girl named Elizabeth or Lizzie. She is a fifteen year old girl. She died in car accident when she was riding her bike to the mall to meet up with her best friend Zoey. The beginning of the book starts with Lizzie waking up on a boat wearing strange pajamas. She was in a room with a girl that was around her age. Later in the story she finds out the girl's name is Thandi and she is 17 years old. She died by getting shot in the head while she was walking with her boyfriend. While they are on the boat they meet a old musician named Curtis Jest.
The last place I read my book was on the train on my ride home today. I read from page 25 to page 66 in “Wanted: A Pretty Little Liars novel” By Sara Shepard. I really like this story so far. It’s about 4 girls who deal with the death of one of their former best friends. While they are deal with the grief, an anonymous person named “A” sends them messages, threatening them and informing them that he/she knows their secrets. The problem driving the plot is person vs. society, person vs. person, and person vs. self.
The topic that I have decided to go with is Serial Killers and the reason why I have chosen this topic is because I have heard so much about serial killers, and I wanted to find out more about them. But one thing that I have already known about serial killers is that to be one you would have to kill 3 or more people. Also I knew that serial killers would most likely come from a mess up background and sometime that is what make them kill later on in life.
However shocking and unusual the ancient story of Gilgamesh may seem at first, it is actually the Archetypical Epic. It recounts the hero’s journey.
Gilgamesh was born in an unusual circumstance, he was born two-thirds divine and one-third human, also a king. “They called him, protector of the people, raging flood that destroys all defenses, two-thirds divine and one-third human” (Mitchell 71) This would be probably one of the most recognized traits that makes a story an archetypical epic.
I'm curious about faith healing and why people have strong beliefs in spiritual healing and are willing to take the chance. I read a Wikipedia article on faith healing and I read a book called The Tent by Gary Paulsen, which was about a boy and his father who scammed people using fake healing. They started a tent church in Texas and went around to several different towns fooling people for their money.
Chapter four starts with the whole neighborhood speaking about it. Like headline news on television, the whole neighborhood was teeming with people speculating opinions and excitement about Kino selling the pearl today. Pearl buyers are filled with excitement and pearl fishers take the day off in curiosity of who Kino will sell it to and how much and so on.
Something that I have been interested in learning more about has been the topic of suicide. I remember my mom and I talking about it when we found out that a really close friend of ours had committed suicide. At the moment I wasn't really paying attention to why people commit suicide and its results. Lately, the issue has caught my eye again. I know that many people feel that it is okay to commit suicide , and that it doesn't affect anybody. From what I have heard, it is most common in teens than in adults to commit suicide.
This is the last book I had left to read by John Green and I am glad I saved it for last because I love it, has to be my favorite from him. It's old, released in 2005, but its something that can be read through the years and still be great and different from other "growing up" books. Miles Halter lived in Florida with his parents and decided to go a boarding school in Alabama. Soon after arriving at Culver Creek, Miles meets his roommate, Chip "The Colonel" Martin. The Colonel soon provides Miles with his very own nickname: "Pudge," supposedly because Miles is tall and slender.
This book I read a few years back but at the time I couldn't really appreciate much of the novel because I was young and naive. I didn't have much perspective of life living as a teenager because I simply wasn't. There was certain things like committing suicide and the girl's reasoning that when I was younger and first read it didn't understand what the big deal was. Now that I read it and truthfully understood it, I enjoyed reading it.
Is abortion really the right thing to do? Is murdering a baby really worth living your life healthy? I say no, its not the right thing to do. Abortion should be illegal in the U.S because abortion is murder. Abortion has been around for many years and has been and still is a controversial issue. During abortion babies die, even if they are still embryos and/or fetuses. The procedure is stressful and dangerous, during the procedure; the mother may die or get severely scarred. To get an abortion, it costs a lot of money to have just ONE for one single baby or fetus.

The most important thing I’ve learned on my topic mostly deals with the characteristics of a serial killer and how research on both men and women serial killers explains common rituals and characteristics. I also find it important to explore societies fascinations with serial killers and how this affects the development of future serial killers. When I first began this research paper, I had a different topic. I was going to do it on a murder house in Iowa but then I realized that although this story was fascinating, there wasn’t enough information to intrigue me and others.
This week I read up to page 289 in "The Fault In Our Stars".
On page 1 of "The Fault In Our Stars," it says: "Whenever you read a cancer booklet or website or whatever, they always list depression among the side affects of cancer."
On December 21 2012, I wasn't preparing for anything to happen to the world, I was a a little nervous that people around the world would go crazy and there would be shootings or something but i didn't think the world was really going to end. Many people around the world, however, had been preparing for the end of the world. Clearly the world did not come to an end. Many people believed the world was doomed and there was going to be nothing after that day. The Mayan’s however were not prepping for a catastrophic event to occur. The were celebrating the beginning of the 14th baktun.
What really will happen when the world ends? It’s such an interesting topic to me because i want to know so much. There are endless possibilities of how and what will happen. There are so many theories like, zombies apocalypse, or jesus coming to the Earth. No one really knows what will happen. Thats what is so interesting to me, no one in the world can predict it. We all just wait and we will never know, when or how it will happen.

In the newspaper The Washington Times, Maureen Branch wrote, LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Look at Hollywood and Mental Health, in which she explains how putting more laws and restrictions on guns won't solve the problem of deaths of innocent, whom are killed by "mentally ill who roam our streets," mentioned in the letter.
In Emma Claire's opinion piece, "The Death Penalty," from www.teenlink.com, the author believes that the death penalty is wrong, and does not deter criminals and it doesn't, after looking at many statistics it is quite clear that it doesn't, in fact it seems to increase criminal activity. Furthermore, she goes on to explain that by doing this, we're no better than them, and usually the victims of what happened or loved ones of victims don't believe in such harsh justice.
My topic for my research paper is on John "Bonzo" Bonham. Bonham has been claimed to be the best drummer of all time, and I don't disagree in the slightest. He is a legend to rock'n'roll, and it's a miracle he was even born. His mother was in labor for 26 hours and baby John came out, ironically, with a beatless heart. With his fast right foot, natural talent and passion for rhythm, John was fought over to join different bands and artists such as Joe Cocker and Chris Farlowe.
In the Second & Third chapter of Tanya Savory book Abraham Lincoln “A Giant Among Presidents” from the The Townsend library, the author talks about Lincoln as a young boy and the obstacles him and family go through to survive and how Lincoln was growing up his personality.
“I will forgive you but I will not forget what happened”. Almost everyday you meet a new person. Every person has a different personality. You shouldn’t trust a person right away. You think you may know a person really well but you may not. They could have a bad past that they are hiding from you. It takes time to know a person really well. Also it takes time to trust a person really well.
The last thing you ever say to someone will be the least thing they ever remember about you. Your words will always count at the end. I never thought about what i could say until it was too late. I believe that last words are important and can’t be taken back.
Last words are the things that everybody takes time saying. They put a lot of thought into it and all of their heart. But what happens when its unexpected? Then you don’t get the chance to tell them everything on your mind before they go. Last words will always count in the end.
Mental strength is like lightning to a thunderstorm. It is very valuable in tough situations and in life, and as a result can be defined in many ways. In fact, one way I remember it as, is the ability to overcome hardships and pain, to grow from them and develop through them. Last year, in September I needed mental strength because something unexpected made everything turn around.
On October 28, 2012, news channels were overcome with the media talking all about the upcoming hurricane that was barreling towards the East Coast. After a weekend full of celebrations for the religious holiday Eid, I heard about it. My sister was really scared about it and urged my parents to go out and buy dry food because of the upcoming events that were to arrive later on in the day. My brothers and parents were constantly watching the news and I was actually excited for it. Throughout the whole week, I was constantly reading at home because there wasn't much to do.
