wind torn tree

^^ by vincent van gogh

wind
blown
tree
standing there
all torn
and worn
dead
nothing left
to do
just sit
there
and wait.

my papa's waltz .

My papa's waltz
by; theodore Roethke 




The whiskey on your breath
Could make a small boy dizzy;
But I hung on like death:
Such waltzing was not easy.

We romped until the pans
Slid from the kitchen shelf;
My mother's countenance
Could not unfrown itself.

The hand that held my wrist
Was battered on one knuckle;
At every step you missed
My right ear scraped a buckle.

You beat time on my head
With a palm caked hard by dirt,
Then waltzed me off to bed
Still clinging to your shirt.

exit here.

I was kinda looking forward to writing a blog post on this book, I just started reading the book called Exit Here yesterday, and I already am beyond into it. It gives you like a slap in the face of what reality is past high school, and like what happens to those kids that are the gods in school.  There's this boy named travis and he was the big shot in school and he had girls falling head over heels for him then BAM he's a druggie like it shows you how people change and goes inside their heads. In this bok there are friends and they each .



Also , when he came home from getting kicked out of college he had to go to dinner with his family and met this girl who was the waitress and I think she's going to turn out to be a huge character in this book, because there's always that character that inspires the character and makes them change or helps them .  I also think that the father is going to be a problem in the story and there's gonna be a problem with him and his father some where along in this book. 



There's not too much more I can say about this book right about now , but Im completely looking forward to reading more of this book and writing an amazing blog post all about it !! (: 

the totally true blogpost of a student


**sorry I'm doing this one right now it got saved onto my drafts instead of publishing :( **


the absolutely true diary of a part time indian, is probably the funniest book I have ever read. I don't exactly "like" reading but WOW i really liked this book it made me looked forward to reading it. 

I think the reason why I liked this book so much is I can relate to how this kid thought and felt, I mean he doesn't like school and he makes a joke out of everything to see the better side of it.  And some of the things he did cracked me up like people looked at me as if i was crazy laughing at myself. 

Every kid when they go to a new school never knows what goes on and its like a whole new world and some people no matter where they are and no matter how hard they try are just not meant to fit in and thats junior.  Its like a race to the finish line trying to fit and and have that thrown as the "cool kid" or maybe even "the bully"  and some people give into the push of being those kinds of people like junior, he didn't fit in on the rez and he ran from it to a new school in a different town to start over but its just not as easy as he wants it to be.
