I chose this poem by Molly smith because I really though tit was deep and I love how she compared things in her poem like how she compared the poem to the dance , I really thought it was amazing. Her poem is really detailed and it makes you really think and i just thought it was really good (:

wow , wow , wow !! I absolutely love this blog post, she really went in depth with everything she was talking about and it was just an amazing post and I absolutely loved it , thats why I chose it as a mentor.
I also chose this blog post as a mentor because she says "Have you ever seen someone in a crowd, and wanted to get to know them? Well that happens to me all the time, but now that I am reading Youth In Revolt I start thinking of everyone I don't know fully as a dirty, horrible liar." I think in just this small couple of sentences it basically can describe the whole book/ movie and now I REALLY want to read/ see it! (:

what an amazing blog post ! I chose this as a mentor blog post because it relates to what's going through my mind when I'm reading a book like what if they hadn't done this? and what if about everything and it really helps me connect with what he's trying to say. I also thought i t was really cool how he compared the things that were happening in this book to memories from when he was little it helped me to like take his blog post more serious and it also made me slightly think deeper when i was reading this. :)

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.

Time to dream..
Can you spell A-M-A-Z-I-N- G ????
well, thats the definition of the book blue is for Nightmares!
Reading Blue is for nightmares made me think do our dreams really have a meaning? In this book Stacey brown has terrifying nightmares about stalker with no face, and people dying, but the scariest part is that its all really happening.
Your never too old to have nightmares. Can you imagine having horrible dreams where someone is out to get you, but they have no face ? Can you imagine them coming true? well thats the case for stacey brown. I mean c'mon lets face it, we all have nightmares sometimes, but its not that often when we have dreams like Stacey. Imagine seeing people dying not just people, how about your best friend, or maybe the kid that sits near you in class. Would you try and help them?
Secrets out!stacey brown pee's the bed! Not only is it freaky she has horrifying dreams but she wets the bed ? I think its a sign I think as long as all of this is going on the wetting the bed will continue, something like that just doesn't start happening to somebody.

Imagine a faceless man handing you a bouquet of flowers, but not just any flowers lilies , the flower of death. Each lily represents the time the person has left or if the killer is on to the next one. Imagine a faceless man handing you a bouquet of flowers, but not just any flowers

final body of christopher creed.
I loooovveeedddd the ending of this book!
I love how they twisted it around so that it wasn't creed who he found it was someone else. I remember the mom telling Torey about the kid she knew when she was his age that ran away when he was the same age for similar reasons and they never found the kids body, and when he fell into the whole where he found the body it was so rotted from the fumes of all the other old rotting dead bodies, that you couldn't even tell who the person was because of all the decay and fumes. So of course he would have assumed it was creed.
I personally think its creed's moms fault of why he disappeared because of the way she acted with him. Chris Creed's little brother said that the mom was crazy and she gave him almost no freedom, chris had to be in really early , the mom picked out his clothes for him, and everything a mom should do for an eight year old. Even her own son knows she's crazy. I think her other son figured the mom would go crazy if she found out where chris' diary was because he knew she would point fingers at every person that was mentioned in that diary and like she was already doing make up insane stories in her head, and force herself to believe it so that she wouldn't have to believe she had anything to do with what happened.
I think the police wasted so much time listening to what the mom said instead of Torey, and they all pointed fingers at an innocent kid named bo , because he had a record of being bad in other situations. I thought it as wrong to use it against him and to assume that he was the one who killed him.
I also hate all of Torey's friends they all disguist me they made fun of a kid that possibly killed himself , I didnt understand what ws so funny about that and they made it seem like it was all a big joke, meanwhile someone's life was falling apart, it just made me sick. I also didnt think it was right for Torey's girlfriend to just assume everything she took no time to listen to what he had to say, and she didnt take into any consideration of anything he said, felt, or did.
