My life-

My life is hectic. Always one thing to another. I like it though. I'm almost never bored,but I'm always tired.

Friday night I went to a lockin with rob. It was tons of fun. We played basketball, wall ball. We went bowling we had church services and we hung out with a bunch of people. It was tons of fun!

I would do this again millions if times I already miss it now!

How to save a life- the fray
This is an amazing song. It's upbeat catchy and has a good piano tune(finally).


However I think the lyric aren't that great. It does tell a story,but it's very plain. There's no real crazy things it's just basic like my writing.

So this leads me to believe the fray may not be good writers,but they wrote over my head which has great writing so I'm wrong. I guess there just normal people.

I think this song is for radio not for writing.

Vocab

Sanctus- a Christian hymn.
Apathy-Absence of suppression.

Over my head the Fray

This is one of my favorite songs. It has great lyrics.I think that the Fray wrote this song when they were in a fight with somebody because it's all about an argument.the way they tell it is also great and the music the acoustic under sound of a guitar slowly growing with drums.This is an amazing song.

Readers response

Helmuth discovers his dad Hugo is a hardcore Nazi and is killing Jews. He isn't liking his dad at all anymore,he thinks he's garbage and mutti shouldn't have married him.

I am loving this book. To me it shows equality of life and how everybody should be equal.I also think that mutti married Hugo because they want to keep her kids safe.

My predictions are that Helmuth goes to jail because Hugo get drunk one night (which he does a lot, what an amazing father! :/ )when he sticks up for the Jews like he wants to.

readers response

Helmuth adn his friend go down to the police station and gets a case. They are now on the hunt for a murderer.

readers response

Helmuth is forced into joining the Hitler youth and does not want to do it at all.He also gets a high mark on his essay he had to take for stating his own opinion.

Well it's good that he got a high mark, but it's horrible he has to join the Hitler youth.

readers response

Helmuth sarts to notice that more signs about jews are getting put up. He also sees a bad future with Hitler and how he hates the jews.

Helmuth seems like a smart guy. He know Hitler is up to no good.I would hope other people would think that because Hitler seems horrible!

readers response

Helmuth gets in a huge fight with Hugo because he disobeyed his teacher by saying somthing smarter than the teacher.He also has to write a 500 page report on how Hitler is wonderful.

I would puke on my teacher if this happened,that would be horrible.

I predict he will stand up for the jews and get in trouble.

Wow. One essay can make or break you getting into a school.
A husband and  a wife have kids going to college and they are going to all of these orientaions. All of the  orientations state that a personal narritave essay can be almost as big as your SAT score.

honestly I disagree with theis statement.It should be a big part but not as big beacause if your really big into math why would you need to be good at writing. Iknow people disagree,but thats my take on it
