I am young and confused
I wonder if aliens are watching me on TV
I hear people talking
I see streets of gold
I want to become an OB GYN
I am a little out of this world

I pretend that I’m always happy
I feel like I’m someone else
I touch water
I worry about losing my friends
I cry when there is too much to handle
I am young and confused

I understand I can’t always get what I want
I say everything happens for a reason
I dream about life
I try to be positive all the time
I hope my dreams and goals come to pass
I am young and confused

My gravity phone is something

You and I can use.

Gravity is the name of my phone.

Really useful

At times like work, or play.

Various things to do,

I can call,

Text, or use my

Yahoo email with my phone.

Picture taking , or playing games is good too.

Having it is an

Opportunity  to show my parents i’m responsible.

Neverending unlimited text messaging

Everywhere I go.

Goodmorning,

Brush my teeth

get dressed,

out the door.

It’s school time,

There’s the bus,

There’s the train,

I’m at school.

Doing all of my work,

Cause I gotta get them credits.

No time to chill,

I gotta get it done.

There goes the bell!

It’s lunch time,

Time to hit those freebees,

Greet all my friends,

And get ready for algebra!

There’s the last bell,

Time to go,

There’s the train,

There’s the Bus.

It’s Homework time.

Physical Science, Algebra,

American History, and English.

Can’t go to bed unless I finish.

There’s my sheets,

There’s my pillow,

It’s bedtime.

It was my 1st communion, I was feeling so special in my white dress, and everyone’s eyes on me! I felt so special, had my hair done, nails done, everything done. I went to the church to meet all of the other kids getting ready for their 1st communion. I walked in the room, and everyone turned my direction and called my name, took pictures with me and everything, I felt awesome. After my 1st communion, it’s tradition to throw a party the DAY of your 1st communion, so I got a NEW dress and I was dolled up in pink to match the decorations and everything! I was at the party having a great time, until… I had to leave, my mom was getting angry because it was a sunday and I had school the next day, my dad was angry because the party was for me, and my mom was spazzin bout school. No one wanted to hear me, or my side of the story. No one asked if I was ready to leave of  NOTHING. It was very sad, people weren’t even finished eating, I had JUST cut the cake, and I wasn’t going to be at a party thrown for ME! That spoiled my night, I cried myself to sleep, but everything was all good the next day when I got to tell my friends about My 1st Communion.

Why do you weep when you pray?

I don’t know

Why do you pray?

Why DID I pray?

Whydid I live ?

Why did I breathe?

I DON’T KNOW

Man Questions God

And God answers

We don’t understand his answers.

We CAN’T,

They come from the depths of the soul

They stay there until death.

Night

Elie Wiesel

The author’s purpose for writing this book was to inform the reader about something true that happened to him. He was telling the reader how he felt about everything, and making sure the reader was hooked onto his stories.

The intended audience for reading night would be teens and up, also Coming of age, and middle aged people.

Rate: 9

A minor character in the book who had major importance was Moshe The Beadle. He was important because it shows how he experienced what Elie hasn’t experienced yet, and he came to tell his stores and no one wanted to believe what he was saying. Moshe was also teaching Elie things about the Cabbala. He wasn’t throughout the story, he was only in the beginning.

Your Best Friend’s Boyfriend

J.E. Bright

The author’s purpose in writing this book was to entertain the reader by letting the reader decide what happens. In this book, it has a lot of pages where you end up in a situation, and you can decide what happens next by choosing from a list, what page you should go to next.

The intended  audience of this book is more likely to be a female, teens, who are interested in romance, and wants be entertained.

Rate: 10

Above I rated this book. I gave this book that score because I was so much interested in the book. I never wanted to put it down, because I never read a book that lets you tell how the story ends. At the beginning you read one chapter, then at the end, it asks you what should happen next, and it’ll send you to a certain page, and the story goes the way you want it to! It was a really good book, and I think 10 is what most people my age would give it!

1. Elie describes himself as determined and dedicated to learning about the Cabbala. He was looking for a master to guide him in his studies. He found Moshe the Beadle to help him.

2. Moshe the Beadle was a man of all work at a Hasidia Synagogue. He was poor, and lived humbly. He was a past master in the art of making himself insignificant of seeming invisible.

3. The town did not like to hear Moshe’s stories because they thought he just wanted them to feel sorry for him. The thought he wanted them to feel pity.

4. I think Elie Wiesel begins Night with Moshe the Beadle because he wasn’t to inform people about how he learned about all those stories. To kind of give the reader an example of his background.

5. The German soldiers slowly took over Sighet by being nice to the Jews, and being able to stay into their home, and they were making small changes to their town. Until later, the Germans began to make big changes.

6. Elie’s family was separated when they were in the crowd of many people, and an SS noncommissioned officer told the men to move to the left, and the woman to the right. So he parted from his mom and his sister.

7. I think the Germans take away the inmates personal belongings so that they can keep it for themselves. They cut their hair because they want everyone to be bald, to be recognized. They get a tattoo with a number on their arms because they are not going to be using names anymore, they will be called by their numbers.

8. For a night to be turned into “one long night” means that you don’t know what time it is, everything keeps happening so quick, and the night just doesn’t seem to end.

9. My personal reaction to this novel so far is that I’m really anxious to read the ending. I want to know everything that happened to Elie, and his father. Will he ever see his mother again? Will everything go back to normal? These are questions I want to be answered. It’s sad how the inmates are being treated, and it’s hard to read without being interested because it’s a great book.

If this story was told my Mathilde’s husband, the reader wouldn’t kn0w how Mathilde felt, they wouldn’t know her past, and how she was before she married to a minor clerk. The reader would know how Mathilde’s husband felt about giving Mathilde the money for her dress, we would know how he felt when he’d been struggling with Mathilde to pay off the money that they owed. The whole story would’ve been different.

If Mathilde herself told this story, it wouldn’t have been much different, because it was told in a third-person point of view where the narrator knew what Mathilde was thinking, and how she felt, and that told the reader everything about Mathilde. So the story might not have been different if it was told by Mathilde herself.

This story is a very nice story. This story will appeal to high school students because it shows how two men hated each other at the start. But seeing they were trapped together, and had nothing else to do, they had to reconcile. They ended the quarrel between each other, and it really caught my attention. This story compares in appeal with a book and a movie: “Your bestfriend’s boyfriend by J.E. Bright” and “Bride Wars directed by Gary Winick.” They all talk about people that are having a problem with another person, and they have to reconcile to make peace between each other.

I rate The Interlopers a 4 . It left me in suspense, trying to figure out what happened to the two main characters.
