book review on speak

Speak is a cleaver and an ironic title for a story in which the main character chooses not to speak.  Speak is written in the mind of an introverted teenage girl, like excerpts from her personal diary during her miserable freshman year of high school. Instead of blending in and finding her way through high school. She withdraws and secludes herself from the other students. She calls herself an "outcast." Melinda is so desperate to hide from the world; she turns an old janitor's closet at the high school into her safe haven. She cuts classes to hide in her closet. How lonely could this teenage girl be? All of these characteristics are common in assault victims. Melinda has been seriously disturbed by something traumatic and doesn't feel comfortable talking about it, nor does she really trust anyone. Most teenagers wouldnt call the cops in an amazing party if something really bad didnt happen, but then again some teens dont tell most people about tramatic things that happen to them because the are afraid that they will be treated different. So instead of telling people what truely happened at that party she holds it in and deals with being an outcast and having no one to talk to or any clique to join. At the end of the story a shocking truth comes out and she tells her secret she has been holding in since that day of the party. I would recommend this book to anyone with a heart because it will touch you so deeply expecially if you have a similar story.

Pleasant Plains, Arkansas

I am from a little hick town called Pleasant Plains. They are all about farming and living the country life. When i'm in Pleasant Plains I see fields and barns, I smell dirt and I feel at home and comfortable. People in Pleasant Plains are all usually famers and work on farms caring for animals and living the great country life. When I lived in Pleasant Plains I worked on farms with horses, donkeys, and lots of other animals, and I never complained because it was very fun and everytime I go back to Pleasant Plains I go and work on a farm with my grandpa. When im in Pleasant Plains I go to the farm and play with the horses, I love horses, and its so cool how when I pull up the donkey will start breeing because he knows that its me in the truck. Pleasant Plains is where I call home and always will.

Advertisement Analysis

Do you believe in animal abuse? Do you hurt little defenceless animals? The little piglets in this abuse on animals ad. is representing animal abuse in the farming world today.

The purpose of this ad. on animal abuse is to help this organization stop the  cruelty of animal abuse. They want people to donate money so they can protect animals from the harmful things that some people do.

The tone of this abuse ad. is pitful, because anyone who would hurt a poor defenceless animals is a horrible person. Another tone for this ad. would be sentimental because someone is actually taking the time to save these poor animals from anymore abuse.

So therefore this ad. about animal abuse is pitiful and sentimental and people should help to end animal abuse. Do it for the little piglets!

Henry vs. Forrest

This may just be my opinion but I think Forest is a way better warrior then Henry because Forest saved people and Henry was scared of war.

In The Red Badge of Courage, Henry Fleming, known as "young soldier", he was in the Union Army or Civil War as some people call it. He was untested in battle, had questions of his own courage and encounters with hard times about the experiecce of war. Within a few days at war he changes from a tempestuous and immature adolescent to a war-weary adult. Henry Fleming ran from battle because he was scared and thought he wasn't ready for such a challenge. The only reason he went into war was to make himself look stronger and to impress the girls.

In the movie, Forest Gump, he was prepared for the troubles and challenges of the war. Forest fought in the Vietnam War, he followed his orders well without distractions. He didnt run from war he ran for war, because he was prepared for the commitment of the war. Forest got the Medals of Honor forbid bravery in Vietnam, because he rescued a bunch of the other soilders including his luetenant even though he only went back for Bubba but out of the goodness of his heart he helped the others.

Even after all the research and information on both of these soldiers I still think that Forest Gump is a braver and better soldier than Henry Fleming ever could be. In that comment it seems that they both should and will be remember for their brave acts in wars.

Wounded Warrior Project

The Wounded Warrior Project is an organization  of people who came together to help our wounded soilders. The Wounded Warrior Project began in 2000 in Roanoke, Virginia by John Melia. They do this thing where you buy a backpack full of different stuff for almost one-hundred dollors and you get to send it to any soilder you want. This organization is a good thing in our world to help show that we do care about what is happening over there, where some peoples loved ones are being killed and hurt very bad. I, for one, think that everyone should take a part in this great thing, to show that we care.

My book review: Clean by Amy Reed

In this book five teenagers get hooked on drugs and it ruins their life but their parents send them to this drug rehab place where they become sober and end up being friends. They learn alot about eachother and become real close. Toward the end you start to see that they really do care and want to be better people and move forward in live. I really can't relate to this book but I did enjoy reading it, I guess just seeing people overcome a huge problem made the book more interesting.I recommend this book to anyone loves to see people overcome things.

War is...

War is depressing, because people are dieing.
War is murdering, its just the same as killing someone except you dont go to prison.
War is sad, because we are losing our loved ones.
War is a waste of time and money, the time and money we use fighting a war could be used to help us improve.
War is unpeaceful, because people are fighting and killing one another.
War is survival of the fittest, only the strongest will survive.
War is changing, it makes a big impact on our lives.
War is taking, it is taking our loved ones and killing them for something that might not even matter in a few years.
War is standing, standing up for something strong.
War is suffering, it makes familys and the people fighting hurt.
