Book review

Chasing Brooklyn by Lisa Schroeder
Chasing brooklyn is a poetry novel about a teenage girl who lost her boyfriend in a tragic car accident. Her boyfriend's best friend was driving and couldn't handle the grief. He committed suicide by a drug overdose. The novel is also about the boyfriends brother Nico who is being haunted by his brother to help Brooklyn. Brooklyn is being haunted by her boyfriends best friend who overdosed. Brooklyn and Nico come together to do a triathlon and fall in love.
  I recommend Chasing Brooklyn to anyone who is ready for a tragic but suspenseful love story. This book will capture your heart and make you realize that in life the most important thing is love and happiness. It looks like a really long book but it is very hard to put down. I would say this book may be more like read by girls rather than guys but guys may also enjoy the read.

K'Naan

I chose the song just take a minute by K’naan because it is heart felt. K’naan grew up in a place where there was a lot of child soldiers and the song reflect Ishmael now and not how he was as a child soldier. I am so glad that he is not still a child soldier. 

Child Soldiers

Child soldiers are used everywhere and in some places it is normal. In America it is out of the norm, so when I hear of children being drugged and trained to be killing machines it breaks my heart.  It is not right that children are given drugs to kill. What happens is that they become addicted to the drugs and the only place they can find the drugs is when the kill for them. Many children grow up and that is all they know is to kill for food, drugs, clothing, and shelter. I hope that someday this will stop and children will grow up in a perfect world but that will not happen. I hate the fact that children are killing to survive. I wish there was some way we could change the way things works so the children that are soldiers can live as children.
