Book review

O.K so I read the book Glass by Ellen Hopkins. It was an amazing book. I definitely recommend this book. Both guys and girls can read it but I think girls would enjoy it more. It is about a woman named Kristina, she had just had a baby and is trying to recover from her drug addiction to Crystal-Meth. Her life was going pretty well until the monster starts to haunt her again. Then her life is back to the vortex it was before her son Hunter was born. Things go from bed to worse when Kristina came home the last time high. Her mom kicks her out and now she is going to move in with her boy-toy’s cousin Brad and be a nanny. Living there was a twenty four hour party with her new friend and the monster. When Brad’s wife moves back home Kristina now moves into a motel. Soon after she finds trouble and her life is in a vortex again... Although this book looks long, it is a very fast read. It is told in poems and I recommend it to people that like to read about drugs and other shenanigans of that sort.

Review

This year has been amazing we went from crazy last year to mellow and better behaved this year and next year will be even better. As a class we grew and we will continue growing. I used the word impulse because last year we were impulsive separately and this year we were impulsive together as a whole. I can’t wait for next year.

Impulse

Impulse by Ellen Hopkins

This book is about three teens who have very different lives. First of all the are all sent to this Rehab clinic/camp because they all try to kill them selves. The book shows the journey these three teens overcome while in this clinic/ camp. Vanessa is one of the charters who you will meet. She is beautiful and smart but her family history haunts her until she cuts a little too deep and her little brother finds her. Tony has had it rough too. He is a gay teen that grew up without a dad and a mother who could care less, and the pills and boos got a little too out of hand. Conner has what some people think is I perfect life, but to him he is pushed over the edge with all the pressure. He copes when he finds emma but when she is gone it all goes down hill from there. I loved how connected the three got during the book. Three opposite people with a bond that will last forever, or for a while anyway. I also loved how I related to each of them in away I felt like I was with them in the book like a fly on the wall. I recommend this book to Mature readers. It is a very intense book. It is for people who like realistic fiction. Impulse looks long but the poems are very short so it is a really fast read. The book is told in poems which is very cool. This book was very Intense but heart warming.

Born Accident

Born Accident

I was born on accident my mom was 18 and my dad was 19. I was told that I caused my parents to get married. Through my life I have continued to be accidental.When I was little I was accident prone. I know this because of the huge scar on my leg that only I notice. That scar is there because when I was little my mom was cooking mac and cheese and I was on the counter watching her cook. She bent down to get a oven mitt to lift the very hot pan. Before she had the chance to stand back up I dumped the hot mac and cheese all over my legs. My dad picked me up and put me on a cold bath but the burns were so bad that they had to take me to the hospital and I had to have skin grafts and to this day I still have that huge scar on my leg that only I can notice. That is why I was born accident.

Temptation of Time and Love

Temptation of Time and Love

The tattoo that I wish I had looks like an old fashioned pocket watch with a vine plant growing up it and under that I the last name Atwood and it the center will be a single rose bud. The whole thing will be pink and black. I want this because the clock means the time of life. The vine means my growing love, and the last name Atwood for my step dad Jeff who is forever changed my life. On the picture of the tattoo there is a scull and cross bones that I do not want on my tattoo and I want the words changes to Atwood.
