A BOOK EVERYONE SHOULD READ: My Sister's Keeper

My Sister's Keeper

by: Jodi Picoult

This book is about a girl, named Anna, who was basically conceived by her parents to save her sister's, Kate, life. Her sister has leukemia. Anna has been providing her sister with the everything she needs to fight the leukemia, things like blood cells and bone marrow. Soon Anna's parents want her to give her sister Kate a kidney. That is when Anna draws the line and decides to hire an attorney to sue her parents and tries to get emancipated. The story has a very unexpecting ending that results in the death of one of the characters but just in case you want to read it i'm not going to ruin it for you. I think you should read this story because in a way it let's you know that you can stand up for yourself in ANY kind of situation. Plus it's alot of drama..something you'd see on lifetime mabe. Lol I read thios book and middle school and really enjoyed it, i'm sure you would too. =] BE EASY!

Reader's Response: The BLack Cat

POE...

The Black Cat. This story is about this man who is married to this woman. They both adored animals and had many pets. They had birds, fishes, a dog, a rabbit, a monkey, and a black cat. The black cat plays an important role. The man's wife would always tell him that all black cats were witches., but the black cat was the man's favorite pet. The cat would follow the man all around the house. The friendship between the man and the cat lasted a long time until the man became an alcoholic. His drinking made him more moody and irritated every passing day. The man started to treat his pet very badly, except for the black cat.The cat noticed the man's personality changes. So the cat started to stay clear of him. That angered the man very much. He started abusing the cat. The cat bit him and the man got madder so he pulled out a knife. He then used the night to stab the cat in the throat and to remove one of it's eyeballs. The next day the man felt guilty, although the cat had recovered. Every time the man came around the cat would run away in fear. Then the man decided to hang the cat from a tree. The man was relieved that he wouldn't have to put up wit the cat anymore. But something horrible happened. The man's house caught on fire. Him and his wife managed to escape though. When the fire was out he returned to see what was left. To his surprise he saw on his wall a figure of a huge cat wit a rope its neck on a white surface. Since the man';s house had burned he he had to find somewhere else to for him and his wife to live. They found somewhere. At this house the man found another black cat, very similar to the first one except it had a white spot on it's stomach. His wife adored the new cat. Eventually the man started to dislike the cat just like the one before it. One day he attempted to kill the cat. The wife tried to stop him but it didn't work, instead he accidentally struck his wife. She died. After that the cat was no where to be found. The man put his wife's dead body in the wall of their home. When the police came to investigate the man thought he'd be safe because there was no way they'd be able to find his wife dead body. But he was wrong. The police were about to leave until they heard meowing coming from behind the wall. They tore the wall down and found the black cat along with the man's dead wife.

The main character is a man who seemed to be very normal. He was a married man who loved animals (so it seemed). Until he let alcohol get the best of him. After becoming an alcoholic the man became very irritated by such a small thing like cat. He eventually turned totally insane. He killed his pet cat and eventually tried to kill another. In the process he killed his beloved wife and the cat disappears. The cat eventually becomes responsible for his arrest. Good kitty.! =]

I'd cast Johnny Depp as the man in this story because he always portrays his characters so well. Especially the crazy ones [like in his movie "Secret Window"]. As his wife I'd cast Nicole Kidman because for some reason I picture his wife being kinda pale which Kidman is. Plus she's a great actress.

A Word that Defines Me

The word that defines me best is: ME.

[Me: refers to the speaker or writer]

I couldn't pick just one word to describe me because i don't think it'd get the point across.

For example I could say "funny" describes me,

but it wouldn't let you know that I'm serious when i have to be.

On the other hand ME includes every aspect of my personality.

ME is all i strive to be and want to be.

[Lol I jope that didnn't sound corny]

BE EASY.! =]

Today in Math

NOTE: this did not happen today, but it happened when we got this assignment and i just had to write about it.!

Sooo Zirpoli had us watch that "Energy Savers" movie for our make-up day caused by the snow day. [the class got drinks and pizza. which i didn't get any of Lol] And it was oh-sooo boring to me. The people were blah. This one dude even said,as Devin pointed out, that the dude called AFRICA a COUNTRY. Since when has that LARGE piece of land that sits under Asia [hmm maybe he thinks that is a country too..lol] a country? It's news to me. Lol Anyways another highlight from that day was Mr. Zirpoli his self falling asleep.! Yess..his head was fallin' back and everything. It was HILARIOUS. That just shows how boring that movie really was. Probably the funniest day in Zirpoli's 7th per. Be Easy.! =]
