Our first quarter in English 11 with Mrs. Huff has been pretty good kind of crazy at times but from what I have seen of it really fun. I've grown as a reader so far this year in a strong sense, now in my spare time instead of texting on my cell phone or watching TV. I read. This 1st quarter my vocabulary has grown and I have learned many writing techniques which I now use in more classes than just English. I have enjoyed being in Mrs. Huff's class this year so far and look forward to the rest.

She Said Yes
She Said Yes: The Unlikely Martyrdom of Cassie Bernall by Misty BernallMy review
rating: 5 of 5 starsI think the book She Said Yes by Misty Bernall is a very insprirational story about everyday pressures by peers and family. It starts out during the 90's from the point of view of the mother of Cassie Bernall as she gets caught up in depression and with the wrong group of friends. This shows how any person can find the right friends and the way to God's love. This is truly tested for Cassie as her life is taken by two rampaging killers who question Cassie's love for God. Now she is known as one of the victims of the Columbine shooting. This small town of Columbine, Colorado has never been faced with such horror. Now the town can show how to overcome the loss of loved ones and be proud of those who stand with their morals. Once you read this book it will change your life and see how being in the Lord's love can make you to be the best person you can possibly be. Read this book and see if you agree.

Twilight
Twilight by Stephenie MeyerMy review
rating: 5 of 5 starsTwilight by Stephenie Meyer, is told by a 17 year old girl named Bella Swan, who moves from Phoenix to the small town of Forks, Washington, to live with her dad for the rest of high school. In Forks she meets Edward Cullen and his family, who possess an other-worldly and irresistible beauty and grace to which Bella is drawn. Twilight is the tale of Bella and Edward's evolving relationship, brimming with standard teenage drama alongside the unexpected, because Edward and his family are vampires. These undead friends have chosen to deny their urge to drink human blood, instead slaking their thirst with the blood of animals. Bella soon finds out that not all vampires in her life are constrained by such scruples.
The book includes treatment of sexuality and morality. Although there's plenty of yearning and sensuality, there is no sex, drinking, or drug use. Edward refuses Bella's desire to be turned into a vampire herself, on grounds that it wouldn't be the right thing to do.
Twilight is an easy and enjoyable read. Its in first-person viewpoint which keeps you wanting more.Its unique and entertaining. Twilight will almost certainly appeal to teenage girls and many women of all ages. It's sure to make readers eager to follow Stepenie Meyers, as she unraveles the story of Bella and Edward through three more novels.

I love technology. But, I think we'd all be better if--more often--we'd reach for a book rather than the remote, the Gameboy, the phone, the computer. Keep reading!
