"Dirty Mouth, clean it up with Orbit gum"

I don't like when a book contains a lot of obscene language but I think it is necessary. I think that authors use obscene language to get their point across and in everyday life people use it. I don't think there is anything to stop it but if you don't like it then don't read books with a lot. 

Independent Reading Blog #1

For the independent reading project, I am reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. It will be the first time that I am reading it and so far it is better then the movie. I like how the chapters are not numbered and has a title. I think that I will enjoy this book because I enjoyed the movie but the book is much better. In the book it is very descriptive. 

Kite Fighting

Kite fighting have been pasted down from China to Indian and to Afghanistan over a 100 years ago. To the Afghani, kite fighting is a symbol of peace and hope. When the Talibans took over Afghanistan they banned kite fighting but now its back.  I think that Khaled Hosseini choose kite fighting as his the main focus because it is a big tradition there and it has such a big impact on the people. Also it brings the people together. I think that kite fighting is similar to baseball here because fathers and sons they play baseball together and bond and in the book Amir is trying to bond and build his relationship with his father. 

Free Write

My buddies and I was ordered to watch the area by the river in Afghanistan. The river was huge with big rocks and trees surrounding it. As we were at our post we were ambushed by the Talibans. We had a plan that my buddies would stay there behind the rock and I would run back to get some help. 

Walk the Line

I think that authors include disturbing , powerful, shocking events because it draws the readers attention and most likely the reader will remember the events better then the others. I think that the events are necessary because people remembers those kinds of things and it is a great way to get a point across. Society had played a role in this because the authors pulls disturbing, powerful events from the society. 

To Atone or Not to Atone

I think it atonement is possible but it depends on the other person if they would forgive you. When I turned sixteen, my friends mom took me to get another piercing in my ear but I knew my mom would allow it but I did it anyway. When my mom found out she was very disappointed at me for awhile but then she forgave me because she realized that it was my ear so I could do anything I want. 

Decisions...Decisions

Some things that influence ones choices is family, friends, morals. Your family influences you because your parents raised you to become a nice person so when you make your decisions your parents are gonna be in the back of your mind. Your friends influence you especially when your young or in high school because you would do what others are doing or you would want what others want. My choice to room at Temple impacted my parents because they would want me to stay home.
