                                                           Dear Romeo
       Listen I know that your having a rough time lately but I have something's to tell you. You have a lot of emotions flying around and it's getting me confused and I can't really understand what you feel. Look the thing between you and Juliet isn't going to work out well because she's a capulet and your a montague. Not trying to be mean but you only met her for like a day and how do you have feelings for her all ready. Oh and that guy tybalt is really passed off at you and watch your back cause he's coming and you might want to prepare. Make sure you have your crew with you because he's bringing his. Plus don't try to make peace with him because that would just get yourself killed.

           The living was a book that I thought was going to be horrible but after reading a couple of pages I found it totally interesting. The main character of the book Shy is a character that can know when something is wrong but when something else happens he gets confused. Shy has suffered a lot and he is still stuffing because of his family. His family isn't in good shape because he only has a mother and a nephew. He lost his grandma to a disease called Romero,and his dad left him before he was born.

           Shy goes through a lot in this book and surprisingly he has survived the impossible. He losses friends and makes new ones along the way of survival. While shy is on the cruise he is told that someone on the ship is looking for him and looks like he works for the CIA. A few months ago Shy saw a guy trying to commit suicide. So he coughs the guy in mid air and tried to pull him up, but the guy was to heavy and he fell to his death.

            The theme of this book is saying never give up when hope seems lost. This message can be put in many ways. In life matters, sports matters, and even job matters. In the book there were so many opportunities for Shy to give up but he didn't,

The Bully

                                                                   The Bully

                     Have you ever been bullied before? Most likely the answer to this is yes because everybody has been bullied before. Even Darrell the main character of this story. He just moved into a new neighborhood and hopes he can pull through because he left his friends behind in Philadelphia. When he thinks that it might not be so bad living in California until he meets somebody named Tyray who is way bigger than him and looks like a criminal.

                     Tyray introduces himself but when Darrell tries to tell him that he has to go Tyray just says that he's not going anywhere until he is done talking. That's when Darrell gets punched in the stomach and gets robbed of his money. The next day he goes to his new high school and finds out that Tyray also goes to Blu ford high school. He really doesn't want Tyray to notice that he is in his class. But he eventually finds Darrell and starts to pick on him in class. 

                     To me i know how it feels trying to get away from a bully because i have been bullied before and it was hell. It was really hard until i found the courage to stand up and fight back. People say that you should report it to a teacher but we all know that it just makes everything worse because the bully would just come back more angrier and hurt you even more. I didn't tell the teachers anything because I knew that he would just beat me up. Just like Darrell he doesn't tell the teachers what's going on because he was threatened.

                     People should tell a teacher but I think that sometime the victims should be able to go up to a bully and punch them in the face. This comes to show that you are tired of being picked on and hopefully scared the bully away.
