Watch The Sky - Book Review

Before Jory's stepfather Caleb came along they used to live in the city, just Jory and his mom. His mom worked in a crummy coffee shop. She had met Caleb there when he defended her. They moved to an old farmhouse. They had found Jory's little sister in the fields eating pumpkins. Ansel, Jory's little brother, was born there. 

 Jory Birch has no ordinary life. He has a life full of secrets, danger, silent sister and signs.  Now he had to go to school too. Jory had always been home schooled by his mother.  Kit was a secret. So were the signs. School was school and home was home. Jory couldn't let them mix. Friends were school and family was home. 

 Signs were anywhere and everywhere, Caleb - Jory's stepfather says. Signs. They could be anywhere. They could be anything. They mean everything. Red leaves in the springtime. Pages torn from a library book. All the fishes in an aquarium facing the same way. A cracked egg with twin yolks. All signs. 

 Caleb told Jory not to trust things he learned from school. The officials change things so we don't know the truth. Officials. Caleb was always talking about them. They could take Kit away. Tear the family apart. That's why Kit's a secret.

 This book is amazing! I would honestly recommend it to anyone and everyone. The end is so unexpected and I would have never thought that would happen. One thing that I didn't really like was that the story was a little rushed at the end. Otherwise, it's actually an amazing book.

    Why to many spoilers so fix that,
    Not much details hat you think about the book,
    Good definition on the main character.

    I think this is great. But I think you should talk more about what you think. I like that the writing is descriptive and has good punctuation and grammar.

    I really liked how you had great punctuation and grammar. I wish you had read through you post before posting it because some of the sentences were way to short. Also you should write more about what you think about the book. But overall it was good

    I loved your connections, but just try your best to not really spoil the story. I know that you aren't supposed to ruin the story in a book blog, but I felt like it was a little more than confusing.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Meltdown - Book Review

What will Greg Heffley do when it's a snow day? He'll have a neighbourhood snow battle, that's right. Greg Heffley lives on Surrey Street and it's quite different from your average neighbourhood. On Surrey Street, you're either a hill kid or a non-hill kid. Greg and the hill kids can't stand the non-hill kids. In the summer the kids at the bottom never let the hill kids play down there. But in the winter the tables are turned. The hill is amazing for sledding and all the non-hill kids want in. Upper Surrey Street ambushing lower Surrey Street kids If you really want to enjoy and understand this book you have to know your Wimpy. In this book, there are a lot of callbacks to things that happen in previous books. So, to understand this book read a couple of the older Wimpy Kid books.  So I really loved this book. In fact, I really love the entire series. I would recommend this book to ages 10-12. Something I would love to see is this book in movie for

TIGER - Movie Review

Pardeep Singh Nagra was a boxer. Well, more than that actually.  Tiger is a movie based on the true story of Pardeep Singh Nagra. Pardeep was born and raised in Canada. He faced lots of discrimination because of his faith and culture. He was raised by his aunt and uncle because his parents moved to India.  In the movie, Pardeep had lots of rage and anger. That's how he became a boxer. He let out all his anger with each punch. The boxing club that he attended was filled with racists. He got better day by day with practise and support from his coach and soon from his fellow boxers. The problem soon arose. The ABC (American Boxing Commission) didn't approve of Pardeep boxing.  It was because he had a beard and the rules say the boxer must be clean shaved. Pardeep and his lawyer fought until he was allowed to box. But did it work? Watch the movie to find out! I can relate to the movie. I have witnessed and faced racism countless times. I think that what Pardeep did r

Meeting a Member of The LGBTQ Community May Not Be Possible In The United States

Gender is how society defines if your a boy or a girl. It’s different from being biologically male or female. But in the United States, it might soon mean the same. On Monday, October 22nd the Trump administration wants to change the definition of gender. Lots of people spoke out to this memo, including Diana Flynn who is one of the leaders at Lambda Legal. Lambda Legal is a group which fights for LGBTQ rights.  "For years, courts across the country have recognized that discriminating against someone because they are transgender is a form of sex discrimination," Flynn says. Many other people also spoke out at a news event. Mara Keisling, a leader of the National Center for Transgender Rights, spoke with many other activists. She says that she feels like she’s in danger because of this memo. There have been many other attacks on the transgender community. They have been refused from joining the army, donate blood and in some cases buy a cake. The government threw out a
