Diary of a Wimpy Kid

Hey bloggers,
So this is my last post. I hope you enjoy it(: I will be posting on the book Diary of a Wimpy Kid. I have read this book before a few times and the last time I read it was a few days ago. I know this book was meant for like younger kids or something. (Well I assume cause my cousins in like 3rd grade like the book too.) I may be an embarrassing child who doesn't read to my full ability or something like that, but I'm happy reading my little kid books. So..the book..it is about this kid named Greg and he's in middle school just trying to survive. It is really funny and it's written as a journal so it has like 'handwriting' and it has pictures of what Greg's talking about, which I like. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a fast and easy and funny read. In any case, READ, it's good for you. Even though this is my last post I will keep on reading, so you do it too all you nerds in front of computers(:
I love you all!

Absolutely Positively Not.

Afternoon my bloggers,
How you doing? So this book I've been reading, it's called Absolutely Positively Not. This is a really good book I think. It actually captures the whole 'I'm a teenager' thing and the 'my parents are such freaks' thing. It's about this guy who is 'absolutely positively not' gay. He starts out in the book by being afraid of himself possibly being gay. He progresses to not admitting he's gay. Then he tries to make himself straight by buying a porno magazine. He also tries dating a lot of girls, which doesn't make him straight either. He doesn't admit to anybody that he's gay until almost the end of the book. He even covers up himself being gay but taking a dog to a dance (he got into some sticky situations). This book is really good because it talks about accepting yourself and learning your identity. In the end he admits being gay and he is accepted, which is really wonderful. He even joins a support group with other gay teens. Though it seems I have given away the whole book, I didn't. It is really funny and a fast read. I would urge you to read it.
Later Guys,

Night

Hey Bloggers! So, I read the book room a few days ago and it was so powerful. I would recommend this book to anyone. It is a book by a holocaust surviver named Elie Wiesel. It talks about his personal experience of being jewish in the holocaust and it made me cry. It was a very dark book too, it changed the way I think about things. There is a whole world bigger than us and people are being tortured everyday for things out of their control. We ALL are just trying to survive in this crazy mixed up world where sometimes there really are no morals and no rules. I never really understand how horrible life in a concentration camp was. I have been learning about the holocaust almost my whole life in various jewish programs I participate in, but you can never fully understand how it is for everyone around you to be murdered. Everyone you ever knew disappears and you never know if you will ever see them again. This book made me think and remember that things in my life now are really not that bad. Life is truly livable. See you later!
