Be The Change

Author: Brooke January 5, 2012 Featured, Student Life No Comments

In school there are all of these signs and many times when you hear about bullying and the teachers think that they help. When in truth they are just another sign on the wall that no one looks at. In class today there was a story that really brought this to a front. A kid in Wyoming was being bullied and that lead to him going missing on Christmas.

When they found him he had jumped in front of train. This story leads to the discussion that was out of the ordinary from other talks about bullying. . Mr. Moses said, “Girls are like sharks and they circle each other to find someone to prey on.”  Derek Downing agrees, he said,” I don’t personally go through it but just walking down the halls listening to the comments about people are unbelievable how rude they are to each other and behind each other’s backs This makes for just high school reality it’s the truth that it’s not the work that we have to deal with it is the ridicule from all of the other students. All of these things are meant to be in place to help and now is the time to change it. So let us really be the change.

Only Revolutions Book Review

2 Feb 2012

Inside of the book

When one approaches any novel by Danielewski, they usually expect innovative typography mixed with the author’s surprising prose. This was shown in his first book, House of Leaves, where he manipulated the text on the page to express ideas, thoughts, metaphors, and plot. Yet as one picks up Only Revolutions, the typography offers less of an art form and more of a daunting task the reader must traverse. This mixed with Danielewski playing with prose …

Multi-tasking Boys

31 Jan 2012

feat.

High school boys are mischievous people and don’t usually think before they act. An effect of this is the mysterious hole in the upstairs high school boy’s bathroom.

Matched Book Review

19 Jan 2012

Matched Trilogy coming out on top of The Hunger Games?
