“Out, Out!”

In the poem “Out, Out!” by Robert Frost a young boy is working at a saw mill, and when his sister calls for him the saw cuts his hand off and he bleeds to death and passes away. Robert Frost makes the title an allusion. The title relates to one of Shakespeare’s plays, and it represents that life is short.

The Bridesmaid

    Abby never thought this would happen.  Her sister was one too.  This book, The Bridesmaid is written by, Hailey Abbott.

   It was official Abby’s sister Carol was a bridezilla.  Abby’s parents are proud owners of Doves Roost which is a place where happy couples get married.  When Abby’s parents find out they get to plan their oldest daughter, Carols, wedding it turns into a trainwreck.  Other than being her sisters bridesmaid, Abby has other problems, too.

   “This was what her sister really wanted.”  This is my favorite part of the book, because it is when Abby is actually happy for her sister for the first time in the whole book.

   I recommend this book to people who like love stories, and who like to read a book that has a shocking ending.  I would rate this book a nine.

Fake Me a Match

   Ever been in a challenging situation, and had no idea what to do?   Avery Laduke has.  Fake Me a Match written by Lauren Barnholdt is an extraordinary book.

   Avery Laduke gets a new step sister, Blake.  When Blake develops a crush on Sam, and he has feeling for Avery things get a little messy, and can be confusing at some points in the book.  Avery gets put in charge of a matchmaking service for Student Council.  You can just imagine how much pressure she is under.

   “Blake plops herself down in the second-to-last seat.  By two boys. Sam Humphrey and Hayden Frye.”  When Blake first develops a crush on Sam it’s on the school bus on the way to her first day at her new school.  This is my favorite part, because it reveals what Blake’s personality is going to be like throughout the book.

   I really enjoyed this book, and I do recommend on reading it.  On a scale from 1-10 I would rate this book a 9.  This is a very good book.

The Sense of Touch

My favorite sense is my sense of touch. This sense makes my life better, because I can feel the softness of a blanket, the warm feeling when my dog cuddles up with me, and I can enjoy my favorite season, Summer. I also enjoy the feeling when I’m up to bat and that tingle you get when the ball hits the bat. When I get cuts and scratches I would need to care for them, but if I didn’t have this I would never know if I needed to care for any cut or scratch I get.

 

If this sense were ever taken away I wouldn’t be able to write very well because I wouldn’t feel the pencil in my hand. I wouldn’t be able to feel the sun shining down on me, and if I wanted to go swimming I wouldn’t have the same feeling like if I race my brother I wouldn’t feel the water brush up against my face, and if I couldn’t feel that fuzzy feeling you get when you hug your best friend or your parents I don’t know what I would do.

Said the whistle

my turn to serve,

encouragement was coming from my team.

I toss the ball up,

WHAM!

I served

the opposing team sent it flying.

Now it was game point,

all up to me.

I watched the ball go

over the net…an ace!

We had won!

The whole team celebrated.

I thought to myself….

I can do anything if I just believe

in myself.
