Current connection 4/12/13

On Thursday three boys were arrested for the sexual assault of 15 year old, Audrey Pott. Do you feel that these boys should feel guilty for her suicide? Pictures got posted on the Internet and she couldn't take it. She claimed it to be "the worst day ever." Teens these days are getting carried away with bullying. They don't know how much their words hurt. Several suicides have been committed this year. I've been through the death of a friend who committed suicide more than once. It's hard, yes. Most kids don't realize that that by just teasing someone 1 time every day can build up and really hurt them. Bullying and acting stupid by sexually assaulting someone who isn't even conscious are extremely pathetic. Karma will soon get them back.

Two boys? Or two cowards?

"Two boys open fire in a high school, killing many and wounding others", would you forgive them? My answer is pretty plain and simple, no. They are defiantly to young to be killing people. They shouldn't ever even think of killing someone other than on video games. Also, they have yet to have a good reason to do it. That is what's wrong with our world today, they are always resorting to violence. Have you ever heard they saying? "Do to others what you would want done to you." If you go around shooting up a school, you can't expect forgiveness. You deserve to face a hard punishment. But, that's just my view on the issue. God also says "you must forgive to be forgiven." So, in conclusion some can say this can be forgiven, but j myself would never forgive them.

Narcissus image

I think the man in the picture is Narcissus for the fact he doesnt even notice the half naked woman beside him. The picture cleary displays everything about Narsissus that the story said. He only sees himself.

Shark Savior

      Not many people can say that they have been saved by sharks, but Toakai Teitoi, 41, a policeman from the Central Pacific island nation of Kiribati, can owe his life to one. He had been traveling with his brother-in-law, Falaile, of 52, on what was supposed to be a short voyage, beginning May 27, from the Kiribati capital of Tarawa to his home island of Maiana. They decided to fish along the way, and fell asleep during the night. When they woke up they were in the middle of the ocean. They had plenty of food but they had nothing to drink. Toakai’s brother-in-law died on July 4.The night he passed away, Teitoi slept next to him, "like at a funeral," before an emotional burial at sea the next morning.  This same night, Toakai prayed and the following day there was a severe storm and he was able to collect two five gallon containers with fresh drinking water.  I feel that he was a very smart man for thinking about collecting the rain water, most people would never have thought of that. The authors purpose is to tell how brave and clever he was. I strongly feel that Pete Thomas, the author of “Fisherman adrift for 106 days in Pacific says shark led him to rescuers” , got his point across very well. I agree fully with everything that was said. I just don’t understand how a shark could supposedly circle around the boat taking him to safety. Any normal shark would have tried to flip the boat and eat the contents, in this case, the man. Toakai is extremely lucky. I still don't trust sharks though.

It's Not Summer Without You by Jenny Han

This book is the next book in the series I'm reading. Jenny Han is a really good writer. I have read around four of her books. She a very good style of writing. The books aren't to long either which I like. I have really grown fond of this series and i hope it ends the way I have planned.

Girl Gone by Gillian Flynn

This book is on the top 100 chart. Mrs. Pickett said sounded like a great book. His style of writing is similiar to James Patterson. I have heard that James Patterson is a very talented writer. This book also caught my eye because of the cover.

Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher

I feel like this book would be very interesting to read. A girl leaves 13 Cassette tapes each telling a reason why she killed herself. She points fingers at different people, making them feel like its there fault she did it. I know people who have friends who killed themselves.

Milk Weed by Jenny Spinelly

I want to read this book because I have learned a lot about the Jews and the Nazis back during the war so ill be able to understand it better. I also have  a friend who has read it they said it was very good. She said she would recommend it to anyone.

What happened to goodbye by Sarah Dessen

I want to read this book because I have had people tell me its a good book. I have read some of her books and they were really good. I have had a few different people tell me I should read this book. The cover really caught my attention as well.

Deadly Little Games by Laura Faria Stolarz

This book is the next in a series I have previously read. I want to finish this series because her books are romantic, mysterious, and suspenseful. She makes me feel like I'm one of the characters in the book.  She is one of my favorite authors. `

Her best friends brother by TJ Dell \

I want to read this book because its about a girl who likes her bestfriends brother.  I have been through this before, so I wanna read about how she handles it.  This author seems to be alot like Sarah Dessen, they discuss real teenage issues.

I love dolphins to start with.  This is why this book caught my eye. It's about a girl who feels trapped like noone cares and she just wants to be free.


Hunger Games by Susan Collins

I want to read this book because the movie looks really, really good. Everyone I talk to about it, that has read it, says it's a good book and movie.  Its got adventure and suspence.  I like Hosh Hutcherson as well.

I love Jenny Han's books!!!  She's a great writer and I want to read all of her books.  I can somewhat relate to some of her books in a way.  They are really good.
