Last SOL ever! (slice)
Picture this. A small tub of water that is about a 2*3*10 foot tank. Inside, are small white disks with a four petal flower shape, glowing in the middle. As you reach down to touch it, the thin surface glides away like saran wrap in oil. the small fishing line tentacles glide along with it to the back of the tank. Another parachute floats to the edge, where the process repeats. Your hands are left with a thin layer of slime over them. With a quick shake of the hands, its existence is gone, leaving only its imprint inside your head. The next exhibit has a burgundy and white tentacle in the corner. Off to explore.

Y: The Last Man (book review)
Y: The Last Man is a graphic novel following the story of the last man and his monkey. After a strange disease supposedly takes out every living man besides Yorrik, he is forced to find a cure or risk the end of the human race.
I really liked this book. It combined a unique approach to graphic novels with unique characters and storyline. I would recommend this book for most people. While the language was simple, the storyline was deep enough to stay intriguing throughout the full book.

11th Plague (book review wk 2)
The 11th Plague is a post apocalyptic book about a young boy who's father is put into a coma. At the beginning of the book, it was an interesting idea, but unfortunately, it developed into a teen romance (which made me not like it).
Overall, this book started out with a lot of potential, but slowly changed to a different book. I would recommend this book to anyone that likes that kind of reading.
Right now, I'm reading Y the last man

My Computer (SOL)
My Computer
A gray block
Containing a screen
It sits on a fan
Lying beside
is a mouse
a controller
and headphones
it's 11:00
and my homework is halfway done

If I was in any video game... (SOL)
If I was in any video game, I would be in the Arkham games (Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, Arkham Origins, and now Arkham Knight). This is because this series combines the Batman comics, and video game culture in a great way, and has reinvented all the characters to make them fit the story line better (revamped costumes, great voice acting, and awesome boss fights). This story line is my computer's wallpaper along with the idea for my Halloween costume. Overall, this series is so well done, I would like to be able to participate in its story.

The Road (book review)
The Road is a post apocalyptic book about a man and his son traveling along a road. This story has very strong character development and setting. This book is very unique. It was interesting, but the writing style was a bit tricky, so I would recommend this book to teenagers to adults.

The Road (book review)
The Road is a post apocalyptic book about a man and his son, as they try to survive. They are walking along an old interstate road trying to get south (where it's warmer). They must also face starvation, cannibalism, and freezing.
Overall, I really like this book's vivid detail, and strong character development. The writing style is difficult, and the topic is mature, so I would recommend this book for older students.

Easter SOL
Easter is a fun holiday. You get lots of candy, and you get a whole week off as well. The thing is the whole holiday is about a guy being crucified (a slow and painful death) and then his body is "magically" stolen. It's probably the saddest holiday there is, and yet a giant bunny goes around giving kids candy. I guess that is what capitalism does to society. Christmas is about presents, Valentines is about getting chocolate, and St. Patrick's day is all about stealing gold from a tiny person. Overall, I think all holidays are changed to fit a greedy system. Luckily we get candy and presents instead of cabbage and brussel sprouts.

Not a slice of life (book review)
I read two books. Enders shadow and Threatened. Since I already talked about Enders Shadow, I will write a review about Threatened. In this book, a boy named Luc explores the jungle. Through this he learns that the monsters of his childhood are actually loving creatures. This was a pretty good book with well developed characters and a strong plot line. Overall, I liked this book and would recommend it to all AS kids.
