September Book Blog

         This month I read a fantasy book called Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. This book is full of action and myths. There's young love. There is good against evil. This book was amazing. I loved every word of it. Even when it was sad. It is the first of the series. I can't wait to read the second book. I am in love with this series. It is possibly the best book that I have ever read. The book is about a young girl named Lena Duchannes. She has lived all over the United States. She has moved in with her uncle who lives in a very small and boring town. In this town there is a boy named Ethan Wate. Somehow Lena and Ethan have a connection. They aren't suppose to since Lena is a Caster. This book is about how Lena and Ethan uncover a very large secret in the Ravenwood/ Duuchannes family. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone. Even if they don't like fantasy books. I think they would like this one. It was phenomenal.

New York times Quick write: China

      In the video, the Chinese realtor stated the "...black are cheaper..." to pay to act. The question that it raised for me is, are they trying to be racist or are they just stating what they have seen? Also, a potential buyer said, " ...ad long as there is a good image...". This raised a big question for me. What if it isn't a good area and there is trouble everywhere? They could have paid people that do bad things there, to act like nothing is wrong.
