Book review Halo: The Fall of Reach

What I think of this book is it is very good. I recommend it as a good science fiction read. It tells the story of John, or Master Chief, how he becomes a Spartan and the missions he goes on with his other Spartans. This book is sad though, if you do not understand the concept of loyalty and honor with sacrifice do not read. I give this book 4 ½ stars.

I really like a song by E-40 it's called The Recipe. It is sick and it’s like my favorite song in the frickin world. It inspires me to be good, because it has such a good message. E-40 is the shiz because his music sounds sick. You should really go home and look it up so you know what I’m talking about.

My favorite video game is Grand Theft Auto. Because you can steal cars and do fun things. The main character reminds me of some people in my family. You can do missions, have gang war,s fight for territory and buy houses. You can also build cars, burn down special plants, and just do pretty much whatever you want. The reason I like it so much it lets you escape from reality for a while and just have fun in a video game. BY CLINTON

Music Review: Lady GaGa, Mariah Carey, & Akon Lady GaGa’s song Paparazzi is about a girl whose boyfriend killed her and she came back to life and poisoned her boyfriend. Mariah Carey’s song obsessed is about a guy who is obsessed with her and he is always stalking her, then one day he goes out into the middle of the street to take pictures of her and got hit by a bus. Akon’s song I’m Not a Sucker for Love is about Akon not falling for any girls until one girl catches his eye and he starts singing “I’m not a sucker for love”. By:JT

MUSIC REVIEW KOTTONMOUTH KINGS I THINK THAT THEY SING VERY WELL. ALSO I THINK THAT THEY HAVE COME A LONG WAY. ANOTHER REASON IS THEY PLAY WITH ACOUSTIC GUITAR. THEY ALSO PLAY WITH AN ELECTRIC GUITAR. THEY PLAY RAP. ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS BY THEM IS TANGERINE SKY. I RATE THEM WITH 5 STARS. By matt

HALLOWEEN 10-16-09*
 * Halloween is my life I love it so much. It’s just so amazing. I love the haunted houses except they can be really mean. I hate those clowns because one of them was chasing me through the whole thing. I ran, I fell down and the clown was standing over me laughing at me. I love the costumes too because it shows what people like. The make up too, it looks so real how my friends do my make up. I just like scary stuff. But like I said I really do hate the clowns. The one thing I am not going to like about Halloween is the Michel Myers. I am scared that he is going to come out and kill people. I would scream so loud if I saw that dude. No lie I would freak out. That’s why I like Halloween.*

I am doing a book review on Run Boy Run. Uri Orlev wrote it. Hillel Halkin also translated it. Uri Orlev was in the Nazi war camps. It’s about a little boy named Srulik he is nine years old. He was put in the ghetto with his mom, dad, and his older brother. They found a way to escape through a wall without being killed, so his parents left first then he and his little brother left a month later. Srulik and his mother always would go to the dumpster so Srulik could find food for his family. One day he was going to hand the basket back to his mom when she just disappeared. He got out of the dumpster to look for her but he couldn’t find her. He didn’t know how to get home he was only eight years old at the time. He was scared. Some kids found him they asked him to join their gang by breaking in to a store to get all of them some food. When he broke in to the store there was no food only vodka. One day he was living with a farmer’s family. He was in their field watching the cows when a German truck drove up and three soldiers jumped out screaming where’s the Jew. The Germans said that two times then they spotted him and ran him into a potato field. When Srulik was first on the run from the Germans some Jewish boys said always run to the forest if the German’s are after you because they are afraid of the partisans. The partisans are people who killed the German soldiers and they sometimes killed Jewish people for the fun of it. When he was in the potato field he saw a man who he recognized. Srulik started to cry. It was his father. His father told him to forget his family, to forget his name, to learn to be a Christian, to cross himself, and to never forget that he was a Jew. His father gave Srulik a Christian name is was Jurek Staniak. He did learn to cross himself, and he did everything his father told him to. Jurek was trying to get to get to another village so he flagged down a farmer and his wife. He asked them for a ride they told him to get in the back. Jurek accidentally fell asleep. When Jurek woke up he was in a Ghetto. The German’s made him take off his clothes, take a shower and get the lice off him. The only way they knew that Jewish boys were Jewish boys was that they were circumcised. They saw that he was. After he showered they took him to the kitchen and fed him a lot of food. Ever since he started being on the run he didn’t get a lot of food. He ate every last bite. When he was done eating he asked the cook how to get to the forest from there. The cook told him. He was out of that ghetto so fast. The next day he was found again he stayed there till all the German soldiers liked hi then they sent him to a ladies work camp. His arm was caught in the machine. The doctor who saw him told him since he was a Jew he would not help him. The next day another doctor came in and said that they had to amputate his arm because he his whole arm up to his elbow had gangrene. It was a very depressing time for Jurek. He was not permitted to leave the hospital but the doctor told him how to get out. The doctor said if anyone asked I never told you how to get out. Well if you want to know the rest you better read it for yourself. If you come to the library in the computer room and ask Ann for Run boy Run. She will let you check it out unless someone else has it checked it out. I give it five stars. By Shelby B
