Movie Review: Mama This Movie is SO unoriginal. It reminds me of an old movie that came out over 10 years ago called “The Grudge”. Mama is about two little girls whose dad murdered the mom and then tried to kill them in a cabin in the woods, but a dark ghostly figure stops him. Then, the dark ghostly figure, called Mama, raises the little girls for five years until they are found in the cabin in the woods. Then they go live with their uncle and his girlfriend and Mama follows them and haunts and tries to kill the family. This movie has a TERRIBLE ending and the graphics in this movie suck. The only good things about this movie are that the little girls are cute and it has a good storyline.

 * So don’t try to hold my hand or push me into talking **
 * Because what comes out my mouth is way too gosh dang shocking **
 * Smile while you can, but I hope your tears don’t waste **
 * I hope that when I’ve gone to hell there’s a smile on your face **
 * I used to get up in the morning, because dreaming brought back all my bad **
 * But lately my dreams are black and waking up makes me so sad **
 * So if I killed myself today and had that endless dream **
 * Would I see myself all dead and smile, because I could finally succeed **
 * Or would I keep right on living as a ghost with nobody to hold **
 * Would I feel warm and fuzzy deep inside or would I feel the cold **
 * Would I still have my scars, would I still be real? **
 * But more important than anything: would I still be able to feel **
 * I don’t want to feel any love, cuz then I can get hurt **
 * I hope that I don’t feel the cold, cuz then I can get burnt **
 * This girl walks in the room and sits where my body used to lay **
 * She talks to my boyfriend on the phone every single day **
 * What she says buts anger in my mind **
 * Because now she has everything that I left behind **
 * When he comes over it’s her puts a smile on his face **
 * Why did she get so lucky as to take my place? **
 * She takes my seat in school and talks to my best friend **
 * She also had the nerve to put my addiction to an end **
 * She opens up her mind and tells people what she thinks **
 * How her past and her future, by her present has its links **
 * How if she would have given up she would never have learned how to not be alone **
 * She never could have seen that your life can heal like a broken bone **
 * As I listen to her speak to those who need her help **
 * I look into her eyes and I see myself **
 * I wake up from my dream, my perspective turned around **
 * I listen for my heartbeat and notice I hear a sound **
 * That girl was me living what I would have given away **
 * But hopes, dreams, and love all made me want to stay **

//**Its called, “The never ending poem” Because I Do not know where to end. I do not know God, I do not know the devil, and I’m not sure which one he chose. I have many more parts to this poem, but it is very long so I wont write it all. I hope you guys know that life is truly short. He was 19 years old.

Book review: Perfect by Ellen Hopkins Perfect is the sad reality of teenager’s life. Although it is captured by different perceptions such as popularity, eating disorders, depression, etc. I believe that it says what most people choose to ignore. Through the entire book my opinion kept changing. I went from loving one character, to loving another. I was intrigued the entire time, and could not wait to turn to the next page. I do hope if you ever read this book, you’ll love it as much as I do. By Alex I.  Book Review : Eragon by Christian Paolini I think this was a really adventurous and exciting novel. The book is about a boy who finds a dragon egg while hunting in the forest. He thinks it’s just a stone, but a few days later it hatches for him. After that a lot of crazy events ensue. There’s rarely a moment where you’re left bored with the story. I really recommend to anyone who hasn’t read this book to definitely read it. It’s a medieval age based book with all kinds of different animals and races. So if you like adventure books with dragons, explosions and action then this is probably the book for you. By Cameron

By, Thony Yesterday the Ravens and the Vikings played head to head. In the last quarter the Vikings scored with forty five seconds left and were ahead 26-22 and with ten seconds left the Ravens were in the red zone. Joe Flacco was able to make the game winning touchdown pass to rookie Marlon Brown and was able to celebrate.

Dear ARTEC, Hey yall I’m thinkin this is going to be my last ARTEC news and I just wanted to say good bye. I want to thank all the staff for everything they have done for me. This is my third residential within a year and a half and it will be the first one I’ve ever completed. ARTEC has helped me in all aspects of my life, like school, my addiction, and family relationships. I will never forget what I have learned here in the wonderful world of ARTEC. I cannot say however that I will not forget the staff or the girls I was in here with. I love you all and good luck on your treatment. GOODBYE by krissy Christmas Today I want to tell you about the way I feel Christmas should be. I feel Christmas should be a day where families should gather together on one day to enjoy each other’s company and RELAX. This means all of the cooking and cleaning and decorating should be before CHRISTMAS DAY. Not the morning of, or while our families are at the house, or area of meeting. To me this day should be at least 1 day where everyone can be stress free.

Gravity: by Jasper

The movie Gravity is about surviving in outer space. Starring Sandra Bullock, and George Clooney. In my opinion the movie Gravity was a “yawn” so to speak. Your opinion may be different, or more or less the same. The movie is mainly about Sandra Bullock trying to get out of space and back down to earth.

By Eli Book reviews: a Stolen Life The book I’m going to talk about is A Stolen Life. It is a really sad story about how this little girl gets kidnapped at the age of 8. She was missing for 10 years and this is based on a true story. This guy that kidnapped her fed her, gave her a place to sleep and everything, because he wanted to make her as his own. Like 3 cops came to his house and she had so many times to escape, but she just stood there. He took her to stores and stuff and she just stood with him the whole time. Until one day someone came up to her and said do you need help. Someone called the cops and that’s all I’m going to tell you about this book. So you should go find and read this book. It’s a really sad book. But at the same time the best book you could read this whole year.

My favorite technological thing I find interesting is a supercomputer. The supercomputer is a very powerful object. The supercomputer is so powerful it can reverse gravity. They have over 2000 supercomputers in the world and only 10 in America. The supercomputer costs about $1,000,000,000 to buy.

By Justin Dear Artec, I think the school should be allowed to wear hoods. The school is freezing. Most of us don’t like sweaters without a hood, because most of them choke you. Also it’s really hard to find jackets without a hood. The other jackets without hoods don’t look good. Most people like to look good. By Jerrica Artec News KimberlyAnn Upcoming Holiday

I usually don’t like Christmas, not very many people do. It’s usually a difficult time of year for everyone. I’m excited for this year though, because I get to go see my dad. It's been two years since I’ve seen him, so I’m ecstatic. I also like decorating, actually I love decora ting. I also have a tradition of making Christmas cookies. I’m excited for that too. So for me Christmas is hard, but I’m finding positive ways to distract myself. I’m making Christmas easier for myself.
