Book Review So the books are about this girl named Katniss Everdeen. In the first book she took her sister's place in the games of their district. Peeta and Katniss won and went home. These books are a lot of Science Fiction. The books are mainly about how Katniss survives and takes care of her family and now everyone is out to get her and kill her. The book that I will be talking about would be The Hunger Games. I think that the three of these books are going to be so much better than the movie. I see that the first movie left out a lot of details. I feel that the second movie is going to be okay; but the book is going to be so much better. I’m on the third book right now and it's crazy, all the bombing and chaos. I believe that it would be way crazy to be living in the way that they were. I recommend that you guys go and read them. I feel that they are good books and that they are worth reading in your free time. I would rate this book at least a 4. By Brad

What’s hot I think B.K.E, Big Star, True Religion, Kayden K, Rock n Republics, M.E.K are some fresh jeans even though they are around $80 to $300 for some pairs of their jeans. I think they go good with a plain black, white, gray, or blue dream USA t shirt or a Celtics jersey and some Nikes, Jordan’s, Vans, or Chucks go hard with this stuff and it goes with a fresh hat to match everything you have on like me. This is all I wear and cargo shorts also, but I think the freshest ones are the cameo cargo short cuz they go with anything and everything I have. They just go hard in general so this is what I like cuz this is all I wear cuz I don’t buy nothing cheap cuz all my stuff has to be real and have good value to it. I just like to be as fresh as possible. This is my swag right here, this is all the kinds of clothes I wear. This goes hard, this is a clean outfit to the fullest.

What’s not hot In my eyes I see all the guys in skinny jeans riding skateboards as some punks, cuz skinny jeans are not good for guys to wear at all cuz it looks uncomfortable. I can’t wear that crap cuz it makes me walk funny and it kind of hurts so I don’t wear those tight pants cuz people may think they look good, but no they be looking stupid. I think I have tried to put those pants on once and I will never do it again cuz it hurt. People wearing their hats to the back looks stupid on most people, I think, but better on some others. When guys wear them tight shirts to try and look buff, but they really aint, they be looking dumb also cuz it looks like they are trying to wear their little brothers shirt or something like that. They are looking like some throw back so they got to throw those back Book Reviews J. The books that I suggest to read are the books by Alex Rider. The reason I think these are the best books alive is because outta all the books that I have read this series is the best and there are like 7 of their books so it will take awhile to read. I really suggest to read these books so if you want a good series then I would honestly go with these ones. The books are about When 14- year-old Alex Rider hears of his uncle's tragic death in an auto accident, he becomes immediately suspicious. As far as Alex knew, Ian Rider had been a banker, a very careful man. He was also Alex's only living relative. "Following up on his uncle's fate, Alex discovers that the car is at a junkyard and is sporting dozens of bullet holes and blood on the seats that proves his uncle was murdered. So who killed Ian Rider and covered the act up? And why?" He was really curious of what had happened so he was going to go and sneak around and see what the car looked like. "Alex's quest for the truth introduces him to Alan Blunt, a spymaster for Britain's MI6 espionage agency. Caught while seeking further information, Alex is blackmailed by Blunt into becoming the youngest spy to ever work for MI6. “ He wanted to see where his father’s office was and what was going on in there so he when and snuck around. He had found out his uncle’s real job. "Herod Sayles, a multi-millionaire, is giving away thousands of his newest computers, Stormbreaker, to the children of London's schools. Ian Rider was investigating the man and those machines when he was killed. If Alex doesn't agree to undertake the mission, Blunt promises that he will be sent off to an orphan's home, and that his housekeeper, Jack Starbright, will be deported back to America. ‘’ There is a type of gas in the computers so it kills everyone in school and he wants to kill everyone in the school because he was bullied when he was a kid. "Before he can adjust to getting blackmailed, Alex is sent on a three-week crash course training with SAS commandos. Yanked out of training, Alex is thrown headlong into the grinning jaws of death where he will meet a spectacular array of villains, including Mr. Grin, who has had his face disfigured during a throwing knife accident in a circus, and a huge jellyfish. “ Alex gets out of the fish tank because he had this cream that melts stuff and he put it on the glass so he didn’t die and it eventually broke open. "Anthony Horowitz is a successful writer of novels and television shows. His latest Alex Rider novel, //Ark Angel//, is out this year, bringing the total number in the series up to six. The series exploded internationally, bursting on to the scene and grabbing the reading public of all ages. A movie based on the first novel is awaiting release. In addition, Horowitz has television and movie scripts for //Poirot// and //Midsomer Nights//, and he has created his own television shows, //Murder In Mind// and //Foyle’s War//. Sothat is My summary and I would suggest on reading them.

When the Lights go Out

When the lights go out I finally know that I am out for the count the stars are bright and the trumpet sound in my head I get up, he swings to the right his fist almost saying good night I step to the left and start to get crafty start stepping and he starts whipping I get a shot and just like that “pop” he drops like a ton of bricks he gets up and starts to kick the crowd starts to cheer someone gets a drink of beer he hits me then there’s a blood smear he hits and he hits hard, but I don’t see stars he starts to weaken that’s when I start m y weekend on him left then right then up, it’s almost the end of the fight that’s when I take flight and it gets bright the trumpets sound then an upper cut he’s down for the count the lights go out it’s over now I am crowned.

Book Review- By: Violet From What I Remember- By: Stacy Kramer This book has such an amazing story and lesson in life. The main character, Kylie, is a straight A student who has been honored with the role of the Valedictorian, but when something goes wrong her whole experience of high school changes in the night. The lesson I got out of this book was that you have to have a balance between work and play or you will just burn yourself out. In my opinion the book was very well written, kept my attention very well, and also is not a hard read. I would recommend this book to the young adults who like a good fiction that still encourage the hope for their love lives. I would give this book four out of five stars.


 * Music Review **


 * People like Us by Kelly Clarkson **


 * This song seriously shows an amazing sense of motivation. I heard this song for the first time yesterday, and when I’m having a hard time with my life struggles, I listen to it and it kicks me back in gear. The words to this song aren’t like most other mainstream “rap” songs. It has a meaning to the words and actually shows a message. In my opinion, I wish there were more new songs and artists that would show a clear positive, happy-with-life message, because that’s what this world needs. ***** I give this song five stars. -Ashley**

**__ This Means War __** The action-packed romantic movie //This Means War// has gotten a lot of good feedback from viewers who’ve come across seeing it. It is packed with good humor, action, and romance, making it so anyone that prefers those genres will have a good time watching it. The movie plot is about two former CIA agents – who are best friends - both come across a particular girl who they both fall madly in love with. As they both find out that the girl they’re with is with the other, it soon turns into a war between the two agents as they both try and do everything they can to make her fall in love with one of them. Both friends come to the point of sabotaging every date that the other has, which makes it a very fun and humorous movie. This movie is certainly one that I would not have a problem with watching more than once. It will certainly have you at the edge of your seat just waiting for the next funny scene to approach the screen. I promise it’s a movie that you would never regret seeing. By: Osman

Dear Artec, I know you're here to help and you are!!!. But I need to get home to my wife and my kids. It feels like you're keeping me here for no reason. But then again you’re keeping me away from all the stupid stuff and I’m grateful. You’ve made me a better person and made me realize things I should have a long time ago. I have fun, play games and play sports. But I would rather be watching my kids grow up and be beautiful young children. There’s more in life then just being sober “on the reals”. I hope I never have to come to a place like this again. I just need to get home, so if would just please let me go I know I can and be successful. “BOOM” By Carlos Movie review

The movie I want to talk about is 8-Legged freaks. This movie is about spiders. It has a main character; he is an 11-year-old boy. The spiders rule down town Phoenix Arizona. I liked the fact that this movie inspired me to never get a pet spider. by Justin

== Today I’m going to write about my favorite football team. I am a Denver Broncos fan. I hate that it’s not football season right now. My Broncos are going to do great this next season. I bleed blue and orange. Since we have Payton Manning we could easily be the best team in the NFL this year. ==

Pierce the veil- By; Alex Hold on till May Pierce the Veil is one of the few original bands that still remain in this new time period. I favor their music over any other type of music. Their music resembles more than just words, there is meaning behind their songs. Unlike any other music in the industry of music today. They represent how hard life can be, but they give off courage to get through everyday struggles.

I think that Artec news is a kool thing for us. I like the Artec news, it show us how to write for maybe a career or just have fun with it. When you have fun with it it’s cool to write for Artec news. I have fun with it. Try it you will have more fun than you think. Being in Artec it sucks if you make it that way, just have fun and it will be fun and the time will fly by. I have been here for 3 months now and the first month I looked at it as hell, then I got to having fun here now the time goes by. by Cody Erin

When Erin is not at work she’s at the gym but not Gold’s Gym she goes to Planet Fitness. She doesn’t really mind her middle name much and she’s never tried the Doritos Loco’s Taco. She also knows who Confusious is and thinks he is very wise and old. She has been whipped with a towel and she says “it hurts”. She isn’t allergic to anything and during our interview I asked her if she would be a hippy and she says no she is too modern. She thinks Big Bird would be seven feet tall and she thinks he’s awesome. She’s not scared of the dark and last but not least, she has seen only parts of Pineapple Express and thinks it's crazy.

By Mario M. Mothers day is this weekend happy mothers day!! I like mothers day because I get to spend it with my mom his weekend. I also like mothers day because it gives my mom time to do what she wants. I also like how it lets moms know that they are appreciated. I think it is good to let our mom's know that we love them and respect them. I’m going to get my mom a card for mother’s day this year. I think that one of the best things about my mom is that she try’s to help me. BY Isiah F

===I like the Transformers because they are amusing and funny to watch. The Autobots are good and the Decepticons are bad. The Autobots look up to Optimus Prime as their leader. The Transformers also like to help out as much as they can, and protect us from the Decepticons.===
