Crank

I haven't read much crank, but I can tell it will be one of my favorite books. Just for the fact that it has to deal with addictions. The main character in the book is Kristina (Bree). She is an extraordinary average teenager that gets let down the wrong path by her father and boyfriend. After she takes the first line her life is changed forever, and there really isn't anything she can do about it. Once you get stuck on something like that there really isn't anything you can do about. especially when your boyfriend and dad support your habit, and make you think that you need it. Just by reading the first 50 pages of the book i was addicted. The writer of the book made it kinda hard to read at first due to the poems that tell the story but after the first few segments be prepared to be addicted. I never knew how powerful crank was until it gets in complete detail about the feelings and affects. Extremely powerful!

Free choice week 7 =)

So last week in the mail my grandma received a letter in the mail from my sister’s school. About how there is a lot of bullying in the middle school and their goal this year is to try and resolve as much of it as possible by setting more rules, and doing certain activities that will address that bullying is a problem.

By reading that I was just shocked about how big of a problem it really is. I never really noticed it till I started reading Thirteen Reasons Why. Just by listening to my sisters conversations with her friends it really is a MAJOR problem. I’m really glad that the school has noticed that it is becoming a problem other then ignoring like other schools have. Kinda makes me feel better and not so paranoid about what my sister and her friends are gossiping about.
