No Comment-
This week in The Black House many horrendous events occurred. Everything from people being uncivil towards each other to a boy’s mother going insane. This part of the book has defiantly taken a turn towards the wild side. The missing boys mother has begun to question herself about other disappearing children. The mother thinks that she may be the mysterious “fisherman”. This drives her insane having her husband commit her to the physciatric ward. I find this part of the book to get better and better. The more dysfunction the better I find the horror aspects of the book.
This week I finally received my new mp3 player from UPS. I officially am against all companies that deal with shipping unless I am getting it overnighted to me. 11 days for a mp3 player coming from Oklahoma is ridiculous. Also being an hour away from Wixom yet taking thirteen hours to get to my house from Wixom this company has ceased to amaze me. I officially am going to complain to the company about their slow response time. As well as the shipping contractor. Also, I am looking forward to listening to more music and videos.
On the topic of denying the holocaust. I am glad I listened to Penn Gillette of the Penn and Teller show on the radio last night. He has his own radio show in Las Vegas and was arguing that countries in Europe are afraid of free speech and therefore are not giving people rights to say what they want including the holocaust. I disagree with Penn Gillette. These countries are not scared they just do not want to open up old wounds that still are healing after a half a century. They also have the right to deny people freedom of speech but I personally would be glad that I am living in America.
I would also like to do an alternative AR assignment on Schindler’s List, which I just finished, finally, yesterday. The activity I wish to do is to write a new ending to the book. I think a page will suffice, next Thursday looks to be a good day for me to turn it in. The book is worth 20 points. Any ideas that may need to be changed? Thanks!
Books read this week: Black House by Stephen King 120-210. Schindler’s List last 50 pages I read.
Thank you!
Have your say!
