No Comment-
Amazing we are this close to the end. 
There was just a few things I wanted to get out of the way right away. Actually, I was able to find a better than honest evaluation of EarthCore. I emailed the author and we have been having a rather interesting email exchange. We figured out that the book is worth 32 points. If you want me to send it to you I would be more than glad to. Just use the same email address you want it sent to when you put your email address in for the comment. Also, I am not a reluctant reader just so you know.
This week in Earthcore was definantly one to be remembered. Especially for the fact that Randy Wright, a mining foreman and Sanji all died in the course of the book so far. I was just amazed at how quickly the characters seemed to die off and the variety of ways that the author decided to kill them. My favorite character however is O'Doyle. His perseverance to keep going strong even after he injured his knee and had a dying companion who he loved was jaw dropping. O'Doyle also has the heart of a teddy bear for being an international killing machine.
Also, I was wondering if it would be all right for me to do an alternative AR on EarthCore. You said I could still pick off the original list earlier. So I would like to write a new beginning to the book. Can I turn it in next Friday?
After giving much thought to what went on Wednesday I have thought that during the first part of the "protest" it was pretty much selfish and probably should not have just been for the picnic. The second part where people purposely skipped class was most definantly selfish and uncalled for. I think that much blame is put unfairly on teacher's shoulders. Teachers should not be blamed because the school is running out of money. They deserve to be paid their fair wages like the rest of the people that work all over. I think that it is horrible that our school cannot afford cleaning the way it should be done. I believe that the old superintendent left us because he saw the chalk hitting the sidewalk. Sadly, this is not going to get better very soon as the economists expect that Michigan will be in an economic slump for 5-8 more years. Who knows what will happen to our schools by then?
Have your say!
