Slice of Life

The sun sets as our candles are lit. Songs are sung and tears slip down people's faces behind the darkness of the shadows. It is the end. What seems like a hundred candles glow and peoples faces are illuminated. We must leave what bounded us together, and the songs continue. The younger people have gone. The air from the songs make the flames dance, all together. The last song ends and the first few candles have gone out. We do not want it to end, but the flames disappear into the night sky. It is dark.

Ripper
January 26, 2015
100th post
This week I read Ripper, which is a fiction book written by Stefan Petrucha. This book is about a boy named Carter Young who lives in New York, where a serial killer has broken loose and has began to kill women just like Jack the Ripper. Carter is a foster child who starts to work on this case with an investigator, but it is carter that realizes the connection between the two serial killers, and must stop it before it is too late. I thought that this book was really well written and was an interesting twist on the mystery of Jack the Ripper. I also liked how this book kept me interested all the way through, and the beginning of the book really made me want to read more. Overall I would recommend this book, it was very good.
Next three books - Montmorency, The Martian, and Outliers

An underwater ballet. The sun sets as we get into the boat. The boat ride was short and the view were incredible as the light faded. Finally we arrive to the spot where we are going to get into the water. It is almost black but the water is lit up by the other boats and groups already in the water. We get on out gear and we are finally in the water. It is cold, but that is the last things on our minds. The first ones we see glide by so gracefully it could not even be noticed. More and more come because of the plankton in the water. When they open there mouths the plankton floods in, it is so unique. Close to the end of our time we find one performing a underwater ballet. It glides and does constant vertical loops. It is known as the underwater ballet and it is done by the manta rays.

Snow
The lines are long and it is beginning to get very hot, and we have not even 9:00am. ONce we finally get on the slopes it is all worth it. The icy chill of the snow, the light breeze, and racing down the slopes makes the time speed by. We stop for lunch, then go straight back to the snow. The sun starts to set and the powder is all gone, so we get all of out stuff together and leave, but it was a great skiing day.

Confessions of a private school murder
This week I read Confessions of a private school murder written by James Patterson. It is a fiction book about a girl named Tandy. After her parents and her brother's girlfriends death, she begins to start to solve the mystery of the death of a classmate, but has to figure out the mystery soon because she is the next victim. I thought that this book was really good, it was a little confusing in the beginning because it does not start in a totally clear spot, but overall I think this was a good book.

Slice of Life - Wanderlust
January 12, 2015
I stare at a world map. Eight countries and three continents. 188 countries and 4 continents left, not even counting everything that has not been explored yet and 96% of the world being ocean. A big dream, but if your dreams are not big enough, they are not worth it. I will do it. I will travel the world.

If I stay
January 9, 2015
This week I read If I stay written by Gayle Forman. This book is about a girl named Mia who suddenly gets into a car accident with her parents and brother, who do not make it. For some reason she gets caught in a place between life and death, and she has to decide between staying and moving on with her parents and brother. This book was really good, it had a lot of detail and it was interesting all the way through. Also the plot got more interesting throughout the book. Overall I would definitely recommend this book.

A screech comes comes from the other line of the phone. I look over and I see struggle beyond compare and a person gasping for breath. More screams come and the issue is a broken fish filter. A cord from it has gotten stuck ing the wrong spot and no matter how hard she pulls, it will not come lose. More noises come that do not have a name. Another pair of hands comes into the situation and the cord has moved, but not much else has happened. The problem happened 45 minutes ago, and it is not out yet. Suddenly the pulling has caused the filter to come out along with some nasty stuff, but in everything the cord has been released and the filter is fixed. It took an hour, but everything is solve, other than the net that is too small for the large fish.
