i heart you, you haunt me by:lisa schroeder

i heart you, you haunt me is about two young lovers named Ava and Jackson. but Jackson dies but his spirit is still in the air and he contacts with Ava, this book is amazing its about two young lovers that love end but it doesn't at the same time. in others eyes if they saw her talking to the air they would've thought that shes crazy but she knows that she hears him even though she could barely feel him and he talks to her even though hes a spirit. ever since he died and they had his funeral she would barely leave her house and her friends and her ex would try and help her but all she wanted to do was be left alone with her ghost of a boyfriend. later in the book since her parents were really worried about her they took her to there beach house and while she was there Ava relaxed and enjoyed the weather, while there she met a guy with blonder hair named lyric and she clicked with him but while she was with him after a while all she thought about was Jackson and how he would've felt seeing her with another guy even though hes dead. I'm still currently reading this book but so far its really fascinating. i would recommend this book to anyone who's into romantic stories because that's exactly what this book is.

saintiggy by: K.L.Going

saintiggy i feel is about a high school boy who's having a ruff life between getting kicked out of school for something he didn't do and the teachers think that all he does is bad things and smokes, but its not true because Iggy is trying to turn good but every time that happens then he messes up. i feel the moral of the story all together is to never judge a book by its cover and that what they did in the book.since that was Iggy's last chance of staying in the school and he lost it he got kicked out. when he went home all he had was a sleeping drunk father and a runaway and come back in a month mother. he only had one true friend named mo because they met when he had to be apart of a big brother group and therefore mo was his 'big brother' and after that they got closer and became friends. when mo smokes its like hes more understanding and more mellow so Iggy tried to get him to smoke so when he told him the news he wouldn't get mad and freak out, but mo was to sick to do that. once Iggy confesses to what happened and tells the story to mo hes mad but he isn't as mad as Iggy expected. but all together this book was really good and it really caught my eye. i would recommend this book to anyone who really likes drama because this book is full of it.

hw for spring break

#1.
one on my two favorite blogs from ms Galangs list was ruby's when she talked about the play 'much ado about nothing' because it was a really good blog. she had a lot of excitement in her blog which showed that she really enjoyed herself at the play. I also like how she compared the different characters in the play and mentioned the one that she liked. another blog that i enjoyed reading was Joyce because of the way that she compared gale and peeta from the movie the hunger games. in the beginning of her blog the way she started it was as if she was talking to you. i like how she said that katniss is in the middle of a love triangle because of the way she compared the love that both peeta and gale had for katniss.
a way that i will work on doing better in my blogs is by updating it more because i don't write a lot of blog entries which is a reason of many that i don't do good on my report card. and looking at ruby's and Joyce Ive noticed that i need to put more details into my blogs and make it so it doesn't sound boring  but yet interesting, overall i feel that i don't put a lot of effort into my work and therefore it doesn't sound as good as i want it to.lastly another thing that i need to work on is make my blog sound like i am talking to the reader face to face as if its a conversation not just tell the story and as i said earlier make it sound boring.

#2. I feel the student shouldn't have written the quote without the quoting sign even though he put it as a slant.another thing that the student could've done better in was capitalization. in some parts he would capitalize words and then go on with the sentence without putting a period.some ways of avoiding plagiarizing is by rearranging the words. don't write the same words it says in a book or on the computer just read a good bit of the paragraph, quote etc and just go and write it in your own words,lastly a way that you could avoid polarizing would be to not only look at that text if you can look in a book and then just rearrange a couple of words and then you have it right there.
