the secret diary of ashley jurgens by: kelly turk and courteny turk

.
this book overall was really good it was about a teenager named Ashley jurgens who has family issues. between her parents getting a divorce and her having to live with her dad. her sister getting pregnant and keeping the baby and having a secretive wedding. this all stared because her older sister had went to a band camp and had sex there. when she came back she  took a test and found out that she was pregnant. she only told her sister and her no good best friends. it wasn't until later when she had decided to keep the baby and tell her parents. while all of this happens Ashley writes all if this into her diary and this is how the majority of the book is. while this happens Ashley bigger sister finally has the baby and names him under her last name which is jurgens. she decides to name him john jurgens and therefore her and her boyfriend lives in her house. they both get jobs and because of their hours they barely see each other. later on Ashley's parents decide to get a divorce which therefore both Ashley and her older sister decided to see who would stay with. Ashley stayed with her dad and Ashley's big sister decided to stay with her mom. the parents became neighbors but after the mom find a boyfriend a month or two later he asks her to marry him. all together this book was really good and even though i didn't watch the show on abc family i enjoyed this book

romeo and juliet entry

so far after learning the basics about romeo and Juliet i figured all together that at sometimes romeo can be selfish and Juliet can be insecure sometimes.romeo one day was having a conversation with benvolio in the book and was asking him why she was putting her beauty to a waste and not have sex with him.i feel the was bring selfish because basically all hes thinking about is his needs but truthfully maybe its that Juliet just doesn't want to have sex for the rest of her life and that's why she got chassed for that reason. a reason i find that Juliet can sometimes be insecure because she got the Chastity belt where that means that you cant have sex for the rest of your life so shes probably insecure and did that so she wouldn't have sex for th erest of her life. all together even though romeo  and Juliet is hard to read its a really good play once you understand what they say.

hurt pain and sorrow sonnet for hw

Cindy Nevaeh Collins. If only I was there.
To see you before they announced that you died.
I was no where near to even see or hear.
I felt like I wanted to cry inside.
But I held it in; whenever I come to buffalo I see your ashes
I have hurt and pain to know you’re somewhere better on the bright side.
Up with god I fell like praying for your chances.
I know you’re looking down and it makes me want to cry
But it okay because you’re in a better place which is good on the upside
I would never say goodbye because sooner or later ill be up there too but I just want to say I never stopped caring about you. And your big sister loves you.
Good bye Cindy Nevaeh Collins <3  r.i.p

red shot marilyn monroe


Marilyn Monroe was a strong survivor she
lived through all her years as they passed behind her
nearly smothered at 2 didn't know what to do
nearly raped at 6 and that didn't get fixed
lived with orphans while her mom was ill
mental institute is where she practically lived.
Marilyn's dad was nowhere to be found
left her in that dirt that dusty old pile. getting paid
a nickel let me minus by one she would use that penny
to go to church may the lord help her through all the hurt.

Marilyn Monroe was a strong survivor she lived through all her years as they passed behind her
