Book review
The Hobbit: Or There and Back Again by J.R.R. TolkienMy review
rating: 5 of 5 starsJ.R.R.Tolkien, who is the author of the amazing series "The Lord of The Rings" and its classic preulde "The Hobbit." The delightful hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, is one who is very settled and peaceful. One fateful day, which seemed as normal as any other, A wizard by the name of Gandalf appears bringing foreboding of adventure, setting in motion many events to unfold. Although this read is sometimes difficult to follow, this enchanting novel provides entertainment and many clever comedic quips. I recomment this to any and all that haven't read it.

Last English 11 quarter
The previous quarter of English was rather nice. Through all the juggling of projects I feel like i learned a little bit. I just can't get over the number of projects we did though. The lit circle was ok. The vocab wasn't bad. An essay about my past? Sure. Keeping up with blogger and goodreads?? Ok maybe it got a little rediculous, but all in all it was a good time.
Sunrise Over Fallujah
Today's group discussion included many heated opinions about the controversial topic of The Iraq Invasion. Many views were shared but one stood out: What if we never invaded? While we were discussing i had an epiphany. If we had not invaded it would have left room for an invasion, or at least another attack, by them. It would incite an all out war between us. Whether that is for better or worse is undecidable.

The Dangers Of Conformity
Toward the end of the book, Josh, Jericho's cousin, Had jumped from a building. Inebriated from alcohol, he was unable to veer towards the safety cushion and crushed his skull on a rock. He shortly died thereafter just showing that your life isnt worth being accepted. You can always make friends who value your opinions and morals for who you are, not what they want you to be.
