Worst Christmas Present


Worst Christmas Present

I waited at the top of the steps with my two brothers, Wilson and Charlie. Asking
every two seconds, “Can we come down now!?” and got turned down every time.

Finally we got the reply we wanted, my mom yelled, “ You can come down
now!”
We all raced down the stairs pushing each other trying to get to the tree first.
Once we made it down my brothers and I stared in amazement at the lit-up tree and
the pile of presents around it. Then we all sat around the tree wanting to open up our presents. This year my dad was Santa, and he decided to go from youngest to oldest.My younger brother, Charlie opened up his first present, which was a remote controlled car. We all oooed and ahhhed, then finally I got to open up mine. My dad handed me the small gift from my grandma Susu and quickly I opened it.

“Socks!” I said as I opened the gift.

“Awww, that was so nice of her!” my mom said, of coarse

“Yeahhhhh” I said trying to sound happy as I stared at the multi colored knee

socks.

Pretty Little Liars


The Book, Pretty Little liars By: Sara Shepard, was about 4 girls that used to be friends, but once Allison, one of the friend suddenly disappeared they spit apart. Three years later, the girls started to get text messages from someone named A, about their secrets that they have only shared with Allison. They soon wonder if Allison is back or if she shared their secrets with someone else.

This book was good because it kept you wanting to keep reading. Usually while I read book I get bored with then and et sick of reading it, but not with this book. It was fill with cliff hangers that made you want to keep reading. The book was also written very well, helping you connect with the character and understand how he/she is feeling.

This book was bad because at some points it was a little inappropriate. Their was too much sexual content in the book, it would have been better if they left it out making it available for a wider range age groups. At times the book was also too descriptive, making you want to skip through parts of great detail. Overall I thought the book had more good qualities rather than bad qualities.

I think that teenage girls (14 up) would enjoy this book. I think this book is best for a teenage girl because they would relate to the characters better, and they story would be more interesting for them. I think it is also best that a 10 year old didn’t read this book because at some points it can be inappropriate. This book would also be good for someone who likes realistic fiction.

Is Sucker "Damaged Goods?"

Yes, I think that sucker is damaged goods, and will always be damaged goods. I think this because he looked up to Pete so much and pete just tore him down. Since Sucker looked up to Pete, he believed every thing Pete said to him and now he looked down on himself. This is why Sucker is damaged goods.

Sucker Review

I thought that Sucker was a boring, lifeless story. The plot to the story was very boring and it was a very slow story that didn't have much action. Through our the book Pete kept on complaining about his life and how horrible it was. I thought that it was annoying because he actually had a very nice life. The story also annoyed me because Pete was so mean to Sucker for no reason at all.
