Letter to the President

With all the issues floating around regarding the presidential election, I want to express my opinion on the candidate I think will win, Barack Obama. I support him on many issues, such as, withdrawing the American troops from Iraq, views on diplomacy, abortion, same-sex marriage, and global warming. Obama has my full support and I know he would be the best choice for our nation.

My opion of sci-fi

For English 10 I read The Time Machine. This novel is a science-fiction book by H.G. Wells. I enjoyed The Time Machine and found this novel was a good way to get lost in another world. With all the science involved in the story, this genre is very complicated and I will probably stick to fantasy for my escapes to those worlds so different to ours. Even though I struggled to wrap my mind around the science part of The Time Machine ,or any other science-fiction book, the story line of the book was very interesting. With twists and turns, thoughts and theories, the reader is constinently on the edge of their seat.


I am new to this genre but have read a few novels. The spotlight, for my generation, seems to have shifted to a different genre than sci-fi. Reading the classics of sci-fi will ensure to keep this genre alive and expand our imaginations. This creative genre will help us think outside the box and possible lead to scientific discoveries.

Tornadoes threaten when she looses her temper.

On top of all the normal conflicts, she has to learn how to control her emotions. If she can't, on a bad day she may blow away the school with a tornado. This year, she will discover just how much self-control she has. Will she conquer anger or strike a foe down with a bolt of lightning?
