the true meaning of smeckland

wow. wow wow wow wow wow. strange book. a girl named gratuity quite literally saves the world from a bunch of aliens called gorgs. im not much of an alien type, but this book was AMAZING. at first gratuitys mom has some type of tracker placed on the back of her neck. an alien race called the Boov come and take her away to help them learn the english language (though we dont figure this out till later) the boov order all americans to florida Most people get there by a teleporter machine. gratuity decides to drive there even thought she is only 11. Turns out that the Boov liked Florida and relocated the americans to arizona. Gratuity doesnt know this. on the way to florida she meets a boov, who because no human can pronounce his Boov name, is named J.Lo.They drive to arizona and meet a bunch of people along the way and was just a REALLy good book. at the end though, this guy named Daniel Landry tells everyone it was him who saved the world. Gratuity tells you about how the press now follow him EVERYWHERE and report his every move. She says that she really doesnt mind that people dont know that it was her. Because shes only eleven and she SAVED THE WORLD. Not ever again will she do something as great. never. She still has ALOT of time to live. O i forgot to mention that this book was written as a time capsule. anyway. its true. she saved the world and will never ever ever do something even close to something as great as that. i was wondering what i would do if i were in that situation. I would probably say that I did save the world without thinking about it, and regret it later. maybe.

Stealing Henry

I just started this book and was wonderig about the name. I'm guessing now that because the main character ran from her step fathers house. She took her little brother Henry with her. I'm pretty sure that this girl, Savana, is supposed to be in college because she was talking about how her, I guess you could call it her boyfriend, went to college. She ran away from her house. I wonder where her mom is because she said er mom gave her money that morning. Hmmmmm.

Wow. So Hiram finally went back to Mississippi. After all those years in Arizona with his dad his mom and many siblings. His grandpa is actually pretty racist with all his black workers. What about Hiram? Will he grow up to be like his dad? Totally against racism? Or like his grandpa? Totally racist? I'm betting the murder will make him see his grandpa and dad in a different light.

No way! That's the reason the dad is digging up the front yard! He's making a fallout center shelter! He's was alive during world war 2 and was worried about them dropping more bombs in the Vietnam war like the german did in WW2! It just goes to show you what war does to people. Makes them paranoid. All they can think about is building extra precautions because their afraid that whatever happened in the first war. It's just sad.

Ok wow. " Creepy Clolvig " the neighborhoods well, you can probably guess by his name. But he's that old man that lives in the neighborhood and smells funny, he's scary and people avoid him cause he's downright mean. The two brothers, Danny, the younger brother and main character, and his older brother Beau. Anyway, they had picked up glass bottles and turned them in for money. With that money they each bought about 2 handfuls of candy each! They only turned in six bottles! Now a days you pick up a couple of tin cans and get ten cents for each! 60 cents is how what they got! Not nearly enough for handfuls of candy in the 21 century! It's either candy costs alot more now, or glass bottles are alot less expensive then they were 30 years ago! Well the two brothers took the cart they had collected in to a hill. Danny jumped in with the 6 bottles that weren't accepted and tire downhill. He couldn't stop, he just kept going and he made it across the bridge, up the hill, and started heading. Straight for the Colvig house! Then " by some miracle" the cart tipped over and he fell to the ground. His brother ran up and started raving about how Danny was the first person to cross the bridge and go up the hill. Danny not thinking about what he was doing, took a glass bottle and threw it up in the air and when it fell, watched it shatter. A million tiny glass shards catching the light. I can't even begin to imagine just how wonderful that would look, but it must be stunning.

The Year Of The Hangman

So year of the hangman. All about what would happen if we DIDN'T win the revolutionary war. Creighton is the name of the main character. I can't believe it. When this boy was 11 he went to see his first hanging. He and his friends skipped school to see it! They said they saw small children there! That's just wrong. He's 15 sneaking out t gamble at a pub. Dnt these men realize this boy shouldn't be out this late GAMBLING!!! I mean come on!

The Who

That's hilarious!!! You had Pete Townshend the guitarist smashing his guitar in the walls, Roger Daltrey the singer swinging his mic like a lasso, and Kieth Moon the crazy drummer just going absolutely berserk on the drums, while our bassist John Entwisle stood there with no expression or motion except for his fingers. Its talking about the whole process of replacing band members during The Who's early years. What happens when a band becomes famous and the guitarist despises the drummer? Every member of a rock band is crucial to it's music, if you didn't have a singer no lyrics, no guitar no electryfing cords being played etc. You can't get rid of a member when your famous because the fans that had always said that member was there favorite, would no longer be a fan. I guess they had to just deal with it.
