Choice Book

For my choice book I read lock and Key, by Sarah Dessen. The main character in this book is a 17 year old girl named Ruby.  She and her mother have similar features like their red hair and pale skin. Ruby was abandoned by her mother a couple of months before she was about to turn 18. She had to fend for herself for a long time. Even when her mom was still around she did everything, like paying the bills and finding something to eat.  She feels like she doesn’t have to depend on anyone and that she can take care of herself. She can be very independent, and she can also be sweet and lonely on the inside. I think Ruby is independent because she lived by herself for moths before anyone found out. She can be lonely sometimes in this book because when she has to change schools and she doesn’t know anyone there. At the end of this book Ruby changes and learns a lot.

I think this book was really good. I would recommend this to girls. I think girl would like it more than the boys would is because it has romance and family. The thing I liked the most about the book was the main character. It seemed like she wasn’t afraid of anything. She would leave school to go to her old house and see if her mom came back, or go see her old friends from her other school. One part in the book that I liked was when she went to meet her friends in the woods and she got drunk and passed out. Then the next day she woke up in her neighbor’s truck because he picked her up. Later in the book they have a little relationship, and that’s when she finds out that his dad beats on him. I think that the family has a big part in this book because Ruby starts out with a bad one and ends off with a pretty good one. At the beginning her mom drinks and smokes pot, and then she leaves Ruby all alone. So Ruby has to live with her older sister and brother in law. Then one day her teacher asked her to ask people what family means to them. By the end of the book she gets a lot of different answers but she like her sisters the best.

Duluth trip

I was stuck in the car with my family for 3 hours, I wanted to scream for help! We were almost there and everyone was excited, because we were going to Duluth for the first time. The first thing we did was go to are hotel and went swimming. After that we went back to are room and got dressed and went out to eat. When we got back to the hotel we had to go to bed, because we were going to go to Gooseberry falls. When we were there we walked on the rocks and took lots of pictures. My mom told us that we were going to make are way to the top of the waterfall, so we started to walk to the top. Me and my little brother ran a head of everyone else, and we found a path in the woods. So we started to go down it, when we came back we couldn't find the rest of are family any were!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRITNEY SAYSOULY!!!!!! <3 <3 (: (:

Vallyfair with my family

It was about two summers ago when my family thought it would be fun if we all went to valleyfair. So  my parents bought the tickets, and my mom packet the lunches. When we got there everyone ready to go and ride the rides! The first ride we went on was the crazy mouse, it was me, my mom, and my two sisters. Me and my older sister sat in the front, and my mom had to sit in the back with my little sister. The whole ride my mom and sister were screaming their heads off, and me and my sister were laughing at them. when everyone was done with that ride we went a took a old fashion photo. After we went on lots of some more rides, me and my brother went on the corkscrew. We tried to get my little sister to come with us but she was still freaked from the crazy mouse. everyone started to get hungry so we went back to the truck and had lunch. When we were done there was some pretty bad looking clouds coming are way. So we put r swimsuits on and went swimming before it started to rain. It was freezing outside but we still went on the water slides. Then it started to rain so we put are clothes back on and walked around until it stopped. After a hour with rain we kept on going on the rides, but only the ones with water, because we were already wet from the rain. When the rain finally to stop we went back on the rides. It was about time to leave but my dad wanted us all to go on the wild thing, but he only got me, my older sister, and brother to come with him. After that we went and got ice cream and then left. So that's my awesome story about the time I went to valleyfair with my family.
