I just want to say how terrible that sarahah app is. It is degrading and humiliating. I told myself I wasn't going to download it after what happened with ask.fm. But I finally gave in to the trend. I had the app for 3 hours. I got only one post, and it was possibly the meanest thing anyone could ever say to me. We are adults. Why don't we act like ones? If you have nothing nice to say about me, then at least say it to my face. Go post it on my Facebook wall. Don't do it anonymously, that just makes you a coward. PARENTS: MONITOR YOUR CHILDREN. If they have this app check to make sure that no one is telling them to go kill themselves, like it has happened in other states. People are mean. We need to stop this epidemic.
I just recently finished "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak. I had no idea what this novel was going to be about going into it; all I knew was that our 10th grade English class study it. Right off the bat I noticed that our narrator was not your average Joe. The narrator is death. When I realized this I said to myself, "Oh this is going to be good." The novel is all about the Holocaust and it is shown from a German point of view. Leisel Meminger's mother gives her away to a foster German family. On the trip to this new family, Leisel's brother dies. So right from the start death is there. I'm not going to give you a synopsis of it, because I think you should read it for yourself. Just know that a German family hides a Jew in their basement for a while, and death is around every corner. That last line of the novel really got me though..."I am haunted by humans."
