So just a brief update on my life :D

I've been pretty busy for the past few days.
My new school has given me an ASTONISHING amount of homework for the summer. Here is a list:
LANGUAGE ARTS
Read 3 summer reading books (2 of which were 8th grade reading at my old school...)
For one book, write a 3-page thematic essay. I chose To Kill a Mockingbird because I've written QUITE a few thematic essays on that one in my day, but never 3 typed pages long.
For another book, write a poem. Like, a thematic poem. Decorate the page that it's on. Somehow. So I chose Night by Elie Wiesel for this one-- I guess because there is so much symbolism with night and darkness and stuff. I think it turned out OK.
For the last book, design a book cover. (ACK) Color it in. The back should have a summary blurb and a quote from a fictional newspaper and a biographical blurb about the author. ACK. I chose Fahrenheit 451 because it was the only book left xD Also because it'd be fun to draw fire. I'll maybe post pictures later. Like, maybe tomorrow. Or later than that.
Then, go see a play. Write a page-long review of said play. I went to go see The Verona Project, which was bizarre but lovely.
So I'm done with the LA homework.
GEOGRAPHY:
Find a book (without using a Hufflepuff) that's set in the 20th or 21st century and NOT in America and NOT in a fantasy world.
Now write a 2-page paper about it.
D:< D:< D:< D:<
So I've read the book (though it was EXTRAORDINARILY hard to find one that matched all the criteria) but I still need to write the paper. HISS.
Anyway, off to do homeworkies now :D
BAIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

  1. What book was it??? The first one that came to my mind was Between Shades of Gray. It matches all the criteria. :D
    That is A LOT of homework.
