1) Maggie Stiefvater is the author of this book. Maggie writes alot of books. Most on mystical creatures like faeries,ware wolfs and stuff like that.
2) The main characters of Linger is Grace, and Sam. Grace is more of dramatic character. Sam is more of a static character.
3) The novels setting is a small town on the edge of the woods. In my opinion is that she choose a great setting for this book because it suits the whole story and its more likely for them to find wolves there.
4) Some of the main events of the book is when Grace was getting eaten by wolves and survived.When Sam(ware wolf) got to meet Grace (he was in wolf form). When the hunters went after the wolves. the climax right now is the part that I'm at right now. Sam is trying to stay human and Grace and Sam are kind of dating.
5) The scenes that I remember most. One of them is when the hunters went after the werewolves and Sam got shoot and ended up on Graces back porch. The other one is when Sam and Grace kiss for the first time.

Animal Farm
In my opinion I think that it was somewhat interesting. My personal favorite part of the story was when Napoleon got his dogs to chase Snowball away. I liked that part because that's when everything went wrong and plus after it happened everything got more intense. Personally I think that Animal Farm wasn't a compete waste of time I did like it, just not that much. It was definitely worth while because I learned more words and I think I gained from reading this book.

points: 1. boys and girls help calm each other down sometimes when none else can
2. boys make girls feel safe
3. girls make guys prideful
If guys and girls went to separate schools it would not help them learn. Guys and girls make them calm down when no one else can. Boys make girls feel safe. Girls make guys more prideful.

If your like me then you have no friends that live near you so you walk home alone most of the time. I have gotten in many fights and the only way I got through them is I found a guy that lived near me and i felt safe.

Hi Laura,
Yes blogs are helpful in English class. They waste less paper and therefore creates (creates?) less pollution. They are easier for the teacher and the student. Better for spelling and they make it easier to read (an incomplete sentence)
Blogs are more environment smart (usually we say 'environmentally friendly') because they use less paper therefore (something seems to be missing here) less pollution. Kids these days get an assignment on paper write it out on paper (you repeat 'on paper' twice) and then throw it out. All they are doing is killing trees and the environment. Then with blogs the kids can add their teacher on their blogs the teacher can post the assignment on the blogs and kids can type away (this last sentence looks like two put together) . Its (It's=it is)way more efficient.
Blogs are also make it easier on everyone. Since kids these days love technology they can relax in their chair knowing that they know what their (they're=they are) supposed to do. So in a way it helps out everyone.
Teens these days have very messy writing and puts stress (which puts stress) on the teacher trying to read it. So with blogs it makes the writing neat and fixes the mistakes. Without blogs there is messy writing and spelling mistakes. stress on everyone. With them not as much stress. (Both of the last two sentences are incomplete)

Small Insparation
In the beggining of this text my thoughts were wow this is kind of like my life when i was younger except for the fact instead of a younger it was older, and instead of father it was mother.
In the middle I was thinking wow the little sister is kind of like me in some ways and the older sister is kind of like my older sisters too.
In the end I was thinking wow thats horrible I realized that is what my brother lived though a bit.
My overall thoughts of the story was wow those kids suffer through alot and it reminds me on how my life was when my mom was not with my step-dad

Courage :)(;
Last winter my family and I went to Eliot Lake to visit the family. My grandpa has the idea to blow up a tube tie it to the back of his jeep and drag us girls behind the jeep. Of course my sisters are all for it but, me on the other hand saw it as dangerous. So they talked me into it and I was on top of everyone and holding them in the tube. it was horrible. I was so scared. In the end I discovered i had the courage to face my fears. I also ended up having tones of fun too. So mental note don't be afraid to try new things because you just might end up liking it. :)
When you feel courage you feel like you just concored a fear like u accoplished something that was impossible. It feels great. :)
