Thursday, October 10, 2013. Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. Lead: It is my first morning of high school. I have seven new notebooks, a skirt I hate, and a stomachache. I need a new friend. I need a friend, period. Not a true friend, nothing close or share clothes or sleepover giggle giggle yak yak. Just a pseudo-friend, disposable friend. Friend as accessory.

Saturday, January 28, 2012. To an God Unknown by John Steinbeck. Three weeks before Thanksgiving the evenings were red on the mountaintops toward the sea, and the bristling, officious wind raked the valley and sang around the house corners at night and flapped the window shades, and the little whirlwinds took columns of dust and leaves down the road like reeling soldiers. Every night the sky burned over the sea and the clouds massed and deployed, charged and retreated in practice for the winter. I find t...

Thursday, February 21, 2013. I Had Seen Castles by Cynthia Rylant. The bombs that dropped on Hawaii sent a shock wave straight into the outraged soul of every man in American, and like Neanderthals, we had a primitive, fearless, screaming desire to kill. After the Nazis decimated our pitiful army a few times with their monstrous panzer tanks and eighty-millimeter guns, it occurred to us that we were- as we had known from the start, but not until now so cruelly- in very serious trouble.
