Diary of an Anorexic Girl

Author: Morgan Menzie

Genre: Suspense, Real Life

(176 pages)

The setting of this story is not really known at the beginning, but it starts off by Blythe receiving a diary from his grand-father. In this diary, Blythe writes down all her thoughts and her opinions on her family, best friends, and a girl named Laurie. Laurie has caught Blythe's attention since she began drinking excessive amounts of water, runs an extra mile everyday, and has stopped eating lunch. Blythe is surprised at this, and wants to do the same thing not knowing what she will get herself into. So far, this book has captivated my attention and I think that reading it as a diary makes it a little more entertaining as well.

"Akeelah and the Bee" - Part 2

I definitely enjoyed the movie "Akeelah and the Bee". At the beginning I was not so sure if the movie was going to be entertaining, but I have to admit after finishing watching it I would surely recommend it to people I know. I loved how it ended and how it is the kind of movie that doesn't leave you wanting for more. Watching Akeelah learn new words also helped me be more familiar with words I have never heard of, and I am sure if I watched this movie a couple more times I could memorize some of them more easily.
