So I’ve been reading a book called “Lord of Dark Places” by Hal Bennett. I can’t quite think of an adjective to describe it besides ridiculous.  It starts out with a kid (who I believe to be the protagonist) named Joe Market playing in the river and his dad telling him how he just fucked his mother to death. Yeah...

His father, Titus Market then starts a religion with Joe, 13 at the time, as the central figure. One more thing, every time Titus preaches, Joe gets naked and has the audience stare in awe at his naked body (and allegedly huge "tail"). After the sermon, Joe becomes a whore and people pay to have sex with “The Naked Disciple.”

That’s pretty much everything that’s happened so far. He smokes some pot and has lots of sex.

If you didn't catch that above when ever anyone refers to a penis (including the narrator) its called a “tail.” Hilarious.

This is all 30 or so pages into the book

PS: I just finished  book called Josie and Jack, and I recommend it to anyone who like dark, creepily addictive books. It was real good like.

Heres the essay I wrote on the Crips. I worked on it quite a bit and am reletivly proud of it.

So we, english 9 orange, have been reading Hamlet for a bit. It's quite interesting despite the difficult language. To help with understand the text, we each have a Hamlet audio playlist for listening, and we've been watching the movie in class. The movie has been helping the most. Unfortunately almost daily we take a quiz regarding what we were to read the night before. The quiz has about 3-4 quotes from the text, and asks us to translate the text into modern language, and then explain its significants. These quizzes haven't been adding anything to my learning nor have been enriching the text, in fact I find the book less enjoyable to read when I know I'm going to be tested on the matter the following day. In the end, I'll just be glad to be finished with Shakespeare.

 That in and of itself is basically all English class has been for the past few weeks. Reading Hamlet, talking about Hamlet, watching the movie Hamlet and taking quizzes on Hamlet. I wonder what'll we be doing next. I hope it'll be more enjoyable than this. For some reason, and I'm not the only one who thinks like this, reading a book for school, no matter what the book is, is so much less enjoyable than reading the same book on your own time. Its the idea of being forced to do something, anything, that takes so much away from reading and enjoying a book.

We had to do a lab on Yeast and respiration with a chosen Variable that the result are yet untested.

My variable was carob vs chocolate and which would produce more respiration.

If I had to do all this again, I don't believe my project would differ. 

For English we had to write an essay about the book we read, Kindred.

I wrote about how the protagonist's past life affect her current enviorment. 

If I were to somehow get thrown into the past my self and be forced to do this again, I belive the end product will be the same
