I have read Hunger games and really like it! It was so good i would recommend it to anybody. It was probably one of the best books i have ever read. I got recommended it by one of my cousins. I read the little synopsis about it and thought it was just okay not really worth my time, i couldn't have been more wrong.
It is a story about loyalty to your town and people, fighting and gruesome deaths, going and doing something you don't want to do. Almost anybody could pick this book up and like it...... but i don't think they will be able to put it back down.

It seems like reading Edgar Allan Poe stories around Halloween is a rite of passage for students in English classes. He wrote poems such as "The Raven" and "Annabel Lee" and stories like "The Tell-Tale Heart", "The Black Cat", "The Fall of the House of Usher", "The Cask of Amontillado", "The Masque of the Red Death", "The Pit and the Pendulum", etc.
If you have read Poe stories before, which ones have you read and what do you remember of them? Did you like them? How scary/creepy were they? Share your memories of you or teachers reading the works of Edgar Allan Poe.
If you have not read Poe or don't remember, describe to me what you expect from a classic horror writer? What kinds of stories do you think we'll be reading? Have you ever read scary stories?

Um... i am expecting a nothing head ache like Shakespeare brought. Some more sleepless nights trying to catch up with the rest of the class. Then thinking about what might be under your bead or in your closet.
Having ALL the lights on while you do it so you don't get to scared. Maybe some stories about witches or people disappearing. Creepy little goblins roaming around making a ruckus. People waking up to ghosts in there room telling them to leave and never ever come back.
Wanting to know if it is all real or if he just made it all up in his creepy but genius imagination. Waking up screaming at the top of your lungs because you had a bad dream. Not wanting to go back to bed because of it.

"How do you keep making the lights go on and off?" your pet might wonder.Write about you doing something in your house...from a pet's point of view.
All they do is sleep! I mean i wake up at night and what are they doing?! What else? Sleeping! And when i try to wake them up to say i need to go to the bathroom. They just yell at me and tell me bad dog bad! I mean if you really want me to pee in your room then i will but only if you want me to.
I hate it! They finally take me out to the dog park so that i can meet some chick and all they want me to do is run after that stupid stick of there's! I try to tell them every time before they throw it, not to throw it! But what do you think they do, of course throw it and i HAVE to go get it for them because they are to lazy to get it themselves.

Have you ever studied a skunk's eyes? Write about some item you find beauty in that many others might not.
I would have to say reading a very interesting book. There is almost nothing better then that. Especially when it is raining outside, windy so that you can hear the rain when you are inside. Snuggle under a good warm blanket and you could be there for hours.
Most people don't really like to read, or at least to admit that they like to read. But also if it is a stupid book then you don't want to read no matter what the circumstances are. There are a lot of good books out there and there are also a lot of stupid books.
