I did not read this week. However, we have been reading Julius Caesar in class. I thought this play was easier to understand then Romeo and Juliet, witch we read last year. I'm not sure if the writing is just easier to understand or if it's easier because I have already read Shakespeare. I have learned about Caesar in history classes and now that we are reading it in class it lets you further understand what happened. Although the things that happen in this play and exact to the things that happened then, it still gets to the point.

I changed the book i was reading, I'm no longer reading __The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner__. Instead I read __Crank__ by Ellen Hopkins. This book shows the dangers of doing drugs, when a girl named Kristina goes to see her father. Shes not sure what to expect when she gets there, but she surly didn't expect that he live in a gross small apartment in a bad under privileged neighborhood. While shes there she meets a boy; Adam, or Buddy. When he ask her what her name is she says Bree, an alter ego that she has created. They also end up falling in love, and Adam introduces her to what they call The Monster. The Monster is meth, and when Kristina, or Bree, return home she is hopelessly addicted to meth. Her and Adam keep in touch through out the book but there love doesn't last, but she does start dating two other guys. If you haven't read it I do not want to ruin the book for you so I'll just end it there. The book is writing in small poems and I think that as you read it you really start to think like Bree/Kristina. It really helps you to further understand the book and what Kristina/Bree is going through. I would prefer this book to anyone who likes something a little easier but with a great story

I have not had time to read this week. I did learn a lot about using commas though. In class I learned about different sentence structures, simple, compound, complex, and compound complex. When I was younger I learned to put commas after the words: and, but, or, etc. but this week we learned that that is only true if after one of those is an independent clause. That is a compound sentence.
