I get this text from Sheri Robinson Saying, “Hey Brinley, So I am thinking about getting Imagine Dragons tickets for Halle on her Birthday but as a surprise. She mentioned you and Allie were thinking about going too...what are your thoughts of making this a surprise for Halle and I can take you all?” Once I received this text, i was ecstatic! This was going to be thrilling! I replied to Sheri, and called Allie immediately. We talk about it and how we were overjoyed. “What a great 16th Birthday!” I thought to myself. I just was so worried about keeping this secret from Halle. I decided to text her and tell her that my mom would not let me go, so it was out of the books for me. Allie did the same. This was going to be so hard! It is now August and school is starting up again and Halle still would not shut up about the concert. She keeps asking her mom about it and her mom says that the tickets are too expensive. She is determined to go to this concert. I thought she knew for sure because she kept mentioning it.

We get right to work, sorting through clothes. This is going to take

The Devils Arithmetic actually referred to the book and the movie the Nazis were the devils, and the numbers the Nazis tattooed on the Jews were the Arithmetic.…

    In the essay ‘Take Me out of Their Ball Game’ by Maria Guhde Keri, the author illustrates a prevalent situation in any child's life, “Did you ever walk into a room where kids are playing, say, a board game? They're animated, excited, totally focused on what they're doing. When you appear, they stiffen, grow quiet, and appear confused. An adult is watching, and suddenly the game and rules are changed-maybe even ruined.” In this scenario the presence of an authority figure sours the mood.…
