For those who have not heard of this book, it follows a freshman named Charlie, through diary entries. Charlie is "Shy,…

what book it was. Fiction, Non-fiction, Biography, Autobiography, none of it interested me at all. I also don’t have a good attention span, so if I didn’t like a book in the beginning my ears would shut off. I would stop listening to it, or I would stop remembering what I had just read. Until my freshman year, I wanted to do good in high school because high school is when grades start to matter. I had Mrs. Eischeid for my freshman year English I teacher, she told me we were reading this book…

I read the book It’s Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini. It is about a young boy who battles anxiety. The book is also full of very many lessons that are important to all of today’s teenagers.

There’s nothing high school students hate more than having to do school work over the summer. My classmates and I never had to do much. That is, until the summer before ninth grade. Upon receiving the list of potential literary works, students often based their selections on two criteria: which novel is the shortest and which one can be explained by his/her parents who’ve already read it. Assignments were distributed before the end of the prior academic year, and were to be completed based on…

Writing and marking up books is a very strange and uncomfortable concept to many people. From a very young age, people have been taught that writing in a book would take away from the literature.
