Are movies and books really the same? In The Book Thief, the relationships between the characters in the film are represented just as well as in the book.

In the book, they first meet on the street when they were playing soccer and became…

A few weeks ago I read Charlotte's Web by E. B. White. It was an interesting book considering it was the first time I read it. I've seen the movie multiple times when I was younger.

Over time the level in which I was supposed to read at, and the level I did read at grew far apart.…

Username: Master_O_Blocks Age: 15 Timezone: EST Why should you be accepted as a staff member?: I believe I should be accepted as a staff member for a few reasons. For starters, I have vast knowledge of how the server is run and I know the ropes of things. My past experience as staff on AC has taught me a lot about what sorta things are done “behind the scenes” and how one must go about certain situations or instances. For the most part, I consider myself generally kind to most everyone I…
