Kathryn Gordy has been accepted into one of the finest boarding schools while her parents are away on vacation.Atfirst she is terribly excited because her best friend Tracy is accompaning her.This adventure could not get any better for the both of them.Sadly, as they receive their welcome letters,the ambicious girls find out that one of them, was not accepted into Blackwood.Devistated, Kit refuses to leave her "sister" behind for months to come.Unfortunitely, she must go.Finally as her mother and Dan-Kit's mom's husband-draws the car to a stop, she figures they are at Blackwood, but to her surprise Kit, her mother and Dan were at a gas station.It was as if they were in a ghost town.Not a person in sight.Except for the gasman."Hello,"he welcomed them with a warm smile and emediately only Ms.Gordy and Dan felt at home,"how may I help you this fine evening?"As the contagious smile reacted Kit's mother, she asked where Blackwood was.They were taught it was literally right down the road.They thanked him and left.Suddenly as they finally found Blackwood and were driving closer and closer, Kit felt a sudden chill and began to be frightened.She knew there was something strange and peculiar about this place but she could not yet find the correct word for it.You see as the car drew closer the fear in Kit grew wider and finally she found the right word....she wailed to her mother and pleaded to go back for she could not stay in this house.Sadly her mother and Dan refused, they hadn't seen anything the matter.Alll this time kicking,screaming , and wailing, she had thought of the word.....evil.They walked in got greeted and suddenly Kit changed her mind about this place.Inside it felt subtle and warming.She felt at ease.As the days past new comers arrived but, to Kit's surprise there only came three other girls.Kit had imagined tons and tons of girls running down the hall having a splendid time.She didn't mind it, three is better than none.Ruth, Lynda, and Sandy were their names.Her favorite was a short, red head, Sandy.She was kind hearted yet a bit shy.Ruth on the other hand was just the opposite.She was not afraid to share what was in her brainiack head.Lynda was sweet and sassy,walk into her room and you will be bombarded with makeup and beautiful clothing.Lynda and Ruth fit eachothers personalities just right.Ruth needed a bit of sass and Lynda needed some brains.A few months in Blackwood past and strangely, there were a couple dreams here and there.She tried explaining them to the hottie music teacher, Jules.His eyes shined beautifully and black hair, gorgeous.He basically told her that dreams are normal especially in Blackwood.But honestly they weren't dreams at all....they were nightmares.Weird and unexplainable things were occuring at Blackwood.Things that Kit could not understand.Kit new something was going on.She tolerated it until one night...She demanded to awake everyone and explain what was happening.When they finally came down,all except for Lynda because she was basically hypnotized in a deep dark transformation, Madame Duret(the head mistress of Blackwood)was forced to share the news.Basically summing it all up....the girls were to be possesed overnight.In rage Kit threw away every valuable information to Madame Duret in the fire.Shockingly the fire started up and grew onto the curtains.There was a fire in Blackwood....                                                                                                                                   I loved this book a lot because to me, this topic which fits perfectly in with horror and mistery wasjust amazing.Its a bit more clear if you actually read the book.I would most definitely recommend this book to a friend.Its just so draw dropping and cliff hanging that on the last page you'll wish there was more.Down a Dark Hall is truly one of the best books I have ever read.Hopefully you will love it aswell.                                                                                                                                           In the end what do you think happened to Lynda?Would you like to read this book?How would you feel if this unexplainable things happened to you if you were away to boarding school?

Happiness Over Starvation

Today in America people eat for happiness.The percentage of adults twenty and over that are obese is 69.2 %.The reason is more than three quarters of these men and women eat for fun, not when they are hungry.What about the children in Africa who are starving with diseases and health problems?Who is watching out for them?Why are we sitting here and waiting for something to happen when we have to make the first step?Yes, there are some camps but the government doesnt put enough money towards them.It isnt just in Africa, starvation is everywhere.And we all know that world hunger won't end tomorrow , but we can start doing something more than just eating for the fun of it.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Honestly, in my opinion something needs to be done about this.We dont want to be known for survival of the fittest.That isnt right.We need to help or fellow friends for the better.Ever heard of the greater good?Exactly, make a difference for someone other than yourself.Who knows you might recieve something in return.                                                            How do you feel about all this? What are you willing to do?

Best of 2013!!!

2013 was amazing.So many extroardinary and exciting things happened.Like Paul Walker's death, "What Does The Fox Say?!", Boston Marrathon, etc.All of this was literally a punch in the face exspecially how fast 2013 went by.                                                                  First it was ....When two pressure cookers exploded near the finish line of the Boston Marathon on April 15, the blast killed three people, injured more than 260 others, and put an entire nation on edge. The bombs — a crude mix of nails and shrapnel that tore through the crowd of cheering spectators, volunteers and proud, almost-finished runners — instantly transformed a moment of shared joy into one of collective terror. On April 17, the FBI sought the public’s help in identifying grainy surveillance images of two young men thought to be the perpetrators. The search took a violent turn just hours later when brothers Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev allegedly shot and killed an MIT police officer and then exchanged fire with police as they tried to escape in a hijacked SUV. Tamerlan, 26, was killed in the fracas; his younger brother, Dzhokhar, 19, managed to escape. As day broke April 18, state officials shut down Boston area public transit and urged residents to “shelter in place” behind locked doors, effectively paralyzing a major American city. Police ultimately found a bloodied and dazed Dzhokhar hiding in a small boat, in which he allegedly wrote pro-Islamist messages with his own blood. He has pleaded “not guilty” to 30 charges related to the bombing, including 17 punishable by death. —Noah Rayman Read more: Top 10 Everything of 2013 - U.S. News Stories | TIME.com  http://nation.time.com/2013/12/04/top-10-best-u-s-news-stories/  ^^^^^More info  here^^^^^

Spending ThanksGiving With the Fam

Thanksgiving is a national holiday celebrated primarily in Canada and the United States as a day of thanks and blessing of the harvest that was proceeded this year.This is a day to spend time with family and friends.As we all sit by the table and remember the good times. Thankgiving shows us how important that is.Parades and festivals occur in honor of this special day.Schools, businesses,and post offiices are closed.                                                                                           In my opinion I think a lot more people should really focus on the importance of  this holiday.Yes, theres parades and no school ,but honestly most children probably stay home not caring and even if they did go to their families, Thanksgiving doesnt mean that much  to them.Schools need to teach more about this topic because its something that happened in our history that we should not forget.                                                                                                            

                                                  What is your opinion on Thanksgiving?
