The Bestish Worstish Day Ever

                                                    October 21, 2014
Dear Diary.
 Today I didn't go to school. That's the good part. The bad part is that I didn't go to school because of a peculiar rash that has gotten worse. Because I have the rash I went to my grandparents house and read my book: Midnight for Charlie Bone. It's  about a boy that is endowed, but doesn't want to be since if he is like this he will have to go to a school for geniuses and will have only weekends to visit his family and friends. There is a box he receives from a woman. She says whatever is in that box a baby was traded for it and Charlie is set out to find the baby. Anyway, I quickly left to the doctor's office still reading. When I arrived I started playing with little kid toys(no offense little kids that probably don't even read my site). The visit ended up in me signing for my medication. Did you read clearly? If you read that I signed for my medicine you read correctly. Well that is it for today. 

                           Love,Lila

Problem... Not Solved! :-(

What appeared to have been fixed was actually always broken. You know how I told you that they had given us permission slips for the buses, well the mayor had given enough money to give buses to forty parents that signed up (me in that list). After giving the slips to the whole school there is no longer enough money to cover buses for all of us. Now, what used to be a strong army of fire-breathing parents is nothing but a flame that is dying out. Soon when the votes are in for the B.O.E, . they will no longer hear our pleads for justice. Therefore, on November 4th vote for Mr. Justice.

Problem...Solved!

They gave us the buses. The night before I had been at a meeting about the situation, but they hadn't decided. The next day they gave us a permission slip for anyone who wanted to use the buses, but they still haven't given us the buses. I think they're just working out the schedule. Well that's all I wanted to say to not keep you hanging anymore.

WE NEED BUSES!

Today I went to my first protest. I had to wake up at about 8:30 am. Ugh. I woke up,went downstairs,  and made posters. I went to City Hall and started protesting. By the way we were all protesting for buses for kids going to the high school Saint Josephs, since my school Harry L. Bain was being demolished and rebuilt. At first I thought that the mayor was going to come out but after a while my Dad explained that we were here for publicity. That if we attracted attention to the cameras other people would see our situation and that would put pressure on our mayor and we had him. Also, I ask you to help us. Tell your friends and family. If enough of you pitch in we all can win and we will get our buses.

London

August 21, 2014

 I  had just arrived in London and I was tired. Although I just wanted to fall asleep I couldn't because I had a long day ahead of me. First, I went to Shakespeare's Globe where I saw one of his plays, Antony and Cleopatra. I watched for a bit then fell asleep. Later, I went to Cabrera Infante's house where I met his wife, Miriam Gómez. The house was filled with books. There was shelf that reached the ceiling. She also had a stack of movies. Again I fell asleep until we had to leave at which point she recommended we ate in a restaurant where Lady Di used to eat. It was an Italian restaurant called Da Mario. E.O.T.D( End of The Day)

My First Book Review

Guess what...chicken butt. Joking. Actually I wanted to tell you that I was asked to write a review for a Penguin book. I hope you enjoy it and comment it.:

Matt London’s first book of the series of “The 8^th Continent” is a mix of two very important subjects: ecology and freedom through a new land. Evie Lane and her brother Rick live in a trash-filled planet in which rules “rule.” They decide to search for the Eden Compound, a liquid that transforms garbage into natural materials, to create an 8^th continent that shall allow them to escape their horrid world of absurd rules. In their journey they must face their advantaged arch-nemesis, Vesuvia Piffle, who wants to use the Eden Compound for her petty needs. In their adventures they must help Dr. Grant, their dad’s partner, find the ingredients for the formula and think quickly to break loose of Vesuvia’s grasps of doom!  I love how Evie and Rick stop for no one, and they are as determined as mosquitos are to suck your blood. Evie always comes up with wacky plans and is very adventurous. In a way, their quest to a new land of freedom for them and the animals seems to mirror the Pilgrims’ journey to America. Everything ends happily ever after…until the next book. London’s imagination makes the reader cling to the book like there is superglue on their fingers.
