Colfax Poem

We walk down the street, slowly ambling down picking up trash.
I wonder what the people here think of their street.
It seems..
old,
strange,
scary,
different.
We make assumptions.
We think that the people here are poor, unhappy.
Some must be, but others are happy.
they see the good, the light in the darkness.
A smiling face among the old, rundown houses.
She is happy this thanksgiving.

les misérable

les misérable
by Victor Hugo
Les Mis, a 1,463 page book takes a LONG time to even read just the beginning so this is what I have read so far.
Basically in the beginning it doesn't really have a clear story to follow but it says a lot about the bishop and how he lets his mansion  be used as a hospital and goes to live in the old hospital. it also follows another man as he travels to Digne, France. The whole story take place in France. So far, this book is really confusing and i don't really know whats going on but I think that It will get better.

Rethinking Normal

This book follows the story of Katie, who was a transgender boy until she turned 18 and transitioned to being a girl. It follows her life through collage and talks about her facing depression, bullying and happiness.

this book does have mature language and topics but it is a really good and eye opening book to read.

the curious incident of the dog in the night time

This book follows the story of a 15 year old boy named Christopher who has autism and is following the case of who killed his neighbors dog, Wellington but by the end, he finds out that the people he thought that he trusted are not people he can trust anymore an he ends up facing a lot of his fears. I think that although  he did face his fears I was not super satisfied with the end of this book because through the whole book he lacked lots of emotion.It did however,  make you see how other people see the world.

I would recommend this book to sloan and Fyodor
