Outside reading

I was sure what to blog about because I couldn't find it on edline, but my outside reading book is called Twitch and Shout by Lowell Handler and it is about tourette syndrom. The main character is Lowell and it is about his life with tourettes and what he does about it. He also travels around the country meeting people and taking pictures because he is a photographer.

One Confusion I have is...doing the work cited. I didn't really understand how to do it and I sort of got it but I felt like I was repeating a bunch. It was very confusing.

Gambling Oppostition

Other people may think that gambling is good and that it doesn't do harm to people or society but they are wrong. Gambling can be apart of almost anything. It can be in sports and give something or people a bad name. Gambling addiction can ruin a family and you can lose your friends and your job. People think gambling is fine, but it is not.

A Civil Action Review

I thought the film was good but I don't think i would watch it again. I liked the parts where the people were finding out new information to help their case, but it frustrated me when the people Jan asked questions to didn't give him good information. Overall i thought the film was pretty good.
