Most people look at being overweight in a negative way. However, is that the case with all overweight people, do they look at themselves in a negative way and feel empty inside? Becoming overweight is a matter of eating too much, but would someone be so miserable as skipping multiple meals or eating salads all day to meet the quota for the ideal weight. It only matters if you feel good about yourself and not wasting time counting calories or throwing up. Being overweight should not always be looked at in a negative way.

Modern day teenagers are continuously seeking for attention. This hunt for attention can most relate to teenagers in high school. If your friends are listening to certain genres of music you will try your best to copy them to "fit in".  The society of people in high school go to great lengths to be apart of this normal community. However, some high school teenagers believe in the exact opposite of "fitting in". Other people try hard to stand out by making statements that go against what people believe the society should be. Whether someone tries hard to fit in or stand out, I believe one should do whatever he pleases to feel good about themselves.

Most will conclude that a parrot and a human are two completely different things. Parrots live in a cage, eat seeds, and lay eggs. While humans are the conquerors of the world, the most intellectual beings ever to exist. However I question that statement, humans are indeed quite similar to parrots. Have you ever noticed that parrots can mimic words said by a human. I believe that concept also mainly relates to humans. We learned how to talk by mimicking our parents and in a sense our lifestyle is based off of what we see or hear. As humans we tend to copy someone else in some way shape or form, ironically we are like parrots.

The Great Gatsby- A good book with minor twists and an uninteresting plot.

       The novel takes place in the year of 1922 and begins with Nick, a young male who is naive, reckless, but has a kind heart, moving to the town of West Egg where he seeks out work and a life. Nick served in the army during the war and one would expect him to be intelligent and strong. However, in the novel it shows him as a weak character that does nothing but narrate the story. When Nick meets Gatsby, the main character who is mysterious and extremely wealthy, Nick tries to find out his past and motives for moving to west egg. Daisy, who is Nick's cousin, is hunted by Gatsby for her love, but she is already married to the wealthy Tom. The story unravels the mysterious past and mind of Gatsby as the main themes of deception and greed are portrayed throughout the plot.

Overall I think the book is a good read, but not great. The plot is boring at first and takes a long time to get interested, but if you stick with it, the book is good.

1.Drive: The Story of my Life by Larry Bird

2. Steel Tiger

3. Breaking In

Drive by Larry Bird was a great book where it describes Birds climb to the peak of his NBA career. I remember reading about the disputes of Racism and how a white guy like Larry was one of the best players out there. Larry would just stay focused no matter how much trash thrown or talked. This book had a powerful message of dedication and hard work. After reading the book i had a better understanding of putting in work and effort to everything you do.

Hello fellow classmates! My name is James Molina and I am in the 11th grade. When I'm not doing school work, I love to play basketball with my brothers or anyone that wants to play. I also have a Maltese poodle that I named Kobe after the Basketball player Kobe Bryant. Walking my dog is extremely fun and worthwhile.
