“Which was worse, to walk around with everything held inside so that no one really knew you? Or to have these feelings exposed to the whole world?”

I think what would be worse is to tell everyone everything. If you did that, everyone would know all of your secrets, everything. People could spread rumors about you and hold things against you. Like if someone did something bad, and you knew of it and said you were going to tell someone, they could blackmail you with what they know of you. I just dont't think that I would want to do that.

English

I'm not exactly sure if I want to do honors or CP English. I like English and I think I'm pretty good at it since this English class is pretty easy for me. But, I didn't do honors challenge this year. And, I don't like presenting anything. So, I'm not sure which one I should do. I don't know what honors English is like or how hard it is. So I don't really know...

Immigrating Teens Movie

People are always immigrating into the United States. Some reasons that they come here are that they want freedom. Some countries don't have freedom like we do. Another reason is to leave hard times or war or something. Also, to have a better life and become successful. You can get a job here and a good education and such. So those are some reasons why people immigrate into the United States.

Teen Immigrants

Teens who move to different countries have a lot of difficulties. An example is having a whole new culture. Like trying to keep your culture while everyone else around you has a completely different one. Also, language. If you speak a different language than the country you moved to, there's no way to communicate unless you learn the language. Those are some difficulties they would encounter.

Children of the River

So far, I like Children of the River. A question I have is: In the beginning when Sundara was on the boat with the family, was that a flashback? Another question I have was what happened to the baby that Sundara was trying to save? And also, what grade and how old is Sundara? Those are some question I have about Children of the River.

Holiday

If I were to invent a holiday, I would invent Daughter;s Day. I would do this because there is a Mother's Day and Father's day but no Daughter's Day. There should be one for Daughters where you can get appreciated. Presents are always nice, too. (: Daughter's Day should be a real holiday.
