What I'm Grateful For

     Thanksgiving is around the corner and for me there are many things that I am grateful for. I am grateful for my health, food, sleep, education, family and friends, and all the fandoms I am in. If it weren't for my health I wouldn't be writing this right now, it's an important asset to our lives. I am grateful for food and sleep because I love both and I enjoy both. My family and friends help me throughout my life and have always been there for me. My education is something that I don't appreciate as much as should and do sometimes take it for granted. There are so many children in the world that don't have the opportunity to learn and I do, that's why I am grateful for it. The last thing I am grateful for is very weird. The fandoms I am in are very important because they have formed who I am and I know I can always turn to them. It's weird but I am thankful to have them in my life. All in all there are many things to be grateful for and they change based on the person, but this is what I am grateful for.

Election Reflection

     The presidential election just passed and we all know the results, Donald Trump is the winner. In general I don't really have an opinion, I am just happy that it is over and we finally know who the next President is going be. Now for my opinion on the results of this election, I personally don't like them. I think I wouldn't be satisfied if  Hillary Clinton won either, to me both have their pros and cons. Trump has some questionable thoughts on relevant issues and Clinton mishandled top secret information. On some national issues I don't agree with Clinton, on others I agree with Trump, and on some with neither.

     I like politics but I wouldn't want to have a job in that field, it's a dirty game. I think that I am involved in politics enough because I get to state my own opinion. I am excited for the next election but at the same time I am not. The reason behind that is because we might have to go through another race like the one we just had and it was kind of stressful, but we will also get to have a chance to elect the people who run the country.

Thirteen Reasons Why-Kimberly Brubaker Bradley

     The most recent book I have read is called "Thirteen Reasons Why" by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley. This is a young adult fiction novel and it is very interesting. It is about a teenage girl named Hannah Baker who committed suicide and left behind some tapes she recorded. They are sent to different people who in someway had something to do with her suicide. This novel is in the point of view of one person, Clay Jensen. Clay is one of the people who Hannah's tapes were sent to, but he doesn't understand how he affected Hannah. "Thirteen Reasons Why" takes you along in Clay's journey while he is trying to understand who his peers truly are.

      I personally really enjoyed reading this book because it is fast paced but detailed at the same time. It isn't pouring with so many details that the story line barely moves along. To me it has the right amount of details that you know exactly what is happening and the story line still moves on. This book to me seems like a Wattpad book because of the way the characters are. In some Wattpad books the characters seem very realistic and do actions that you and I would do, that is how the characters in this book are.
