                                  Do Furries Deserve Hate They Recieve?                                                                               By: Akeel Dixon If you clicked on this blog post I don't know why most people would avoid this topic the millisecond they get. But, my post will be about whether this Fandom deserves the hate, so stick around and read a bit longer. A fandom is a safe space or community for people who respect certain things like comics, movies, video games, etc. For the basics, the definition of furries is a group of people who appreciate anthropomorphic or cartoon animal characters. In this blog, I'm gonna be talking about why ...

Review of The Martian Matt Damon starring in the film adaption of The Martian             ‘I’m pretty much f****d’ . . . The first line in Andy Weir’s hit novel, The Martian , might slightly put you off. It did for me, or rather, mostly my mom, a few years ago when this book first came across my radar. While on a bike ride with my mom, at the young age of eight years old, we passed by a little free library (the box where you put in a book and take one out) in our old neighborhood. At the time, I was out of reading material so I decided that I would take a glance through the library and see what they had. The first book to catch my eye was The Martian. Space is something that I really enjoy and am fascinated by, so I thought I would flip through the pages and see if it looked any good. But after mom read the first sentence, she determined that it would be wise to save this book till I was a bit older. Anyways, I was recently skimm...

  Hello, I'm Samuel Troconis and this is my review on The Militia House by John Milas.           The book is centered around Corporal Loyette, A US Marine deployed with his unit in Afghanistan in 2010. There, while not having much to do, they quickly become bored and the days become dreadful. While at their base, they get told stories about an abandoned Soviet military base from the 1970s. Loyette and his unit, having nothing else to do quickly go to explore the house. There, they experience paranormal occurences. After the events of the Militia House, they try to forget what happened, but things gradually get worse. They think it's just the war and being away from home, but something about the Militia House is not letting them forget the eventful day.         Having some interest in war books, after hearing this book's horror twist, I was curious to see what it was. I began reading the book, and I soon saw myself enjoying it. The ...

The Hate You Give (THUG) is a realistic fiction book by Angie Thomas. The plot focuses on a black girl named Starr who witnesses the death of her best friend Khalil due to a white police officer. Due to Khalil's death, Starr and her friends and family have to overcome the protests, riots, and racism that happen in her neighborhood, school, and social life. I first read this book for a project in my subbie Language and Literature year. Overall I found the book to be pretty interesting with a few shortcomings here and there. When I first told my parents I was doing this book for an essay they recalled there being a movie about it. So when our family had free time we watched the movie and after reading the book I could tell they changed, or more specifically toned down a lot of the things that made the book worth the read. The first change I want to talk about is the overall violence throughout the story. As stated earlier Starr's neighborhood and community aren't taking Khali...
