My room is messy

My room is so messy, it smells like feet. Whenever i walked into my room i would see clothes over the floor  it was very disgusting.

My Citrus life

I started off as a little sapling in new york. I was in a big city and i didn't know what to do. I was just a young citrus. I grew up and only ate oranges. As i was growing up i would eat a lot. I grew up with my family, my mom, dad ,brother, and two older sisters. Life is pretty good growing up, i had food and could do a lot of things. I went to school and it was fun. I grew up and now im in 9th grade. I ended up in Mrs. Capen (Lemons class). I had so much fun.

Book Review

The book is about a young boy who is named Ishmael Beah, he goes to war and faces many problems as time passes, like when his parents die, and why he goes to war. I think the authors purpose for writing the book is to be ready for anything and to know what to do if anything were to happen, and what to prevent. No, the book isn't relateable to someone my age that i know. None of my friends have been at war. I've read many other books like To Kill a Mockingbird, and it also has like fighting in it and the book i read has fighting/violence. I think the author of the book is a very good writer from the way he explains things in the book. This book is useful because you never know what will happen.

A theme this book has is sadness. Ishmael Beah's parents passed away. It's like a family member passing away which sucks. My aunt passed away a couple years ago and it made me sad. Many people get sad from family or very well known people pass away.

Teen Culture-Body Image

Honestly, i think looks do not matter. Other people thinks they do because it looks good and they want people to think they look good rather than ugly. People spend so much money for 1 piece of clothes just took look good, When they could get 5 pieces of clothes for way less. If people look ugly they think others will make fun of them, some people may but others won't. A lot of teens see the magazines where girls are really "hot", and those teens want to be hot like the models on the magazines. Teens look at their bodies and compare them to the models on the magazines (which are obviously photoshopped) but those teens don't focus on the photoshop because all their thinking about is how ugly their bodies are. Those teens are influenced to try to become pretty, teens do horrible things to be skinny. They go on about how ugly they are telling their friends. I know that if you say you can become skinny you will be skinny but with hard work not by force throwing up, but if you say u can't you lower your self esteem which is bad and it puts you in the throw up situation. Some girls are born like models, others aren't but i think beauty doesn't really matter because nobody's perfect.
