Then, he tells someone, despite

Eighth grade is when I discovered Ellen Hopkins’ books, I started reading her novel “Flirtin’ with the monster”, which is the whole reason why she wrote the “Crank” trilogy. Finding out about Ellen Hopkins’ books has really inspired me to write to a greater extent. My freshman year my grandmother passed away and to help me deal with my depression I wrote a story. Ellen Hopkins quoted, “I didn’t start it looking for publication, let alone expecting the book to become the phenom it has”. This was found on her website; EllenHopkins.com; this website is used to find all of her books, also a question and answer section for her fans to ask questions about her books and about how she and her family is doing. There are also other tabs on her website

Thesis Statement: Don Decker was possessed by a supernatural force and given abilities that no other human has.

Christina and I spoke on the phone with a man named Renaldo Reser. Mr. Reser has been a member of the non-profit organization, A Better LA, since 2006. Since Los Angeles has a negative reputation when it comes to its youth and gang violence, NFL coach Pete Carroll felt it was his obligation to make a change. Mr. Reser said Carroll established A Better LA to transform “the root from within to give people a reason to hope for a better tomorrow.” The very reason this organization was founded was on the basis for “hope.” Aspirational capital is the main community cultural wealth exerted (Yosso). African-American children have a place to go to hide from violence and gang initiations.

What would happen if a stranger was asked to name the most brilliant person they could think of? Maybe they would mention Aristotle, Stephen Hawking, or a brilliant Harvard professor. Although everyone has their own perspective, few people would name a hip hop artist as the prime example of a sophisticated thinker and educator. However, in the hip hop piece “My Philosophy”, author Laurence Parker (referred to as DJ KRS hereafter) presents himself in this way and shows himself as a bright, experienced and educated man with important messages to share about the hip-hop industry and black culture. DJ KRS shares different aspects of his own life and contrasts this with his views of other hip-hop

Write my own book and get it in my school library? That would be the coolest thing ever! Now when I have to check out a book from the library every day to take home and read, I can just take mine! Hah! I don’t even have to read it, because I’ll know what it’s about, because I wrote it! An ingenious plan to get out of reading boring books my school had, and my lifelong (not very long, so far) goal, both to be completed with one task. I was living the dream.

Hello, my name is Yolanda Page. I graduated from high school in 1998. When I was a teenager I use to love to write in my journal, but, that ended over 20 years ago. Over the last 18 years, I have been a full-time stay at home mother of 8 amazing children. I love to take care of my family, which is a full-time job in its self that never ends. In 2012, I began attending Bethel University. I have encountered countless amounts of issues writing academically throughout my college career thus far. Maybe, I lack the understanding and confidence that it takes to be a good writer. Hopefully that will change someday.

This isn't going to be a boring story about a boy reading a book. Its going to be about me and all my road blocks to finally reading a book. Oh yeah I forgot to introduce myself my name is Thomas Griffin and I am now 43 years old and live down South. One day I was walking past a bookstore in 1984 in the city while I was looking for work and seen this book with a very interesting book cover. I had never really though about reading a book before because where I lived kids went to work like regular adults. I was so interested in reading the book. I had no idea getting and reading a book would be so hard.

But an agreement was soon with him and his firm.

We were pretty creative kids, as you can tell. When he was writing a new chapter, he would talk to me and tell me about what he writes and how he does it. He even showed me his brainstorming papers, some of which I still have today. All of this is what inspired me to start my own writing. It was first RLS related and slowly grew into my own (really god awful) original stories that a five-year-old could be proud of. During kindergarten, any free time I ever had, I dedicated to my novel writing. I even wrote stories for my friends just to be able to write more. This continued all through that year, and then I hit first

The other thing is why did you write the book? Some non-fiction authors do it for the money, others to help people, or to show their expertise and increase their business. My books have helped people and expanded my business, to me that’s a win, win.
