Middle School boys are the worst, trust me, I’ve experienced both sides of it. I’ve been slammed into lockers and well, one time I threw a kid into a locker and I promise, it was totally justified. Anyway, things don’t get much better with freshman boys in high school, they’re just as insecure as they were in middle school (trust me, very insecure!!) except now there are guys three or four years older than them instead of one or two. By their sophomore and junior year, they’ve actually built up some real, genuine self-esteem and are actually capable of achieving some things; unfortunately, that all goes by the wayside when senioritis hits and “A’s are bae” turns into “C’s get degrees” and “C’s get degrees” turns into “D’s don’t get rescinded.”

Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison is the story of a young, educated black man living in New York who struggles to survive in a racially divided society that chooses to ignore him because of the fact that he is black. Because of this, he lives in a hole underground and continues to believe that he is invisible to American society. It is a story set in the U.S pre Civil Rights era and is told in the first person through many memories and dreams. While reading his story, I began to take note of all of the themes in symbolism throughout the book, and I realized how much of an effect they had on the story being told. The themes and symbolism are important because they help us understand and connect to the story being told.

Do you think billy the kid (Henry McCarty Jr.) took a stand?Most people wouldn't think he does because he kills and he robs places. But that’s why because people don't see the good side of him like how he stood up for his boss or how when he stole butter as a kid he did it for his city. Billy the Kid moved to Arizona briefly before joining up with a gang of gunfighters called The Boys to fight in the Lincoln County War.

November 5th was a day of glory and amazement. The Darien Ice Rink in Darien Illinois was the sight of an absolute upset. On that day, my Northern Cyclones team beat the infamous Chicago Mission at the Bauer Invite.

I bet the author, Christian Danielsen, could have chosen anyone famous within his own community to do a profile on; instead, he picked a funny math student from UC Davis with a goal of winning an odd world record. The profile of Daniel Meyer, the “Paperclip man”, shares the same elements of hard work and dedication we come to expect from a story of a man and his dream, but with a twist. It takes a peculiar personality to want to dedicate time and energy to breaking the world record paper chain.

Throughout Funny Boy, as Arjie comes to terms with his sexuality, he realizes that his family won’t ever accept him. One event in his childhood that made him begin to realize this was the fight he got in with Her Fatness over bride/bride, which ended in him feeling lonely and unaccepted by everyone. “I knew that I would never enter the girls’ world again… And then there would be the loneliness.
