TEENS TOP TEN BOOKS- Paper Towns

I have not read any of those books. The book that sounds pretty interesting to me is Paper Towns. It sounds like a very intense book filled of love, mystery and just... in tenseness! This girl that left her old guy best friend a ton of years ago just showed up at her house and says lets go for an all night drive... But then she disappears.

I really want to read this book. It sounds like I could expect something really good from this book. I think that some reasons that kids posted this book in the top tens was cause like I said it just seems very intense and romancey. They said that Paper towns is a back that the teen thinks deeper and harder about the beautiful and terrifying ways we can and cannot know those we love. Paper towns probably in the top ten for a reason. I'm going to read it!

EDGAR ALLEN POE

It seems like reading Edgar Allan Poe stories around Halloween is a rite of passage for students in English classes. He wrote poems such as "The Raven" and "Annabel Lee" and stories like "The Tell-Tale Heart", "The Black Cat", "The Fall of the House of Usher", "The Cask of Amontillado", "The Masque of the Red Death", "The Pit and the Pendulum", etc.If you have read Poe stories before, which ones have you read and what do you remember of them? Did you like them? How scary/creepy were they? Share your memories of you or teachers reading the works of Edgar Allan Poe.If you have not read Poe or don't remember, describe to me what you expect from a classic horror writer? What kinds of stories do you think we'll be reading? Have you ever read scary stories?
I have read a few Edgar Allen Poe stories. I do not remember it cause I was probably not paying attention. Or I just didn't like the story so I didn't listen. Who knows... What I think i will be hearing from his stories will probably just really creep me out. I do not like being scared so it will probably just not be good.

Since he is a classic horror writer that probably means he is really good at writing scary things and or good at scaring people. I have read scary stories before and I just usually stop reading them cause I think there lame or just scary. I guess for people that like scary stories will think he is a really great writer. But for me, I'm not sure. We will just have to wait and see.

A couple of years ago there this ugly dog contest and the winner of the contest everybody thought it was the most ugliest thing ever. But I for some odd strange reason I thought it was really cute. It had really pretty green eyes and it was just so tiny! It had some of the prettiest brown hair I have ever seen on a dog. I have never understood why everyone thought that it was ugly.

Sometimes when you look at something and think why does everyone think its ugly except for me. It's just because you have different taste in things. I think the reason I think its so cute is cause it had green eyes. The dog was ugly actually, But it was just so pretty.
