Keely's Favourite Book

I try my best to read as much as I can, before bed and what not. I recently purchased a book called Perfume by Patrick Suskind, I'm super excited to read it. Apparently it's a beautifully written novel but its also very dark. It is a story about a murderer but I don't wanna go into detail cause I don't know much about it yet. If I had to think about my favourite book it would probably be Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. If you haven't read the book you've probably seen the movie. The book is about a 15 year old boy named Charlie who writes letters to someone who is unknown throughout the book. His story is about his traumatic past, the suicide of his friend and his aunt who died in a car accident on her way to get him his birthday gift. It is a very good read, very relatable and it talks about everything. I really recommend reading it or at least watching the movie if you haven't seen it!

    I started reading it last night! The way it was written makes it give off an erie sort of feeling but its also mesmerizing in some way, I couldn't stop reading. I guess that just shows how well it was written. It's very interesting and I'm not sure whether you know what it's about but it kinda shows how important scent is to us as humans. I really like it so far, would reccomend!

How Does a Poet Think? Above is a photograph of a lemon with snow on it.  There are a number of poetry ideas that can come from this photograph.  Some include: The photograph shows a contrast – there is a bright tasting fruit with cold snow. This idea could be applied to poetry.  A poet might write a poem about two people, one who behaves brightly, and one who behaves coldly. There is the question of whether the snow will damage the fruit or the tree. The idea of unknown possible damage could be used in poetry.  A poet could think of many situations where there is a sense of uncertainty about potential negative consequences. Some might look at this photograph and see hope. Despite the snow, there is the fruit.  A poet could apply this idea of hope to different ideas. Some might look at this photograph and see despair. They might think it inevitable that the snow will damage the tree and fruit.  This idea of despair could be applied to diffe...

How Far is Too Far?

The freedom of speech seems like a basic human right. Though, some areas of the world have took this right away from their people. Here in Canada, it is obvious we fully approve of the freedom of speech by this being one of our greatest qualities, and one many are attracted to. It is hard to think that even the most accepting country has it’s limits. There are many cases where students and even teachers have been punished for what they have said. In many of these cases, there are just unpopular opinions, not even presented in a hurtful manner. As a student and citizen of Canada, I do believe all should have the freedom to speak, even if that is on a controversial topic. In the case of Alex Stone and Brendan Jones, both were students who were punished for their chosen assignment topics. These assignments were open to any topic and so students were lead to believe they could write about anything. Alex Stone chose to write about himself murdering his neighbor’s pet dinosaur w...

Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo (Class Blog Assignment #1) - Oksana

Ketterdam: a bustling hub of international trade where anything can be had for the right price–and no one knows that better than criminal prodigy Kaz Brekker. Kaz is offered a chance at a deadly heist that could make him rich beyond his wildest dreams. But he can’t pull it off alone… A convict with a thirst for revenge. A sharpshooter who can’t walk away from a wager. A runaway with a privileged past. A spy known as the Wraith. A Heartrender using her magic to survive the slums. A thief with a gift for unlikely escapes. Six dangerous outcasts. One impossible heist. Kaz’s crew is the only thing that might stand between the world and destruction—if they don’t kill each other first. If there was ever a book that seamlessly combined vivid world-building, a fast-paced plot and beautiful writing, it's Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo, and its sequel, Crooked Kingdom. What really takes the cake, though, is the duology's characters, so that's what I'll tell you abo...
