Book Blog

 Heavenly by Jennifer Laurens
Heavenly is a book by Jennifer Laurens. The book is about the life of a girl named Zoe.

The book is about how Zoe's sister is autistic and how she has an angel watching over her. Her brother is a drug user and her parents don't know. Zoe is stuck carrying the weight of  that and tacking care of her sister sitting on her shoulders.

In the book I think the author should have had a better friend for Zoe. The friend is not very friendly and in sum parts the friend is friendly and sum times she is not. I also think the author could have made the parents notice more. The author could have made the parents pay more attention to Zoe and her brother not just to their sister.

I think that girls would be more inclined to read this book. The main character is a girl so the story is in more of a girls view. The book talks about everyday problem's that girls probaly face more than boys. Though boys seem to think that drugs surround them they also involve girls. This book is really good for anybody to read.

My fav place

In general I liked writing the paper but not making the video. I would prefer to write and show my creativity in writing that through video. In my opinon I think I work better when it's just writing and not video projects. I like writing a paper and then speaking about it more than writing a paper and presenting a video.

My fav place video

I also liked Cassie's video. I liked have how she included the tour behind where the bowling balls go after they hit the pins and when they resurface. I liked the music she played. The camera person was a little shaky.

The My place in Pittsburgh Videos

I really liked Aubrey-Grace's video so far. She had good video footage in her video. Although the camera was shaky it was a good video.I liked how she edited hers.

My Favorite Place in Western PA

The western PA project was not a lot of fun. It was mainly research, and interviews. Although the paper was easy the video was challenging. If you don't know how you want your video to work or you just don't know how to work the imovie.

The best part of the project is that I got to interview this older lady who knew a lot about the place. I got to hear old storys about the place and where it's located. I also found out that she knew my grandfather who passed away when I was little and the same with my uncle. She also knew my aunts.
