Havin a Fitz over Fitzgerald
Fitzgerald's solomn and dowsy remarks relinqiush a furry of thoughts that no one can understand. this proves to be especially usefull when trying to write a cramed 40 minute essay on the matter. of course no one person can do this, especially when only in high school. the fact of the matter is that we all are just too plain ole stupid to really fully comprehed such a genius mind as F. scott fitz gerald. One might ask why do they push such a task upon such innocent bistandards. well I can not answer but only reply they might just possibly want to make us feel as though we feel smart. Make us feel that we can tackle anyting, that we can make it in the real world, thus loosing the reality that we truly cannot. and that my friends is not a bad thing to waste.

3rd Quarter Books
I read 3 books, the equivalent of 6 books.
- Slaughter House Five - 3 Books (275, Classic)
- Eating Animals - 2 Books (368 pages)
- Understanding Religions: Buddhism- 1 book (108 pages)
Slaughter House Five by Kurt Vonnegut is a very unusual anti-war book that takes place during and after World War II. It tells of Billy Pilgrim, an american turned insane after becoming a Prisoner of War. Billy tells of Aliens from "Tramalfadore" and deals with the pains after war as he gets married, becomes an optometrist and lives a very boring average life. Slaughter House Five is so enjoyable thanks to its humor, creativity and unexpected sides.
