StarGirl
I've read more of "Star Girl." After her uncle moved away she wanted to start collecting Porcupine neckties.But she was wondering where did they sell Porcupine necktie in Mica, Arizona.On her fourteenth birthday she read about herself in the local newspaper.It was a birthday gift from someone anonymous.The family section ran a regular feature about kids on their birthdays, and her mother had called in some info.Her last sentence read: "As a hobby,Leo Borlock collects porcupine neckties.Several days later when she was coming home from school,she found a plastic bag on her front steps.When she opened it,she saw a porcupine necktie.Two porcupines were tossing darts with their quills, while a third was picking its teeth.

OUT OF WAR
Millions of children who live amidst war have similar experiences.The difference for these and thousands of other young Columbians is that they have refused to become a part of the violence themselves.Instead, they look for solutions that offer a way out of war,and in the process they have established an extraordinary movement.
Out Of War
The sories in OU OF WAR describe the struggles of these young people as they try to cope with some of the harshest tests of life.Juan Elias with the asassination of his father;Wilfrido with death threats;Maritza with violence at home and gang warfare on the streets;Farlis with massacres that are tearing her town apart.
Out Of War
Well as you can see I am reading a sory called ''OUT OF WAR.''It reflex on ma life,because I've had violence surrounded by me before.I could never do anything about it because their no gonna listen to whas righ until they have shown their enemies whats good(killing them).Everywhere you go theirs violence all you have to do is STAY away from IT.This basically what their lives have been they have experienced war and terrible violence and they have chosen for peace.All nine of them is part of the Children's Movement for Peace in Columbia which was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize in 1998--and every year since.

Teaching Chess And Life
I made alot of connections because the neighborhood I live in is rough.The parents that live bye me dont care how they live and dont care about their children.We have lots of gang bangers in our neighborhood.Like yesterday on August 21,2013, someone got shot because they tried to rob someone and then the person they tried to rob shot them and they didnt live.The parents just let their kids do what they want ,for example they running around outside with no shoes and their hair is never done.Our neighborhood is not safe.
