My Favorite Binge: Reading "Warriors"

-
In 6th grade, a binge I did was reading this long series of books. This series became one of my favorite series. The series was called Warriors. It’s by Erin Hunter, but Erin Hunter is a pseudonym for a group of authors. The authors are Kate Cary, Cherith Baldry, Tui Sutherland, Gillian Philip, Inbali Iserles, and Victoria Holmes. The authors are still making books for this series, and for other series too. So, in 6th grade, a friend recommended this series to me, and I decided to start reading it. The series is split into different arcs. Each arc so far has 6 books in it. Today, there are 5 completed arcs, and 4 books in the current arc. So, if you do the math, there are a total of 34 books in the main series, and more are still being made. The series is about these cats that live in the wild, and they live in a group of clans. The clans are called ThunderClan, RiverClan, WindClan, and ShadowClan. The clan the cats live in is based on their parent’s clan, usually the parents are from the same clan. That’s basically the basics of the world the cats live in. In the first arc, there is this housecat (lives with a human, not a clan) named Rusty, and he joins ThunderClan because the leader of ThunderClan lets him. Then, there are some bad things happening in the other clans, and Rusty helps the clan out. I am not going to say a lot about what happens because I don’t want to accidentally spoil anything, so that’s why what I’m is very vague on what the series is about. The other series are about other cats in ThunderClan, and takes place not too long after the previous arc ends, and you know who all the cats are since they were in the previous arcs.
So, I started reading the series a few month after 6th grade started, and I really liked the series. I kept reading each book, one after the other. I may have taken a break at some points, and read some other books, if the next book I had to read in the series was unavailable, but by the time 6th grade ended, I was in the middle of the 5th arc, which was the last arc available. During that summer (before 7th grade), I finished the all main arcs, and also read other books that took place in the same world as the main series. These books are called Super Editions. They had more pages in them than the main series, and they tell some interesting stories that happened in the same world, but was not mentioned in the main arcs. So, by the time 7th grade started I had finished almost all the books in the Warriors world except for the short stories, and guides. The short stories are similar to the Super Edition except that they are shorter and are not as significant as the other books. The guides were about the clans and how they worked. I finished those quickly, and now I am waiting for the next book to come out. Warriors is a series of books that I just could not put down, and I really enjoyed that series.

Margie Oppenheimer: A Holocaust Survivor

  Margie Oppenheimer is a Holocaust survivor who has an interesting story about the three camps that she was sent to. First, she went to Riga Ghetto where she had to shovel snow. Though it seems like hard work, she said that it wasn't so hard, and she continued working hard so that she could survive. Not too long after she was sent to work at a rubber factory at Stutthof Concentration Camp. Some people think that everyone who watched over prisoners were bad because they were being cruel to their prisoners, but Margie’s boss at the factory wasn't like those stereotypes. He let his employees take pictures of themselves, and cook in his kitchen using his food. He had helped Margie and many others survive too. During a selection at this camp, Margie was chosen to die, but she didn't die thanks to her trusty friends Fanny and Rosaly. They pulled her under the fence and brought her to another barrack. Many things and people helped Margie survive through the Hol

Endings and Beginnings

-
           As the end of the school year nears, I have created some goals that I want to achieve before it's over. One goal that I want to achieve is getting the best grades that I can possibly get. To me, grades are very important even though sometimes it doesn't matter what grades you get, but I still like to get the highest grades possible. Ways that I can do this is by working hard during class and on my homework. Another way I can do this is by doing extra credit. Some of my classes give extra credit, and I always do them. Another goal I have is to do well on my finals. I am going to study very hard, but not too hard that I'll have a mental breakdown. My goals for the end of the school year are getting the best grades, and doing well on my finals.             Also, I have goals for summer break as well. During winter break and spring break, I sometimes feel like I didn't make the most of my time, so one goal of mine during summer breaks is to record everything I d

Perseverance: The Only Way

    The quote “Success is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration.”  tells us the truth of getting something done. You can’t just think of something awesome, and then lay back and dream about it. To get anything to be done, you have to get up and do the work yourself. Be determined to fulfill your dream. Don’t look at it for 5 seconds and then abandon ship because it looks too hard or may take a long time. Everything is hard in someway and if you can make it through that, then you can do something that not everyone can do. People might hide from things because they are afraid of trying to do something new or challenging. Being confident and having a lot of perseverance is what makes up role models and good people. Even now, people look up to you, most likely your little siblings, friends or students in lower grade levels, and they might want to be like you. Having a lot of perseverance leads to many good things in life, like being able to get things done and getting a good job. So,
