He idolizes Stalin and the way he runs everything. Sasha wants to join what is known as the Young Pioneers‚ but when his father suddenly gets arrested in the middle of the night he isn’t so sure anymore. I would say that children ages 10 and up could read this book. I think that the topic of communism should

The main character Walter White‚ a chemistry

treatments. Irrational fears come in all sorts of shapes and sizes‚ from the peculiar to the seemingly absurd. These phobias can take a hold of a person’s life and create barriers preventing them from achieving their goals and hold them back a great deal not to mention the self loathing that may occur as a person comes to term with this disorder they live with.

Breaking Ice I walked on a thin layer of ice in high school; every time someone judged me‚ I could hear the ice slowly cracking under my feet. My life was in a fragile and brittle state during my junior year. I didn’t have the support of my parents‚ nor of my closest friends at this stage of my life.

On the contrary‚ I was determined to be successful because
