The house party This book was very interesting‚ I was very intrigued. I like it because it really related‚ and it did teach me stuff. It showed me that I shouldn’t give in to peer-pressure. Just because your friends say you should do something‚ doesn’t mean it’s always right. Maybe they are telling you to do it‚ so they don’t have to? I suggest that teenagers from grades 8-9 should read this book‚ it could teach them a lot for future experiences. In this book there were to main characters

Once they are let go though‚ it is difficult to get them back to the way they once were. Maintenance is the key to any successful garden; some fertiliser every now

In trying to determine where the Garden of Eden might have been located‚ we have an immediate problem‚ because while the biblical description is quite detailed‚ it is also fairly succinct. We are told only that: The Lord God planted a garden in Eden‚ in the east; and there he put the man whom he had formed. . . . A river flows out of Eden to water the garden‚ and from there it divides and becomes four branches. The name of the first is Pishon; it is the one that flows around the whole land of

The women tried to show affection and love towards her husband by the cake but it was basically turned down. The point of view is through a random person who doesn’t know the couple at all.

Miracle Garden The Secret Garden is one of the best books that I’ve enjoyed reading. All the characters have interesting personalities that change for good; in many occasions. It’s neat to see how Mary‚ Colin‚ and Dickon encourage one another to value their own life. Two of the main characters would happen to be Mary Lennox and Colin Craven. Throughout the book‚ both Mary and Colin had a negative attitude. Mary was the first one to change her attitude and began to be positive and see
