Home: The Review

Page Turner here. I just watched the new Dreamworks movie, Home. Here's my review!
     (Possible spoiler alert)  It all begins with the Boovs; a friendly alien civilization who make a living running away. Their motto is to run away from danger, and they excel at that. The entire Boov colony takes over Earth, thinking that they are doing us lowly, primitive humans a favor. The humans are moved to Australia and the Boovs move in. Oh, a highly optimistic and somewhat accident prone Boov, couldn't be more excited about the move to earth. The problem? Nobody else is excited that Oh even exist, but that hardly dampers his enthusiasm. In a moment of highly optimistic determination, Oh tries to send an email to a fellow Boov, but accidentally hits send all. As in, send to the entire galaxy...even the dreaded enemies the Boovs were trying to run away from in the first place. Now Oh must try to escape from his peers, who are angry at him for always making mistakes. He joins up with a girl named Tip who was overlooked in the relocation of people, and together they set off on an epic journey to find Tip's mom and stop the mail. This light-hearted, colorful and innovative movie sparks imagination and is filled with humor, astounding creativity and sights you never would have dreamed of. Over all, Home is a heartfelt adventure through imagination and friendship. Although both Oh and Tip started out to stop and email and save her mom, they both learned about love instead.
Four and a Half Stars!

An Ode to My iPod: Part 2

iPod, you were in your plastic baggy I stared at you as I cleaned the kitchen How broken you were! The rice could not fix you, it seemed A friend suggested I get a new one Replace you, dear iPod? I had no other choice! You've been with me through a lot, dear iPod Through my first couple basketball games Through that terrible thunderstorm I listened to you during my sad times I played you when I was happy Your music reminded me of good memories Why, wonderful iPod, why did I let you get wet? It was such an innocent thunderstorm I held you as I listened to your song But was it for the last time? I listened to you as we drove long miles Your ability to store music astounds me So many memories are in those songs! My little iPod, you played as we grouted the porch You were beside me in the late nights when I couldn't sleep You lie on my pillow, supplying me with audio as I draw Dear little iPod, your music kept me running I guess I shall have to say good-bye,...

The Great Gatsby Book Review

Hi, Page Turner here. Today is the third book in the 30 series on “15 Books Every Person Should Read.” Yesterday was about The Giver by Louis Lowry. Today I’m going to be writing about The Great Gatsby. A beloved, gritty classic about the 1920s, I read this book a few years ago and have been captured by its message ever since. I hope you enjoy today’s book review!                                         The Great Gatsby—a Book Review       The 1920s, dubbed the Roaring Twenties, has captured the imaginations of generations. Twinkling lights, flapper dresses, jazz, and Downton Abbey-esque dinner parties have all been general characterizations of this time period. Add in some speak-easy bars, some romance and mystery, and a trip to the cinema in the family automobile to complete the picture....
