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, for real this time
No more lines of poetry, more words of prose...
It might be time to get another grey iPod
But they will never replace you....
But, wait! Behold!
As I pick you up, your screen moves
Joy!
I can navigate to the music, dark as your screen is
No back light provides light for me to see
But I don't care little iPod
You're fixed and that's all that matters
Let's go listen to a song, little grey iPod....

Books, Books, Books...

Hi, Page Turner here! Okay, so if the start of this high school year as been anything, it has  not  been boring due to lack of books to read. Here's a list of my favorite books, (in no particular order) that I've read since August!     1. "Bud, Not Buddy." This is book filled with humor and pathos and narrated by a ten-year old street-savvy kid in the Great Depression. After loosing his mom when he was six, he is moved to an orphanage. After a series of events, he finds himself alone on the road. But Bud has a secret--he thinks he knows who is father is, and he sets out to find him. This heart-warming story shows the heart of young boy, the mind of a hardened man, and the importance of family. 8/10! 2. "City of Ember Trilogy" Okay, so actually it's a quartet, but I've never liked the "Prophet of Yunwood" anyway. This series follows the events after a devastating world war that caused fire, starvation, and disease; a war that nearly wiped...

The Invention of Hugo Cabret

Hi, Page Turner here! I'm back for--guess what!--another book review. That's right, folks. Book reviews are now officially part of the blog and will be labeled under movie reviews. What's this one on? Just one of the greatest graphic novels of all time. Okay, so when I said 'graphic novel' I guess I should be more specific. According to the dictionary a graphic novel is "a novel in a comic strip format." This book combines pages with words with pages covered in beautiful drawings that tell a story almost as clearly as the aforesaid written pages do. If you haven't guessed it all ready, this is the story of "The Invention of Hugo Cabret." If this doesn't sound like your kind of book, does mystery, danger, an orphan kid living in a clock tower, an old man with a secret, the history and magic of movies, or a secret hidden in a metal automaton strike your fancy? Here's my review!                   ...
