Greenburgh. NYC to officiate same-sex wedding on sunday

I read an article named Greenburgh,NYC to officiate same-sex wedding on Sunday. I'm not against or for same sex-marries. I don't believe its my right to say wether or not two people should get married. The couples who are getting married on Sunday are going to get married on a historical event. "Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced Tuesday that the city would hold a lottery for couples looking to tie the knot Sunday, with 764 spots available" To all the couples that are looking forward to getting married on Sunday, I wish you guys the best of luck.  Where do you stand on same-sex marries?

Body Movers: 2 Bodies for the Price of 1

I finally finished the book Body Movers, 2 Bodies for the Price of 1. It was an amazing and interesting book! This book was filled with romance, suspense, action and mystery. The interesting life of Carlotta Wren captures your attention on every page. I wouldn't recommend this book to young children because it contains "bad" language and the characters talk about topics that are inappropriate. I can't wait to read the next book in the body mover series. I have found my new favorite author, which is Stephanie Bond.  I really enjoyed reading this book! I highly recommend this book to mature children over the age of 12, and adults who are need of an amazing story. Do you think that you will read this book?

How does the story's setting compare

to where you live?



There are many similarities and differences between the story's setting and where I live.  One difference between the setting and where I live is that I don't live near a train station.  Another difference between the setting of the story and where I live is that I have never been in a police station. One more difference between the story setting and where I live is that I have never been in a morgue, unlike the main charcters.  One similarity between the story setting and where I live is that I have been in a clothing store like the one that Carlotte works at.  Another similarity is that I live near a police station.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? why or why not?

I would recommend Body Movers 2 Bodies for the Price of 1 to a Friend. This book is filled with action, romance, suspense and drama. My favorite part of the book so far, was the part when the person who stole Carlotta's identity was found dead . Everyone believed it was Carlotta.  I found it unbelievable and sad that parents would be able to leave thier children to take care of themselves at such a young age. This is the second book in the body movers series. Sadly, my public library does not have the first book Body Movers. I hope you'll try the book and enjoy reading it as much as I do.

After learning more about the characters what kind(s) of connections did you make between     the characters and some people in your life such as a family member or friends?

There are a lot of connections that I can make between the characters in the book and people from my life. I can make a connection between my mother and Carlotta, because they're  both hard workers. I can also make a connection between one of my friends and Wesley, because they both have a probation officer. Another connection that I can make is between  me and Carlotta, because we both have a next door neighbor who as a way of getting on everyones bad side. I can also make a connection between my brother and Wesley, because they both have part time jobs. I can also make a connection between Detective Jack Terry and Darlene, because their both invovled in criminal justic.  There are a lot of connections that I can make between the characters in the story and people from my life. I cant wait to keep reading!

Have you ever been in a situation like the characters in this story? Explain.

I have not been in a situation where my mother and father left me to fend for myself and my younger sibling like the main characters. I have never felt abandoned or unloved by my parents as the main characters did. I also have never gambled.  Unlike Wesley, I also have never been in jail or in a police car and I have not been in the situation where my life was turned upside down in a blink of an eye because of investment-fraud charges. 

Although like the main character ,Carlotta, i too have broken my cell phone when i really needed it. I cant wait to continue reading!

jump rope

I am reading a book named Jump Rope. Jump Rope is filled with a lot of information on the art of jump rope, and double dutch. The book is also filled with many well known rhymes that are sung all over the country like teddy bear teddy bear. I was a suprised at the fact that there are many different versions of the same song around the world. Jumping rope is also a great way to stay healthy. Jumping rope can help your lungs, the blood vessels, the muscles, and the heart. Jumping rope is not only fun but great for your body too!  You can also learn how to do fancy footwork like the double heel hop. Both young and old can jump rope. Did you know that jump-rope has been around before the 1600's? If your just starting to jump-rope or if you just need to inprove your fancy footwork this is the book for you. Leave a comment about your feelings about jump rope.
