The Shepards Granddaughter.

There has been many arguements on whether or not "The Shepard's Grandaughter" should be removed from school libraries and Red Maple, and in this blog post, I shall explan why
I do not think that it should be.
First of all, the book isn't lying, or stating that all Israelis are evil and inhumane people. I feel that by taking this book off the shelves is like denying the world of information. Apparently, that is even illegal! (According to Andrew.) Also, it is a right for people to learn and more about this issue, and taking the book off the shelves will leave many students still clueless about the Israelis. If other forms of media (like news and radios) talk about the Israelis and Palestinians, why can't books? I can understand how some people will be strongly against this book, but this is a free country and I believe that as long as the story is based on a true story and is not racist, this book is totally fine on the shelves. Some people may be afraid that this story is not appropriate for us teens, but many students are reading and watching things even more violent and cruel books. This is just my opinion, and I can see why some people would be against this book. So, just because some people think that this book makes people hate ALL Israelis (which doesn't), and has a strong opinion agianst it, I do not think that it should be removed from the library and the Red Maple Program.

Well, I'm trying to reach 300 words, but I've ran out of things to say, so yeaa. La dee la la la la. CAN'T WAIT FOR QUEBEC! . Thanks Oscar, for the idea :D

Parody of Girlfriend (Avril Lavigne)

Here is the video that me and Phoebe made for health class. We spent at least 10 hours on it! Also, i had to put it up on facebook first because Blogger took SO long to upload, and even after 4 hours, it still wasnt done. Excuse my Ke$ha wannabee-ness (trust me, i really dont want to be her. I just did it for the video) and our horrible singing. x)

Here are the lyrics!

(Chorus)
Hey hey you you I don't like your alcohol!
No way no way you know its not a secret,
Hey hey you you quit that habit!

Hey hey you you I know that it's bad for you!
No way no way, you know it's not a secret,
Hey hey you you quit that habit!

It's so gross, just stop it cuz it's not delicious,
You shouldn't drink it, it's just too addictive.
Dont' you know something else to make you feel alright
alright alright alright.

It's like, so whatever,
and you could do, so much better,
I think you should drop it right now,
and that's what everyone's talking bout!

(Chorus)

I can see the way, i see the way you need help,
and even when you look away I know you agree,
I know you like to get drunk, again and again
and again and again and again.

So come over here and tell me what I wanna hear,
Better yet, make your alcohol disappear!
I don't want to see you binge, ever again.
and again and again and again.

Cuz, it's like, so whatever,
and you could do, so much better,
I think you should drop it right now..

Oh in a second you'll be regretting it forever,
cuz you didnt but you should've done better.
There's no other way, so when's it gonna sink in,
Drinking's so stupid! Just what where you thinking?
(repeat^)

(Chorus)

No way, no way, HEY HEY!



I can't copy and paste on blogger, so i just had to type all that out^
That's why I was too lazy to type the chorus again and again. xD
