Outside Reading #6

I read an article on cnn.com. It was about a collision on highway 210 near the Brainerd airport. A van and a semitrailer truck collided. The truck driver was not hurt but the van driver, however, was killed. The van driver had swerved over the center line hitting the truck. The reason I read this article was  because I know people who live in Brainerd and I wanted to see if anything bad had happened that could affect them. It did not, however. This is article shows that people don't always do the smartest things and people can get in accidents just as easily when they are sober as when they are driving drunk. The article was short but I think it could teach a lot to it's readers.

Outside Reading #5

For this outside reading I read an article about Ashley Tisdale. I subscribe to Seventeen magazine and when I received this months magazine I thought it would be a good idea to blog about this. Ashley plays a very mean and self-centered teenager in the Disney Channel movies High School Musical. The article was about how in real life, Ashley is a very sweet person and "gives the best hugs". I think that this article can show that Ashley Tisdale is a good actress, and also that just because people are famous it doesn't mean that they are rude, selfish and mean to others.

Outside Reading #4

The most recent thing I read was an article about child abuse. I read this article because it was an assignment for my child psychology class. The article was about the different types of child abuse, the different predators, and different symptoms and etc. There are four types of child abuse: sexual, physical, emotional, and child neglect. Sexual is most common having men as the predators. Child neglect is most common with women predators. And emotional and physical are both men and women. Child abuse is a very big problem in our world and is continuously growing in the victims.

Outside Reading #3

I read an article on cnn.com about a 5-year-old girl who died while riding her horse. She was taking riding lessons when the horse got scared. The horse bucked her off, and dragged her for a few seconds before kicking her in the head. The girl was found unconscious and was brought to the hospital where she succumbed to her injuries. I feel really bad for this girl because she was so young. No one knows how the horse got scared, but that is what caused this innocent girl to die. When I read this article I was really sad.

Recent Text I Read

The most recent text I read was an article on drug abuse. My mom made me read this article because someone we knew was in it. The article was about how teens all over the country abuse prescription pills and other drugs. At first when my mom made me read it I didn't really care much for it but as I kept going, I realized that kids actually die and are seriously injured from this abuse. When I read the section about my friend, I felt really sad for her. Through reading this article, it made me not want to ever abuse drugs or alcohol.

Last Thing I Read

The last text I read was Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. This book is about a girl, Bella who moves to a new town and falls in love with a vampire, Edward. At first the two hate each other but slowly find themselves more and more attracted to one another. As Bella gets more and more involved with Edward and his vampire family, she gets into more trouble with their secret world. Bella gets blackmailed by an enemy vampire who tries to kill her, but an unexpected event happens and changes the book. This is the first book of the series and I would recommend this book to everyone.
