Rogue
            Recently I finished Karen Lynch‘s book Rogue, the final book in its trilogy.  This book is about a girl named Sara Grey who is half Mori, a person who has a demon living inside their body, and half faerie.  Throughout the whole book series she tries to come to terms with her having a demon inside her.  All the supernatural beings living in the shadows are real and Sara just got thrown into their world.  Specifically in this book she is trying to defend her loved ones from a Master vampire that is trying to destroy her world.  In the other books the Master tries to break her by killing her dad “Why did you send Eli to kill my father? He was nothing to you.”(Lynch 300), taking away the safety of all her homes, and turning her Uncle Nate into a vampire.  “If we had met before, you’d be dead.” I leaned forward in my seat, and she took a step back. “You met my uncle.” (Lynch 291).  “But I was doing this for him and everyone else I cared about. None of us safe as long as the Master was alive.”(Lynch 6-7).  The Master is hunting her, in a way, because a warlock told the Master a half-breed (Sara) was destined to kill the Master.  “One of my guests was a warlock named Azar who was known for his gift of sight. Azar stupidly waited until after Madeline had gone to tell me he’d had a vision when he saw her. He told me that Madeline’s half-blood daughter would destroy me.”(Lynch 301).  All while the Master is hunting Sara, she meets her grandfather, some new friends, and eventually her mother, who left Sara and her father alone for a majority of her life, but most importantly she meets her soulmate or Solmi, Nikolas.  Can she save everyone she loves or will she lose the person she loves the most?
            While I was reading this book it reminded me of when we read The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell.  The Master is hunting Sara like General Zaroff was hunting Rainsford.  Also this book reminded me that we all have to face our demons, whether they are literal or figurative demons, we still have to deal with them on a day to day basis.  All in all I enjoyed reading the book, and trilogy, it was a magnificent experience.  I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading about the supernatural and want to join Sara Grey on her quest to find the Master and save her loved ones.

The House

Masan Brown   Ms. Asuncion   English 9H, Block 3   1 October 2015   The House   The box, the door, it  begged me to enter.    What lies beyond the door is my bad past,   I open the door, see and remember .   Waking in slow, I feel like an outcast.   The stairs I sat on,  waiting  for presents,   The kitchen where holiday meals were made.   I'm frozen thinking about those events ,   Thi s is where it happened, I wish I stayed.   I was scared seeing my house would hurt me,   This is where my family had fell apart.    Standing where my mom was finally free ;   As I'm in this house I feel my heartbeat.    Seeing this house is  impossibly hard,   The last thing I ever see is the yard!

Original Poem

By -
Kathryn Stone Ms. Asuncion English 9H Block 2 5 October, 2015 Times of the Year We start with fall. Leaves crumbling from the branches. Orange, red, yellow and brown. Floating in the wind. Kids knocking from door to door. Dressed in costumes, collecting candy. Pumpkins scattered all over the neighborhood. Next we have winter. Snowing falling from the sky. Every snowflake unique. Your fingers so cold, they become numb. Waking up with the surprise of no school. Making snow angels and having snowball fights. The warm embrace of the holidays. Then we have spring. Rain plunging from the sky. Plants popping from the ground. Purple, yellow, pink and green. The Easter Bunny visits the kids’ homes. Kids playing in the puddles of the streets. People dancing in the rain. Finally we have summer. The sun shining. No school. Kids outside, playing all day. Road trips across the country. Planes flying high, making memories for fam
