Abortion Is Not The Only Way Out

         Shayira Farmer a Parkway West Senior presented her senior project to me and my fellow classmates. Shayira topic was on that Abortion is murder and is not the only way unplanned pregnancies can be handled. Shayira stated that about 1.2 million people die because of abortion. Also 15-44 year old had the highest abortion rate in 2000 with 2.1% and Shayira stated that in 1973 the U.S. legalized abortion. . She said her only problem with doing abortion as her senior project was that she found more opinions then facts.
         I think abortion is wrong if you have other opportunities to handle the situation. Many people say that they cant keep the child because they have to go through school and a job to support the child. Abortion should not be your first idea when you find out the big news. You can always give it away for adoption or find a program that helps you plan and get ready for the baby. Even though people think abortion is murder it is still legal and its been that way since 1923.
         But to lessen the rate of abortion we should try and stop people from having unprotected sex if they don't want to deal with the baby later. More options are offered to you instead of surgery to get a abortion; you can take a abortion pill nine weeks in the pregnancy or take a Plan B pill. We should have a health fair like my school did and talk to people about safe sex and hand out condoms.

Book Review On: Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief (By Rick Riordan)

         How would you feel if you found out that all the old Greek gods are real and your the son of the Sea God? And you just found out your being blamed for the theft of Zeus's Master Bolt.You would feel just like "Percy Jackson" in Rick Riordan famous book Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief.
           Percy Jackson was a regular kid that had problems in school because he was diagnosed with ADHD and Dyslexia. He was having a field trip to a Greek history museum with his best friend Grove, when he noticed he could read the statues and walls that was written in Greek. As his Latin teacher and his Math teacher noticed his behavior they grow curious. Percy's Math teacher asks to speak with him in private, so he follows her and as he turns around to look at where she went she is at the top of the stairs yelling "WHERE IS IT PERCY JACKSON" she then turns into a creature called a Furies and fly after him. Before he could react his Latin teacher (Charon) and Grover walked in. Charon threw him a pen and told him to uncap it and it turns into a sword. Now fighting back and forth with the beast he happens to cut her making her flee.
        I encourage everyone to read this book it is filled with amazing facts about Greek History and will make you want to get interested in Percy's Life. Also go buy the movie it is Awesome (if i may say so myself).

Book Review On Ender's Game ( By Orson Scott Card)

          Orson Scott Card is a NewYork Best Seller Author who has caught my attention with his great book Ender's Game. This is the "go to" book for anyone who likes to read about sci~fi books with a twist.
           Ender's Game is a book based on a war between Earth and Alien Invaders (called "Buggers"). This book takes place in a futuristic world which the people on Earth have made a pact with each other to join together to defeat the Buggers from invading. But the only one who can really stop them from winning this space war in Andrew Wiggin (most people use his nickname Ender).
          Ender is a "Third" (Third child born in a family of genuis) which is illegal in these times. Valentine is the person he holds close's in the world, Peter is a cruel evil genuis who has big hopes on some day ruleing the world. Ender has been taken from home to be trained in a academy in outer space to prepare him for his hard diffcult life, full of life changing experiences and decision making.
Well I don't wanna ruin the book for anyone who has hopes of reading it or whoever is in the process of reading the book. So I will not give any spoilers about the climax.
           Ender's Game is also in comic form and also might become a movie due to the large fan base. The casting for this moving has started already and might be released next year.
