BucketList

13 Reasons Why 
By Jay Asher

I want to read this book because it will help me understand more about what drives teenagers to commit suicide. When I lived in Cave City there were two teenagers in my school who committed suicide and hopefully this book can help me to understand why. Also, Id like to read this book because Mrs. Gillmore recommended it and according to her it is very powerful, moving, and everybody should read it.

Fifty Shades Darker
By E.L. James

The first book in this trilogy, Fifty Shades of Grey, has been one of my favorite books that I have read so far, which is why I'm excited to read this one which is next in the trilogy. At the end of the last book Anastasia left Mr. Steele and I'm very curious to find out if she will come back or not.

Fifty Shades Freed
By E.L. James

This is the last book in the Fifty Shades trilogy so of course I'm excited to read it to find out what happens in the end. The whole Fifty Shades trilogy has had really good reviews and people have raved about it and from what I've read so far it seems to be good but I want to see how it gets better.

Before I Fall
By Lauren Oliver

Last year in my English class my teacher read about 5 pages of this book to us and just from that little bit I was hooked and I've been wanting to read it since then. This book has had good reviews so that's always a positive. Also, the books main character is a teenager so I like to read books that I can relate to in some way.

The Hunger Games
By Suzanne Collins

I'm not sure why I haven't read this book yet because almost every teenager in the world has read this and everyone loves it. I've already seen the movie and it was awesome so I'd like to see how the book relates to the movie, and which is better.

Memoirs of a Geisha
By Arthur Golden

This book spiked my interest because I watched a movie about a Geisha recently and it was awesome because I love learning about different cultures in the world and Japanese culture especially interests me. I could probably learn more from reading a book about the subject than by watching a movie so I'm excited to read this.

Just Listen
By Sarah Dessen

Remembering 9/11

Building a new World Trade Center will show terrorists that even though they brought us down once America will always rise up again bigger and better than before. Also, the WTC sends a message that America is safer and better prepared for another attack.
The new building features a memorial to remember the victims of 9/11, and new safety features which will protect people in the building better in case of another attack. Examples of these new safety features are the elevators which go 23 mph, and the 3 feet thick concrete walls.
The new WTC is an act of patriotism because we are proving to the world that America can not be defeated.
