Article of the Week:       One similarity between Of Beetles and Angles and Wildfire Breaks out Near Crowded Refugee Camp on Greek Island is that Mawi's family and the families of the refugees had to relocate because of war. This is indicated because in the article it states, "These children come from countries that are at war, where they have experienced extreme levels of violence and trauma," (5). This quote shows that, like Mawi's family, they had to flee their country because of war and take the trauma of the experience with them. In the book Mawi says that "He had fled our war-ravaged home a year earlier, driven out by the advancing Ethiopian army," (2). Mawi says that he, the father, Hailaeb, fled the war-ravaged home a year earlier, meaning that the home was not safe as war was raging around them.    The next paragraph will be about how war affects individuals and societies. War has many effects on people, for example in Wildfire Breaks out NearC

The title of the book I am currently reading is Scythe , Scythe  is based in an utopian universe where you can’t really “die” (well you can kill yourself or get run over by someone or something but there are revival centers that can revive you and healing “nanaties” that everyone has in their blood that soothes that pain and heals the wound.) The only way you can die and never come back is if you get gleaned. Gleanings are carried out by scythes and only scythes. Scythes are above the law (most of them at least) but because of that they have to glean 5 people per week or the world will get overpopulated, but here’s the thing... no one who gets taken on as an apprentice by a scythe actually wants to be scythe and that’s the case for the two main characters Citra and Rowan (Rowan is a guy and Citra is a girl.) Rowan and Citra are each taken on as apprentices by Scythe Faraday, only one can be chosen, the other will just carry on with their normal life like nothing ever happened.      

Welcome to my blog!!! Of coarse this is not my first post, it’s actually my 83rd post (haha...) but I have ventured into 7th grade and we are required to write an intro for our blog!!! I guess I’m not really sure what to write now... Okay! So, hi! I’m Ava, what’s that you say?! You want to learn more about me?!?! Sure!!! Well, obviously you learned that I am in seventh grade and I have been blogging for a while now. I love writing, it’s a place that I can find comfort and I really enjoy it when people read what I have to say, now don’t think that just because I love to write means I’m “good” at it, I try to improve my writing and I wouldn’t say I’m “bad” so I’ll just let you decide if I’m worthy of your time. I really want to be a well known actor when I grow up and I want to make people happy based on what or how I act, do you ever watch a show and you get really sad to the point where you start crying or you get really happy that you start smiling wildly as you stare at your screen y
