Books are life

new things are learned
things could be unpredictable
never knowing what the next page brings
every book doesn't have a fairytale ending
and may have you questioning the

When You Throw a Party and Nobody Comes

Summary      The article, "When you throw a party and nobody comes", is about a group, PCTA, who throws parties and no one attends. The group could not understand the lack of attendance.

Jefferson thoughts help my come to the conclusion that he is not a hog, but in fact a human with emotions.      Describing in depth how Jefferson's execution day went sent my emotions in a spiral.

In my opinion, Jefferson did die as a man and Grant helped Jefferson grow as...
