The Bookworm: Anne Frank: A Posthumous Superstar
Grace Limoncelli: Grade 7
Yesterday, I finished reading Anne Frank: The Diary Of A Young Girl, by Anne Frank.
I chose the book for a multitude of reasons. The first, but not the defining one, is because it is on the reading list. Next is my strong interest in World War II, the Holocaust, and the early 1940s in general. The third reason is that I started the first chapter in January, and I had to stop the book for causes unknown to me. The second to last of these reasons relates to the second reason and has to do with my mother’s indignation of having found that I read Night, by Elli Wiesel, and Sarah’s Key, by Tatiana de Rosnay (which in case you do not know are books about the Holocaust), without reading the classic diary of Anne Frank.
Opinions: The Search For A Bright And Inexpensive Holiday Season
Grace Limoncelli: Grade 7
It has recently come to my attention, thanks to Mrs. Giordano, that there really is an economic difference between kinds of light bulbs. For instance, many use incandescent and CFL light bulbs in their homes (and holiday decorating) because of their inexpensive price tags. It turns out that it is a myth that they save money, because their lifetime is much shorter compared to LEDs and halogens.
