Dinner for Schmucks

             A movie you guys have to watch is dinner for schmucks. The movie is about a man who is involved in a secret dinner which he has to invite one person who does the stupidest things but he can’t tell them or any other person. The two main characters of this movie are Steve Carell and Paul Rudd. The overall summary of this movie is that Paul Rudd finds Steve Carell on the street one day and invites him to the special dinner he has but just tells him it is just a normal dinner with other friends. Steve Carell accepts and starts hanging out with Paul Rudd until the day of the dinner. During that time, Steve Carell starts doing all sorts of things that would annoy Paul Rudd which makes this movie so hilarious. The dinner day comes and each guest has someone who does stupid things and the stupid person has to do a demonstration. The dinner starts to go crazy and the funniest things start to happen.

                One character that is really funny in this movie is from the move ‘The Hangover’ who his name in the hangover was Alan. In dinner for shmucks he acts as a mind control man. He always says he is controlling the actor Steve Carell, which falls for it, while the friend Paul Rudd keeps telling him that he is not being controlled. I recommend this movie for all of you who like comedy and need to laugh for a while.

My view of high school up to now

Up to now, high school has been fairly different from middle school. Like I’m a freshman, everything is new to me. But there are also good parts about high school. One thing that I have liked is the laptop program. With the laptops, it makes it easier to take notes and is also easy to get the class work done if you’re doing a research paper. But having a laptop comes some responsibility. One thing you have to be aware of is that you can’t let the laptop get stolen or get broken because it is the school’s laptop and it costs around $1,600. Another rule that they made is that you can eat or drink around the laptop but I bet a lot of students do that anyways. Another thing that is tempting while using the laptops is when you get board in class, you want to talk with friends but the teacher doesn’t let you. So what some people will do is go on an online chatting sight or download a chatting program and start chatting with friends in the middle of class. But you got to admit, we teenagers always have to find a way to talk to our friends while the teacher doesn’t know.

One thing of high school that can be great at sometimes but very frustrating at others, are the teachers and the freedom that they give you. The good part about this is that they would be pressuring you with homework’s so you can feel relaxed when completing them. The bad part is that when they give you a project, they don’t actually tell you what you have to research to present, and for some students that is kind of hard because they want to know what they need to do so that they can make a check list and be on track.

Overall, high school is better than middle school, and I think I can survive with what is to come.

Snakehead by Anthony Horowitz

A book that I have been reading in my English is called Snakehead by Anthony Horowitz. Although I haven’t read the other Alex rider series, I can still say a small summary about what I have read up to now. The book up to now is about a kid called Alex Rider who falls down from space in an escape pod. He falls in the sea and gets picked by some army men. They tell him he is in the border of Australia and are trying to find out what he does. After flying in a helicopter, Alex is in a military camp and meets some teenagers in training. One night they decide to go to a beach which they say is far away. When they got to the beach, Alex and one of his military friends go into a forest to find some wood to start a fire. The friend abandons him and Alex is stuck in the woods and has to try to find his way out. While trying to escape, he gets stuck in the middle of a military practice field while bullets flying everywhere. After running for his life he climbs a fence and is out of the war zone. But then he steps on mine and then finds out that he is in a mine field. A military man who was fighting in the war zone comes and helps Alex. After Alex is saved, he finds the military teenagers and they set off back to camp.

                I think this book up to now is very good and interesting. It also has great suspense which I like a lot. Although this book is very good, I would lend it to my class mates so they see how good the book is as well as how suspenseful.
