We All Do Different Things That Make Us Happy

In the book Its Kind Of A Funny Story  By Ned Vizzini. Is About this boy named Craig and he's a kid thats always depressed and he doesn't really have a lot of people there for him. But there's one way that Craig gets his anger out.And that by drawing maps and just drawing in general. When Craig was younger he couldnt draw maps because he thought they were to "hard to draw" & he couldnt do them. And now that he's older he can draw and now that's the way he gets he's anger out on paper.

We all have different ways to take our anger out so that we don't have to take them out on other people.For example some of us play football or just play sports in general. Others sing,dance, write, read. What I do when I'm mad I write. I write different stories & on different perespectives. I don't necasserly write about myself and what's going on with me I just write realistic fictiom stories or "young adult" stories.

I think that it's important that we all have these different hobbies because if not we would all be fighting in the streets. Well ok maybe not fighting but taking our anger out on other people and getting angry at other people for something that they probably never even did. I thinknthat Craig does the right thing by drawing maps and other things because thats what makes him feel better about himself. And makes his depression stop while he's doing it.

Always Be Yourself

     The story Am I Blue  by Bruce Caville. Is about this boy named Vince who's trying to figure himself out. I think that the over all theme is that you shouldn't be afraid to be who you want to be or do what you want to do, because youvthink that they're gonna critize you or judge you. Cause you never know the person that's bugging you about things might be like you , and just taking out they're anger out on you.  One day Vince gets knocked out and everything but then when he turns around he sees that theres this guy above him. This guy is his "fairy godfather" and is there to help Vince and is there to try to help him out with his problems. He's also there to help Vince realize that there's a lot more people out there like him . Vince sees something very intresting he closes his eyes and then he realizes that about half of the people around him are either blue or turning blue. This is because they're either gay or turning gay.

       As I said before the whole general theme is to be who you want to be and do what you want to do and stop worrying about what people are going to say because they're always gonna talk.  I feel like a lot of kids that are unsure about themselfs should read this story. The boy that was bullying and bothering Vince about things his name is Butch. So in this story Vince gets three wished and one of his wishes he was to turn Butch blue, but when the fairy godfather went to make his wish true he came back and said "you still got one wish left kiddo, Butch Carrigan was already blue as the summer sky when I got there" . This proves the first theme of the story. That you should hide from someone because your scared of the way they might react because they might be just like you.

       Kids that are gay need to realize this because yea of course people are going to judge you but you also have to think about the people that are like you and the people that support you because the judgemental friends and the bullies are going to be out numberd by the people that actually care about you. You also have to ecept yourself before anyone else can.
