Mr. White Interview
Recently classroom students were able to investigate their high school principles, Mr. White, vehicle. The students discovered and learned many things. They learned that Mr. White bought his are because he believed it was the most reliable. He bought his car in 82’ and although the outside may not look so great, it runs good. Mr. White quoted, “It is virtually indestructible,” and he wasn’t lying. He did not buy the car bran new, it was pre-owned by a woman. The door handle is broken; he put a strap on the door handle to open it. After having the vehicle for only 3-4 years he was in an accident. Mr. White stated that he ran a red light. He didn’t want to spend too much money getting it fixed so he took it to the dealer and they drilled holes in it to make it run. Mr. Whites Vehicle is truly “virtually indestructible.”

Store Review
American Eagle is one of the most popular clothing stores in the malls today. They have fun, classic clothing for all ages.
At American Eagle it is extremely easy to find what you are looking for. They store is very organized and shows you where to go for what you are looking for. There are many different sections in the store. They have a section for “tops”, which has many different selections. They have T’s and Polo’s, Tank Tops, Hoodies and Sweaters, Outerwear, and others. They have a “bottoms” section, which as well as many different selections. Jeans, Shorts, Dresses, Skirts, Pants are all in this section. They give you a wide variety to pick from. They also have a section of “swim”. The swim area gives you the categories of each swimming suit to choose from. The have an “accessories” and “footwear” section as well. And like the other sections, it gives you different choices of each to choose from.
The clothes are American Eagle have proven to be long lasting. This is not a store where you buy clothes that only last a few months. They don’t rip, or shrink or change shape when you wash them. They keep their color as well. A top buyer of AE quoted “This is a great store- except at the one I go to- the employees are very helpful and if you pay attention to the care instructions, the clothes do last a long time. They are a lot cheaper than A&F or Hollister which is good during the economy these days.”
The employees at American Eagle are always very helpful. They are trained to help costumers with finding the perfect outfit for them. They are highly qualified, even just starting out. They are not rude when asked to help or say no. Most of the time they offer their assistance, you don’t need to ask. Also, they are on of the least expensive stores. They provide great deals on all their clothing. They have special credit cards and coupons that deliver discounts for the purchaser. They also always have sales on some item of clothing. They are a very affordable store.
I would recommend this store to any age. They sell boys and girls clothing and are just as helpful in each department. American Eagle is a great store to shop at, rather it be for your self of someone else.

“Getting Juiced”
The Caribbean islands had a blend full encounter when Lucy lime had murder her spouse Patrick passion fruit and her friend Mandy mango. Investigators say that the crime had taken place on May 21, 2009 at a hotel on the Caribbean Islands. The police had interrogated Lucy Lime that night when they found certain evidence of her committing the crime. As further evidence shows that the two victims were blended to a pulp and then drunk the massacred victims, this was a big investigation that brought the FBI. When asked Lucy Lime said that she new that her husband was having an affaire with her friend Mandy Mango and that she was an exotic dancer that her husband was seeing every other night. Lucy Lime only stated that she was at a salsa class when the murder happened; there was no evidence to conclude that. “I was devastated when I heard about the murder, it was like a piece of my heart was stolen from me,” Lucy Lime said.
The courts have not decided weather to hold this case here in the Caribbean or in America, as they were American citizens. Today we see that evidence has given a clear picture of the crime and the true killer behind the blended massacre. Lucy Lime is going to court in one weak to decide if she is innocent or guilty in the court of law. The question is will the case be solved or will it be blended into a complete mess between a lover full of hate and the lovers who were having their own love boat.

Book Review

Jude by Kate Morgenroth. Still staggering from his drug-dealing father’s murder, moving in with the wealthy mother he never knew, and transferring to a private school, fifteen-year-old Jude is tricked into pleading guilty to a crime he did not commit.
Fifteen–year–old Jude believes that his mother abandoned him at birth. When his heroin–dealer father is murdered, the authorities discover that he is the son of DA and mayor candidate Anna Grady, and that he was kidnapped by his father at three weeks old. His mother welcomes him into her comfortable life and sends him to a private prep school. When a schoolmate dies of an overdose, Jude, though innocent, is mixed up. His mother's boyfriend, Harry, the deputy police commissioner, convinces him to take part in an elaborate charade to help Anna get elected on an anti–drug platform. Harry promises that once she's elected he will come forward with evidence that Jude is innocent. Instead, Jude is tried as an adult, sent to the state penitentiary for five years, and finds that Harry never meant to get him out at all. When Jude finally gets out he is more than determined to prove to his mom and everyone else that he is innocent.
Jude is full of suspense. Every moment kept me on my feet and waiting to see what was going to happen next. It was well written and I really enjoyed reading it. Kate Morgenroth has written other books, such as; Kill me first, Saved, Echo, and They did it with Love. I would like to read any other of her books. She’s a great writer and has great themes and ideas.
I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys suspense and great writing. This novel was intense, and hard to put down. Anyone of the age 13 and up would enjoy this book. Boy or girl. The basic idea of the book was good. About a boy who was confused and lost and had to turn it around on his own.
