Current Connections #2

         Batesville Daily Guard, the newspaper of Batesville, informs us about Pancake Day Set, which is Kiwanis Club will be holding the forty second annual Chubby Menard Pancake Day. In the forty one years that it has been going on, they have served over 100,000 pancakes. I can connect with this article because I think keeping tradition going is very unique.
         Larry Price, president of Kiwanis Club, puts out a sign for the Chubby Menard Pancake Day. Taking time out to keep a tradition going is a good way to help children to keep traditions going. Everybody loves pancakes!! And this experience would be really swell for families to attend. In conclusion, I hope that everyone attends and enjoys Kiwanis Clubs' Chubby Menard Pancake Day.

book Review

        Simone Elkeles' Chain Reaction  mesmerized me with all its love and emotions. ''Yeah " she says, kissing me. "Yeah, it does. You once told me that I make you believe in the impossible, you make me believe in love, which I had given up on. Thank you for proving to me it's not just a fairytale.'' That is my favorite quote from Chain Reaction, shared between main characters Luis and Nikki. This book touched me and it is now my favorite book.
         This book is definitely a romantic comedy. the romance between the two main characters is amazing. They feel pain, regret, and love. And they still keep going on. I love the way this book is written. Each character has their own chapter. The characters in this book are very like able. Nikki is the female main character of the book. She is a bit sweet but has an edge to her. In the book, Chain Reaction, Nikki is asked to dance by the main male character Luis. And she knees him really hard. Luis is sweet but wild, in Chain Reaction Luis climbs a cliff and gets bitten by a snake and falls off of the cliff.I really liked the two main characters, I can relate to the book, because I fell for a guy that I never thought was possible which is the same thing that happened between Nikki and Luis.
        This book is definitely an amazing book that I think would be great for everyone to read. This book shows love and compassion in amazing ways. Reading this book was a great experience. I really hope I get a chance to read the rest of the series and I hope everyone else does too!
