Angels and Demons

If I could save any book in the world for future generations I would choose the book Angels and Demons. I would choose this book because I believe that this book is a great thriller and mystery book. Angels and Demons is about a man named Robert Langdon who is a Harvard symbologist. Throughout the book Langdon gets thrown into a situation where he has to help other scientists try to stop the Illuminati from destroying Vatican City. There are different mysteries that Langdon has to help the other scientists solve throughout the book in order to figure out who is responsible for trying to destroy Vatican City. The book ends with a twisted thrill that the reader would have never guessed for the ending. I enjoy this book so much because there is never a dull moment during this book. Each chapter ends and begins with a new and exciting part of the story. The book also has interesting information that helps to keep the reader interested in the book as well. I have never enjoyed reading a book as much as I enjoyed reading Angels and Demons. I believe even if people do not enjoy reading, that they would actually enjoy reading this book.

Halloween!!


                When I was younger, Halloween was something that I looked forward to every fall. I loved going to the stores and picking out new Halloween costumes and dressing up. When I was little my mom and dad would take me and my brothers around to all of the neighbor’s houses and my aunts and uncles. As I grew older, my mom would take me and my friends around to visit our other classmate’s houses. Once we learned to drive our friends would all get together and we would drive ourselves and still visit other people’s houses. These were some of the most fun memories because it was always fun to drive around and visit houses and not talk or even laugh until whoever was guessing your name got your name right. I also always looked forward to other kids coming and visiting our house. I thought it was always fun and challenging to try to guess the person’s name.
                In our small town, there was always a church Halloween party that we would go to on the closest Sunday to Halloween. At the church party there were games and different activities that the children could do to win Halloween candy and small prizes. Before we would play these games and everything the kids would all walk around our town with their friends or parents and visit all of the people who lived in town. Halloween was something that I enjoyed dressing up for my whole childhood, and I still enjoy dressing up in fun costumes and seeing all of my friends dressed in different outfits.
