Last night I watched the premiere episode of Glee. It was hysterically funny. Yet a topic came up that was very interesting to me. The gym teacher/cheer coach said that in high school each student has their role. The jocks, the geeks, the music kids, the outsider kids----and regardless of what group you are in, that is the group you are in and that is where you stay. She suggested that high school is such a segregated society that there is no cross over from group to group.
Do you feel that this is true for Newington High?? Do you think that is just the nature of high school? Do you have examples??

As part of my "Summer of doing things for me" I have decided to review my readings. As you can see below I am part of the summer reading challenge. The first book that I read was a classic book by Jodi Picoult My Sister's Keeper. I would have to say that this was one of the best books by Picoult that I have read. I really do enjoy her style of writing, where she writes from multiple character's perspectives, but she did an extraordinary job in this novel. Her character work was outstanding. I particularly enjoyed her character work with the older brother Jessie. She made him such an interesting character and a great addition to the main story line. I think I connected to this because I see everyday how student react to the various situations in their life. I also loved the ending. I of course won't give that away here, but it was a classic twist Picoult ending.
