According to the syllabus online, Dead High Yearbook is the only reading due this week. Maybe because the talk to teen papers are due this week too.
I am not sure how to write an entire blog about that book. I am sure teens like it, it's a cool concept and the pictures are big and colorful. I kinda liked it. But not enough to really write something lengthy about it. I liked how some of the stories were interconnected. And, I didn't feel particularly bad for any of the teens who died. I guess that says something. I guess since the deaths were all supernatural, it made it more amusing than sad. Unlike, Looking for Alaska where a teen dies (and makes you cry for, I dunno, hours on end.)
I think for this week we were also supposed to watch the Dark Knight. I think I am the only person in the world who has yet to see that movie. But, I really don't like superhero movies. I don't like Spiderman, or Superman or the last million Batman movies. So, I will apologize for not watching it but I just can't bring myself to do it. I find them dark and depressing and Batman is especially depressing, and I'm not even referring to Heath Ledger.
Oh, and I'll take this time to mention that I will be doing my annotations on something related to Twilight. I know this is shocking.

Yeah, Dead High is definitely for reluctant readers who don't want to dip too deeply into a story, even if it is gross. I think we pretty much captured everything we need to say about it in class.
The Dark Knight was soooooo creepy.
'Nuff said :)
