Ashley's Philosophy Corner

Austin's Funnies Corner

    A man was driving down the road with 20 penguins in the back seat. The police stop him and say that he can't drive around with the penguins in the car and should take them to the zoo. The man agrees and drives off.
    The next day the man is driving down the road with 20 penguins in the back, and again is stopped by the same polic officer who says "Hey! I thought I told you to take those to the zoo."
    The man replies, "I did. Today I'm taking them to the movies."

Alex's Random Awesome Corner

    Reminds me of someone I know...except the other people haven't quite figured out how to shoot the bad ideas down as well. :)

Anna's Great Literature Corner

    Ann Rinaldi -an author I have recently stumbled upon, and have found myself astounded by. She is an amazing author. She writes so brilliantly, and her plots are twisted together with such complexities of ideas and characters. She writes historical fiction to let you know, and has this stupendous way of capturing the history and making it something real. Of making it alive. After completeing one of her books, you feel like you know that era/issue like the back of your hand. For instance, her "Wolf By the Ears" and "In My Father's House" do an amazing job of describing hte complications of the Civil War. Then there's "Or Give Me Death", which has this unique and very profound and suprising moral. It's about the wife of Patrick Henry, who apparently was actually the one that inspired the quote "Give me liberty or give me death." If you ever need a good book to read, or an author who has written something that is well worth your time, Ann Rinaldi is who I would recommend.
