Blog 52 - Mid-Term 2010-part 3
3)New York Times best sellers
Percy Jackson and the Olympians
The Percy Jackson and the Olympians is currently number four on the children's series best seller list for New York times. The books are right behind the Harry Potter books, which is behind The Hunger Games, and which The Diary of a Wimpy kid took home the first place prize. The book is by Rick Riordane. It says ages 9-12, but currently I disagree with that. I think this book can be enjoyed by people of all ages, well not the young lads and lasses.
The book is about a young boy named Percy who finds out he is a half blood, half human half Greek god, and his father is god of the sea. (Which makes him be able to breath under water.) He has to go to camp half blood where he will be kept away from monsters and such. He meets a satyr named Grover, Luke, and Annabeth. Luke turns over to the Titan gods and becomes evil, and Annabeth and Percy start liking each other. All along the series they go on adventures saving the world and the Olympians. Each book they find themselves in more trouble, but use their power and friendship to get them out. Luke gives his body over to Kronose, and Percy is afraid Annabeth will be too scared to fight Luke when the world depends on it. Will they save Olympus, or will the Titan gods take over?
Percy Jackson books are fun to read, and can be read by people pf all ages I say. I am a few chapters away from finishing the last book, which makes me sad. These books are funny and entertaining to read. It has a spark of romance in a few parts though. If I where you and I didn't read these books yet, I would go purchase (or borrow) these books, and then read them.

Blog 52 - Mid-Term 2010-part 1
1)Time Magazine Article
Sarah Palin Visits Haiti
The once governor of Alaska went to visit Haiti, but only for forty eight hours. She went to visit Haiti with her reality TV daughter, Bristol, and her husband, Todd. Most camera's were off during the trip, but she allowed Fox cameras, where she works as a new annalist, to record some things. The trip had been planned almost a whole month in advanced. She helped the Samaritan's Purse, which has made about 10,000 different temporary shelters for those hurt in the earthquake.
When she went to see them she noted that it was one of the poorest and much harsher places she had ever been to. When someone asked her about the trip she said, "We are so fortunate in America, and we should use that fountain to help others. The Samaritan's Purse is still her doing all the hard work." Sometimes world-wide known people only do charity things like this for good publicity, which is worse than not going at all. It's nice that she remembered Haiti still. Many people have forgotten them and moved on to other things.
She held and an eight month old baby, but with the conditions it was in, it looked among eight weeks old. Most of the locals paid no attention to little old Palin. In fact, when asked about her most of them didn't even know her name. Some didn't even realize she was there at all. Some are even saying she went there just so they could know her name......

Busy Hurricane Predicted for 2011
The Atlantic Hurricane forecast calls 17 tropical storms. Nine of which are predicted to become hurricanes. Meteorologists students at Colorado State University say at least five will be category three or above. Most people are making the 2011 hurricane season as the worst hurricane season will be the worst in decades. All I can say is go in your home, stick some boards out, and stock up on food and water for the nest hurricane season.
