Geraldo No Last Name

Title: Geraldo No Last Name Author: Sandra Cisneros I'd Recommend to... English students My Rating: 2/5 My Thoughts: Geraldo No Last Name is about Marin's friend telling the story of what happened to Marin. She met a guy named Geraldo at a dance, then he was killed in a hit and run car accident. She was the last person to see him alive, so she has been questioned by many. This is an extreemely short story - not even two pages long. We read it in English to learn about style, and most of the students didn't like the story at all. I didn't think it was that bad, but it definatley seemed a bit pointless, and I didn't really get anything out of it. It didn't even help me learn about style, which it was supposed to.

To Kill a Mockingbird

Title: To Kill a Mockingbird Author: Harper Lee Published: 1960 Summary: (back of the 50th Edition book) The unforgettable novel of a childhood in a sleepy, Southern town and the crisis of conscience that rocked it, To Kill a Mockingbird became both an instant bestseller and a critical success when it was first published in 1960. It went on to win the Pulitzer Prize in 1961 and was later made into an Academy Award-winning film, also a classic. Compassionate, dramatic, and deeply moving, To Kill a Mockingbird takes readers to the roots of human behavior-to innocence and experience, kindness and cruelty, love and hatred, humor and pathos. Now with over 18 million copies in print and translated into ten languages, this regional story by a young Alabama woman claims universal appeal. Harper Lee always considered her book to be a simple love story. Today it is regarded a s masterpiece of American literature. I'd Recommend to: High School and College students Rating:

Four Weddings

TV Show: Four Weddings Channel: TLC My Thoughts: Four brides all attend and rate and judge each others weddings to see who will be rewarded with a dream honeymoon based on the scores the other brides give them. They're judged on overall experience, venue, dress, and food. This show is on everyday after What Not To Wear, so naturally, I watch t his too. Its cool to see how the different weddings are and to see how people judge weddings. Some of the dream honeymoons they've had has not seemed so spectacular to me, though. But it also shows how much they spent on the wedding, so you can see like how much things cost.

What Not To Wear

Image
TV Show:  What Not To Wear Channel:  TLC: The Learning Channel My Thoughts: What Not To Wear is a fabulous show that is on every day. Family and friends can nominate people that they think need a fashion makeover to be on it, and the few selected get to go through a whole makeover. They get shown why what they wear is inappropriate and learn how to make it better. They go shopping by themselves, then with the professionals, get their hair and makeup done, and get to reveal it to their hometown. Most starting points are how most people dress, so it's great to see how - and why you need - to improve your own wordrobe and style.  My Rating: 4.8/5 I'd Reccommend to: anyone who wants to be more stylish

Advice/Feedback Post #1

If you have any feedback, comments, or critizism about PrincessReviews, or would like to have your advice answered, please leave a comment below   Hi ta sha. I'm going through a very difficult situation and could really use some advice. I have an 18 month old daughter and her father wanted nothing to do with us. So I just decided to leave him alone. Now I've been seeing this guy for awhile and I just found out I'm pregnant. The problem is he still lives with his sons mother. Theyre not together he lives there for his son. He wants me to have an abortion which I never believed in. I actually want to have this baby I'm just afraid that if I do we won't be together. I'm afraid it will make it very hard to find someone to be with if I do. But as I said I want this baby. I was on birth control and still got pregnant. So I believe thats a miracle and I think its selfish to kill a baby just because its the wrong time. Have any advice?   It's really quite simple
