Fench Toast

 Authors Note: For this topic I chose to write about how I don't like or understand french toast.


Well where to start off. That's the tricky part finding out what to write about for french toast. For one thing I don’t think I like french toast even though I’ve never tasted it. Maybe one day I will go to France and go to the best restaurant that has the best french toast. Of course if the restaurant costs a ton of money then I’ll just have to settle in for what we have here. If any of you good people know a place not too far away or too expensive, please let me know as soon as possible because now I want some french toast or any toast really.

Dream Pet

My dream pet is like any other dream pet that most three to ten year-old girls would love to have which is a horse. I’ve always wanted a horse ever since I saw the movie “Black Beauty”. So if I could have a horse I would want a black Mustang that I broke myself. A lady told me that mustangs really bond with their owners.

High Heels

High Heels

One time I was a pair of high heels and I really disliked my owner who is a top secret spy and she used high heels for weapons. Even if my heel didn’t hit the target the force from my owner throwing me knocked the bad guys out. If I hit the head of course. It’s like a three year-old throwing me around or is trying to break my heel. It feels like I’m not important at all. When my owner isn’t throwing me around she is wearing me with unnatural non matching clothes which is disgusting.

Leadership-
"There in the midst of the other horses was the great black stallion, the leader of the band."

Protector-
"At a full gallop he snaked around the wide circle, roughly bunching the mares and colts into the smaller circle of an invisible corral."

Gentleness-
"Off the wind from the herd, a red mare came out from the fold of the low hills opposite. She stood motionless a moment, her graceful head held high."

Loyalty-
"He stops and nickers. She nickers in reply and comes close to him, her nose touching his flank. They stand a moment."

Defeat-
"The stallion was conquered. Never again would he roam the plains, proud and free, the monarch of his herd."

Compassion-
"Tears blinded his eyes and from his throat cam the sound of a single sob. It was as if he himself were being broken and tied."

Parties and Potions

 Even though we all know that witches don’t exist in the world some people like to pretend they do. In this book there is a whole other story with boy and girl witches. One interesting thing is that there is no boy witches, boys that have powers are called warlocks instead. So you see that there is a whole other twist with the witches and warlocks. “Parties and Potions” is completely a story that will pull you into real life with its realistic life capturing moments with romance and a ton of drama. I assure you that what I’m telling you is true.

The main character “Rachel” in this novel is going through a tough time with these two boys she really likes: Raf and Adam. Rachel was already dating Raf when she met Adam in Charm school. Adam thinks that she should tell Raf the truth about her being a witch. Rachel tried telling her dad but it wasn’t how she hoped it would and didn’t want to go through it again with Raf so she broke up with him, heartbroken.  Also with what happened with her dad, telling him the truth almost made him faint not wanting to see the girls for a while to take it all in. That really started to upset the girls mostly Miri; Rachel’s little sister. During that time for the next few paragraphs all Rachel wanted to do is lie in bed and cry herself to sleep. Reading the part about her breaking up with Raf and her crying almost made me cry and feel miserable, same with her seeing her dad and not being able to see or speak to him made me miss my dad. This is only the drama part of the spectacular story.

What I am about to tell you doesn’t happen in most stories. It is the story of young love. Rachel finally gets the guy of her dreams and believe it or not, she counts every single kiss they shared and got up to one hundred and thirty-two kisses, then at the end they did one more that made one last kiss that was number hundred and thirty-three. Those two really liked each other from the very beginning. They would go out to a pizza place with their friends and hang out at each other’s house watching movies. Rachel does start to like the new guy Adam but only as a friend, though he does start to like her and tries to kiss her but she refuses. I know I would do the same thing even though in the book she was flirting with him without even knowing it.

Because of all the different characters that are in the book. One time in the book Rachel finds out that there is something very strange about Raf, it is that he likes to yell at movies. Rachel invited him over for a movie night and he was just going on yelling at the actors saying “Get out of the way” or “Don’t go in the closet are you mad”. Whenever Rachel gets nervous she sometimes falls randomly by tripping on something right in the middle of a party. This mostly happened whenever she saw Adam and Miri would make a kissy face. I would always feel so embarrassed like it happened to me or someone I know.

It really breaks my heart to say this but this is the last book Sarah Mlynowski made and so goes the magic. I will always remember this with its humorous life breaking adventures and magic.
