I’ve read the book “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” a number of times (it’s brilliant, of course) and I just re-read it a few days ago in preparation for seeing the film today. I was so anxious to see it, and I got SO angry every time new cities were released and it wasn’t mine. But finally, here it is.. and here’s my thoughts. Under the cut to stay spoiler-free!
In my attempt to branch out by blogging about different thing, here’s the first movie review I’ve written in probably five years – a look at the 2010 independent movie, @urFRENZ, which takes a look at social media and the (sometimes scary) effects it can have.
After attending the Civil War reenactments a few weekends ago in Mumford, I have to admit my interest in the Civil War and history. was piqued.
I took several history courses throughout school. In high school, it was global followed by AP European History & AP American History. In college, I took two American history courses, as well as a Canadian history course (which I found quite interesting). I considered adding a minor in history of European countries, but it was late in my college career by that point and would have set me back.
Now, however, I find myself intrigued by history once again. Working at a library, I’m surrounded by heaps of books on the topic – so I selected one and have begun reading it. Pictured to the left, this book is all LISTS of facts concerning the American Civil War (1861 – 1865).
