"Love" by Megan Davison

When there's someone you love,
But you want to leave,
How do you say goodbye?
When you say goodbye what happens to that person?
Will they ever forgive you?
Will you destroy them?
How do you move on?
But if they are the one,
Then why would you leave?

there are still certain elements that define 'poetry' - even within "free-verse" poetry.
However this is merely my opinion.

Grade 11 Book Review of the Month

"To Kill A Mockingbird" by H Lee

Jem and Scout live with their widowed father, Atticus, in the small, predominantly white town of Maycomb.

One summer the children meet a little boy named Dill and play on the dangerous property of Boo Radley. They are shot at but constantly find themselves saved by the mysterious Boo who inhabits the house.

At the same time Atticus, who is a lawyer, takes the case of a black man accused of raping a young white woman. As the case unfolds the family is discriminated against and the although the man is proven innocent, he is jailed and the woman's shamed father vows revenge.

The story is interesting and the themes compelling. A mature read.

A captivating and intriguing read.

"The Alchemist" by P Coelho

The novel is life-changing and gripping.
