To Read or not to Read

I made a goal for myself, to Read 100 by the end of the year 2018. To be honest I only read 3 books going on 4. The book I’ve been reading is called The Hate U Give By Angie Thomas. She is an outstanding author and I recommend you guys to give this book a try. Suggest at your next book club meeting or next school assignment. Trust me; you’ll never wanna put the book down, I’m almost done and I don’t want it to end. I might read it a second time.

Angie Thomas was born and raise in Jackson Mississippi, still lives there. She was former teen rapper whose greatest accomplishment was this book, her first novel and I can’t wait to read more of her work. She earn her BFA in Creative Writing, which to me is outstanding job. (My Source from her book).

From the book to the movie

Yesterday I saw the movie The Hate U Give!!!! And oh wow it was beautiful, moving, powerful and worth a watch a second time. I also read the book, and so many differences. It was the #1 movie everyone is talking about. In my personal opinion I think movie was telling a story and it got everybody listening. I really want to tell you the differences from the book to the movies so bad but I don’t wanna spoil it for anyone who hasn’t seen it yet. That wouldn’t be fair to my viewers. recommend you see this movie and read the book. I give this movie ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. More like a 10/10 rating in my opinion. Trust me when I you will not regret you saw this movie or read the book! Here the trailer if you haven’t seen it yet!!!! I give credit to 20 Century Fox for this video. Check out this youtuber.

A Picture is worth a thousand words

Writing isn't my only passion. Ever heard of the saying (a picture is worth a thousand words.) Well, I am going to show you what I mean. I love taking photos. Of anything, I can catch with my eye. Photography is like art. Another form of journalism. Or another way of putting it, photojournalism. People say taking photos isn't art; drawing or painting or even building is art. But I say it is art. It's like you're taking a story trying to come life. I say art is art. Here a new quote for you: People don't make the art, art makes the people. Understanding what I'm talking about? Here are some examples of my work. And no I don't have a fancy camera. I use my camera from my phone.
