Poetry Bot

Hey Mr. Greene,

Recently I've moved onto my new college campus in Rochester with a good friend of mine from Nashua. Because we're both going into computer programming in some capacity we decided to work on a project together.
The project we created was called PyPoetry and it is a Twitter bot who will automatically generate and post Haikus. https://twitter.com/PyPoetry. I thought you might enjoy reading a few of them. Anyway, I probably need to stop putting off reading my homework and just get to it now.

   Respectfully,
Matthew "The Hammer" O'Herren

Angelica N's last book review

By Angelica N.


This book is about a girl who is anorexic, everyone believes that she is happy and full of life, but she actually is struggling with self love and a eating disorder. She eats less and self harms, she pretends like everything's okay and that she is very happy, but when no one's around, she breaks down, self harms and makes herself throw up just to "lose weight". This book changed my perspective on mental illness disorders, it's so sad i read it and it basically affected me. I felt so bad i even skipped a meal or two, not because of my body weight, because i felt bad that she did it daily, just to feel good, and stronger.

Stayed up til 1:30 am just to finish this

SLAAAMM DUUNNKK!!

By: Isaiah B.
Mike Lupica is one of the most well known writers today. A few of his books such as Travel Team, Million Dollar Throw, the and Miracle on 49th Street I have enjoyed reading. A book I recently read by him that I've enjoyed is Fast Break. Fast Break is a fiction book about a boy who is living on his own because his mother died, and because he was abandoned by his mother's boyfriend. He is all by himself at the age of 12 with a goal of getting out of this struggle. The only family he has are his friends and the basketball court behind the projects in North Carolina Hills. Knowing he has no guardian Jayson does whatever he can to not be sent to foster care.
