1,000,000,000 people watch YouTube. Are you 1?

Youtube is being watched all over the world by people everywhere. Finally over 1 billion people are watching videos on it. The company started in 2005 it was a small little website where people could share funny videos. now its a billion viewed website where you can watch music videos, funny videos, and maybe the next big thing.

This article was suppose to get you thinking 'how does youtube affect our living today?' but it didn't really do a good job of it. because it was all facts bout how much it makes or how much the company is worth today. the only good hint the article gave me was the amount of people that watch it and it says which countries its most watched in, but thats not very good.

I think youtube has affected our life today by keeping us connected. YouTube is basically the next step to our world connection. like how boats made it possible to travel across seas, or steam trains made it possible to travel across countries faster, cars making it even faster to travel, or like planes keeping the whole world together, and now we internet which has social websites that keep everyone together. YouTube is basically our next step in our social connection trip. with out YouTube the countries who just got democracy would probably still be ruled by a dictatorship.

YouTube brings everyone all around the world not only joy and happiness but also togetherness. It keeps us connected and knowing whats going on around the world faster then we've ever done before.

Kiki Strike #2

Kiki Strike is a very complex character, she's mysterious, dangerous, Clever, secretive, and very ambitious and um only in the first hundred pages of the book. She has different layers but so far she's only shown the first two, the first layer she has is a very short unhealthy pale looking kid. but the second layer is the total oppostie it's filled with danger. But its not just Kiki its how the res if the "Irregulars" are affected by her. 

Some of Kiki's characteristics rubbed off on to Ananka. Before Anaka was the quite and innocent girl stuck in a rut,  Until Kiki came into her life "All it took was a single sentence, and Kiki Strike had me hooked" like Ananka said. After that Ananka decided to follow her, and that doesn't sound like an innocent girl. After that Ananka Agreed to a Dangerous Expedition into The Shadow City, before she met Kiki she wouldn't have agreed to anything like that. So Ananka is either a follower or she was peeled away the other personality.

Kiki's personality is so strong that she has some to give away. Ananka peeled away her old personality and went with the new one she picked up from Kiki. But in away i feel like Ananka idolizes Kiki, because she took from he personality. Well Like people say "People Change You"but in a good way. But its kinda weird how Kiki found her and Ananka didn't find her, it's kinda like fait but pushed forward a little by a girl. In the end it think Ananka is going to turn into a mini Kiki and go against Kiki because if their where to Kiki's in the same room they would destroy each other. 

The Last Of Kiki Stirke

Just finished the book Kiki Strike Inside The Shadow City by Kirsten Miller. This book is about a girl named Anaka who gets mixed up with a mysterious girl named Kiki Strike. she meets 4 other girls DeeDee, Oona, and Luz that make up the Irregulars. They all go on an adventure to discover The Shadow City, but it was really a secret mission that Kiki had them do for her, but one wrong turn and DeeDee gets hurt, all the girls turn on Kiki who magically Dissapears. while all this is going on Princess Sidonia has been planning on campuring Kiki Strike and to kill her before Kiki kills her, the big event that ends up happening that Kiki is really a princess shes Princess Katerina. but no matter who Kiki said she would be people can be anyone they say they are.

even though Kiki ended up being a nice surprise of a person, she really couldve been anyone. i mean why would you trust a girl who you never saw before and just shows up out of nowhere especially if you live in New York. And who gives you the right to go ahead and follow the same mysterious girl around New York in winter at night? Hello do you want to be killed or raped? And if that same mysterious girl who you followed gives her a note saying "your not very good at following people" that gives you a perfectly good reason , its practically an invitation to give up on your so called obsession on this girl. But noooo you have to go up to her and ask, a girl you never saw before and you want to do all that in New York you are just asking to die now. thats all Anaka does it doesn't matter if Kiki turned out to be a best friend it matter what stupid death wishes she made to become bestfrends with her.

some people just need to get up and relialze what stupid thing they're doing and stop it before they get killed. but still have fun but stupid things like in scarey movies, dont go down stairs in you underwear when you hear a noise saying "hello?" no, no you just go down stairs with a bat and maybe a sweater and say "Come out, Come out wherever you are". and also dont go down a dangerous alley in the middle of the night your going to die then no doubt. Just do safe things that you wont regret the best thing to do.

Kiki Strike

Kiki Strike by Kirsten Miller is a very hard book to get into, but i got through it. So far the book is about a girl (who I don't know the name of yet) who has a very uninteresting life and shes looking for something new, and exciting. Then a random girl she never noticed before named Kiki Strike comes into her life, and im up to the part where she remembers when she went into Shadow City in the crater hole. I think she thinks Kiki has something to do with Shadow City.

She Knows Kiki Strike has something to do with shadow city because Kiki has sent out so many clues. The first   clue Kiki gave away is that she came out of nowhere, like the girl said every girl in the school knew each other they also knew how much money they had, how can a random girl like that come from no where just like the crater hole. The Other clue is that when the class was going around tell the rest of the class what they wanted to be when they grew up and Kiki Strike said "Dangerous" She was the only girl who said something out of the ordinary kind of like the weird crater hole popping up out of know where. Kiki strike is just like the Crater and Shodow city.


Shadow City is very misterious just like Kiki strike, Shadow City came out of nowhere like Kiki Strike, and Shadow City has also caught the main characters attention just like Kiki Strike. I think Kiki Strike symbolizes  Shadow City in a way. But i cant wait to finish my book.

Red is for Remembrance

I finished a book called Red is for Remembrance a while ago. It's apart of a great series, this was the last book of them all. This was an amazing ending because Stacey's (the main character) boyfriend died (Jacob) or so she thought he was really staking out in a camp with amnesia. The camp was good for him but they where really law breakers. This book had everything drama, mystery, suspense, horror, and funniness but the only bad part about is that the author just gave it away at the end.

At the end of the book she finds her boyfriend right, but a couple chapters ahead the last the author gives the whole thing away. She either put the gave it away not knowingly, or she didn't think anyone would figure it out. Well I'm smart enough to figure it out and I'm in 8th grade. Maybe she put it in because she got lazy if that's it then that's bad. But the most logical reason I could think of is she put the "spoiler" in because she wanted us to feel like we're a step ahead of Stacey and to make us yell at the book like people do to the tv saying "Shell is Jacob you idiot go find him!!" That didn't help for me it just made the last few chapters a drag because I'm like "come on I already know what's going to happen.

Well I admit half of what I think she was thinking happened I said in my head "oooohhh Shell is Jacob" but now I know authors put stuff in for a reason but sometimes you don't know. It can just be put in there by accident. But anyway at the end of the book Stacey ad Jacob get back together and live happily ever after. But I really wanted to keep reader maybe a 5th one? But I know it's not going to happen so I'm just going to be here and look for another good book to read.

White Is For Magic

I'm almost done with a book called White Is For Magic. It's an amazing book about a girl named Stacy dreams about the past and it becomes the future, and now she's about to figure out she has to die. But aside from all the drama that she has in her dreams, she has relation ship problems. Her boyfriend caught her almost kissing another boy. The next morning her mom comes for a vistit. She needed to sort things out with her boyfriend but she had to stay and talk with her mother, then to make things worse her mother takes her out to breakfast.

This part of the story was hard to read because I felt that way too when you really had to do something then you have to put it aside because someone got in your way. I just wanted to go inside the book and punch her mom then told her to go talk to her boyfriend. Even talking about it now just makes me shiver, this had to be the worst part of the book but its also the best part. I think the author wanted us to feel like that so we can step inside of Stacy's head and feel the way she's feeling.

All in all the author makes us feel a was for a reason. And the purpose of this event was to make us feel how the character was feeling.
