The Review Corner: Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children By Ella

The Review Corner

By Ella ✍✍📚🎥📺📝📝

Hello! I’m Ella, and this is the review corner of the school newspaper, where I review both a movie or a book.
Since it’s October and Halloween is a few days away, I chose a very popular book I've heard good things about…

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs!

My Review:
5 OUT OF 5 PANTHER PAWS! 😻
I liked this book a lot! It was really cool and creepy, and one of the things I admired was the use of the vintage photography, which really helped the book get its creepy Victorian vibe. Another thing I liked was the variety of the characters. There was a lot of adventure and fantasy. It was a very cool book, and I recommend it to both 7th and 8th graders.

Lots of them wrote journals and letters, but often times these were burned, sometimes by the women themselves. As President Truman said to his wife when he saw her burning their letters to each other, “Bess, what are you doing; think of h...

History of "Black Friday" By Odessa

The day after the day for giving thanks and appreciation we have the retail phenomenon known as “Black Friday”. Black Friday is notorious and I wanted to take a closer look on how it make a national day in America. The term “Black Friday” was first used in a financial crisis 1869 with the unraveling of gold conspiracy. People have also said that Black Friday is called what it is and when it is, because retail companies used to record their profit in red and black. The whole year would be in a loss, until the day after thanksgiving where it would go black, because of the splurges on discounted items, but this is proved to be untrue. Another untrue story is that in the 1800s, the plantation owners could buy discounted slaves the day after Thanksgiving. This makes the holiday rather messy and repelling, however this was not proved either. It began in Philadelphia in the 50’s, the police described the hordes of people that flowed in the city for the big football game, because...
