The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde


 I really don't know if to refer this to a book or a script. But it's a very interesting play and has some funny moments. The script, is during the Victorian society, and the story is follow two men, Jack Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff. Jack W, is a man that lives a responsible life in the countryside, but theres a secret, he pretends to be a man named "Ernest" in the city. Algernon M, is Jacks amusing friend who also created a fake identity to escape and neglect his responsibilities. As the play goes on, there are these two lovely women both men unintendently fall inlove with Gwendolen Fairfax and lady Cecily Cardew. These two women are of high status and insist and dream of marrying someone named "Ernest", this leads to many misunderstandings and confusion. As the lie is revealed the truth about their identities is revealed, resolving chaos. The play is very much critizizing the Victorian Society, especially the focus on status, marriage, and especially appearances.

Kill Joy

  Kill Joy- by Holly Jackson I've loved Holly Jackson's mysteries since I was in 7th grade, so when I saw that she made a prequel to her famous A Good Girl's Guide to Murder , I checked it out as soon as I could.  The story follows a school-obsessed Pip, taking place in her senior year before looking into the city's tragedy of Andie Bell. In this prequel, she attends a murder mystery party her friend Connor set up for their friend group. We are introduced to characters seen earlier in the A Good Girl's Guide to Murder series, and the contrast of the younger, more naïve teens to the later scarred victims and perpetrators. Through the murder mystery party, Pip finds out her passion for detective work, even through the silly set-up and clues set for them. I'm not going to spoil anything, but Pip threads together a more grand, outlandish solution to the mystery than what was actually prepared. She points out the many flaws in the blanket explanation of the murderer,...

The Motley Fool Investment Guide for Teens

                                                              The Motley Fool Investment Guide for Teens The Motley Fool Investment Guide for Teens is a long and silly name for a not-terribly-long but somewhat silly book. As the name suggests, it’s an investment guide aimed to teach young readers everything from what a stock is to evaluating one using a Price to Earnings Ratio (P/E).  When I first started the book I was concerned that it was going to be overly dense and I would lose interest within a few pages. I was pleasantly surprised that the writers knew their intended audience well and kept it interesting with jokes and quotes from other young readers.  The book was a great introduction to the world of investing. I loved how it introduced me to many new terms, strategies, and important les...
