The Whole World is Together

The whole world is struggling together. People from Italy to Spain to America to Russia are all suffering and trying together. We have to remember that even though we are by ourselves, we are not alone.

Sea Turtles!

By Antoinette and Michelle Durand

Sea turtles live everywhere in the ocean, except in the chilly Arctic Ocean. They are omnivores, so they eat jellyfish and seagrasses.

The main predator of sea turtles are humans. Other than us, sharks, fish, dogs, and ghost crabs kill sea turtles.

Book Review

By Antoinette Durand

I received a request to do a review of The Fault in Our Stars by John Greene.

The Fault in Our Stars is a powerful and meaningful book. The main character is Hazel. Hazel has stage IV thyroid cancer with satellites in her lungs. Hazel is going to die, maybe not immediately, but it looms over her. Water is constantly threatening to fill up her lungs.

Augustus Waters has one leg. He survived cancer, and fell in love with someone who’s been nothing but terminal since she was thirteen.

Can their love survive when Hazel is going to die?

Advice Column

By Antoinette Durand

Turns out, being at home constantly means that there are significantly more messes. At my house, Saturday is the dreaded ‘Deep Clean Day’ when we clean bathrooms and bedrooms and sweep floors. I hide out with my sister in her bedroom, trying to avoid chores. Even though we clean and do chores daily, Saturdays are the day of deep work.

How does one avoid these massive work loads all at once. Even with daily chores like cleaning the kitchen and doing laundry, sometimes even then it’s hard to avoid long to-do lists.

Try doing a hard, messy, terrible task (scrubbing sinks, vacuuming carpets, ect.) per day. That’s almost all you can do to get around huge work loads given all at once.
