Review: Teachers and Politicians Should Take Notes from Up from Slavery (Spoilers)

Last week for my American Literature course, I read and finished Booker T. Washington's autobiography Up from Slavery, which is the story of how he grew up, was able to go to school, and eventually founded the famous Tuskegee Institute (now Tuskegee University). In my eyes, this book is completely unproblematic. It's his raw story... Continue Reading →

Review: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Should be Put Back in Schools (Spoilers).

Continuing with my game of "Ban or Unban," we're going to be taking a look today at Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the much more famous sequel to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Interestingly, part of why this book is so popular is because it hasn't just been banned today, but it was... Continue Reading →

Review: Tom Sawyer is an Excellent Prequel (Spoilers)

Happy Black History Month! Why we need a month dedicated to people based on the color of their skin, I have no idea, but here we are. For this month, I've decided to play a little game with my book reviews that I call "Ban or Unban" where I look at some books that have... Continue Reading →

Review: Miracles by Eric Metaxas…Why?

As most of you know by now, I'm homeschooled and the curriculum that I use, while being good at teaching me things like history, math, science, English, etc. leans towards Christianity and includes reading for understanding the faith and stuff like that. Unfortunately, however, the lady who now runs the curriculum is very much into... Continue Reading →

Blog/Apologetics: I Ran into the Mother God Cult at the Mall.

I'm really hoping that I don't get sued for writing this. The Mother God cult is not something that you want to mess with. Even the apologist Mike Winger had to take down his YouTube video on this cult because they were threatening legal action against him if he didn't. But with that worry out... Continue Reading →

Review: Emma…How Not to be a Friend (Spoilers)

Back in October, I did a review of the 90's movie Clueless staring Alicia Silverstone and as it turns out, that movie was based on Jane Austen's comedy Emma. At the time, I had never read Emma and had only seen the movie version with Gwyneth Paltrow, a movie which, while accurate to the book,... Continue Reading →

Review: The Office Season 1

That's right, guys. Finally, after a year of watching clips of The Office on YouTube, I have finally acquired seasons one through six on DVD, which means that since Christmas, I have been binge watching the show with my brother. My evil plan to drive my parents crazy with soap opera-esque romantic intrigue and the... Continue Reading →

The Terradraconis Saga: The Tale of Myfanwy – Book 4

The date of the wedding was set, the people  glad, for they loved the bride. They adorned the steeple  of the temple where prince and saint were to be wed  with Myfanwy’s roses as thanks, for when darkness spread  she brought them hope and light, and their loyalty  was forever secured. Roses for royalty  and... Continue Reading →

Review: Catherine Called Birdy (2022) Sucked (Spoilers)

When I was in 5th grade, one of my required reading books was Catherine Called Birdy, a story about a girl growing up in medieval England and coming to terms with the transition from being a young girl with hardly a care in the world to a young woman with responsibilities, a transition that's not...

The Terradraconis Saga: The Tale of Myfanwy – Book 2

Of the gods, we know not much of their ways, their wishes or faces, hidden from our gaze.  Hardly do they reveal to mortal men, for our eyes must be set on the one who reigns then.  They serve faithfully, the one who rules all, and we, once passed, shall be messengers at his call.  In times of...
