Hello and welcome to District Four. I'm sorry that Finnick isn't here to be your host. I know as a member of District Four I should be cheering for my own tribute, but after watching the last two Hunger Games play out I have fallen in love with Peeta Mellark! Why do I love Peeta? He's smart, he's funny, and he's charming. He stands up for what he believes, he's loyal and he's not afraid to do what's right. He's sensitive and caring but can also be strong and kick butt. He fights for Katniss and with Katniss. Peeta is a great diplomat and he knows how to bring people together. He can also be sneaky to get what he wants. Plus, did I mention he can bake? And he's hot!! But it's not just me! We have an underground club of sorts here in District Four-Seafaring Librarians for Peeta! Here's what some of our members had to say about their love for Peeta: - Team Peeta!! I love their relationship because they balance each other perfectly. Where
It also surprises me that they send their children to school and then expect them to not know what the word "oral" means. (Combined with the other word...I wasn't sure how you felt about me saying it on your blog.) I agree that it shouldn't have been taken out in the first place.
ReplyDeleteJessica-I know. I remember in 4th and 5th grade we all discovered the about your body books in the library and we giggled over them all the time. And really, I'm sure that parents did the same thing when they were that age. And yeah, I would probably get weird hits on my blog if I wrote out all the words they were objecting to!:)
ReplyDeleteThat just takes over protectiveness to another level (the level of crazy). It's the dictionary for Pete's sake.
ReplyDeleteI know! Someone suggested we only use Richard Scarry's picture dictionary's from now on. :)
ReplyDeleteI knew it would come to this eventually. Sigh. Very glad it was put back.
ReplyDeleteMargie-I'm glad it was returned too-it should never have left! But I'm glad to see the school had a policy in place that prevented it's removal.
ReplyDeletethis really makes me want to /facepalm
ReplyDeleteJust wait until they start pulling the encyclopedias off the shelves... not to mention the entire anatomy section... might as well get rid of the health books too. Goodness!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I wanted to let you know that I nominated you for the Kreativ Blogger award on my blog. Check it out! :)
Rebecca-Me Too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Natalie!:)
ReplyDeleteJust another entertaining book for us to read about on a banned/challenged books list.
ReplyDeleteCan I snort and shake my head in dismay at the same time? :)
