Tumblr Bought by Yahoo

A little birdy told me that tumblr has been bought by Yahoo!

Early  this morning Yahoo announced it would be acquiring Tumblr for $1.1 billion in cash. They promised "Not to screw up." 

In response, the Tumblr community freaked out, they posted many thing like,"Don't destroy fandoms," and “So Yahoo bought Tumblr, which means it’s time to pack my bags and move on."

Many think that what happened to Flickr, will happen to Tumblr. Sign up fees, ads etc.. Though Yahoo has said they won't do such a thing... we still have to see what happens. 

Write down below what you think should happen to Tumblr!

The Great Gatsby

One of the most finest books in English literature was recently adapted into a movie, this movie is indeed,      "The Great Gatsby, written by F Scott Fitzgerald in 1925. The narrator of the story is Nick Carraway  a bond salesman who lives in the imaginary town of West Egg. The story is about Jay Gatsby, a millionaire who throws the most lavish parties and his love for Daisy Buchanan. Nick get invited to one of his parties and is asked to reunite Daisy and him together, the story is about; never letting anything change you,despite the circumstances.

The author, F Scott Fitzgerald  (September 24, 1896 – December 21, 1940). Was an extraordinary writer in the English Literature. He's written; 5 Novels, 10 Short Stories and, 13 Notable Short Stories. His legacy was to take steps in whatever you do, have it be writing, basketball, tennis, or drawing etc. always do what you want to do, fast.

**highly recommend to see the movie**  

We are Silent

On Thursday April 18, 2013 I was silent.Through a campaign by Free The Children, founded by Craig Keilburger when he was 13. The purpose of staying silent, not talking for an entire 24 hours was because children all over the world are denied of having their basic needs and their voice to stand up for themselves. When I woke up in the morning I literally had sticky notes everywhere that said," SILENT,"  just in case I forgot. I could not mumble, shout, whisper, or speak. I did this throughout the course of the day, it was hard.  Going to each class and everyone was talking it was so hard I nearly gave up. When I finally started talking I was  surprised because kids at my age and below don't have to right to talk and this could go for 1 month, 1 year, and maybe 10 years and many times their entire life. We use our voices everyday like talking to our friends and family. Our voice is the key to our freedom. Whenever you doubt this, try to stay silent and you will see how much weaker you feel. Our silence is their voice, We are lending our voice to help them speak up. We stand up for bullying, abuse, self-harm, and many other things, why not this? It is the same problem, they live in fear and cannot stand up for themselves. So on Thurday April 18, 2013 I was silent. For more information go to...
