Activism at its finest.
Burning the Midnight Oil
The interactive blog is based on the novel we are reading in class, Notes From the Midnight Driver by Jordan Sonnenblick. This blog will be a compilation of summaries, literary elements, thoughful insight and playful banter. Both of my preAP classes will be participating in the blogging as well and will be posted as people I am following.
"One car crash. One measly little car crash. And suddenly, I'm some kind of convicted felon. My parents are getting divorced, my dad is shacking up with my third-grade teacher, I might be in love with a girl who could kill me with one finger, and now I'm sentenced to babysit some insane old guy. What else could possibly go wrong?"
