A Puppy Called Aero

As with most stories, the begining of the story started with trouble. Liam Creed, the boy in the story was a trouble maker. His mother knew that something was not right about him. He wasn't just plain naughty, but he had something wrong with him that his mother coudn't figure out. Later, he was finally dianosed with ADHD, and that explained all the things that happened in his life. He went on medication, and it helped. But, it didn't helo as much as the puppy that was introduced to his life later on. It is a very touching story.

Parents smoking and often drunk, being temporarily a single parent child, heart breaks and love life, a sickly, mangy dog and menaces, he just goes through each day silently and pouring his feelings in this diary every day. It is a very touching book and it tells us to count our blessings.

The Five People You Meet In Heaven

Edward, or Eddie, for short is the head of the maintenance department at the Ruby Pier, and amusment park. A few weeks earlier, Eddie's doctor told him that he had 'shingles'. Not knowing what on eath that was, he shrugged it off and continued with his life, greasing tracks and making sure that every ride in the park was safe. The park had a new ride, called Freddie's Free Fall, and this would be where Eddie would be killed, in an accident that would make newspapers around the state. When he died, he met five people in heaven whom he influenced, and who influenced him. There was the 'Blue Man', given that nickname because his skin was blue, his old captain, who together they fought in the war, an old woman, who he had no recounting of except that the park he worked in had her name and her picture, his wife, who he had a lengthy conversation with and, a little girl, whom during the war, he only caught a glimpse of her shadow but could not save her though he wanted to because of a raging fire.

All endings are also beginnings. We just don't know it at the time.

Letters To My Teacher

Learning has always been an experience. Whether be it caveman, computer whiz, butcher, baker or candlestick maker, everyone learns from others. Observation and instinct are elements crucial to our very survival. we learn by listening, seeing and doing,and what we lack in classical understanding,we make up for innate awareness. Letters To My Teacher contains letters from different students to their teachers, talking about how they inspired them. Each chapter contains a different understanding about what the teacher did to inspire their students. Some of these students have graduated from school a long time ago, some are even grandparents, but at whatever age they are, they still remember the teachers that had made a difference in their lives.
