Every Other Weekend : a Review By Isa      “Adam Moynihan’s life used to be awesome. Straight As, close friends and a home life so perfect that it could have been a TV show straight out of the 50s. Then his oldest brother died. Now his fun-loving mom cries constantly, he and his remaining brother can’t talk without fighting, and the father he always admired proved himself a coward by moving out when they needed him most.       Jolene Timber’s life is nothing like the movies she loves—not the happy ones anyway. As an aspiring director, she should know, because she’s been reimagining her life as a film ever since she was a kid.

With the powerful demon (Hakaimono) withi...

 Book Review:  Of Mice and Men by John Steinback by: Luke Fahnestock           Of Mice and Men is a timeless classic which engages the reader in its straightforward yet intriguing plot. I was recently privileged with reading this fine work of literature. I did not know what to expect when I picked up the small, slim novel from the shelf, but I trusted the title’s reputation. As soon as I opened the book, I was transported back to a simpler time and place. The serene introduction set me off into the world of two unlikely companions, trying to make their way through the sorrows of the Great Depression. George Milton and Lennie Small are polar opposites. George is a small, wiry man with a quick mind and somewhat cold sentiment. Lennie, on the other hand, possesses a giant frame and inhuman strength, but has the mind and innocence of a child, struggling to comprehend the simplest subjects and often getting into trouble. The two friends were born in...
