A Farewell to Arms book one review

              The first book of A.F.T.A. shows much about Ernest Hemingway's writing style. Its short and two the point, but in doing so it is extremely descriptive. He shows the war as a terrible, inglorious thing that only brings death. The main character, FH, has many qualities similar to the Hemingway protagonist, but the book so far has little action. However, it is easy for me to see that action will come in due time. Hemingway is just setting the story up for its true color.

Why I love guitar

The PRS Tremonti SE, My favorite electric guitar to play, also my best guitar that I own.
            I always loved to listen to music. My favorite genre would definitely be rock, any kind of rock. To me, rock music is something that will never get outdated. I'm not against rap music, but a rap song is a hit for at most a year, then it is generally forgotten. That is never the case for rock music, certain songs can last decades. Another thing I love about rock music is guitar, I love the sounds it can make, the ways it can be controlled and individualized. I got my first guitar at age 9, and I was determined to learn to play. Now I can play guitar better than most people would believe. I love just playing how I feel and making up guitar solos on the spot. My idols of guitar are Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughn, John Mayer, and John Frusciante. As you can see, I play a wide range of rock music, and I love it all. If I hear a song that has excellent guitar in it, I will try to play it. Some of the songs I love to play are Slow Dancing in a Burning Room by John Mayer, Yellow Ledbetter by Pearl Jam, Sweet Child O' Mine by Guns 'n' Roses, Can't Stop by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, and Santeria by Sublime. Playing guitar is something I could do my whole life, and I would never Get Tired of it

Diaperboy

              Willie Windsor may sound like a person who loves children, but be very fastidious.  This is a fifty four year old man who is too adamant to grow up. He acts like a baby, and I mean that literally. He wears diapers, eats real baby food without any punctiliousness, he emolliates his skin by shaving daily, and he even has the tenacity to have enlarged baby furniture in his house.
              Somehow he has a girlfriend intrepid enough to stay with him hoping to have an auspicious relationship. Not to mention he doesn't mitigate the situation by actually using the diapers for their intended use! Windsor is extremely assiduous in keeping this character up, so much that his ex-wife (no surprises there) believes that he is trying to relive his old acting career by putting on this act. He was actually reported to be an exemplary actor in his time.
             Now Willie is reported to say (in baby talk, of course,) he spends his days playing with his girlfriend and scaring parents and children on the playground in the state park. The question most of you are probably asking is, why? I believe that he does it so he doesn't miss being an actor so much, but i here some say that he does it to make up for a bad child hood. I guess you will just have to ask him if you see him one day. Remember this, if there is a bad smell around him, you can probably guess what he did.

Kyle Krichbaum

          Kyle Krichbaum is completely obsessed with vacuum cleaners. Keep in mind this is also a twelve year old boy. He has over one hundred and fifty vacuums in his massive collection which are new and used. I'm sure that if you ever asked him about it he would give you a cogent reason, but don't expect it to be a poignant one. I'm sure that most of us already have an idea of how his social life is going, but he seems happy with it.
        Kyle has been obsessed with vacuums for over eleven years. He states that every time he gets a new vacuum he is always left with a effusive expression on his face. His parents, who seem to still cohesively believe its just a phase, say that his love for vacuums is not very convoluted. " He just loves to hear the sound of the vacuum, that's why he vacuums five times a day." While questioning his father, I asked if Kyle's obsession ever got a little hackneyed, his response was extreme but not very unsurprising. "It can get a bit annoying at times, especially his four in the morning tidy up, but I guess you have to think of the old adage 'don't kill the boy or you will get arrested.'"
       It was the florid speech of his mother that I found most didactic. " We love our dearest Kyle so much that we can overcome the constant vacuuming and collecting that he loves so much. We have a rapport that he will go to college and not just vacuum the house all day. If he has bad grades, we lock up the vacuums in the basement until he makes them better."  I think that Kyle's parents have parenting down, they use his love for vacuums to make his life better. While his parents may be supportive, his older sister of fifteen has other ideas.
        " I hate all his vacuuming! I never invite friends over any more because of it. How is he going to get friends if all he ever does is talk about vacuums?" Even though the annoying girl may have a point, I find Kyle Krichbaum very interesting. Who else would care so much about something as normal as vacuums and collect them? Plus, I could probably talk him into vacuuming my house every once and a while for free. Who knows, Kyle could have a future after all. This is Repor Ter with channel 11 news, good night.
