I’m reading My Most Excellent Year by Steve Kluger.
Freaking amazing.
I love this book and its going to be in my favorites and soon I shall buy it and hoard it…Yes.IT’S SO ADORABLE THOUGH! And funny!
I don’t know what else to say other then that Augie is going to go live in my closet along with the old crazy grandma from Willy Wonka. Who is also adorable.
NOT THE POINT!
This book is almost as good as putting whip cream on cool whip then adding some jello-Which is delicious.
You just pick it up and feel happy!
I originally got this book because my friend made me, and I’m so glad that I did.
Man it’s a lot harder to blog about books I can’t make fun of.
I think I need to check if this author’s written any other books, because he’s that awesome. And everyone should read this book because it’s just that amazing.Think…I shall talk about…OH!
HOW ADORABLE TC and AUGIE ARE! …I don’t care that I sound like a squealing fan girl.
They call themselves brothers even though Augie is Asian and TC is white, and they live like brothers to. They call their parents ‘Mom, Dad, and Pop’ TC’s mom died so she doesn’t get a fun name…But still.
Now to move onto something irrelevant. Augie is cute but what makes him cuter is the fact he’s gay. I can’t explain it but his gayness makes him just that much better. I think it’s because he always makes it funny. Like when the guy he liked held his hand he nearly had a heart attack.
Him dying isn’t funny, but how it was written made me cry from joy xD

ZOMGOODNESS
I'm actually using my blog for something useful!
AHHHH!!!!

INTRO
-GAHQUOTETHATISADORABLE-It’s not uncommon for someone to die for a cause, even in today’s times reforms are still happening and are still being supported by many people like Archbishop Oscar Romero. Oscar Romero was not only a martyr for his religion, but a martyr for his people. Like his people, Romero lived a difficult life all during his childhood, reforms, and up until his death. Not all of Romero’s childhood was spent getting him ready to be the archbishop; in fact it wasn’t until his teenage years that he began studying in theology.
CONCLUSION
Even after his death Romero made a difference in the people’s lives as a constant inspiration and reminder of peace.
Today he is known as ‘The Voice of the People’(cite website) because that is truly what he was. He defended the peasants while the government tried to oppress them, he made it clear that such abuse was not to be tolerated. Romero felt not only the pain of his people but his own as well. The hardships he suffered through in his childhood, reforms, and through death are what make him memorable. He would not be intimidated by those who hated him; instead he met them with criticism and love. His peaceful response to the violence around him is what made him such a memorable leader of the people surrounded by violence.
