    Renewable energy can not only save our environment, but it can also save our damaged ozone layer. The book, Clean Energy tells us a lot about how using nonrenewable energy can harm our planet and it tells is about a lot about what the effects are. I think the goof thing about this book is that after 1 chapter of the book, it sometimes gives the readers an example about what are people around the world doing to reduce the amount of nonrenewable energy we use in our daily life. It also gives us an expert's point of view of each chapter and it also has a call to action part at the end of the chapter. i think this book is a good source if you are researching a topic about renewable energy.

    After I read all this book, I think is very interesting about this book. Global warming is a very important issue that everyone is focusing on. In the book, the reader talks about Global warming and how it happens, also why it's so important to the earth. I really recommend this book because the author gives you lots of information about the global warming and lots of pictures. You should try this book if you are doing global warming for the topic.

    I really enjoy this novel a lot, the main reason is that I like the way that the author writes this book and the techniques he uses to make me get more and more interesting into it and make me wanna read more and more as I go on. This novel is talking about an ordinary human and a vampire's love story, Bella, the human, moved to the gloomy town and meet Edward, the vampire, while studying in school. Edward couldn't look at Bella as a human, he could only see her as meal because Bella is very different to the vampire, her skin and everything just make her really tasty to the vampire. Even though the vampires can control themselves, but when they see Bella, they just can't control themselves, just because that Bella is that special, so Edwards want to protect her, but also want to eat her. After Bella knows Edwards' secret, she determined to uncover his dark secret. Then Bella fell in love with Edwards, and so did Edwards, but as Bellas get closer to Edwards, the more she is putting herself and those around her at risks. But it is too late for them both to turn back even though they want to, because they love each other a lot, and all they both want to do is to protect each other from harm and to also discover each other more. I really really enjoy this book, I would recommend people to read this novel, and I'm also excited for the next series.

    I think this book is a really nice book too because in this book there are 20 different stories in this book, my most favorite story is Romeo and Juliet because it's about a couple fight over their family just to be together forever. Although it is a tragedy, in the end, their love for each other will always in our heart, if the both od their family didn't fight then the ending might be a successful love story, so we shouldn't have that much hostility and love each other and live peacefully with everyone around you, after reading this story I will try to be nice to everyone around me.

    This book is very interesting. This is my first time reading this kind of book. This book is written in the 60's it's a pretty old book. But this book showed how society treats others before. This book is about a white journalist experience the racism discrimination by using medication to darken his skin. This book is very inspiring and also very painful to read. He only darken his skin for seven weeks, but he can't handle it anymore. But what about the blacks that have their skin black forever? They have to experience these kinds of discrimination every day in their whole life. I recommend this kind of book to people who enjoys reading non-fiction books about the history in different perspectives.
