Boy Meets Boy

by David Levithan

 " I've always known i was gay,but it was't confirmed till i was in kindergarten."page 8 chapter 2 paragraph 1

 " It was my teacher who said so.it was right there on my kindergarten record card: PAUL IS DEFINITELY GAY AND HAS VERY GOOD SENSE OF SELF." page 8 chapter 2 paragraph 2.

   In Boy Meets Boy By David Levithan, Paul is a unlike any other sophomore, what makes him different from other boys in his grade is that he is GAY!!! But with his friends, the home coming queen and star quarter back, Infinite Darlene, Joni, one of Paul's best friends, and Tony, Paul's other best friend, how isn't aloud leave his house unless he tells his parents that he is out on a date... with a female. they have their own little secret gay society, he will Paul just fine.

  In the book i love how the character's hangout spot is a type of book store that allows a band to play in, which i found awkward. i also love how David Levithan (the writer of boy meets boy) exclaim why Paul is gay, well how Paul knows he is gay and why he feels that way in the 2 chapter so the reader will not be confused.

  I recently started read Boy Meets Boy and i don"t know just fell in love with the whole concept of having the perspective of gay boy and how amazing reading/knowing how this character and others deal with stuff like this. I don't  know if it just me or is it that i just like book that show perspective of different people with different problems an d stuff like.

Upfront Magazine: Watching You

The End of  Our Car Culture

     Is it the end of car culture? Well in the article in Upfront magazine you will find, why people today seem to have less interest in driving and owning cars than their parents and grandparents did at the same age? In this respond i will respond to the question above and more of what i think about the ending of our car culture.

    Julia Grueskin a two job  23 year old without a car on a busy day rides her bike three to five miles and takes seven to eight buses, commuting for as long as five hours. failing her driver test in high school, Grueskin decided she didn't need her driver's license anyway, she wasn't really interested in having a car away Grueskin exclaimed in the article. "i just think it isn't as much of a priority for young people anymore."

   Grueskin isn't the only one. Studies show that fewer Americans are buying cars, driving less, and and are get fewer and fewer driver license than in the past. which is especially true for young people. Researchers are now discovering american's love affair with cars are coming to an end.

   did you know that ages 18 to 24 year old say that they'd choose internet access over owning a car? well " mobile devices, gadgets, and internet are becoming must-have lifestyle products that convey status," says Thilo Koslowski, a Gartner's lead automobile analyst. "The Iphone is the Ford Mustang of today."

    So i think the real question is if young people would choose technology over having a car? what do you think?
