There have been several books, or series o9f books that have been enjoyable to read. Some range from adventure to mystery. The Warriors series, however, is a very unique type of series. Warriors is simply about cats who live deep in the wild, and depend upon each other to survive. Like all living things, they do believe in a collection of dead cats, known as Star clan. Each cat is put into a specific clan to live in. There are four major clans known as: Thunder clan, Wind clan, Shadow clan, and River clan. Thunder clan is known to be the main clan in this series. Wind clan is known for their stealth ability, and they live in the moor area. Shadow clan has a very dark aura around them, and they are known to be ruthless, while they live inside of the marshes. River clan camps out by the river, and depend upon fish for their source of nutrition. A cat will go through three major stages while they live in the clan. The first one is an apprentice, then a warrior, and finally an elder, if they make it that far. Each cat is given a name when they are born, and paw is added at the end for an apprentice, while your warrior name depends on your leader.
   The plot of this story, is basically about a "kitty pet" named Rusty, and he yearns to go out and feel the urge of being a wild cat. He joins Thunder clan, and soon becomes a great leader. Many side stories correspond to the main series. He finds a mate, Sandstorm, and together they give birth to two young females; Leafkit, and Squirrelkit. They grow up, and earn their warrior names; Leafpool, and Squirrelflight. Leafpool quickly falls in love with a cat from a different clan, although that is against the warrior code. She ends up running away from the rest of the clans with her love, Crowfeather. Eventually, they return because of a furious badger fight.

More than a month has gone by so far, and I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only one who misses the sun. The heat may not ve as missed, but the winter time seems too depressing. I wish that the sun would come out more often, instead of dealing with rain, and fog, and not to mention the degree drop. In Fresno, the temperature drops thirty to forty degrees, from the summer time, to the winter time. Without the sun, there is not light, and since we have changed our clock times, it seems as if the sun goes down much quicker in the winter time. Winter would be enjoyable to me if it snowed here, but instead, we receive lots of rain. The rain is good for the crops, and the air, but may become a nuisance to some others. Everything becomes wet, and winds may pick up. 

            In different parts of the world, we all have a different teaching system. Attitudes, and confidence levels also vary depending on which part of the world you live in. Children in our society today often have struggles or hard tasks that may seem impossible to them at their current ages. For example, if you give a first grader a question regarding the Pythagorean theorem, they would most likely give up on the first try. That is a deep symbol of struggling. In other parts of the world, children might act differently, by trying out the problem first, and not giving up. They will most likely see struggling as an opportunity, while children over here see it as an impossible obstacle, and the possibility that they might not be intelligent enough. This new topic can pertain to our own society, simply because some children here have the tendency to give up on the first try.
           Parents can become a big impact on this topic also. The things that are projected from them are taken in by the children. Parents from different ares each have different things to say to their own children. Some things might be encouraging, and some, not as much. Cutting off the conversation with your child will not progress in an encouraging conversation. In all essence, struggling might lead some negativity, but you must accept that fact and have the will to get better.

       In the U.S.A, Winter vacation is known to be the second largest vacation. In other parts of the world, such as Asia, Winter vacation is the longest vacation. The reason is, Winter Vacation is the passing between grades, as in the U.S.A, summer vacation is the passing of the grades. Winter Vacation is meant to be a fun joyous type of vacation. Many people might decide to visit family, or travel for their vacation time. Staying home with your own family also seems to be a very popular choice to some. Christmas does have a significance in the Winter vacation. Celebrating it has been a favorite to people for many years now. The most money is most likely spent on this occasion. Parents like to go out and buy their children presents fo
