Spring has arrived why not read THE SUN FLOWER

I had a lot of time on my hands over this weekend because of the Lansing Airport. With my combined 15 hours of delays due to weather and mechanical problems, finishing this novel wasn’t very difficult (If you want the full story about how I hate North West Airlines and The Lansing Airlines just ask me its a long story). As I kept reading i found it harder and harder to put down and it was a quick read. The Sunflower is a novel about forgiveness. One day when a Jewish man was working outside of a hospital a nurse leads him into a room where a dying Nazi confesses his sins and asks for forgiveness. He had nothing to say when faced with the choice between empathy and righteousness. This difficult decision still lingers in the back of his mind. Still questioning if he did the right thing. Now here’s the kicker, what would you do? If I were in the room talking to this Nazi, there would be no way I could forgive him for what he had done. I am not the most religious person out there, some may say I’m a Hebrew school drop out but, this man doesn’t deserve to be forgiven. He was part of killing 6,000,000 people of my kind; this man deserves nothing. I would be so angry that I would not even be able to look at this man and I would most likely enjoy the fact that he was in pain and dying.
I usually leave a note at the end telling you to check out Marini's blog but it looks like the kid is falling behind. He has an ego problem someone should tell him he's not tough and needs to get his blog done.

Son, this is honors english 4. As a senior in high school you need to learn how to punctuate sentences. Your a complete waste of space. Hey keep your head up though and keep workin on that curve, your gonna be great one day.
