Something Interesting About The Book I'm Reading

I've been reading an interesting book named "The Devouring" by Simon Holt. This story is about demons and bad spirits that find people to take their souls once a year during winter on Sorry Night. So far what I've read the main character of the story finds an old scary book at the old bookstore where she works at and reads it to her brother. The old book is a horror book about spirits that take people souls. I think that after she read the box to her brother,days later what she read from the book comes to real life.

On Self-reliance response

"On Self-reliance" by Emerson, if confusing to me because of the way the word are put and because of some words i don't understand. I do agree with some of the things he says but some are dumb.

Stick to our guns response

In my opinion we should all recognize what is happening and realize the consequences of people that aren’t in the military and are buying guns for hunting or for safety. Hunting animals and killing animal for fun isn't right in my opinion. It shouldn't be done. Some animals are becoming extinct because people hunt them. I understand some people have guns for safety but sometimes turn out to be used to harm others. I say only army people should have guns.
