Magazine review.
Teen Vogue

Features Director: Eigh Belz.
Accessories Director:Taylor Tomasi
Teen Vogue is a fashion magazine for young teens. It also had other types of stories in it. It has a lot of fashion/make-up advertisments as well.
This magazine is good for young girls because it has a lot of good healthy food, make-up, boy related, clothing advice. They tell you whats good to wear, things that won't look sluty but still sexy in a sophistocated way. It shows you what kind of good make-up to use for girls, so you don't use cakey, thick, make-up that isn't good for your skin. It pretty much has a lot of good tips for girls and boys as well.
The magazine features actors, actresses, musicians that have some pretty good, true, honest, no fake-it gig talent so when young people read it they can be influenced by good people and not fake singers and actors with bad influences.
Teen vogue doesn't just have girly tips and advertisments in it, it also has holiday gift ideas, interesting stories to tell about things that have happened to people, they have prices you can win and contests you can enter. They tell you about interesting new up comming artists, and shows musicians/bands/solo artists are playing where and when.
Over all I think this magazine is cute, fun, and interesting to read. You learn some good tips about a little bit of everything. The cost is around $3-4.


Book review.

Author: J. Minter

The inside girl series.

The Inside Girl series is about a girl named Flan Flood and her time at her new school. She is about to attend her first year of highschool and she wants to try and start over, start new and meet new people, make new friends. She wants to live a normal teenage life because her brother and sister are popular known celebrities and the public eye, fancy get everything you want, fake friends life isn't impressing her anymore.


During her first year at her new normal public school, she meets two girls named Judith and Meridith. They all become best friends and get to know each other. They all have their ups and downs, but they always manage to get through it in the end. The series is basically about Flan's life after she moves to her new school, with her new friends, and boys of course, and some family problems too.
The book is an interesting, fun, girly, dramatic filled book. Once you start reading it, your egar to know what will happen next. I would recomend it to everyone, even if their taste in books isn't around girly books, I would still recomend this book just to try something new.



Movie review.
Directed by: Brian Gilbert
Released on: January 11th 1991.

On January 11th, people from all over the USA went to theatres to watch "Not without my daughter" and little did they know that this movie would change them forever.

Sally Feild plays wife Betty Mahmoody and husband Moody is played by Alfred Molina. Together they inspired many people to think differantly about where they travel, who they marry, and how to better choose your husband/wives.

Not without my daughter is about an American woman who is married to an Iranian man. They have been married for 7 years and have a little girl together named Mahtob. Moody ( The husband) decideds he wants to go back home to Iran to visit his family he has not seen for a long period of time and wants to bring his wife and little girl there as well to visit his family. Betty (Moody's wife) says she will go. Moody tells her they will only be there for two weeks and then they would head back home to America. But little did Betty know that Moody was planning to stay in Iran forever and that they would not be returning to America. Betty has no idea about her husbands controling plan, and is devistated when Moody tells her in their bedroom one late night.

Moody starts to change. He begins to beat his wife, and yell at his daughter. He becomes very violent physically, and emotionally hurtfull. Betty and her daughter have never seen this side of him before. As each day goes by, they get more scared and causious. Betty thinks that his family has a huge influence on him, not only with his new actions tawards Betty but the idea of actually living in Iran.

After the shock of realizing Moody had lied to her and that she might not return to America, Betty starts talking to other people over the period of two years. She trys very hard to plan a trip for her daughter and her to go back to America without her husband finding out.

Two years later, on a regular day in the evening, Betty lets Moody's family know that she is going out with Matob ( her daughter) to the market to get some gifts for her father because he is sick and Moody said Betty could go visit him in America but without their daughter. So Betty pretends she is going out to the market to get her father some gifts from Iran. As their in the market Betty and her daughter begin their journey back to America with the help of many kind and couragous people.

After a number of days Betty and Matob finally return to their beloved country, America. As Betty and her daughter walk on the grounds of the USA, Betty says to her daughter " Were home, were home" And the movie ends with an amazing feeling in the audiences hearts. The feeling of being thankful for being able to live in such a free, non-judgemental society. A land where no fear is brough upon people.

I would deffinatly recomend this movie to everybody! It will change the way you look at traveling again, and who you marry, etc etc. This movie is very inspirational in many ways. It leaves you feeling so very thankful to be in the home and country you are in right now. All around 10/10.

  1. Katherine, your movie review was more like a summary of what the movie was about. You gave away basically the plot. I would advise that you give a short summary of what the movie is about, without giving too much away. I wanted to know more about the cinematography, the acting, etc.
