He is adopted from a dog farm by his owner Denny, who is a car enthusiast and aspiring race car driver. Denny finds a girl named Eve, who quickly moves in and marries him. Not too long after this, she has Denny’s kid, a daughter named Zoë. This story follows the family’s whole life, but through the lens of Enzo, who is the novel’s narrator. He fills the gaps with what he has seen from TV, and compels the reader in a way that many humans could not. The stroy which is part racing novel, part drama, part romance, part court drama, and many many more keeps the audeince engaged in many different ways throughout. This compelling story takes many twists and turns that would be a shame to spoil here, but the drama is definitely worth it, especially with the small and very manag...

I absolutely love science fiction. To be honest, reading has never really been something that interested me much. What did always interest me alot, though, was watching science fiction/fantasy tv shows and movies. Being placed in these fantasy worlds has always been fascinating to me, which is why I have always loved worlds like Star Wars, Marvel, Steven Universe, and many other fanticiing stories.

I have been consuming Star Wars media literally my entire life. Whether it was reading books, watching The Clone Wars show (which I have done 3 times), watching the movies, having the toys, or even playing Star Wars games, I always retu...

  I picked this topic, because as this is a topic that I feel decently strongly about, I knew it would be very easy to argue either side. I feel much more strongly that weed should be legal, so thi smade the choice fairly easy for me. The only concern I had was that there might not be enough research on my side. This wasn’t much of a problem though. It actually wasn’t very hard to only research one side, as I felt very strongly about my side. I feel like if it was a topic that I was in the middle of, it would be hard to shut out the other side. Also, I feel like my side would have been the easier of the two sides to find information and statistics on. I made my infographic brief and easy to read over loding it with tons and tons of statictics/information. I feel like this style is more captivating and makes it hader for people to tune it out. I made it green, as that is obviously the color of weed. I used icons from piktochart, as it was very hard to add pictures from the internet....
