The Halloween Mystery "Where are we, Archie? It's very dark and cold; can we please leave now," Mer, Kali, and Miles asked. You are probably wondering what is happening right now; let's start from the beginning. My name is Archie, and welcome to Boring, Oregon. It is pretty dull most of the time, outside of Halloween, my favorite holiday. This is when my friends and I hang out the most. For the entire month of October, I have been counting down until Halloween. Still, during this month at school, we have been hearing loud booms, water dripping from the ceilings, screams in the hallway, and bringing the lockers, which was really scary for most people. Unlike me, I was the only one excited for Halloween excited. Today is the day before Halloween, which means having a Halloween party at Mer's house. She diets like the horror and gore of Halloween, but she still likes to party with everyone invited in the town. Each year we have a theme; this year, there are the 70s, 80s, and 90s eras. School just got out as we were leaving, this mist blew by us, and we all wondered what was going on. On the other hand. Was imaging maybe that this Halloween might not be so brought in boring after all. when we arrived at St Mary's house, Miles asked me a random question "Archie, do you think we might solve the mystery this year?" "No, I hope not, "Mer stop being so scared live a little enjoy life while we can; we are young, and we should be fearless" "Easy for you to say Kali, but you not like me scared and shy" "well I will be we can help get you out of your shell before the night is over ."Mer just rolled her eyes. The party was about to start, so we all got dressed; while we were getting dressed, Kali, Miles, and I talked about finishing the Halloween mystery on Mer. It has been a few hours since the party started, and Kali came to me and said, "we are about to do this" GUYS!!!! Mer called to come, I think there is a ghost, and it is telling me to go outside to the pumpkin patch, well I think we should do what it says, I said as I winked at the others, so we all went outside to the pumpkin patch through the maze we can barely see through the maze so then it said to go the graveyard. The ghost said there was another message that told us to go to the cave as we all watched as Mer was getting scared, we couldn't help but laugh, so we said Merit it was a prank, though she was mad at first she finally and sarcasm filed her eyes saw the humor and laughed. We all went back to the party and enjoyed the rest of the night.

My favorite book is The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. The reason why it is my favorite book is because of how the book is written. Chbsoky writes The Perks of Being a Wallflower in main charter Charlie's view only. I like that we can see what's happing in Charlie's head and what he thinks is happing in his life, and how he solves his problems. I like that this book also highlights mental health and how especially in highschooler sin a hard time in our pivotal years that everyone is in their head and everybody is hiding and has secrets. I like that everybody has a problem, but we always assume it is only ourselves that have the issues. One of my favorite aspects about this book is it is all written in letter format. I like the fact that Charlie I speaking to someone else and sending them a letter, but we don't get to see the other side of the conversation. Through out the book I grew closer to charlie in a way I could relate to how he was feeling more than any other charter I have read about in a book. Stephen Chbosky dida really good job being able to have the book be a onesided view and have a wholelistic view of the story at the same time.I feel that charilie also grows with you as aperosn and where you are at atime in your life I feel that anybody can realte to him in some way or another it really is meant for evreyone.
