With his best friend Leonardo the Silent awarding the points, Rafe tries to break every rule in his school's oppressive Code of Conduct. Chewing gum in class is worth 5,000 points. Running in the hallway is 10,000. Pulling the fire alarm, 50,000! But when Rafe's game starts to catch up with him, he'll have to decide if winning is all that matters, or if he's finally ready to face the truths he's been avoiding.

But when a presentation at their school made the three boys aware of the opportunities available to them in the medical and dental professions, they made a pact among themselves that they would become doctors.

And when he does, he wins the chance for something he's never dreamed of: to throw a pass through a target at a Patriots game for one million dollars. Nate should be excited. But things have been tough lately. His dad lost his job and his family is losing their home. It's no secret that a million dollars would go a long way.

Prophet. Hustler. Dealer. Troublemaker. Revolutionary. As a fourteen-year-old he was Malcolm Little, the president of his class and a top student. At sixteen he was hustling tips at a Boston nightclub. In Harlem he was known as Detroit Red, a slick street operator. At nineteen he was back in Boston, leading a gang of burglars. At twenty he was in prison. It was in prison that Malcolm Little started the journey that would lead him to adopt the name Malcolm X, and there he developed his beliefs about what being black means in America. From streetwise teenager to the militant leader of hundreds of thousands in the Nation of Islam, Malcolm X was one of the most respected, and most feared, men in American history. Even today, years after his assassination, young people still listen to his speeches and read his autobiography. In this forthright and courageous account, Walter Dean Myers, two-time winner of the Newbery Honor and four-time winner of the Coretta Scott King Award, depicts a complex man whose life reflected the major issues of our times.

MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER This matter comes before the Court upon Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss Complaint (DKT. #1) by Defendants Dashner and Random House (Incorporating Authorities) (collectively, Motion to Dismiss), filed January 20, 2015. (Doc. 22). Plaintiffs filed a response on February 20, 2015, and Defendants replied on March 13, 2015. (Docs. 36 and 44). Having reviewed Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss, the accompanying briefs, and the Complaint (Doc. 1), the Court grants Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss. I.

    KRHS 9th Grade Summer Reading 2020 James Dashner’s The Maze Runner INTRODUCTION When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his name. He’s surrounded by strangers—boys whose memories are also gone. Outside the towering stone walls that surround them is a limitless, ever-changing maze. It’s the only way out—and no one’s ever made it through alive. Then a girl arrives. The first girl ever. And the message she delivers is terrifying: Remember. Survive. Run. ASSIGNMENT DETAILS You are responsible for obtaining a copy of this book on your own. It is widely available. Read the book and be prepared both to test on the story and to write a full length, five paragraph essay during the first week of school (using citations from the book but no outside sources or it would be a research paper). DON’T just watch the movie--the storylines are vastly different. Attached are some reading comprehension questions to keep you on track as you read. You don’t have to do them, but they will be a big help to you as you think about possible essay topics. Some possible essay topics for you to think about are also included here; it would be smart to choose a topic and take notes on that topic or theme throughout your reading--the way you have done in the past with your other teachers. See page 8 BEFORE you start reading if you want to save yourself time later on. Your new teachers are always available to help you should you become confused.

    The Maze Runner by James Dashner

    The Maze Runner by James Dashner A boy wakes up in a sealed crate not knowing anything about himself except for his first name: Thomas. When the crate is cracked open, he emerges to find himself in a village run solely by boys—yet, the village is enclosed by a giant maze. The maze has four giant gates that remain open during the day, but when night falls, so do the gates. And when the gates close, the Grievers emerge: bio-mechanical monsters that roam the Maze for prey. Thomas tries to assimilate into the village while trying to comprehend how he got to where he was. But one job called to him: becoming a Runner. One day, the group leader, Alby, and a fellow Runner, Minho, peculiarly are still out in the maze while the sun was setting. Thomas, in a brash act, slips past the closing gates and traps himself outside the sanctity of the village and into the treacherous maze at night. This would become the beginning of a heart-pounding thriller of survival and mystery as Thomas and Theresa, a girl who mysteriously appeared in the crate, and a cast of unique characters set out to unlock the secrets of the Maze. James Dashner, in his The Maze Runner , brilliantly intertwines comedy and horror with his abrasive but humorous characters and exhilarating action scenes. This book has so captured me in its maze that I, in a trance, did not stop reading until I finished it, which happened to be 3 A.M. in the morning.
