What does the new WTC mean?
The new World Trade Center building is going to be 1,776 feet tall. The designers of the new WTC purposely chose that number for the height. The number 1776 is the year America has won its independence. The designers may have chosen this height to show we are independent and want to keep our freedom.

Doug's Reading Bucket List
Shadow's Edge- By Brent Weeks: I have an interest in books with war, mages, and detailed writing. My Grandpa sent me this book and wanted me to read it. I have not read any books by Brent Weeks before. I have recently finished Shadow's Edge, and I was very pleased with it.
Beyond The Shadow's- By Brent Weeks: This is the third book of the Night Angel's series. I have not read the first book, but I have read Shadow's Edge. I was very pleased with how well it is written, and I look forward to reading this book. Brent Weeks did a good job on developing the characters and makes you feel like you are in the story.
Ghost Recon- By David Michaels: This is the First book of the series. Ghost Recon contains the content I believe makes a good book, action packed war. I personally get sucked into books with war. I would like to sit down and read it sometime. It would interesting to see a movie made about the book, and there has been video games made that where good, and it makes me want to read the book and see how accurate the games are to the book.
The Associate- By John Grisham: I am about to start reading this book. My dad and many teachers have said that John Grisham is a very good author, and I hope that I too, will be impressed by his work. I do not know if there is a movie, but if this book is good, then I will definitely look forward to seeing a movie based on the book.
Hunger Games- By Suzanne Collins: I have watched the movie, and I loved it. I have been told by many people that the book is really good. I would like to read the book and compare it to the movie to see which one is better. I wouldn't normally read a book like this, however, after seeing the movie and hearing about the other books, it seems like a very interesting story line.
The Chase- By Clive Cussler: My Grandpa has sent me this book. I do not know anything about it, and have not heard of the author. I plan to read it one day, and see if it is a good book. If it is a good book, then I will look forward to reading more of Clive Cussler.
The Ghost War- By Alex Berenson: This book sounds like a very interesting book. I do enjoy stories of war. They seem to have the most action and are very easy to get into. I have not heard of the author, but my Grandpa wants me to read this book.
The Hobbit- By J.R.R Tolkien: I have not read any of the other Lord Of The Rings books, however, I have seen all of the Lord Of The Rings movies, and they are very good. I have heard that the books are very well written and easy to get into. I look forward to reading The Hobbit.
Splinter Cell Conviction- By David Michaels: My Grandpa has sent me this book and wanted me to read it. Like many other books about war, I will probably get into this book. I have played a video game that belonged to the Splinter Cell series, and I did not like very much. I hope the book is much better.
Splinter Cell Endgame- By David Michaels: I do not know anything about this book. Its another book that my Grandpa has sent me. I do plan to read it soon. I hope that I can get into this book, and that it is written well, as I have been disappointed by a video game based on a different Splinter Cell story.
Beyond The Shadow's- By Brent Weeks: This is the third book of the Night Angel's series. I have not read the first book, but I have read Shadow's Edge.
