CC#1When Chickens Come Home To Roost

In a recent article by WN.com Correspondent Dallas Darling in the Worldnews entitled "When Chickens 'Literally' Come Home to Roost,"  Dallas informs her readers about Osama bin Laden and his meaning of "his chickens will come home to roost".

Osama bin Laden, the former leader of al Qaeda, wrote in 2004, "Our actions are but a reaction to yours-your destruction and murder of our people" and later, "...stop spilling our blood in order to save your own...for every action there is a reaction. Bin Laden in all probability never thought someday he would be traveling around Pakistan, a desert, sovereign country in South Asia, in a large box, hidden in a colorful truck filled with chickens.

As said in the article, "chickens" like curses will come home to roost. This means an individual will have to pay for his/her past and present morals, and that in life there are distinct consequences in relation to the treatment of others. $Unusually I have always heard the saying, "when chickens come home to roost" but never would have determined this meant a bad thing and had nothing to do with chickens.

As I read this article, the first thing that came to mind was my chickens. I have became fond of them, a friend of chickens. Knowing now about "chickens coming home to roost", I will remember as curses based on your bad deeds in life, not as my chickens laying eggs.

Lastly, Osama bin Laden was the wicked genius behind the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks in the United states. He will be remembered as the destruction of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, how his attacks were just the "chickens" that came to roost in the U.S.A.

Megan's Bucket List

1. Vampire Kisses series-by Ellen Schreiber: In 8th grade  my english teacher, a reader of Vampires, introduced me to these books when she found my fasination for vampires and mystical things. As I read the first book I knew I had to read them all. Very sadly though, I could not read on past the 3rd book for someone had checked out the 4th, so I hope to finish the rest of this series.
2. Vampire Diaries sieries-by L.J. Smith: When I could not finish the Vampire Kisses series my teacher introduced me to another sieries, The Vampire Diaries. I fell in love with these books from the start as I had with the Vampire Kiss books. Then of course I could not finish them as well for someone had checked out the 3rd book, so I hope to finish this series as well.
3. Night World-by L.J. Smith: Though I had not finished the Vampire Diaries series, my english teacher then introduced me to another vampire series, Night World. These series are by the same author as Vampire Diaries, and I fell deeply in love with this seris. Unfortunately I could not finsh this series either, and I only go to read the first book.
4. Pendragon series- by D.J. Machale: I absolutly love fiction book of vampires, werewolfs and mystical creatures. I only got to read the first book of this series and it was awesome. It was like a book of many difference, weird dreams coming together. I enjoyed this book very much and would like to read the whole series.
5. Stephen King's books: Stephen King is incredible at writing sick twisted stories that get you chilled from the start. I have only read partial novels, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption and The Body, by Stephen King. I have seen many of his moves, so to say movies based on his books. He is a terrific writer and I hope to read all of his books some say, starting with the ones I've already seen on screen.
6. Shiver and Linger(short series)-by Maggie Stiefvater: I can remember in the 8th grade when I was a vampire freak, our teacher told us of the books Shiver and Linger, a short series that we had to read. As I was definate lover of vampires, I also had a thing for werewolfs as well. Ever since my teacher told my class about these books, I've wanted to read them.
7. City of bones series-by Cassandra Clare: Since the 9th grade I have always seen these books on the libribary shelf and always wondered what they were about. Then as I got to 11th grade my English teacher, Mrs. Gillmore, suggested we should read the City of Bones series. As soon as she said it was about vampires I knew right off I wanted to read them.
8. The Hunger Games series-by Suzanne Collins: Never in a million years did I think i would ever want to read the Hunger Games, until I saw it on screen. I didn't really even know what it was about, I figured it was about people stranded on and island and ahd to survive or some thing. I never would have guessed what is REALLY was about. After I saw the movie, a very adventurous and aweosme film!, I knew I HAD to read the book.
9. Fang-by James Patterson: This is another book my 11th grade english teacher suggested to read. Of course I knew had to read it being about vampires and all. I'm also really glad it's just a single book and not a series so I don't have to worry about reading the next book. 
10. 13 Reasons Why-by Jay Asher: This book was also suggested by Mrs. Gillmore and was said to be a really really great book and that we had to read it at some time before we die. I'm interested to know why a young girl, a girl my age, so beautiful and popular would kill herself.
