  9. Hey Mr.Ferencz,
    My name is Junjie Xu. I rarely listen to english music, but my favorite American band would be Linkin Park. I also listen to Jay Chou and Lin Jun Jie, who are both Chinese singers. Lin Jun Jie's music is great, but I'm especially fond of his name. I don't watch TV much because my parents only ordered the Chinese news package for DirecTV. However, I recently watched an episode of Man vs. Wild on Youtube and I thought it was great. The Big Bang Theory is another great TV program that I watched on Youtube. The last book that I read would be Steve Jobs by Walther Isaacson. My mom gave me the book because she said it was interesting. However, I later realized that she just wanted me to successful by showing me how a adolescent who once worked at a garage would become a the CEO of one of the world's largest companies.

  30. Hi Mr. Ferencz,

    My name is Amy Ji. I've always loved music, from jazz to pop to country. But if I had to pick just three artists, they would be Kelly Clarkson, Christina Aguilera, and Sara Bareilles since I listen to their music all the time. I always make sure to get my weekly doses of The Office and The Big Bang Theory. I assure you there is nothing better than collasping on the sofa and immersing oneself in comical laughter after a tough week of being a Stuyvesant student. Yet no matter how much I adore watching TV, I will never pass up a good book. So the last book I read was "Talk Funny Girl" by Roland Merullo.

I started watching the latter one only recently, but it's so addicting, can barely stop watching long enough to finish this hw. If you don't count the Chemistry department summer assignment, then the last book I read would be Animal Farm, otherwise, it'd be the Disappearing Spoon.

  80. Hey Mr. Ferencz!

    I'm Andrew Guo, from 9th period. My family tends to listen to classical a lot, and usually I go with it. Playing piano for a ridiculous amount of time, like most of Stuy, has fostered in me a bias towards non-lyrical music. I do enjoy a few covers by Kurt Hugo Schneider, a channel on youtube that creates ridiculously high quality music. I enjoy watching gameshows and informative channels, and my favorite TV shows include Wipeout and Mythbusters. The last book I read was The Disappearing Spoon (which every sophomore had to read), but that last book I enjoyed reading was Blink by Malcolm Gladwell. See you in class tomorrow.

  100. Good morning Mr. Ferencz!
    My name is Shuxing Lin and I spent quite some time (a good 20 minutes) trying to decide how to start this response. As tempting as "Hi Mr. Ferencz" was, I thought I would be a risk taker and wish you a good morning instead. I hope this does not count as my homework being late. That would not be cool. I enjoy listening to The Script, Maroon 5, and the Counting Crows. I love Glee and Suits. I have been working on The Complete Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe but as you may know, it is not a small book. I have been reading some of his popular short stories over and over again.

    I'm Radhika Kaicker from period 5. I enjoy all types of music from The Script and old British bands like Eurythmics to soft stuff like Celine Dion, and being Indian, I highly enjoy Indian music as well, but not the stereotypical classical sitar music that mostly everyone thinks of when they think of Indian music. My favorite TV shows would be Gossip Girl and Avatar the Last Airbender, but I've recently gotten into Dr. Who, which is pretty amazing. The last book I read was Heidi, because I read that every year before school starts for some reason and it would be my favorite classic. I must add though, I am the biggest Harry Potter (Book not movie) fan you'll ever meet.
