Kevin Cole October 23, 2011 Period 5 AP Psychology Book Review Running With Scissors: A Memoir Hello, as you probably know each quarter I am required to read a book for the course AP Psychology.

student out of toilet paper rolls and she had glued pieces of construction paper inside the toilet paper roll. The students were then asked to use scissors to cut the construction paper hair off their trolls.

This paper person walked into the school and was immediately ostracized by the majority of the scissor students, they all glared at him as he walked down the hall.

I had wanted a haircut for a long time and now I was going to get what I wanted regardless of the consequences.

bawling for what seemed like a day. My mom always told me I always screw something up and here I am, killing a dog. I kept staring at her as her tongue was sticking out “Sammy, I’m going to save you.” I rushed down back to my house and grabbed my scissors. Sammy, No more dumb mistakes. I cut off her head and little blood spilled out. 3, 2, 1, go. I started to cut off mine as well, when I realized I was dying. The last thing I saw was Sammy, my new dog, decapitated. “HA HA HA HA HA HA!” That was the
