Coming of age, and who The Secret Life of Bees and The Alchemist conforms to the theme. We're also able to add our own anecdotes and examples from other books we've read though.
Death Note is a really good series, isn't it?

My favorite Essay I've done is a cause and effect one. It could be about any cause and effect and I chose the fall of the roman empire. It was almost 12 pages but my English teacher required 3. History buff level 600.
Yeah! It really *subconciously post a pic o yourself* is good!

Ah. That reminds me of the time we had to write an essay about going back in time and meeting Shakespeare. We also had to state how we traveled back in time. Everyone else took a couple of sentences to write stuff like "I slept and somehow awoke in the past"or "I fell through a random portal" and whatnot. I spent over half of my essay explaining how I went back in time, using real scientific theories and going into detail about those theories.
You're still doing that?
It just might work though. I was thinking of posting one sometime soon.

Did you exploit the power of black holes? I've heard they can stop time. Though I don't know how that would help you go back in time...
I only will mention that when the conversation is about Death Note. And yes! I am winning!

YES! I used black holes for going back in time because black holes might warp the fabric of space-time to the point that it curves back on itself, thus creating a way to travel back in time.
I used time dilation to get back to the present.
I actually showed a friend this essay I wrote. He... he lectured me on it saying that these things are impossible. He told me that I would need an IMMENSE amount of energy in order to bend space-time. We had a really heated discussion about it. He seemed to forget that these are only theories, and that other students had much much more ridiculous theories than I. 
Ah, I see. Well, I won't be posting one NOW. Sometime in the future, maybe.
What's episode 22 about again?

What!?! No! I was so close to getting you to post a pic. And eveyone knows when a woman says "maybe" it means "no"!
I believe it's about them finding the identity of the third Kira that works for that corporation.

Okay, I will spare you from all these riddles. I will post a picture sometime in the future, just not sure when. 
I like the first season better than the second. I still recommend watching the WHOLE series, but I just like the first season better.

Ok I'll wait...*puts Death Note away*
I like the first season more as well.
I'm starting to like Gregorian Chant now. Not because of its really religious means but because of how peaceful and mysterious it sounds.

Are you actually planning to kill me with that book? 
Keep in mind that I actually know your real name and your face. 
*laughs manically*
Wait. Does that mean you know what happens in the second season? 
Ah, I see. Music?

No! As blackmail to make you my servant.
No I like the first season over what I have seen of the second season so far. Wait both seasons combined equal 37 episodes right?
And yes Gregorian Chant is some of the most beautiful and peaceful music you can find!

Well I can blackmail YOU to be my servant too!
Ohh. And yes, the two seasons combined has 37 episodes.
For me, I've been listening to more classical music for some reason. Odd. I never had that much interest in it before.

Pffffft! No you won't! Sempi you're too nice to blackmail me!
Classical is nice as well. I like to listen to these types of music instead of most garbage that comes out these days.

OH YEAH, THE-- yeah, I can't blackmail.
And nice? Am I really?
Ooh. Is there any piece you'd recommend?
I'm not very picky with genres. I'm just picky with the songs themselves, if that makes any sense.
I'm currently listening to Four Seasons by Vivaldi. I really like the first movement.
