The Fault in Our Stars (Con.)

This just came out! I am so excited to go see this movie! Based on when I read this book I think that it's going to be the same but with some more elements. The characters look the same that the discriptons says in the book. I can't wait! Click on the video to watch the offical trailer and you will be hooked. If you havent read it yet please go read it!

This picture is a picture of Esther Earl. She was who John Green dedicated his book too. Esther was a 15 year old girl with  thyroid cancer who died in 2010. Hazel played the role of Esther in The Fault in our Stars, John Green made Hazel look just like her and have the same kind of cancer. When John Green found out about her, he just had to meet her. Esther blogged about her cancer and the life that she was living with the diffictulties and the easiest times. When John Green fisished his book it was Janurary 10th 2012. But poor Esther had already gone. If John Green could have had one girl to read it, it would have been her. Then I found out that she had a booked and flipped out.
                                                I really want to read it. Its called This Star Won't Go Out: The Life and                                                 Words of Esther Grace Earl. Im going to hopefully read it soon and ill                                                  let you know how I like it.

All about Elizabeth Smart

I continued reading my book and I can't stop reading it. She keeps you waiting on your toes wanting to find out more about her kidnapping. Elizabeth Smart was kidnapped at the age of 14 when Brian (her kidnapper) in her bed in the middle of the night when she was right by her sister. Brian said as she got out of bed, "If you make a sound, I will not only kill you but your family." Elizabeth didn't know what to do so she didn't make a sound. If I was in her shoes I would have no idea what to do, I would probably scream and try to hurt him. I don't know how she could do it for 9 months! My mom always told me not to talk to starangers and that if anyone that I didn't want to touch me did. THen scream.

In this part Elizabeth said one of my favorite quotes she has said, "We can choose to be taken by the evil. Or we can try to embrace the good." She always kept saying that in her head as she goes through this very harsh journey that would be hard for any 14 year old to do. As she goes on this journey she gets abused and raped by this man that her family gave her work! It's so hard for her to realize that this is happening and all she can do is pray. If I was her I couldn't do it i would have to try and escape or scream.

Elizabeth Smart

I am currently reading My Story by: Elizabeth Smart. This book is also based on a true story. I am just in the beginning of this book and so far it's really good. I choose this book because I watched a documentary on her and once I saw she had a book I just had to have it. All though I am not that far into I can already tell that she is going to be a well devolved character by going through hard challenges. Evn though she gets kidnapped I think that when she gets found she is going to have such a better life. Her family is still going to love her even if she thinks they wont.

Elizabeth Smart is a little girl who was kidnapped.She was kidnapped by a man named Brian David Mitchell who her family gave work to do. As he was working he studied the family and way to get it and what time based on thee schedule. As Elizabth stayed with him she got abused and raped by him. I don't know how she could do it. I mean the man got into the house through a window for crying out loud! That is shady. Then he trying to tell her that god put him up to this, I just dont understand. I don't want to give too muchy away so make sure this is youtr next book to read.

Romeo and Juliet

Today in English we just finished Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. That was a very hard play to understand but once you participated you could really get into it and understand it more. In the begging I had no idea what we were talking about until I really got into it and participated. I don't know if I could ever read anything by him again because the way he writes is so hard to understand. I don't understnad how you could write like this. If i read anymore by him then I would have to research the book or play before hand so I actually know what is going to be happening. I know that in my future I am going to have to read more books by him and that will be hard. As long as i ask questions and understand, I should be good.

Next we are going to have to write a paper on Romeo and Juliet based on if it's a comedy or a tragedy. In my opinion I don't understand how it would be a comedy I didn't find it funny in my opinion. In my paper I am going to argue that it is a tragedy because it's so sad how Romeo took his own life for Juliet when she wasn't even dead. I hope you can find some time to read it or watch the movie. Even though there are so many choices of the play to watch my favorite was the newer ones, not the oldeer ones. When youe watching somthing thats old but made in the future then you can understand it way more. Good luck!

The Newspaper

Hello Blogger's! This morning I picked up a nice hot chocolate and Sunday paper with my dad. When I got home I had nothing better to do but read the newspaper. I saw an article about my school in there, about how our soccer team won state. My brother plays on the soccer team and I was at the game. Reading the players perspective about the game was really strange. I always wonder what other players think about the game especially after they on state.

I really liked how this article was written using big words and asking the players what they thought. You can defiantly tell the difference from the our schools sports writer to a real life writer. I liked how they put the boys not so good moments to the best moments of the game. They also pieced this together so well I don't know how they did it. I hate writing so writing an article about something intense like this I don't know how I would do it.

Blog Relection

When I think back on my time blogging this trimester I think of one word, time consuming.  This was very time consuming on my part because I never got done in class and I never liked what I was writing. That caused me to delete past post and write a new one.  Also in the beginning I was so behind trying to create a blog and not knowing what I was doing. We got almost once a week to write a blog post and you have to make sure you have an idea of what to write about and that you have read. Sometimes that was my struggle not being prepared.  Towards the end of the trimester I got a hang of it. Now for the future I will be prepared.  One strength that I had throughout the trimester was getting into my blog post not just writing a short little post to get credit but really explain so that it make sense.

My best blog post I think so far is about The Cupcake Queen. In this post I have used a quote to explain my reasoning and description. Also I said that I haven't got into the book yet and I wrote about what I knew so far. Also I wrote about the character and when I get further into my book I will write about how she has changed or how she hasn't changed. Also I followed all the requirements on the rubric but I didn't go above and beyond.

For the next trimester my goal is to read 3 books and write very well developed blog post. I want to wow everyone from the first trimester to the second. I also want to be prepared and read extra. I don't like reading that much but I really want to start getting into it.

The Cupcake Queen

Hello blogger's! I just started a new book The Cupcake Queen by: Heather Helper. I was reading Uglies but I got bored of that book and didn't really like it. I asked one of my good friends and she gave me the idea to read this book. She told this book was really well written and thought I might enjoy it. So far I am really enjoying it, I can relate very easily and makes so much sense. 

 Penny's mom and her left Manhattan to open  a cupcake bakery in Hog's Hollow. The name of there bakery is The Cupcake Queen, it's not an average bakery its only cupcakes and all pink. Penny is a young teenager. Penny is not an average girly teenager, she hates the color pink and cupcakes. Penny has no one to talk to because she left her best friend; the only one who understands her."They're pink, I mean pink. Pink cupcake papers, pink cupcakes, pink frosting, pink sprinkles, and now pink rosebuds. It's like someone drank a whole bottle of Pepto-Bismol and then threw up in six dozen cupcakes."(Page 1) This quote shows that everything on this one cupcake is pink. Basically everything is pink.

This is all I have read so far in this book. I am hoping on finishing it soon so I can start a new one. Once I read some more I will make a post about it and what I think.
