Outside reading

For this blog i read a chapter of eclipse. Jasper was talking about how he met maria and how he changed into a vampire. He met peter, a newborn vampire, who told him to leave and go on a free live and how nice it was to be with someone you love away from all the fighting. Jasper was hesitant at first but then he willingly agreed and they went off. Jasper stayed with peter and his love for a year or two. But after that just got sick of it so decided to go on his own. He lived on his own for a while and soon after meet Alice. Alice told him about the cullens and how they except new vampires into their family. So off alice and jasper went to go off and get their new family. In the end of that description Jasper added how they should go and fight the new comers because if they dont then the volturi is going to come and find out that bella is not a vampire yet...
they decided they have to go fight....
It was a well written chapter and i am really liking the book so far!

Eclipse

For this blog i read another part of a chapter of eclipse. Bella finds out that graduation is only a week away and she gets very nervous because its coming so soon and she still hasnt told charlie and renee about becoming a vampire. Edward is still willing to change her but only if she marrys him....bella does not want to do that because that does not look good to others if your marry right after you get out of highschool! Then bella goes to see jasper and he tells bella about how he became a vampire, how a women by the name of maria bit him to fight with other new vampires. He became the best fighter there was so made maria like him more. Thats where i left off.
I really like this book so far and im expecting it to get really good!!!
a question for all readers:
Do you think bella should become a vampire and join edward or stay human?

Outside reading!

For this outside reading i read a magazine article on anorexia. It talked about how it was the second largest killer in the united states. Its killing kids, teens, adults all over the country. It is bad enough that people over the world are starving to death but when you have food you just dont eat it, it just makes it so much worse. The article talked about how anorexia is caused from not having self confidence. If you dont believe you have a good body image it can cause you to try to get thinner, but really all it does is makes you look fragile, get weak and no nutritional value at all. When your not eating your bones are not getting the proper nutrients they need so over all that is making you weak, and your dying.
In similarity to this article in my life i know a lady who is suffering from anorexia. She is very thin and is getting treatment. Even tho she is getting treatment she is still not completely cured. This shows how it can cause i life full of pain just by trying to make your self feel better.

Eventually well talking bella tells jacob that shes planning on getting changed in a few weeks. This makes jacob very angry. He loves bella and changing her will make everyone differernt. They wont be able to be friends anymore. This is a big chapter because jacob says they cant be friends if he changes. I liked it cuz it kept me on my feet at all moments.

Outside reading

Currently i am reading the book Eclipse my stephanie meyer. So far the book is amazing! it keeps me glued at every moment!!!
In the chapter that i read for this blog it was about bella getting back from jacobs but edward was not very happy about that. Before she confronted edward she went to angelas to help her mark her leaders for her graduation. well they were marking bella really opened up to angela about edward. This shows that bella wants a girl to talk to that is actually the same species as her. When she went home she was not surprised to see edward in her room. He was dissapointed in her for going over there. They went on for a couple pages of how he only wants her to be safe and she said she was she just has to go over there becasue jacob is like family and needs someone to talk to. When Edward leaves again because he is thirsty. When he leaves alice takes bella kidnapped to keep her from visiting edward. She is planned to stay with the cullen girls tell saturday when edward gets back. I think this chapter is very exciting and it really shows how much edward just wants bella to be safe. Its all about her safety. I am very excited to read the next chapter!!

I got tickets to twilight the movie!!!!!

outside reading 2!

For this blog post i read the remaining part of the chapter i read of eclipse.
It talked about how Jacob will always be friends with her no matter what. He couldnt give up friends that easy. It also showed the emotions of Bella and how she so badly wanted to see jacob more often and if he was hurting then she would have to. She would have to find some way to sneak away to help her friend in need. The ending was very good! It kept me very into the book and i look forward to reading the next chapter!!

Best Friend Heroes

In my opinion Best Friends are the best heroes you can find. They will always be there for you, they help you through tough times, and even if you go your seperate ways you know they'll always be looking out for you. I have some examples below of how i think that a best friend is a hero! The first one is a clip from the show F.r.i.e.n.d.s, the second is lyrics to the song Heroes and Friends, a friendship quote, and a poem.



I Believe this video relates to the topic Best friend heroes because in the last part of this episode its the end of the whole show and the 6 friends are saying good bye to eachother. It shows they will still be friends but they just wont all live right by eachother. I choose this scene because Best Friends are always supposed to be there for you and this video is a perfect example. In the end scene when there all together it shows they will always be there for eachother through thick and thin.

Heroes and Friends
By: Randy Travis and Don Schlitz
I ain't live forever but I've lived enough
And I've learned to be gentle and I've learned to be tough
I've found only two things that last to the end
One is your heroes the other your friends

I grew up with cowboys I watched on TV
My friends and I sometimes pretended to be
Years have gone by but now and again
My heart rides the range with my heroes and friends

Chorus:
Your heroes will help you find good in yourself
Your friends won't forsake you for somebody else.
They'll both stand beside you thru thick and thru thin
And that's how it goes with heroes and friends

I ain't live forever but I've lived enough
I grew up with cowboys I watched on T.V.
and I've learned to be gentle and I've learned to be tough
my friends and I sometimes pretended to be
I've found only two things that last to the end
Years have gone by but now and again
One is your heroes the other your friends
my heart rides the range with my heroes and friends

Your heroes will help you find good in yourself
your friends won't forsake you for somebody else.
They'll both stand beside you thru thick and thru thin
and that's how it goes with heroes and friends

I think these lyrics represent friend ship by saying theyll both stand beside you thru thick and thin. Even the title represents it Heroes and friends! I choose this because i read through it and i thought of how friends will be there for you throughout the whole thing.

Friendship....

This quopte represents best friends to me because it shows that even though best friends can be funny at times they can also be serious and love you. In the beginning it says that they would run and say run loser run! That shows that even though its sorta mean its a mean funnny i believe every friendship needs humor. In the second part of the quote it says that they would be on the bottom there to catch there friends when they fall that shows they will be there for them whnever they need someone. =]

Follow Me
by Michelle Newton
Take my hand and follow me
to that place I long to be.
Take my hand and trust my way,
in that place forever stay.
Follow me toward the sand;
we'll run and play, hand in hand.
Take my heart and hold it true;
forever I'll stay close to you.
Seize my words and listen well,
then forever I will tell.
Release your heart and feelings too,
just as I will do for you.
Trust your heart and follow me,
to that place we long to be.

This poem shows that friendship is when a friend is a hero in someones eyes and they follow there way. If they follow them then they can forever stay with there friend or in their eyes their hero.

All these examples i have choosen above are good examples of how friendship can be a hero to someone. Friends are always there for you, through the hard and easy times, follow them for your friendship to exceed, and how even though at times it can be humerous it is still serious and loving. Friendship is a key to life and also a hero to most people. I know for me my friends are my heros and they will always be there for me.

Outside reading 7!!

For my blog i read a chapter of Eclipse By Stephanie Meyer which is the third book of the Twilight Series. The chapter was very good it kept me focused on the book!! In this chapter Bella talked to charlie and charlie gave her more Freedoom. He said to her to go talk to Jacob because he said that he needed a friend. This made Bella think a lot about whats really happening? Does jacob want to see her? Or was charlie just joking, that jacob was done with her and couldnt be friends anymore? Well debating this her meant to be love edward knocks on the door and when he comes in they discuss colleges. Edward wants her to go to Darmouth but she says she cant get in. Well im not going to give away all of it...
but it was very good and it kept my emotions up!! =]

Outside reading 6!!

For this blog i finished the book New Moon!
It was a really good book!
It kept me on my feet at all moments. it had a lot of good details. The book was a romance mixed with an action so that really made it exciting!
I cant really say much of what the book was about because that would ruin it for twilight readers.

*BEWARE IF YOU ARE READING TWILIGHT RIGHT NOW DO NOT READ ON*

When edward left it was a sad time but then when bella hung out with jacob more you learned to love him. Just how bella and him talked and interacted just made you feel like you were in the book next to jacob. When alice comes back some may say it takes a turn for the worst but i myself thought it was good. People may say it was for the worst because she tells bella to go find edward and well reading the past 300 pages has made you fall in love with jacob and now going back to find him you no that jacob with be gone. So lovers of jacob more then edward would not like that. I myself like edward more then jacob so when she went to Volterra it made me happy to know that edward is coming back. All i can say is read the book! its amazing! =]

Magazine Article!

Since my last blog posting i read an article in Cosmo Girl that talked about girls that got pregnant and regretted it. Specifically it talked to this one girl and she said she believes that kissing is the most romantic thing a guy and a girl can do. She said she regretted every having sex and wasting it on someone. The article said that every 1 out of 5 teen pregnancy's having to do with a teenager getting drunk or it being a mistake. It was a very interesting article that gave a lot of good information.

Blogging!

The book I'm currently reading is New Moon by Stephanie Meyer.
Pages read-- (from when Ms. Jarrett assigned this) about 25
So far in the book its about Bella being sad that Edward left and so she tries to do something spontaneous, to remember Edward clearer, so she gets motorcycles and Jacob helps her learn how to ride them. When learning how to ride it is really hard for Bella to learn at first. She falls and speeds up and falls but she doesn't give up. She gets it after a little bit. This teaches others not to give up because you will accomplish if you try hard enough, just like Bella.

Codi vs. Hallie

Growing up Codi and Hallie were always considered as one. From when they were little they had to stick together because really they didn't have any other family. Their mother died shortly after Hallie was born and Homero (their father) was not a truly there to help them with problems. Codi, being the older one, always did things first.
She was the bigger one of them and acted as if a mother on Hallie. When they got older that all changed, Codi looked up to Hallie for guidance. Hallie went of to go to Nicaragua to help the crops and to stabilize citizens. Codi not knowing what to do went back to their hometown, grace, to teach biology and to help their father who is going senile. Even though Codi and Hallie are very similar in ways such as being tall and traveling, they are also very different. Hallie is confident, Knows where she belongs, and has high self esteem. Codi on the other hand is not confident, she has very low self esteem, and to top it all off she doesn't know where her true home is. Losing so many people in her family (her mother, sister, baby, almost father) has really confused her. She is looking for her home to come to her with open arms without giving it a real shot. "I was getting a dim comprehension of the difference between Hallie and me. It wasn’t a matter of courage or dreams, but something a whole lot simpler. A pilot would call it ground orientation. I’d spent a long time circling above the clouds, looking for life, while Hallie was living it." (pg 226) Even as Codi moves to grace she still turns to Hallie to help her with many situations. Hallie is already stressed enough with everyone turning to her to help out. "Codi, how long are you going to keep limping around on that crutch? Its the other way around, Its what you do that makes you who you are" (pg 224) Hallie with out thinking goes to place where there is danger and fear, because of this idea without second guessing herself she got kidnapped. Now Codi is left to take care of herself and not to depend on Hallie.

Book i recently read....

2.) I read Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. It’s about Bella a girl that came from Arizona to live in Forks with her father. Expecting this to be the worst time of her life it turned into the best and in some ways the worst…

Bella soon after starting school meet the Cullen family. She soon fell deeply in love with Edward Cullen. Now you would think this is great but Edward is not a normal “teenage” boy. He is a vampire. This could get Bella in a little bit of trouble later….

Stephanie proves this thesis by making drama and trouble happen throughout the book, for example Edward fighting the urge to not bite Bella. I really like the piece!!

This is usually not something I would read, but I got into it very fast! I would definitely recommend this book to others!

Musical!!

I am a very musical person. To me music is my life. My whole family is musical, so that's where i got it from. I have been playing violin for 5 years. Since my mom is a violinist she teaches me how to play. Not only do i play violin but i sing to! I have been singing for 4 years and currently take voice lessons at McPhail. I believe music can be a real challenge but as long as you try you'll get it! its not just a hobby, its a way of life.
