blog 5!!

For this blog i read from page 188-230. The most important events in this section is that Gid, molly, and liam keep working hard on there project and liam is chosen to be the dog. So get gets to kiss molly and it went very well and romantic. this made gid thinks if she likes him. Also gids dad comes and brings danielle, his ex girlfriend, she beats him up and gets very mad.
"...and then you could just leave, and never talk to me again, and that would be fine?" (danielle) this quote is significant because thus far in the story we have not met danielle, all we hear is that gid is thinking he should call her but he never does. He goes his whole time in midvale without calling his gf (well his ex now). She is mad about this, this shows she has great courage to stand up to him, and when molly comes into this, it doesnt put a good era on gid. This is going to change how the rest of the story turns out thus far just from this moment of how mad danielle is at gideon.

blog 4!!

i read from 150-188 for this blog post. At the beginning nicolas, cullen, and gid are stuck in the house because they smoke weed and they need to go find molly because they need to tell her to hid the weed scent or else the dog is going to smell it. Molly writes him a note to say thank you and pilar writes him a note too, cullen thinks they both like him.
If i was going to write a note to gid it would go like this:
Dear gid,
How does it feel that cullen thinks that both girls like you?
are you going to stick with pilar or try to win the bet with molly?
as a girl advice i would say go with the girl you really like because that will get you further and less out of trouble. Thats what you need at this moment. Well have fun with both, i will keep reading.
your fan,
sara

Blog 3!

For this reading i read from page 110-149. What happened in this chapter is they went to a party and took vicodin and almost slept with pilar. He found out afterwards that it was a scame, that nicolas was trying to trick him to see if he would do it. but cullen new he would stay strong to win the bet or the car.
"I know that even with nicholas pulling his little vicodin trick on you, youd stay cool" (142). This quote was a surprise to gid, he didnt know that it was a trick he just thought he was being friendly and trying to get him high. But when he found this out, he realized that nicholas had something up his sleeve. This relates to character development in big ways. Before in the story Gid did not think that nicholas would do something like this just so he could keep the car. He thought he would play far. It now shows that nicholas is sneaky because he thought that if he gave gid the vicodin he would sleep with pilar because he would be so caught up in himself and forget about everhything else and so he would end up breakin the rule and losing the bet. So that is why nicholas is very sneaky and clever also.

blog 2!

I read pages from 50-110. So far in this story gideon meets pilar, she is a student from midvale academy also. She is rich and very beautiful. Gid instantly falls in love with her. When pilar gets drunk and passes out in the boys bathroom with gid, he takes her in and sleeps with her the night. Also what happens is Gid, cullen, and nicolas snuck over to madisons house,its then when we meet madison, mija, and erica.
"we need to talk about who molly is, and what shes into.when you know what chicks dig, its a lot easier to get them to like you." (104). In this chaper gid talks to molly mcgarry and becomes closer to actually being her friend. But before he can do this he needs to determine who she is, and cullen helps him do this. He determines who she is by what she eats and who she hangs out with. This quote makes me think about guys today...i mean are guys looking at what girls eat and who they hang out with to see who they are without saying anything to them? So if a girl was by herself and was eating a peanut butter sandwich would guys think she likes to be on her own and stil has 3rd grade lunches? so shes a loner and still yerns to be young? Its weird to think what can come up in ones mind....

I am reading the book inside the mind of Gideon Rayburn. I am around page 50 in it so far and i like it a lot! So far it is about a mystery character who is inside Gideon Rayburns head, so she can see and hear what Gid is thinking. Gid goes to a new school and one of the bets going on there is that Gid wont get laid by June. This book so far made me think of my own life because, not that people are making bets about getting laid. But it does seem like as time goes on that more of the younger people are starting to have sex. In this book they are juniors and most of them are having sex, just like us. Im not saying everyone in Edina Highschool are having sex, im just saying that some are or will soon. This made me realize that people want to get intercourse going quicker as time goes on. Im sure that 20 years ago not as many juniors as now had sex. The also made me think of my own life because Gid is the kind of guy who isnt real popular but tries to fit in. All my life i havent been the most popular but i have tried to fit in and not be an outcast. I mean i think thats what everyone wants, but it just made me relate myself to gid because we both want to be well liked by everyone.

Reflection

I am reading the book Inside the mind of Gideon Rayburn by Sarah Miller. This book is about a girl who gets inside a guys mind to see what he thinks about things of what hes doing. You could tell what the guy was thinking and what he saw. This book intrested me because i always wanted to know what a guy was thinking when he was talking to you or about to mess with other guys etc. I think any girl wonders what their thinking because guys in general are so complex. They confuse a normal person. I also choose this book because you never find out who is inside the mind. She is the narrator, but she doesnt say her name until the end. So this caused a sort of mystery feel on the book so that is another reason i chose it, i thought it would keep me occupied. I cant wait to read more!! :)

In the book eclipse they had a war between the newcomers and the vampires and werewolves. The vampires and werewolves were of course going to win but they did not no that victoria, a vampire wanting to kill bella would be there. She was there and edward was the only one to defend her. He was not supposed to win, she is much stronger then he is, it showed bella how much he cared for her. Edward over came odds and defeated bellas number one enemy. This is great it showed his family members a whole lot...
