Reading Reflection #6

Book: The Help

Author:Kathyrn Stockett

pages:164-213

Alright, I had a little break, I read the book Damaged but now its time to get back to The Help. Its taken me a little too long to get through this book. Its nothing against the book, so far I like the book. I just always get distracted. But Ive decided that I'm going to finish it. So as I read through these last pages, I was proven wrong. I thought Miss Skeeter was going to pursue her writing dream and yes she's been trying to do so but, I thought she was not going to find a man because it seemed like she didn't really want one.Stuart is back. I very really didn't seem this one coming. The question is though, by the end of the book, will she be with or without Stuart? That's what I would like to know. I honestly am not sure. I think it's possible that her and Stuart will work out. They are kind of cute. In regards to pursuing her writing, she has been trying to figure stuff out for that with the help of Aibileen and Minny. Its been taking a lot of effort but she is slowly getting there. Minny is helping yes but, she is not making it easy on her. I would like to know more about Minny. I would really like to know what she did to get herself fired. Im curious to find out. Also, just throwing this out there....I love Aibileen. From what I know of her so far. That's all for now though!

Robb Nash (Personal Addition 2)

         Today, our school was lucky enough to have Robb Nash and his band come to share with us Robb's life changing experience, stories of some other people and we even got to enjoy some of their music. At first when I heard we were going to a concert,I didnt know what to expect. The idea of getting out of class for an hour was nice, but when I got there and as i listened for a bit, I realized that it was so much more than just an hour out of class. Robb Nash was extremely inspiring. By the end of it, I really didnt want to leave. He is the type of person I can look up to. Whether the horrible accident he had with the semi truck had happened or even if it hadn't. Robb most certainly has a purpose. He has helped so many people and it inspires myself and many others to find out what our purpose is and find out WHY its our purpose. This guy is really cool and he has alot of insightful and important information. I hope that everyone listens to what he has to offer.

Writing Reflection #5

Last week in Creative Writing, we learned how to color coat our Moments. I found this very interesting and kind of fun. I've honestly never done it before. It opened my eyes a little bit. It really shows you what could be better or what you should add. It's really helpful and I'm glad we learned how to do so. Blogging has been pretty well the same for me. Something I still really Struggle with is Personal Additions.  I need to catch up on those. I googled Fanfiction, I'm still not really sure what it is. From what it sounds like, it sounds pretty cool though. I'm ok with trying something new!

Reading Reflection #5

Book:Damaged

Author:Cathy Glass

pages:1-163

I have to say, reading is my favorite thing about this class. Which if you know me is strange because I've never been much of a reader. At first, i was hesitant to the idea of reading every Friday but now I love it. I look forward to Fridays in English class because I know that means we get to read. Since this class started, I have noticed myself reading more at home. Lately, whenever I get the chance, I like to sit down and pick up a book. At the moment I'm in the middle Im still working on The Help. Over spring break, I read The Hunger Games and now I'm reading Catching Fire. The third book I'm reading is Damaged. This is the book I want to talk about today. I forgot my books at home last Thursday, so I picked this one up and started reading it. I ended up taking it home and continued to read there. It's about an 8 year old foster child. Its a true story and I think because of that, it's made the book more intriguing for me. It's heartbreaking to read some of the stuff that goes on in this book and to think about how it actually happens in real life. In my opinion its important for all of us to be aware. One big question i have is, What is going to happen to the little girls biological parents? Are they going to get what they deserve? I hope that the little girl fully places her trust in Cathy and ends up being truly apart of her family. She needs a loving home where she can grow up and learn what the difference is between right and wrong. I predict that this will happen in time but it wont be easy just like it hasn't been easy all along.

Favorite quote (Personal Addition 1)

"Life is short, break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile." - unknown

       This is my favorite quote. Life is about making mistakes and learning from them, it's about having so much fun with the people you love.If life were the opposite, we'd all be a bunch of robots.  Every time i come across this quote, it reminds me of the good things. It reminds me to never look back and regret past mistakes or experiences, especially the ones that made me smile because in some way or another that mistake has helped form who i am today. It reminds me to have fun, no matter what. Whats the point if were not going to have fun? You could say that this quote is extremely inspiring to me and I'm thankful to whomever came up with it.
