One word, Courage

Courage

   To me, courage is to have strength, to keep my head up during tough and challenging situations and to be brave.
   Living my word in 2018 will change my life because of the challenges I face in my life, I will have courage when I want to be myself; show the real me even when others try to bring me down by my appearance and by the way I act. To be me an not someone I’m not. I will have courage in myself when I’m struggling in a assignment or assessment during school and not to have fear when I’m stepping out of my comfort zone to start/learn on new objectives that I’m not familiar of. I will have courage in myself to share my opinions to others and to not fear on what they think about them at first. I will have courage in myself to be the leader when no one else steps up to be it.
   But most importantly I should not forget that I will have courage to grow and to move on when there is losses in my life. I will have courage to go down New or old paths even when I know or don’t know that it would bring new beginnings that I might think that would never happen in my life, or during thoughts paths there would be new/old feelings to me that I might not understand or want to feel.
   For me to follow this word in the year of 2018, I planned to keep it in places where it is most likely for me to see it, such as my room, school locker, and on my technology devices to always remind me to have strength in myself even when I fear to do most things; to be brave.

A greyhound of a girl

1-4-18

   A greyhound of a girl, by Roddy Doyle. This book is perfect for those who are interested in a paranormal historical fiction, but also has a heartwarming feeling from beginning to end.

   An Irish teenage girl named Mary is visited by Tansey a deceased woman who is somehow related to her. Soon Mary finds out that Tansey is here to guide Emer (Mary’s grandmother)  when she passes. As days pass Emer is getting weaker and weaker, but the family tries their best to make her last few days the best. Throughout the book the author gives us readers small chapters to provide us with information on how Emer and Tansey are closely related. From beginning to end the book will want you to keep on reading, and once it ends you’ll be begging for more. My favorite part of this book is when the family tries to give Emer the best day she can. During that chapter the author tells the readers the advantages and disadvantages of being a ghost. It explains how Tansey has to deal with it and while reading that I could almost visualize it which would then make me giggle.

   The main character is Mary O’Hara. Mary is a very cheeky teen especially when it comes to Mary’s mother and grandmother. According to the book “ The same way, like, I’d have to murder someone if I wanted to become a world-famous murderer,” said Mary. “Not that I’m looking at anyone in particular.” Cheekiness was often a sign of intelligence. So Scarlett usually liked it when Mary was being cheeky. My brained daughter has insulted me yet again! Sometimes, though, it was just tiring, and even Marys snores sounded cheeky.”(Pg.13) This quote means that Scarlett (Mary’s mother) realizes that Mary is being cheeky or rude when she’s trying to make a point and Scarlett has seen that as a sign of intelligence, but has also seen it as an insult to herself.

   I liked this book because I kept me really interested in it from beginning to end and when I finished my last page i wanted to read more. To me this book was the kind of book that i just didn’t want to end just yet which is the same way I felt with another book called PIE. I’ve read most of the book at first in 7th grade but when cool was coming to an end so was the school’s library, so i never got to read the rest of the book. When I came back to school and I found out that one day in ELA our class had a chance to go to the library, I reimbursed that i had never finished this book and I’m so glad i found it and got a chance to finally finish it. Which also makes me want to recommend this ok to other people because i think they might use enjoy this book as much as i did and once they finish the book they’ll understand what I’m talking about. The theme of this story is to have courage even when your loved ones will soon leave you, which is exactly what happening with Marys family throughout the book.

Perfection....

     The perfect friend would be the person I could go for good advice, who would text everyday just to see what’s up, the perfect friend who would bring me back up when I’m down, the friend who I could talk to about my problems or whine about how some things are struggling for me, the friend who comes over to my house every weekend or a friend who lets me come to their house every weekend. A friend who remember the little things in my life, a friend who’s got my back, the friend who makes the dumbest funniest jokes just to make me laugh and smile everyday. The best friend who would be with me from now on, but also the friend who accepts me for me and for me to be their best buddy.



    The perfect X-mas break, I would love to have my friends over for a hangout and give presents to one another, have a feist and a sleepover so the day would be forever in our memories. I would love to go out on Christmas Day, this year we are planning on hanging out with our cousins on Xmas day and try ice skating and I’m really hoping that we decide to do that. For the Holliday’s I would to be busy on the holidays, but not work busy, I want to be at places where it makes me feel like Xmas and New Years are the best holidays of all time. On New Years I would also like to have a big celebration where everyone I know and love is there and when the clock hits 12:00 we all celebrate with a big fiest and make wishes to happen in the new year. It’ll be the best perfect holiday vacation I will ever have.

PIE

12-12-17


     PIE, by Sarah Weeks. This book mostly holds, fiction, adventure, and mystery which brings a great excitement to turn each page as you go on in the book.

     This book takes place in 1955 where Polly, the pie queen of Ipswich, passes away with her niece and the whole town mourning for the loss. Alice is left with her aunt's extraordinary fat, remarkably disagreeable cat, Lardo who seems to have the secret to her aunts world famous pie crust recipe. Now everyone wants to get their hands on the secret recipe to be the next famous person with the best pie crust and win the Newbery Medal. Now it is up to Alice and her friend Charlie to discover the not so secret recipe and keep it as family treasure forever. With this book you'll enjoy every last bite of PIE. My favorite part of this book is when we find out if Lardo (Polly’s cat) has the recipe to Polly’s World Famous pie crust, the ending was stunning for me as I’m sure it will be too for others if they read this book.

     The main character is 10 year old Alice is very ambitious when it comes to find the secret pie crust recipe and more mysteries that need to be solved, according to the book “ ‘I don’t know,’ ” said Alice “ ‘But I’m sure if we put our heads together, we can figure it out.’ ” (Page. 79) I can’t say to much, you’ll have to find out what mystery Alice and her friend Charlie are going to try to solve, by reading the book.

     I loved this book I’ve read 3 times and it never gets old. Everytime I turn the page it’s like I haven’t read it before, it’s a surprise every page and very heartwarming from beginning to end. After reading this book I really do recommend this book to others or even my friends. It may be short, but it really sticks in you heart for a very long time. It’s my favorite book of all time and would relate to people in real life like in friendships, losses and in fresh starts… Though the theme would really stick out to some or many, but I know for sure it sticked out to me, that friendship heals the heart when in sorrow times and that the little things like memories, objects or even a person (or even a cat) stick with us even when we lose them. This book will always be my favorite book, and I’ll probably continue reading it time to time, “There are perhaps no days of our childhood we lived so fully as those we spent with a favorite book.” - Marcel Proust.   “I am a reader, not because I don’t have a life, but because I chose to have many.” - Unknown

An item that is pinned in my heart...

     

           
           An item that is close to my heart is my picture and picture frame of my kitten Koroline, my mom gave it to me on my 12th birthday, which was a few weeks after Koroline had died. Between me and my 2 other siblings I was the most affected of her passing. We had buried her in our backyard and had made a cross out of rocks we had found around our yard. The picture frame is on my nightstand right next to my bed, the picture has me and Koroline laying on my chest as I held her. And the picture frame is a cat covered with flowers. We didn’t exactly adopt Koroline, we found her. My older sister Alexia heard little meows on the side of our house, she was yelling at all of us to get a car board box to keep the feral kitten in. She was hiding in the bushes all alone and we had taken her in our family history pet were only, well Cats. Even though she has passed she will forever be in my heart. This picture tells me and reminds me that the best things happen unexpectedly and that life is short for everyone so we should embrace it by the time we still have and even though that our loved ones pass away they will always be with us just by something small or big we have to remind us of them. 😸💓

The Outsiders: Book/Movie Comparison

              There were many similarities and differences in the The Outsiders novel and the Movie such as the similarities, Ponyboy, Dally, and Johnny do end up meeting Cherry and Marcia at the Drive In theater, but a difference is that in the beginning of the novel Ponyboy tells the reader that he comes out of the movie theater and walks around town heading home before he gets jumped by Socs, but in the movie it first starts off with Dally waiting for Ponyboy and Johnny on the sidewalk and they start walking around town and end up in a drive in theater, another difference from the novel and movie is that in the beginning of the novel the characters are described by Pony and how all 7 belong to the group, but in the movie only a Dally, Johnny, and Pony are met in the beginning of the movie, but the characters are not described like they were in the novel, another difference in the movie is that The Socs are from South and The Greasers are from the North, but in the novel The Socs are from the West and The Greasers are from the East. A similarity from the movie and the novel after Johnny, Pony, Cherry, Marcia, and Two-bit leave the drive in theater, The Socs drive up to them to pick up Marcia and Cherry since they had found out they were walking with greasers, and both in the novel and the movie Cherry mentions that she doesn't want to see Dally anymore cause if she did she would probably fall in love with him.
       Some similarities is that in the Novel and the Movie Ponyboy had fallen asleep in the lot with Johnny when he gets home from a accidentally falling asleep in the lot Darry pushes him and he runs away, but the difference is that Darry hits Ponyboy across the face in the novel, another similarity is that after pony runs away he meets up with Johnny to run away with him too, and they end up walking to the playground where they are then approached the Socs that had picked up Marcia and Cherry when they were walking to get home, The Socs do end up putting Pony in the fountain and try drowning him, but then Johnny stabs Bob and the rest of the Socs run off and Bob ends up dying, after Pony and Johnny had killed Bob they seek help from Dally, which Dally gives them money and a gun and tell them to get onto a train and to hide out in an abandon church in , Johnny and Pony end up staying day for almost a week, they end up cutting their hair and Pony dyes his own, and Dally comes to check up and takes them to Dairy Queen where they talk about Cherry since she volunteered to be a spy for The Greasers and defend Johnny and Pony in court for Bob’s death, when they get back to the church from eating at Dairy Queen they find out the church is in fire and they try to save the children that are stuck in there, Johnny is badly hurt and Dally only has a burn on his arm and Pony didn't get hurt, Darry and Soda come to see Pony and take him home, the next day Two-bit and Steve come see Pony and they show him the newspaper, Everyone else goes to work while Two-bit and Pony go see Dally and Johnny, but a difference is that in the book when Two-bit and Pony see Johnny is that they see his mother and they tell her to stay away from Johnny, since she doesn't really care for him at home, but in the movie they don't show Johnny's mother.
      At the rumble, in the novel Darry is the first to get hit from his old buddy Paul Holden which only Soda and Pony knew, but in the Movie Pony gets hit first and it seems Pony’s gang knew. A similarity is that after the rumble is over Pony and Dally drive to go see Johnny, Johnny tells Pony to stay gold, Johnny then dies, and Dally is heartbroken and leaves the hospital and robs a store then the cops are after him, he asks for help for the gang, but it's too late to save him since the cops shot Dally down and Dally dies. The differences is that after Pony had left the hospital in the novel he gets a ride from a stranger and finds out he bleeding from his head, but in the Movie Ponyboy doesn't get a ride he goes straight home. Another difference is that in the novel after Dally dies Ponyboy faints and is recovering in bed, but in the movie it goes from Dally dying to a Ponyboy finding the note that Johnny had left him in the book Gone With The Wind and it ends there. Another difference is that in the novel Ponyboy talks about the hearing and about the argument between him and Darry because he wasn't doing his homework so he could get a better grade in English since he was failing, to Soda running out of the house about the unopened letter that was sent back to him that was supposed to go to Sandy, then Soda told Darry and Pony that he's always having to choose sides when they’re fighting, and they all promise to him not to fight anymore, but in the movie it goes to the scene Johnny had left the letter for Ponyboy, then the movie ends there. The Outsiders novel and movie both have many similarities and differences between the
