New Moon

Twilight was an incredible novel, with great characters, great plot, and interesting ideas on every page. I was really excited to get New Moon.
I am going to write a letter to Jacob, following the same pattern as Bella and Edward. Even though I am half way through this novel, and just getting to know who Jacob is, I decided that I am going to write a letter to him.

Dear Jacob,
I want to give you some advice about Bella. First off, she is in a very unstable state, so it could be very easy for her to use you as a crutch or an easy out of her suffering. So don't get too connected to her because something could happen...
Second of all if your going to be something thats bad for her, I don't want her heart broken, again. I think that you should be careful about what you do and say around your friends, and I have a quick question: why don't you talk to your old friend anymore?
Write back soon!
Sincerly,
your friend.

Blog post

For this blog post I decided to write a letter to another character in Twilight. Edward seemed like a fitting character to write a letter to since he plays a major role in the life of Bella. I am going to be writing to Edward as if I was his vampire sister from long ago.

Dear Edward,
You tell me about this Bella girl, but I have to admit that I am a little bit concerned for her safety and YOUR safety. I am scared for her safety, obviously, because at any moment you could loose control of yourself and end up hurting her or worse. (dun, dun, dunn) Sorry that wasn't a good joke, but I could see this hurting you too because if you hurt her, you will never get to live that down, literally, you are immortal. Also, if you think about this relationship about Bella in the long run, you are going to live forever and stay young forever while she is going to grow old and eventually die unless something happens. Not to throw any crazy ideas, but what if Bella become a vampire with you? You guys could live forever. I know that this might be a little far set but I am sure that Bella has been thinking about it for a while now. Since Bella is in love with you and wants to be with you forever its just as hard for her to imagine life without you, as it is for you to imagine life without her. Edward, write back soon!
Love you lots,
Your sister

blog entry

I started reading Twilight, and OH BOY... it's addictive. For this blog entry I decided that I would write the main character, Bella a letter, as if I were her best friend back in Phoenix.

Hey Bella!!!!
What's up? Well, why do I even bother asking, I know what's up, Edward, this vampire kid. I know you tell me all this amazing stuff about him to me and everything, but I almost find it too good to be true. I mean, let's be frank, you leave Phoenix with Jimmy Johnson, the nerdiest kid in the school, being the only boy that shows interest in you, and then you go to Forks, and meet a beautiful god like creature who's deeply in love with you. I mean, not to mention the other bajillion guys that are after you... It's crazy, and I really want to come meet Edward, and I really really really want to see you as an in love crazy pheen!!! Hahaha just kidding. Anyways, how's Jess, and that one other chick who's jealous and doesn't like you? Is it getting any less akward with Charlie, and does he know about Edward?????
Oh my goodness! That question just has me wondering, now I'm worried, would he get mad? Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness! Don't get into trouble. So, I have a few questions, just to be safe, do vampires normally lead their prey on for a long time, and make their prey fall in love with them because if that's what they do, then I think that you might be being deceived. Hopefully not, and if that is the case, it sounds like it's too late, he's already got ahold of you, and nothing ever could scare you away now, nothing at all. Good luck, and write back soon, I miss you a lot!

Love ya' like a sista',
Your Best Friend

blog #4

Tonight I read an article on why teens drink, and I thought it would be fun to write about this subject from a little kids point of view. Sorry if it's a little unclear or goes of topic, I'm going to try to stay in character and little kids tend to be a little unclear and they also tend to go off topic quite a bit.

Big kids drink beer for lots and lots of different reasons. First of all, they sometimes are eating good foods, like Doritos, Tootsie Rolls, Skittles, Fritos, pizza rolls, donuts, and even lollipops, and then after they eat all of those good foods, they're most of the time pretty thirst, so they pour themselves a cup of bear to drink after they eat all of their good food.

Another reason why big kids drink is because the beer tastes good. I bet that the beer tastes like a mix of Sprite, with orange juice, and apple juice, no milk though becasue milk doesn't taste good with juice. So, of coarse, if the beer tastes good they are going keep drinking more and more of it, I mean that's how I am with lemonade and root beer.

Since big kids are always doing stuff like, painting there nails, playing sports, writing, typing, eating, going to the mall, skateboarding, biking, learning how to drive, dancing, singing, laughing, smiling, talking on the phone, typing on the computer, they probably get pretty tired. The beer makes the big kids wake up and have lots of fun with their friends. If all the big kids are doing it then they can have even more fun.

My mommy said that I shouldn't ever drink beer though, because it makes you sick after, and it's not good for you. I think that she didn't want to be mean to the bad guys, but we all know that bad guys drink beer. I don't know if it's the beer that makes that bad guys to bad stuff, but BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY!!!!

The real article just summarized influence caused by parents, how drinking is considered to be cool, espapism, problems in love life, and addiction towards drinking. I found this informative essay to be brief and to the point, and I agreed with most of what the writer was saying, although these ideas were definetly not foreign to me.
