Willow #2
        I just finished reading Willow and I thought the ending was really good. Willow found out that her brother cries at night from her parent’s death. She also found out that her brother doesn’t trust her anymore that he hates her for what happened in a way. Willow and Guy has fallen in love with each other and willow regrets every moment she cuts herself. Guy has helped her more that she is almost completely clean.
        
          I thought that this book was really good because I taught me the life of some people who lives are so bad that they hurt themselves just to feel better. I think that if that had happened to me I would feel the same way but I wouldn’t cut myself, if I am upset and want to feel better I have people around me who will comfort me. If I were in her shoes I would realize that it wasn’t my fault my parents decided to each get drunk with a 16 year old girl who only has her permit and has to drive on a stormy night. It just spells disaster. To me this book tells me that I should be happy with my life because there are others who go through pain and torture all the time every day.
Willow
        I am reading a book called willow. It is about a girl named Willow who is an orphan because both of her parents died in a car crash as she was driving. That night they were drunk. After they died she was so depressed her grades started dropping and most importantly she started cutting herself. She cut her arms her legs and even her stomach once. She says that when she feels hatred for herself and anger she dug a blade wherever there was a clean spot.
       
       She met this guy named Guy, he hated what she was doing to herself but he can’t just leave her alone with this. He started to help her through everything but it didn’t work for a while. Willow also has a brother that doesn’t know she cuts herself. As I keep reading I hope to figure out more about her and Guy and her brother too.

Much ado about nothin

I thought that the play much ado about nothing was really great. I love how they modernized it to appeal to teenagers more, because they wanted us to understand the story better. I did understand the story better, I understood about the pain and love that people went through.

The story to me was about trust and love. When the man didn’t believe his lover when she said that she didn’t cheat on him when she didn’t, he didn’t believe her. I thought that was really wrong for him to do that because he loved her so much and she loved him back, she was set up for this to happen. In the end when he found out that everything was a lie his fiancĂ© was already “dead”. He felt so guilty and so upset he agreed to marry another woman whom in the end ended up to be her.

To me this play was phenomenal, I really understood the story better than I would but it came out really good anyway.

romeo and juliet

As we are reading Romeo and Juliet I notice that Romeo seems to be really confused about how he feels. He says that he is in love with Rosaline but she doesn’t love him back. He says that she is the most beautiful girl in the world but she hath Dianes wit. She never wants to get married nor have children. To him this is torture, he wants her as a lover but she doesn’t.

I think that Romeo is over reacting, I already know about the story I know that when he meets Juliet he instantly falls in love with her. Romeo is being over dramatic; he thinks that his life is over as Rosaline does not love him. I think he should just get over her because he knows that it’s not going to happen. Romeo is just being a over dramatic person not realizing that he still has his whole life ahead of him and that he is going to meet someone new.

Water for Elephants

I have just finished the book Water for elephants. It was about a man in his 90s who is remembering back to the time when he carried water for elephants at the circus. When he was 19 his parents died in an accident. He was so upset he ran away and found a traveling circus the Benzini brothers’ most spectacular show on earth. It was in the 1930s when this all took place. He met a girl that he fell in love with instantly. But she was married to another man. He was a very violent man. as time went by they got closer and closer. And when her husband beat her one day she left him and went to the man that was in love with her. In the end they ended up together until she died 50 years later.


       I thought that this book was really addicting I couldn’t take my eyes off of the screen (was read on kindle) it was a very heartfelt and loving book. As this man is dying of old age he is remembering the days when his life ended and began again. I felt like I was in the story the entire time as I kept reading it. This book was so good I recommend it to everyone.
