Perfect Chemistry Review

2009-04-19T10:07:00.000-07:00

"He's mocking me he knows it and I know it," The next best love story to twilight, a close second in comparison. The ironic love of a Gangster and a Pretty princess is the story that stops the heart of most readers that will read this book. Simone Elkeles's Perfect Chemistry is a two sided love story that takes the reader along for the ride trough exciting and embarrasing situations that fit the never ending love from beggining to finaly.
From the outside Brittany's life is perfect and that is the way she likes people to see her, Untouchable. But the first day of her senior year at high school she is faced with facts that she has been hiding for her entire life, and the starting point of this revelation is when she is seated next to the toughest Mexicano at the school, Alex Fuentes. Brittany is from then on running from the feeling she is developing for Alex While trying to hide her home life from everyone at the school and trying to hide her feeling for Alex from her best friends, and her boyfriend.
Alex however, never tries to hide his life from anyone, what he hides is all feeling in the first place, trying to ruffle Brittany's feathers he gets closers to her then he has with anyone in a while. Open and losing himself in Brittany this young Gangster finds out what really happens the night that his father was killed and the night that he was jumped into the gang, but even losing his best friend cant keep him away from his first and true love, Brittany.
This tragic love story is fraught with fights blood and everything that could catch guys eyes, while the love emotions and tears catch the eyes of any girl who would read this book. In any mind those story is common and over done, the white rich girl falling in love with the Dark poor guy, but this book puts to rest any scrutiny against love stories being used.

Animal Farm Review

2009-04-19T09:36:00.000-07:00

Beasts of England, beasts of Ireland, Beast of every land and clime, Hearken to my joyful tidings Of the golden future time. This book is the most creative, and factual parallel to the Russian revolution. George Orwell's Animal Farm is one of the few animal based books that I would read more then once, and that really is saying something.
The base of his book is the farm being taken over by animals, and running out the the humans, this base sets the seen for the rest of the book, the animals all feel overworked and in some minds they are not as over worked as they think compared to the end of the novel.
This novel is one of the few books that George Orwell wrote and the others that he wrote are not as historical as this but while the reading reading the book they don't even know that they are in fact reading the Russian revolution and the animals don't even have the same names as the people they are based on.

Tech Tool So Cool!

2009-04-19T09:24:00.001-07:00

Technology, the beggining and the end of the human race. My favorit techie tool is the internet, for me the internet is the only way to talk tomy friends that are out of state, and my family that is in California.
The conections made though the internet can be made through paper and snail mail too but this fast and cleaner way of talking to my family keeps the relationships we have exciting and new, in sme ways tis is my families way of sneaking around on each other.
The interenet is also a great way to be close to some of my friends that I cant see until I go to college, and I sometimes need to talk to them.

Anthem Essay thoughts

2009-04-19T09:08:00.000-07:00

“Dare not choose in your minds the work you would like to do…” The constant in Equality 7-2521’s life was to let others decide and if all agree with them then the option is right if not then the option is wrong, so they had to let the great “WE” make a decision then live with the decision. Being controlled by this great “WE” everywhere the people went they would be told that they would have to live, work, breed, eat, die, and that was their life, forever. The thoughts of men being blocked as well as the ability to be friends to any know person, as not to have favorites, and they had to love every man the same. The hope and freedom abolished the second that they had been born, and taken away from the mothers that they would never know, being told from that moment on being told that every man died at forty five or sooner. In Ayn Rand’s Anthem Had to be truly happy to out live the other men and women their age, for they would have no choice if the great ”WE” thought they would be better off dead.
The only real decision the great “WE” had aloud the people was to do and to live, the rest of their existence was placed in the hands of the great “WE”, and they had no other choice, if they defied the great force they would be put to death. The great “WE” raised a world that was conformed and controlled, and in that world they raised people that knew not the wonder of freedom or hope. The people are raised to think that all there was to life is the course that the great “WE” had set after apprehending, and made a new world obey their rules. Soon there was no reason to think that this “WE” was wrong and they conformed losing all of themselves in the shuffle of new ways. The great “WE” demolished the remainder of choices they had by telling them from birth that everyone was the same and they needed to love the great “WE” as they loved their brothers. The lives they didn’t even know they could have had been lost the day that the Council told them what they would do for the rest of their working years, and all choice was lost.

Spring Break UHH.....

2009-03-29T12:40:00.000-07:00

Spring break is normally spent either relaxing or partying. Well my spring break was all work, the second I came home Friday I was grounded, and my punishment was to do the chores that I was t do in the first place in a greater number. The only things that was aloud to me that wasn't work were my ipod(if I was working) and my books(if I was done working). At long last the break ended and I am cleaning the bathroom.

Most of the free time I ha when not cleaning I wasn't even Reading. Asking my friends they would tell you I spend more time with my books then I do anything else, so this is very big news that I only finished one of the four books I brought home. Reading being my life except the books I am writing, being well enough to read was a thin line I road to the end of spring break.

Anthem Review

2009-03-19T19:09:00.000-07:00

We have committed a greater crime, and for this crime there is no name. Anthem how might We say that we love thy words of collective interfaces. The words of thy author are that of and genuine un-conformed person. The book of Ayn Rand called Anthem, can I tell you how your view of the world has lost me completely.

Being lost in the way Ayn Rand writes is easy, but the fact that We as a self have never read words written in such a way we don't know how to tell you how to say to try and keep up with the "We's" and "They's" because they don't mean the same thing as they do in our normal writings.

Equality 7-2521 The star of their own making. Through His struggle to do what he wanted to do he found that he was one out of many, and not many. Conforming is the only thing that the leaders want in the story but from the moment that Equality 7-2521 found himself he also found his love, and that having favorite people was also okay.

The Golden One, the second friend of Equality 7-2521, and a reason of his having to run into the forest. She followed him in, and they lived happily ever after, while he planed the return to the city to rescue his first friend and the many other people that he knew.

Though the story is short it is long in the sense that you get wrapped up in the characters, even if there are only two or three main characters, you start to look at the situation from their point of view, and they leave you to confront the conformity in your newly opened eyes.

To Perfect My World.....

2009-03-11T11:16:00.000-07:00

The world needs a lot of work right now, and though many people dont see what they do to the planet, no one ever sees that they can stop what they are doing to the mother of our lives. Ways that we can help this long lived planet are list ed below.

Clean our streets,

Open up more animal shelters,

Plant more trees in our back yards,

Clean out the streams and rivers,

There are many other ways to clean out our world then to throw our trash in the garbage, we can recycle. As with others things such as how we treat each other just because someone is different doesn't mean that people should tell them that they are they should be who they want to be and not conform because someone says that's the right thing to do.

Keeping in mind that in my perfecteworlevery on would be their own person that doesnt mean that they hav to fight over what they would think is right, this perfect world should be calm and not have confrentation like the one we live in today.

Call of the Wild Review

2009-02-15T17:11:00.000-08:00

The laws of Club and Fang. However brutal they are, you have to live by these laws or get caught in the fight for you life as Buck did. John London' Call of the Wild Dragged me into a world that was as scary a tale as an intriguing adventure.
Buck' life was easy going an free until that fateful day that he was pulled into the life of a sled dog, and forced to leave his comfy home in the south. Buck went from being ruler of his land to ruled by the humans, and never recovered. His entire life come to sum for nothing next to his struggle to stay alive and not become a lap-dog along the way. His struggles consisted of many different owners, and being beaten to a point of death. The life long love he felt for his first owner was killed and replaced by a hatred for all things human, with one exception, and his wolf blood kicked in. Buck' story i enthralling and painful, but his life is the of a hero whom fought for his right to live and won.
This story is on my must read this, and I would tell anyone that they should read this book. The book called me from my high and mighty world back to reality and gave me a new hatred for animal abusers.

Antigone Review

2009-02-15T15:58:00.000-08:00

Mi Gusta, Antigone. The main character Creon Family is falling apart at the seems as his soon to be Daughter in law goes behind his back and Buries his dead enemies body against his wishes. Sophocles's Antigone captured me with the story of a young lady and her stand against the ruler of her country.
The story has ups, but these ups only make room for the decent at the speed of light. The most beloved Antigone gave her honer and rights to life away to bury a body, and in the course of the burying of the body she is seen and taken to the ruler to be judged. This story has for baring tales of male domination and female resistance, the family tragedies and Emotional depth of the book, though short, brings the story to life.
This book is a good read if you are looking for a short fast read to fill the sort amount of time voided space.

Taking a stand

2009-02-10T09:10:00.000-08:00

The stand one can take for themselves is just as strong as the stand as a person can take for others of their world. The stand that is taken against things being done that are not as justifided by law or pretence are the one s that are seen as heroic, however, the stands that are taken against things that are only seen as minor are the stands that are the most important. The people behide the stand have reason in tyheir mind to be there and are doing what they think is right, even though in some cases the stand is taken for the wrong reason and can be destriod in three or less words that will put the person in their place before something is done that will hurt others more then the person with the accusation.

The stands being taken these days are mostly all in court, but there are the few, and proud that go out of their way to make others lives as frustrating as possible, within good reason of course. With every word a person says there is a point of view that no one else understands, but with every thought that is spoken in a good reason, there is a problem that is solved before anyone gets hurt in mental or physical ways. Cause and effect of most of the worlds stands are mostly physical and are not any help against the people who attack metally against the people that they think are a problem, the problem with the world is that no one is strong enough tosay no more then once, and that one person can't stand alone or the stand will be pointless. My big question is if everyone in the world had a right to stand up and say what they think how many people would do so willingly?

1/2 way done!!!!!!!

2008-12-12T14:29:00.000-08:00

School here passes faster then light through space. The fastest classes I have had were the class that I enjoy the most like drama and choir, the best part of the year was the library time that gave me the ability to go to the school library every day (rejoice, rejoice on the highest). The worst part was slowly losing my good grades to the on going obsession of the Twilight saga. Going to the football games and Club meetings was the best way to spend my off time at school, and when I just get bored I would read over some of my again, that was more often then not.

Leadership

2008-12-12T13:59:00.000-08:00

A leader is the base of the worlds problems, the leaders that we have today are not required to take on the responsibility that comes with the job. Like doing what is best for the people of the country and not looking for what is best for themselves at the present time. A leader is strong and knows what they are doing before they take a job that puts them in the line of fire. A leader of this time and place will know that the people that they work with and the people that they live with are very different and have different views. Good leaders go to the extent to keep others from getting killed even if that kills them, a good leader is selfless, a good leader is brave, a good leader is protective, and a good leader can die for his people. Like Julius Caesar a good leader will fight to keep those who need his help safe, and that is their first job.

Julis Caesar

2008-12-02T09:22:00.000-08:00

In Julius Caesar' time children and adults were known to have sexual relationships that were only looked upon as bad if the adult was married. The adult males were the mostly active of this time in that area. Julius Caesar was also know to have done this once or twice in his life, however, there is no proof that can be traced back to this assumption. That this assumption was made to discredit Caesar mostly but as I said there is no Proof that this happened at all.

Poor listening skills

2008-11-17T09:15:00.000-08:00

"Before I can walk in anothers shoes, I must first remove my own." Sean Covey "The 7 Habits of highly effectiveTeens."
The shoes in this qote are the point of the listening skills. First you need to understand then you need to be quiet while the other vents his/her feelihngs to you in confidence. Some times Revere is needed of you from the person in question, and you need to give it without complaint.

7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens

2008-11-07T06:12:00.000-08:00

Keeping promises to yourself can be frustrating, because everyone thinks big when the time comes to do something for yourself. The promises that are kept most in my family are the ones that are pointless and have no real worth, like calling the school when someone gets sick, or giving Christmas presents on Christmas eve. The least important promises are the most kept in families, because they are the easiest to keep, like my family. The most likely to be broken of promises is a little more complicated, like "I'll do the dishes mom." or "I'll take out the trash dad." you don't see these broken because the person who make the promises the most is the person that break the promises the most and people expect that of them.
In Sean Covey' "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens" He explains the best ways to build up to being able keep all your promises, even though that means giving up habits that will hurt to lose. keeping promises can, and will make the way you feel about yourself more pronounced, and you will feel good about yourself, I know I do.

Scifi conflict

2008-09-17T14:48:00.000-07:00

I like Scifi books when I don't have to read them for home work. I don't remember the last Scifi book I read on my own will but the last one I read was a H. G. Wells book called 'The Invisible Man' I have to admit that it was a good book but I wasn't aloud to read ahead or enjoy it over the weekend. I had to wait for the pages to be assigned, and if you are a fellow reader you know how being told to put the book down in the middle of a climax can get annoying. I can say that I am a big Scifi person if I wasn't told to read this book I most likely wouldn't have even picked it up at all. I am not that big into fact or fiction novels but I do like the idea behind most of them, like in the time machine, aliens, living in space, or even the Sheree fact that the world will end. I don't think that Scifi is my kind of genre but I can say that I do like some of the more fictional story's. I would think that the best Scifi book I read was the Invisible man and that if I could I would go compliment H. G. Wells on his weird way of looking at the world. His views on how people treat the differences of other people has changed a lot and I don't doubt that not far in the future if not now people will be able to become invisible. If I had to chose between my mostly Based on the real world books and Scifi books I would chose my books not because I think its better but because I know it is more possible to happen first if it hasn't already. As you can see I know that the government is hiding stuff from us and you can believe what you want but I think that if they make one good decision it would be to keep that kind of power to themselves. Then again they might not know about it ether and then it would be under round people that were making this stuff, and then those people would use it in what ever way they wanted. It could be out there right now, the secret to invisibility, and the cure to the common cold. I can see these things happening but the time machine I think will be just a little longer. But then it could be out there and hiding like the invisible man did in the book no one can see it till its gone. I know I sound like the kind of person that would be reading Scifi books but I was raised to think twice about anything that seems impossible. I will read Scifi books but I don't really like them as much as the real world books I read.

Dear President

2008-09-17T11:05:00.000-07:00

I think that the next president will be McCain. Now I don't really like any of the people running but that has nothing to do with the fact that one of these people is going to be president I would think that any one will be able to be a good president if they knew what was going on, but that doesn't mean that I'm right. A good president in my view would not have people over seas fighting a war or rising taxes or promising stuff that is unethical and most likely won't be done by the time they get out of office. I don't expect a lot from any of the people running but I do think that they can do it.
My brother went over seas and never came back so I know why Bush put them over there but I don't really care that it is a good reason. Having people (that volunteered) go over there my brother one of them to keep things like 9/11 from happening again seams like a good reason at first, but after all the losses and having people talk about it like it was the smartest thing to do in the world, you tend to go a little wacky. My whole life I was made to believe that the president controls the U.S.A and that we need to tell him what we want and he will try to do what is right, even sometimes the choice he makes is wrong,or a mistake. In my opinion it's always the latter because haft the people in office lately don't even know what they are doing, if you look at it like that most of the presidents had people help them get into office and tell them what is the right thing to do.

I cant say that I know more then the people that have been president and I know that this was a direct attack on them but I DO NOT agree with this governments way of selecting presidents the people running should have a common sense test before they get put in office. Not many people share my views on the government but that is another blog topic, I think that for the most part the person that will have the most votes in the end in McCain, not because he is smart, or funny, or even well dressed, but because he has the best pitch. He believes in hope, peace, other stuff that will not happen during his presidency, I am all for these things but I know that the only way that will happen is if this war in Iraq stops and a lot of other stuff that I told myself I would never utter to a living soul. If the people really wanted to be president they would stop thinking about the rules and start doing what a leader would do get involved no matter if they get hurt in the process.
