"Breaking dawn" Summer blog #4

Book: Breaking dawn
Read: 384- end (768)
Prompt: Pick three pictures that represent your reading. Write a paragraph for each, telling what each item says about what each item says about what you've been reading.

          The book "Breaking dawn" is a very complex book with a lot of emotions. I think that one picture that helps describe Bella's love for her child is a clock. I chose this item because in the book Bella is faced with only so much time with Renesmee because she is growing up extremely fast. I think that this would honestly suck for  Bella because she doesn't get to enjoy time with her as much because before she knows it Renesmee will be all grown up.

           The next picture that I would chose is a picture of Loyalty. I would chose this item because in the book Bella had told Jacob that she didn't like him like how she likes Edward and still Jacob stood by her side in the "war". I think that this can also relate to some other people like there relatives from around the world because they came to help defend them also. I believe that most people have loyalty and if they do they are most likely a good friend. In this situation Jacob is a very good friend because he cares for Bella which I honestly think is really sweet.

          The last picture that I chose helps describe how Bella now has a whole new life. The picture is an infinity sign because Bella and Edward's love will last forever considering that they cant die really. I think that this can also resemble how Bella will always love her daughter and how she will always protect her even if she may not be with her. I highly recommend this book to anybody who would like to have a romantic adventurous book.

Prompt: Pretend you get to make the music soundtrack for what you've been reading. What three songs would you include? Write why you chose the song and how it connects to what you are reading.

          In the book "Breaking dawn" when Bella first wakes up I think that the song that I would include is the song called "Crazy". This song is a cover on the original version and this version is a bit darker which I think fits. I think this song would fit because she is wondering what is going on and she is just overflowing with emotions which anybody would feel like if they just gave birth to a child while being changed into a vampire. In case you are interested in the song, this song was sung by Daniela Andrade.


          The next song that I would chose is "My favorite faded fantasy". I would chose this song because Bella is adjusting to her new body and is growing and having to basically live her life all over again and learn how to walk different etc. I think that Bella is a  very strong person who can take about anything and is driven to protect her family no matter what. Bella is a very self reliant person but feels empty without Edward which I learned in previous books. In case you are interested in this song it is by "Damien Rice".

          The final song that I chose was "Young and Beautiful" I chose this song because in the book Bella needs to build up the confidence up for herself with Edward because of her new image. I also chose this song because it describes how Bella knows how Edward will still love her because they have an unbreakable love which I really like. The song is sung by Lana Del Rey and I really like this song because it has a nice beat and I love Lana Del Rey's voice and type of music. I recommend this song and this book because there is a lot of music that can go into this book and it is a very dark book.

The Help Blog #2

Book: The Help
Pages read: 303 - 464 (end)
Prompt: Do you like what you're reading? Why or why not?

          I personally think that the book "The Help" is one of the best books I have probably read. I think this because the book was filled with excitement and it was also filled with a ton of risks. The book was very sad at the end and made me cry but it was still very good. The reason why I cried was because Abilene had gotten fired because Hilly wanted to be rude. Abilene had this very strong relationship with her boss's daughter and when Abilene got fired the daughter started crying and then everyone felt bad except for Hilly of course. Therefore because of this I feel like the book was amazing because you wouldn't expect that because everyone ended off happy accept of Abilene who soon retired.

          The book "The Help" I think was also good because the book didn't end happy for all and made you sentimental which really made me like the book. In the end of the book "Skeeter" ends up moving on with her life and went to go pursue her dream. To know that they told us this first really made the story end well for her. "Minny Jackson" ended her story well as well because Celia told her husband about her being her maid and he was cool about it and then Celia made a big feast for them all to enjoy. I liked this because it shows how not all people were ruthless at the time.

          I finally liked this book because the movie was exactly the same minus some things but mainly the whole story line was the same. I think that the casting for the movie was amazing and almost what I envisioned. The characters were right on of what I mostly envisioned however I expected the setting to be a bit more green and not have as much dirt. I think that it was cool to see it all play off and how the characters actually looked. I definitely would recommend this book to any person who likes realistic books.

Book: The Help

Prompt: "What emotions do you feel about your reading? Describe what is going on in the reading that makes you feel that way?"

          The book "The Help" is a very realistic novel. At the time "1963" segregation was still going on and that was a very sad time, thus the feelings puts the reader in a very gloomy mood. In the book people like Minny get treated really bad by their boss. When Hilly wanted to make bathrooms for the maids the maids felt bad because why couldn't they be treated the same. Because of this when it was raining really bad Minny had to use the bathroom inside instead of having to go outside however Hilly was felling ruthless and forced Minny to go outside. Minny of course being the feisty girl that she is disobeyed her boss and went to the bathroom inside. Later on Hilly soon finds out and then fires Minny which really hurt me because Minny should be respected and for Hilly to not show respect honestly is very rude and makes the reader almost feel bad.

          Another emotion that I had encountered throughout the book is happiness. I encountered this feeling when Minny took Celia under her wing and helped her when she was in need. Minny taught
Celia how to cook and helped prepare herself for when she has her child. One of the things that I personally think represents their friendship is a giant chicken wing. I think this because in the book Minny exactly taught Celia how to make some of her food. The food that Minny makes is told to be very delicious.

          The last emotion that I encountered so far in the book was seriousness. The reason why I felt this way was because it was a serious time considering that segregation was amongst them. The fact it had ended in the year of 1964 worries me because that wasn't so far ago. People like Aibileen were treated very harsh and rough and I think that no one deserves to feel this way because it can have a serious effect on someones thinking/felling. Aibileen had lost her son which already is a serious matter.
