Week 33 Anna Dressed in Blood and Girl of Nightmares- Pure Emotion

Anna Dressed In Blood Girl of Nightmares


This week, I read Kendare Blake's " Anna's Dressed in Blood" and "Girl of Nightmares". I actually enjoyed the book. I liked it, but I also didn't like it. I mean, the plot was good, but how the story was written was kinda bad. Like, it was kind of rushed. The protagonist, Cas and Ana just met and fell in love just two months. That's kind of unrealistic, but nonetheless, I still liked the story.
      In the book, Cas job is to bring dead people who has done bad things to rest. This job is very risky, and it could cost him his life. Even his dad, who had the same job as him died because of this job. A lot of things changed after his father's death. His mom wasn't the same anymore when his father was still alive. I just felt really bad for him. I'm a daddy's girl. I can never imagine myself losing my dad. At times, I think that I'd rather die before my dad, than see him die. I know it doesn't sound right, but I really just can't think of myself watching my dad inside a coffin. I imagined myself in Cas's feet, and I it's safe to say, that I would've probably broken down especially with all the other things happening around him. (Even his mom was greatly affected of his death.) If ever my dad died, I probably will never be the same person. I would be changed and will act very differently. 

Week 31 Pride and Prejudice

Writing a letter
Dear Mrs. Bennet,
     
  This letter would be hard for you to understand due to the fact that I'm from the future. Our English Language today is not as formal as it was in your time. But anyways, that's not important, as long as you get what I'm trying to tell you.

         Reading your daughters' life story, I saw that you had favoritism among your daughters. You might think that liking one daughter more than the other night not affect the other daughters, you're wrong, it does. It's okay to have different relationships each child, but to praise one more than the others is not. It could affect your other daughters emotionally, could lower their self-esteem, and could result to behavioral problems during childhood. You really need to stop with the favoritism. It won't bring any good to anyone in your family. Show your love equally to all of your daughters.
     
   Thank you for taking your time to read my letter.

Sincerely,

Clawy

       I appreciate your concern for our family, but please do mind your own business. Our family concerns, are not yours. Please don't tire yourself with our problems.
 
      Thank you, and please don't get in people's businesses ever again.

Respectfully,

Mrs. Bennet

       

Week 30 Keeping Safe the Stars

First things first, I really just want to talk about how weird the title is. I thought it was going to be like the book "A Wrinkle In Time" with the title and stuff. For this week, I'm going to write a "Prediction" type of blog post.
      I will give you a brief summary of what I have read. Pride, Nightingale and Baby are orphans. They live with  Old Finn their grandfather (Mother's father). In a secluded place away from the city. One day, their grandfather had a fever (Still not really that sure cause I still haven't gotten to the part where they would actually talk about his disease. Probably a few more chapter then I'll know the real reason he was sent to the hospital)and had to go to the hospital. Their grandfather was sicker than they thought that he was so they had to take him to the hospital. The three siblings are trying to hide the fact that their living alone in their house without an adult from other people (except for Miss Addie and another "almost friend" of Grandfather" ). Because of the fact, that authorities could take the three of them away and put them in the orphanage. The three of them already had an unpleasant experience there, so they are trying their best to not let anyone else know.
      I'm predicting that authorities will know about the fact that the three of them are living alone in the house while Old Finn is in the hospital. They would take the three of them away from their house and Old Finn and bring them to the orphanage. After that Old Finn would be healed and would discover that his three grand kids were taken to the orphanage. He'd ask for Justine's. ( Justine,- a lady and Old Finn, according to Pride has a a secret relationship, but Pride has never seen her, but had just read Justine's letter from Old Finn. )  help to try and get his three grand kids from the orphanage. Then, him and Justine would raise the three kids together and give Pride, Nightingale and Baby normal lives, which includes going to school, having friends, etc.

WEEK 29 Prisoner B-3087

For this week, I'm going to be doing a "Pure Emotion" type blog post on Prisoner B-3087, by Alan Gratz. My blog post this week is going to be similar to last week's. Yanek lived a normal life, a happy young boy who goes to school, plays outside, had a loving family and lived a happy, fear-free, normal life. Never had he though that he would lose his family at a very young age and for him and his fellow Jews to live such a cruel life, but in just a snap, his parents, uncle, aunts, cousins, and his people died. It all went so fast. At a very young age, he has seen things, that no one should ever see, done things that no one should go through. He lost the people he loved. What could be worse than that? Knowing that your family died in a harsh is really painful. Just imagine how hurt he was. He wanted to cry, but he can't without being watched. His uncle, his only family left, the only person that could've comforted him, can't even freely talk to him without being harshly observed by the Nazi soldiers. Just imagine, living under the harsh hands of the Nazi soldiers. Just imagine, a 14 year old, restraining himself from crying because he knew that he had to be strong. He had to be tough with all the things happening around him, thinking about the family he lost will cause emotional wreck. Just think of yourself in his shoes. How much pain you'd go through. Won't you wish that you can just to be alone in a room cry, and have a family to comfort? If you were him, wouldn't you just commit suicide to end your pathetic tiring, pitiful and, depressing life.

Week 28 Prisoner B- 3087 Making Cconnections

This week I'm reading Prisoner B-3087, by Alan Gratz. This is the true story of Ruth and Jack Gruener. Ruth and Jack were victims of Hitler's cruelty during World War II and holocaust. Yanek and I doesn't have that much similarities. We have a lot of differences, but there's still something that I and Yanek has something in common. In the book, he lost his loved ones. They died because of the harsh environment and the brutality and cruelty of the Nazi soldiers. Though I never lost someone I loved in that way, I still lost someone special to me. This month, my grandpa died. I was really  close to my grandpa so, I was really hurt. It was expected that he was going to leave us soon, but it still hurts. Losing someone you love is one of the most painful things ever. Knowing that you won't be able to talk to them, to hear their voice, and to not be able to see them anymore. You think of all the good and bad memories with him. Luckily for me, I still have a family to comfort me. Yanek had his uncle, but they can't even freely talk. That makes it harder for him.
