I recently began reading twilight, I am aware that it is a series for girls but I thought it would be interesting to see if it was different from the movie. I think Bella is very needy and always asking for something or saying something she can never just be happy the way it is. Edward is very creepy there are some traits of his that may give you the idea he is a vampire, the main one is that he is pale and his eyes are also red.
               Edward has a family of vampires they all live in a mansion. Bella and Edward were basically created for each other but what is his family going to say when they find out he is with a human when there all basically mortal? 

I like Hanaa's post about pretty little liars because the most out of any that i read because when i was reading it, it didn't feel like I was reading it from a computer screen it felt like I was actually listening to her and invisioning the images she describes in her blog post. I like how she talks about each aspect of the book and what happens in each part. She concentrates on letting people that are reading her blog to really understand the book and understand what is happening and it is all very clear and easy to understand. 

I recently begun reading I AM LEGEND, I really like it. I think Robert is extremely smart and knows how to live in a environment like he is in and will survive because he takes care of all of the weaknesses and isn't lazy at all he works hard to survive. I don't really get how the zombies know him though, because they said his name and got inside his head but how would they do that when there infected I wouldn't think they would be able to talk.
                      I think I have been in some situations where I have felt like Robert because he's very lonely and isolated he doesn't have much to do other then work eat and sleep and the same routine can get nerve racking after a while especially when they get inside your head and tourment you then it would be easy to become physco and just completely lose it.

Jonas escapes from the community with Gabriel, not long after search planes coming looking for him. They have heat seeking radars so every time they come he has to hold Garbriel and remember a snowing memory so they can have a cold body that isn't letting off much heat so the radar can't find them.
He developed a routine sleep in the day when planes aren't out searching, and bike at night. He became acustomed to this routine, and the farther he traveled the more colors and animals and life he was seeing it was amazing to him it had him struck how georgous the world was. How much more there was to just sameness.
What if the world was all the same and there was no feeling? I wonder if people would be able to make that kind of transition out of this world and into that world.

Jonas and Giver come up with a plan to escape from the community meanwhile when he leaves the memories will stay and the people will get the memories and be able to have feeling and not live a life of sameness.
      The only thing is the Giver can't leave with Jonas he must stay because if he doesn't the people will suffer from the memories and won't be able to live through it and would most likely apply for release.
I have been in the same situation as Jonas where I had to give up something to get to something greater, me and my friends always played 78 precinct basketball together but when I made the travel team I started playing there and didn't go back to 78 in house because it wasn't much of a challenge but the travel league was and I liked playing in it a lot more. It improved my basketball skills and teamwork skills . Sometimes it is better to move on from something your familiar with, just to increase your social skills and explore new oppurtunities.

       Jonas is receiving the memories from the giver, he doesn't realize how much pain he is going to be in. But I feel like Jonas is different than the Giver. He's not as loyal and doesn't realize how much trouble he will be in if he tells people but yet he still tries to hint people in on his training. For example he was walking home from training with Asher and he tried to explain to him the color red because everything is sameness after laws were changed on earth. The sun was removed and along with different races, now everything is the same but the Receiver has the power to see the differences, see the color and he has all of the memories from when the world did have color and the sun and different races. Receiving all of the painful and hurtful memories will be a challenge Jonas must overcome but also keeping his mouth shut about his training because if he doesn't he may be banished from the community for ever.

          I can kind of relate to Jonas because he is training and is being taught by his teacher which in my case would be like practicing basketball and my coach would be my teacher because he pushes me and makes me overcome challenging obstacles which makes me become a better basketball player and Jonas has to over come the painful memories to become the Receiver.

In the giver there is really only one perspective and that is Jonas'es and he kind of unfolds the story with us the readers and it feels like were with him when he keeps discovering more and more about this society and the secrets and what is really going on. but the main person who's perspective is missing would probably be the person in control of the society because no one knows what he's thinking and no one even knows about him yet none of his ideas are being showed in the text so i think the book is a guessing game of what's really gonna happen in the end just because it doesn't show any real feelings they feel like there all fake and nothing is real it is just a world of other people bossing you around and thinking for you. 

             I feel the same way when I'm in school or at a camp because you can't think like oh i'm going to play basketball in 10 minutes or I'm going to eat in 10 minutes they choose it for you so i do know what Jonas'es world feels like, i have a feeling of what it is.
