This poem is saying to just relax and live in the moment. Don’t worry about the past and don’t even think about thinking of the future. A father and son/daughter went camping and they built a fire. This person’s dad told them that if they look into the dire they could read their future. This person asked themselves questions before actually trying to see if it would work. They wanted to look but would they be satisfied with what they saw? Did they even want to see their future?

In the last stanza they are deciding to just not look. Enjoy the dancing flames while they lasted and the moment of peace. Rather than read the fire like a book. They wanted to take in the beauty of things, the beauty of now. This person wouldn’t want to ruin it for themselves and look into their future. It would be better to wait it out and maybe be surprised at how good or bad your life turned out. If you look into your future what if you try to stop what happens because you don’t like what you see?

If someone was to go to a palm reader and found out their future and didn’t like it they would obviously try and change the course of things. It’s good that the narrator didn’t look into the fire because whatever happens happens and it was meant to happen anyway. Your future is destiny. Why look ahead when it’s best to be surprised? Looking at your future is like ruining a surprise party. 

Catching Fire **SPOILER ALERT**

"But Gale is not one to keep secrets from me." "Katniss there is not District Twelve."



When I read the last lines of book two I was so upset. I was confused. “… There is no District Twelve.” I thought he meant they were living in District Thirteen the whole time because I remember when Katniss met Bonnie and Twill in the forest. They had assumptions that District Thirteen in fact actually did exist. Capitol was just keeping it a secret because they thought District Thirteen would die off eventually without the Capitol’s help.

Bonnie and Twill mentioned that they thought Capitol was showing the same footage of District Thirteen over and over again. They also thought it was done with a lot of other Districts. Therefore they didn’t really know what was going on in the country of Panem. They probably only knew what was going on in their district and what they thought they knew from the other districts.

After I started the last book everything fell into place. District Twelve was attacked by Capitol and all the District Twelve people moved to District Thirteen. Life has changed for Katniss. She feels like she’s lost everything she’s ever loved but all of those people are out of reach except for her “fiancé” Peeta. Capitol thinks he knows about the revolution but he doesn’t have a clue. When Peeta tries to give them signals about attacks he gets punished all while Katniss is watching and it’s only making things worse for her.

Romeo and Juliet

When reading the book the words are hard to understand but after awhile things are easier to comprehend. While watching the movie the dialogue was hard to follow but the movie was an image therefore it made things simple. When I read the book the whole time that scene of the movie is being played in my head.

When Romeo gave the speech about love the setting matched the words he said. While reading the book I saw his grieving face and the setting.Throughout the whole movie the setting matched precisely with what was happening.

There's always a part in a movie that annoys some people and that part for me was at the end when Romeo was about to drink the poison and Juliet saw him yet she didn't really stop him she just laidhere and watched. Before that when her eyes kept fluttering and finally they opened Romeo just didn't see her eyes open.

Along for the Ride *SPOILER ALERT*

Along for the Ride. I just started this book and so far the main character Auden isn’t having such a great life. Her parents are divorced. She’s fine with that. It’s just the fact that her parents don’t really pay much attention to her and she does what she pleases. She was brought up the right way and was the mature one out of her and her brother Hollis. She’s the one with good grades and the one that works her butt off as hard as she can.

Her parents are proud of her for that but whenever her brother finds a new career path her mother is all for it and doesn’t pay attention to her. one part in the book they were talking on the phone and Auden asked about Hollis and her mother almost immediately moved on to how its great that he has a new career, then Auden tries to change the conversation but her mother still sticks to the topic of Hollis.

This book takes place in the summer so Auden decides to stay with her dad, his wife and their daughter for the summer. She’s been there for about a couple days and already there are problems and she hears the truth about why her dad thinks she’s here. her dad thought she was coming down to help with the baby not so he could spend time with her, as him and his wife are talking about that Auden hears and that makes me feel so bad because what father doesn’t want their own daughter????

I choose this blog as my mentor blog because almost every single post is detailed and has personal connection. I really admire that every post seems never ending because all the paragraphs are long and packed with the best context. When this person writes you can tell that they take the time to do their blog posts. I think the reason why is so that the people reading the posts feel like they just have to read the book this person is writing about. That’s why I choose this blog as my mentor blog.

The Awakening

I have just finished reading the first book of Vampire Diaries, called The Awakening. There is this character named Elena who is basically the queen of the school. There is also this new boy named Stefan who is very attractive and he has caused Elena to embarrass herself by trying to get his attention.

I found that part in the book very funny because it’s crazy what people will do just to impress someone. Not only is it crazy but its dumb. Why can’t you just stick with what you have already instead of trying to get more and hurting the people around you?

After she gets this boy she hasn’t told her friends any of the details. Obviously that would make them feel bad. Prior to Stefan she went out with Matt. When she broke up with him he was hurt because after that she just did stupid things to get Stefan’s attention. For a while Elena’s character just annoyed me. But know I feel bad for her.

Come Together

In the book Fallout there are these kids that don't really know each other but a linked because of their mother. At the time in the beginning of the book I thought they had no clue about each other at all. Turns out they did know each other.

Hunter, Autumn, and Summer. Hunter and Summer knew each other and have even meet a few times, they heard about Autumn but didn't really believe she existed. Autumn didn't even know about her other siblings because her aunt and grandpa kept her away from her parents.

When Autumn found out that she was kept away from them, everything clicked into place. The reason why she had been all over the place with different schools and friends. All to keep her away from her drug addict mother and invisible father. Later on in the book everyone meets everyone and its all very awkward because their mother is confronted and eventually no one knows what to say.
