Writing Reflection#1

For blogging and my six word memoirs I feel I’m doing very well because I love to write, it’s really the only way I can express myself coherently without stumbling on words or feelings. For my Six Word Memoirs I chose to stay in the classroom and finished two six word phrases for each topic no problem with enough time left over to catch up on reading my book. The pros and cons of this type of writing though are that it can either be very easy or very hard to express your feelings in six words, It doesn’t take long to write if you’re looking for something to do in a very short amount of time and finally it can be fun to do if you like writing like I do. This assignment though overall was easy and fun to do in my opinion and I learned that I can easily express some of my feelings in certain subjects very well. The blogging though has helped me feel more secure about my writing pieces and putting myself out there for people to see what I can do with my writing knowledge and skills and hopefully give me some helpful advice and or criticism.

Warzone by The Wanted

Ok here's another girl's take  from one of my bands The Wanted called Warzone. I don not in anyway own the lyrics I got off of metrolyrics. I really liked this song although I haven't experienced and I hope I won't ever have to the feelings described by the lyrics about a girl(or guy) or discovers their partner cheaating on them. Enjoy :)

Warzone (The Wanted) (Girl’s Version)

I can't believe I had to see

The boy of my dreams cheating on me

The pain you caused has left me dead inside

I'm gonna make sure you regret that night
I feel you close, I feel you breathe

And now it's like you're here

You're haunting me

You're out of line

You're out of sight

You're the reason that we started this fight
But I know

I just gotta let it go

 I should'a known

I gotta learn to say goodbye now

I throw my armour down

And leave the battleground

For the final time now

I know I'm running from a warzone
In our house, I hate that place

Everywhere I walk I see your face

Try to erase a memory with a flame

And hope I never see you again

Standing here in this burning room  

You know the end could never come so soon it’s clear to me the lies you use

The ones that kill me ain't hurting you
So I know

I just gotta let it go

I shoulda' known

I gotta learn to say goodbye now I throw my armour down

And leave the battleground

For the final time now

I know I'm running from a warzone
I'm running from a warzone

I can't do this anymore

I'm running from a warzone

What are we fighting for?
I'm running from a warzone
I know I just gotta let it go

I shoulda' known

I gotta learn to say goodbye now

 I throw my armour down

And leave the battleground

For the final time now

                I know I'm running from a warzone

Someone like You

Pg. 1-283 Sarah Dessen

Hi I just finished the book someone like you.  The main characters of this book are Halley and Scarlett. In the story Scarlett loses her boyfriend in a motorcycle accident and she and Halley discover a month later she’s carrying his baby.  I felt inspired at how strong Halley was throughout the book as she discovers love, and what it really means to grow up. What surprised me most is how strong their friendship was going through Halley’s boyfriend, Macon, Scarlett’s pregnancy and Halley’s car accident. My thoughts on Macon are basically a WTH were you thinking and most of these thoughts about the book are a T-S. As I read the book though I didn’t have any questions which is rare for me after picking up and reading a book like this one for the first time. Anyways I recommend this book and author to anyone who loves books on love, friendship and self discovery.

My Version of Heart Vacancy by The Wanted

Heart Vacancy (The Wanted) (Girl’s/My Version)

(Legend: (GUY), (GIRL))

Whoa...

You hear my heart cry for love, but I won't let you make it right,

I was hurt, but you decided that I was worth the fight,

Every night, I lock up, I won't let you come inside,

But the look in my eyes, I can turn the tide.

In my heart, in my heart, in my heart,

You can tell I can fit one more,

In my heart, in my heart, in my heart,

You don't care who was there before.

You hear my heart cry for love, then I act like there's no room,

Room for you, or anyone, "Don't disturb" is all you see,

Close the door, turn the key on everything that we could be,

If loneliness would move out, You'd fill the vacancy.

In my heart, in my heart, in my heart,

Ooh....

In my heart, in my heart, in my heart,

Ooh....

This ain't the Heartbreak Hotel, even though I know it well,

Those no shows, they sure tell, in the way I hold myself,

Don't you fret, should you get another cancellation,

Give me a chance I'd make a permanent reservation.

In my heart, in my heart, in my heart,

You can tell I can fit one more,

Open up make a brand new start,

You don't care who's stayed before.

You hear my heart cry for love, then I act like there's no room,

Room for you, or anyone, "Don't disturb" is all you see,

Close the door, turn the key on everything that we could be,

If loneliness would move out, You'd fill the vacancy.

In my heart, in my heart, in my heart,

Ooh...

In my heart, in my heart, in my heart,

Ooh...

When you talk to me on the phone,

I listen close.

You hear my heart cry for love, then I act like there's no room,

Room for you, or anyone, "Don't disturb" is all you see,

Close the door, turn the key on everything that we could be,

If loneliness would move out, You'd fill the vacancy.

In my heart, in my heart, in my heart,

Ooh...

In my heart, in my heart, in my heart,

                                                                            Ooh...

Reading Respone #2 (The Truth About Forever)

Reading Response#2

The Truth About forever

Sarah Dessen 245-374

For the questions to my first reading response I found an example of how the author connects each book, answers to my two key questions and how most of my comments and questions were either T-S or T-T.  The example I found of the author connecting her books through surprise appearances of characters from her other books or mentioning or visits to the towns Dessen uses for her stories. The characters Wes and Macy make a reappearance in the next book Just Listen in which the main characters Owen and Annabel are eating at a diner for breakfast and Annabel takes note of a couple fitting Wes and Macy’s description. The answers I found were quite simple and had been in front of me the whole time I read this book. People treated Macy differently for bearing witness to her father’s death because they pitied her and felt sorry that she had to go through such a traumatic event like that and it’s also part of the reason she dated Jason. It made her feel safe when everything else about her life didn’t. My final wish would be to be able to see my dad’s home in Ireland with my own eyes. How the book title connects to the book is simple because the truth game played by Wes and Macy can go on forever and forever can be many different things.

As I finished this book last week I felt like it was good how everything was resolved. Like how Caroline finishes the Colby beach house, Wes and Macy start dating, Macy and her mom reconnect and grieve over their loss, and finally that Macy learned how to finally move forward after the death of her father.

Immortal Flower Chapter 1

Hey this is the first chapter of one of my books in progress enjoy

Chapter 1: Slumber & Awakening

Flower

“Why? Why Flower of all my children” is all I hear my father say as the tomb door rumbles shut. It was fate I guess that brought me to this desolate place. Having my secret found out by the village head’s son got me here and labeled as a witch. What my father and brothers don’t know is that I’m cursed with immortality. I guess this is what I get for insulting a god and living to tell the tale but I’ve had to give up on love, marrying Shamus and having a family like other girls my age. So now I’m stuck in this tomb till someone decides to pillage my resting place. I lay down on the stone table, closing my eyes and wait/pray for the day I’m released from my prison.

Colin

“Can I come with you to the dig site dad?” I ask while I eat breakfast watching his reaction as mom cleans the oven. “Colin what did your father say last week” mom sighs from inside the oven. I go quiet instantly waiting for dad’s answer. “OK you can come as long as you don’t touch anything and don’t wander out of my sight” he sighs smiling as my eyes light up with success. I run and get my shoes on as dad gets ready for the long day ahead of us. As dad drives I eagerly look out the window excited for the adventure of going to work with dad brings. When dad finally pulls up to the site he reminds me what the rules are for this trip. “No touching or wandering off” he says as I nod impatient to get moving.  I follow dad closely as he gets a progress report from some of his co-workers. The last person he had to talk to seems excited as she talked about this stone tablet and a door in the side of the hill dad’s team is digging around. Dad’s eyes light up as the lady continues on mainly about the tablet and that an old man was here to see him. Dad races to the main tent before I can even ask what’s going on as I run to catch up. “Wait, dad wait for me” I shout but it sounded like a whine even to me. He stops at the entrance as I catch up to him. “Sorry son this is very important so wait here please OK and don’t move from this spot” he smiles. “OK” I sigh already a little bored as he enters the tent. As I stand outside kicking rocks I’m thinking about the last time I was here dad had a lot more time for me and how he had listened to all my questions.  I kick a rock a little to short a distance so I move and kick it farther when I feel the ground rumble slightly. Not enough to get the dig team’s attention but enough to peak my 7-year-old curiosity as I decide to investigate. I walk up to the source to see the door that lady told dad about open and everyone near it was asleep. I look inside real quick to see an empty room full of pictures and strange writing when someone taps my shoulder. I yelp in shock as I turn around to come face to face with a pretty looking lady. “Why hello there little one may I ask you what day it is?” she asks quietly her voice as soft as my blanket, which in my opinion is the softest thing in the world. She’s dressed like the dig team but she’s too clean to be working here with dad. I take her hand and guide her into the forest before answering her. “It’s July 20th 2001” I say watching her reaction. “Oh thank you little one,” she laughs. “I’m not little. I’m Colin Pearson 7 years old,” I pout as she laughs harder. “I’m sorry it’s nice to meet you Colin” she sighs as she wipes her eyes while leaning against a tree. “Who are you?” I ask still sulking a little bit. I pull my camera out of my pocket as she answers. “My name is Flower” she smiles as I take a quick picture for keeps. I knew as we said good bye to each other as she walked away I wouldn’t be seeing Flower again for a long time as I turned walked back to my spot outside the main tent. When I got there no one noticed I had gone missing.

Flower

“Meadow, MEADOW pay attention you have a photo shoot in an hour so don’t get distracted” my boyfriend and agent gives out to me. I shrug and continue to stare out the window at the scene of New York City. It’s been eleven years since the Pearson archeology team outside Dublin released me. I still remember Colin’s sad little face, the feel of his hand leading mine and as I walked away that day, how my heart felt crushed leaving him. He reminded me a lot of my second older brother Percy and how he memorized faces rather than names. He seemed some how familiar to me but I still can’t figure out who else he reminded me of. Good thing too I guess considering I’ve changed my name four times in the last four years to keep myself safe whenever someone got to close to my secret. Being immortal is difficult in this day and age with the science and technology but as long as I hide it behind a healthy looking face I won’t be hunted and locked up like before. I shudder and I’m thankful even now the man beside me doesn’t know who I truly am. I sigh and get out of the car as my agent opens the door for me. The cameras are already going off as I pull my sweater hood up to hide my face. I don’t enjoy the fans or their cameras I think to myself, as I get ready for the shoot with utter dread.

Hours later as I get out of the shower at the hotel I contemplate my life when Colin’s face appears in my thoughts again. I shake my head really fast to get his face out of my thoughts but recently this method has stopped working for me. I can still see how hurt he was that day vividly in my mind like it was I left him yesterday.  His red hair ruffled by the wind, blue eyes betraying the pain he was feeling that his words and body language wouldn’t. I sigh feeling my heartbeat slow as I mentally remind myself of my rules. NO children, NO old men, and absolutely NO revealing the secret. No matter how cute the boy I can’t break my rules, it would put the boy and myself in great danger if my immortality were found out. I turn on the hotel room TV as I clean up the towels I left on the floor. I feel Aaron come up behind me as I’m putting the towels back on the bathroom shelf I got them from. “Hi” I sigh as I lean back into him. “Mhm hi Meadow” he whispers into the back of my neck. I stiffen when I sense and feel where Aaron is taking this as he moves us closer to the bed. “Aaron no, what have I said and told you about where you’re taking this” I say firmly because I’ve had this argument with Aaron and the two men before him too many times for my liking. I squirm away from him and turn facing him arms crossed ready for whatever he had to say. “What we’ve been dating for eight months now Meadow. I thought you might be ready by now considering I’ve known you for ten months” he sighs as I bite my lower lip a nasty habit I picked up off of my previous boyfriend. “No I’m not ready Aaron. I’m far from it so I thought you would respect that but obviously not so go, we’re done” I whisper the epitome of hurt even though inside I wasn’t at all hurt or surprised. He slams the door on his way out. I slump to the floor relieved of another pushy boyfriend leaving my life. I pull on my plainest clothes, grab my suitcase and go for a walk to clear my head of today’s bullshit.
