The ten things I would bring with me if my house was on fire:
1. My cat Misty - I love her to death
2. My other cat Patches - I also love her (the photo [Patches would try to eat Misty if they were face to face])
3. My laptop - It's too expensive to lose
4. + 5. Sky and Angel - my chilhood stuffed animals and I would be lost without them
6. My phone - I need that to call 911
7. My iTouch - i need that to keep my cool when upset (such as the house burning down...)
8. My blue-hearted necklace - it was given to me by someone I care about and it's one of a kind
9. The Host book - My favorite book
10. Spirit the movie - my favorite movie and you can't get it anymore

Ideas for Jane Eyre Project

So i was thinking about doing something involving pagan ideas, christain ideas, and Jane. I was going to explain why she went from christianity, to pagan, to christianity, and then to pagan again and then i believe she stayed pagan for she went outside many times and she didn't pray much and there wasn't much talk about christanity.
Paganism interests me since my cousin is one although I haven't seen her in about 2 years and it's ideas appeal to me.

Vampire Diaries

So I started reading Vampire Diaries and I'm reading the first book and I'm kind of shocked. Everything is about Elena Gilbert. Seriously. I mean talk about self-centered. I don't know how her friends can stand her. Elena does NOTHING for her friends. She only whines about Stephen and how she wishes she could be with him and etc. And yes i know this is a short post but I'll write more in the next about this subject.

The start of the blog...MY blog ABOUT me

School project is done. So now it's just blogs and such about me and books and such...i honestly don't know what to write about. I just read I am Number Four it was quite good. I would recommend someone to read it if you're looking for something that you can't put down. In the end, it does get a little bit confusing, but if you re-read it, it makes more sense. I never saw the movie yet, so I wouldn't know what was changed or not, but I assume the book was better than the movie even though the handsome Alex Pettyfer played Number Four.
For my life part, it's pretty boring. I have nothing to do and I have this depressed feeling. Maybe it's becasue it's dark and raining outside. *shrugs*

Last Blog for school!

Both Books
Blog #12
                Continued from the last blog: I am still comparing the books, but now it’s more on the character and their lives. During the story, Ender is about six or seven and he ages to eleven and twelve then skips to when he’s older, and then older still. Marcus, on the other hand, is seventeen throughout the whole book. They have a big age difference, but in my mind, I think Ender is the older one, and Marcus is the younger one. Both boys are pretty smart, but I believe Ender is smarter. Ender was a commander at heart and he took everyone’s feelings and actions to mind and helped everyone get their assigned job done. He guided them and he thought everything through and even if he didn’t, he’d make it work. Marcus doesn’t look at the big picture and he does what he deems to be right. Only when he hears what is happening to other people does he finally realize that he did might not have been the best idea. They are both very smart with technology tough and can hack into systems and create new systems. Their families are different too. Marcus’s parents are actually a part of the book. They talk to him and help him and sometimes they get in his way and are stupid. Marcus’s dad wasn’t the best guy, I personally don’t like him for siding with the government and then he kept switching sides. I liked Marcus’s mom because she was with him the whole time and always believed him. Ender’s parents aren’t mentioned very much throughout the book. Only in the beginning and occasionally, but they don’t have much business with Ender. Ender also is better with his friends. He never lost any friends, he only made them. He did have enemies, but they weren’t his friends at first. Marcus, however, almost lost all of his friends. He did make more, but he lost Daryll and Van and he almost lost Joyl at first. He eventually finds Daryll though.

And that was my twelfth blog. The end!

Hmmm...looks like only one more blog to do after this

Little Brother
                I think that Marcus should stop jamming people. He should stop with the muddling the systems. Marcus personally got messages from kids who were caught and got into trouble and were almost questioned. Other people were also with proving that other people who are completely innocent also had to go through questioning. I think he should stop. It’s one thing for it to affect you and another for it to affect other people. All he thinks about is himself, but he sometimes he doesn’t, but he doesn’t look at the big picture and he really should.

Both Books
                I haven’t done a comparison on both books for a little bit. I’ll start with the technology. The technology in the books is almost similar, but not quite. The technology in Little Brother is more modern and more about tracking people. In Ender’s Game, it’s way more advanced and everything is advanced, not just a couple things. The spaceships and the actual school in space is really advanced and it hasn’t been done in Little Brother. They both had things that identified you. Little Brother had the Fastpass thing and Ender’s Game used scans and voice locked things. Now the girls issue. There are some girls, but they don’t play many important parts. Valentine and Petra are some of the only girls mentioned in Ender’s Game. Valentine is Ender’s sister and Petra is one of Ender’s closest friends. One of Marcus’s best friends is Van and she’s a girl too.

(Ender's Game = done. Little Brother = not yet...on chapter 9? i'm not really sure...reading on a computer stinks)
Little Brother
          I feel bad for Marcus's dad. I'm glad that he said sorry to Marcus though. It wasn't right of him to side with the government. At least he knows the truth now and isn't left in the dark. I think the girl who was winding up Marcus's character was the girl that  was mentioned back in the beginning of the book. He got a bad vibe from that girl too. When the newspaper came out, Marcus finally realizes that Van was right. The more he fought, the more the government was going to fight back. If he continues sabotaging tracking devices and confusing them, he is going to endanger every person in San Fransisco. So Marcus isn't as stupid as he looks. He does get it eventually.I take back what I said about his dad. His dad is very VERY stupid. He thinks that the Bill of Rights should apply to them anymore. But we do need it! We the people need our privacy and freedom. We fought wars, hunger, thirst, depressions in the economy, and etc. The Bill of Rights was for us to know that we had our own personal freedom. It's important to us. Without it, we'd be shambles. We can't be in shambles because then every person in the U.S. would be in jeopardy for their lives. The same would happen if the government took over.
