Faith??

    In the book, Shiver by Maggie Steifvater is a book about how this girl named grace was attacked by wolves, but can't remember the look of yellow eyes. Now she comes across this boy who has the same yellow eyes, but hurt and a human. she takes him in withou much doubting. I feel that she must really have a strong connection with him because she took Sam, the werewolf, in knowing it was the wolf she was waiting for all these years. it may be wierd that when Sam got shot, to turn into a human, and Grace find him. it could be faith or just a coincidence.

      It may have just been the fact that Grace is so attracted to Sam so much that she was able to find him and rescue him. I believe this because she shad stopped the shooting of the wolves inorder to not kill this wolve that didn't kill her when the wolves had attacked. Those were the eyes that stayed within her for a very long time. Without those eyes she wouldn't have recognized him when not a werewolf. Now she has this trong bond with him that can't be explained.
    
    The bond that grace has with Sam is something undescribeble. they bond evn though not knowng anything about eachother. Though one thing that I guess bonds them together is the fact that Grace was bitten and did not turn into a werewolf. They both know what is it like to be attacked and have experienced it. We know when a person is the right person because we feel it inside.

$$$$- What Does it Mean to You? (World On Fire)

          As I reading the lyrics of "World On Fire" I thought it was about this song writer who was writing about a heartbreak that can also happen to many people in the world. I realized as I was watching the video that It was about how poverty is all around the world. Also we can make a difference in the world. If a singer could do it by giving up thousands of dollars on a single music videos; she gavr the miney to people who need it for food and shelter. I see many people on the street homeless and lonely. The main point is that we are what we have gave with a loving heart.
          In the video many people are scarcely making any money,but there are people in the world that spend money knowing that they are going to get in return double or triple what they gave; so it would be like to them throwing a penny. A line that relates back to this idea is A fortune of one that means less for some. This line relates back to this topic because many people are in need of money, mean while other people waste it around, by throwing it around in unecessary items. such as really fancy clothing that they don't need. Other people need the money for a good meal everyday and good clothing to survive for a good period of time.
         In my life I see many poor people walking around pulling carts of cans in order to gain a couple of dollars. Then I go and see TV, and see how the celebrities spend millions of dollars on one tiny house, that is probably a bit bigger than the own apartment I live in. Why couldn't they have bought houses or shelters for people n need of shelter. Many people need it more than I do.They shouldn't br so selfish; they also should look around them and see how many people live in very poor conditions.Many people waste money for pleasure when for some people it is a necessity.

We Are On the Outside What We Have Experienced.

       In the book Honey, Baby Sweetheart, by Deb Caletti, the main character Ruby McQueen used to be this outstanding girl, but after tiny incidents she has changed her personality from the outside, but not the inside. We change on the outside because of tiny embarrassing moments because we are afraid to be somebody that other people that surround us every day laugh at. Meaning we are controlled and afraid of who we are known as.
    The main character has changed from outstanding to brave because of sitting on a doughnut pillow in class that looks like a bathroom seat or because she has fallen down. She has been transformed into a quiet girl. I feel that we shouldn't change who we are because of small dumb moments like this. We all make mistakes, but we should just eventually forget about them because they can happen all the time. I know definitely that I have had many embarrassing moments such as falling down, or getting a really low grade on a test(which doesn't happen too often), but I eventually move beyond them because the only thing I can do is learn from them rather then take them personally.
    Ruby McQueen has changed from these moments to this shy girl, but really on the inside is a strong and powerful adolescent. For example, in the book this boy named Travis told her to hop on to his motorcycle, she did. He was riding at a really high speed, but she didn' panic. she just went along with it. This shows that even though they may look weak on the outside it doesn't necessarily mean that they are weak on the inside either. she was pretty strong in the inside. She actually had the courage to go the motorcycle and ride at a high speed without panicking.
     I can relate this back to my own life because many people are really weak on the outside, though not literally, but are really strong in specific area. such as education. Also though there are many people who are really outgoing on the outside, but in the inside they aren't even sure of who they are. they just go along with what other people are doing. I guess many people aren't leaders, but they are followers. We should know how to lead and set example ourselves.
