<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: center;">
<u><span style="font-family: "Edwardian Script ITC"; font-size: 36pt; line-height: 115%;">Sadness
in Final Thoughts<o:p></o:p></span></u></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Well, it’s been a long 6 months using this blog and
a long 3 months using my twitter. I didn’t think I would enjoy it as much as I
did but I will truly miss connecting with the class as much as I have been over
the course time of this class. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Choosing a favorite assignment is truly a difficult
thing. Although, I do have a few favorites such as: Newspaper blackout poetry,
Twitter fiction & The Buried Life project. I have different reasons for
loving each one. Newspaper blackout poetry was an amazing thing. The beginning
was hard because all you were doing was searching for words in an article,
which is the equivalent of searching for a needle in a haystack. But once the
words began to come together and you began to blackout others, the article
transformed into something completely original, which was the part I loved.
Twitter fiction, now that’s something I thought I would dislike from the
beginning but it sure surprised me. I love writing stories but the challenge
was that you had to do it over twitter which only gives you 140 characters at a
time. On top of that I had never liked twitter and saw no purpose in it at all.
When the stories began to come together, my mind began to change and I began to
love the challenge of it. Some of my stories came out beautifully and I truly
was happy. The TBL project was amazing all on its own. It was such a personal
project and I loved being able to dig down deep within myself and try to find
all my hearts desires. It for sure was a process but I was happy with the
result. I also now have a Bucket list to change and finish for the rest of my
life! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">To be honest, I don’t think I truly hated any of our
assignments. Sure there we’re some that I didn’t think I would like at all, but
I began to love every single one in their own way while I was completing them.
It’s crazy to think of how many ways there are to be creative and this class
brought out many of them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Friday reading I’ve always looked forward to. I’m an
avid reader; I read probably 100 books per year (if you count rereading stories
as well). I read all the time at home and during any spare time I can find. It’s
always been something I’ve enjoyed so being able to read for class truly made
me happy. It gives teenagers a break on Fridays to not have to do work and it
generally put me in a good mood for the rest of the day. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I think the only part that became a hassle
throughout the course was the Reading reflections. I generally read to escape
reality and if it’s truly a book I love, it pulls me completely into the story
as if I’m there. The problem with doing these reflections was we had to analyze
the book, ask questions, make comments and make predictions. It took me away
from the story and I found I didn’t enjoy reading as much when I had to keep
leaving the story to analyze it. It took away from the joy of reading. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The writing reader’s notebook started out pretty
well, but when you have a blog to write in all of your thoughts, why writes it
in a notebook? At the beginning of the year it had a purpose in getting us
going on the course, but soon after that it just got put to the side. It became
something solely used for notes in class and that was it. In the end it just
became useless which is kind of sad. It proves that we use technology for
writing way more than we use an actual paper and pen. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I LOVED the blogging. Blogging is something
teenagers generally use; twitter, tumblr, Facebook, an actual blog, etc. So the
fact that we got to use it for a class was very appealing. I loved being able
to personalize it and make it represent me. Sure you had to post assignments on
it, but you also got to do personal additions, which had to be my favorite
part. You could write a story, a poem, put up your favorite song, anything that
shows who you are. It was kind of liberating in its own way. Watching your hits
go up and seeing that people actually took the time to go to your blog and read
what you read or listen to your favorite song made me happy. Blogging was for
sure an awesome idea for keeping track of assignments. It gave something to the
teacher and the students. I think I will be keeping my blog even after the
course is finished. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Twitter was a surprise. I’ve never been interested
in twitter at all. I actually thought the purpose of twitter was actually it
was actually pretty pointless since we have facebook. It’s snuck up on me
though. It makes it seem as if it’s easier to communicate with your peers. You
can retweet what they said or tweet at them to give comments, suggestions, or
just to talk. It can be frustrating that you can only do 140 characters at a
time but surprisingly you get used to it. I encourage people to use it for
class. You can communicate with your teacher and peers very quickly. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The integration of technology into this course was a
phenomenal idea. These days, everyone depends on technology. You can always
have access to a computer; phones are glued to people’s hands, the internet is
growing immensely every day, etc. So why not embrace it. You will never be able
to stop teenagers or even kids from texting in class. They will always find a
way to hide it or get around it. So why not use those phones to further their
education in the class? It’s something that is inevitable for the future. It
was also very intelligent to use programs that teenagers love to use already;
twitter, blogging, photo editing sites, etc. Students will be more motivated to
do the work with familiar programs, especially if they use them quite often
just for fun. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I learnt so much about myself as a creator in
general. For my writing, I learnt that it can never be forced. I can’t just sit
down and make myself write something, it tends to turn out terrible. The
inspiration has to be there for me to create something magnificent. It’s truly
as if the story writes itself. I also learnt that my writing will always
include love; whether it’s heartbreak or true love. My obsession of romance has
yet to die. Also, I can write short stories, I’m generally not a short story
writer, I love writing long stories but knowing I can do short is an
accomplishment. As a reader, I can never dissect a book. For me to be able to
enjoy the book, I let it take me to where ever it takes place, and I live the
story with the characters. I can’t leave that place and try to ask questions
and make predictions or it ruins the story for me. It also takes away from the
story. Just enjoy the reading. As a creator, I love to watch transformations. I
love being able to take one thing and change it to create another. Even with
pictures; I love to edit them to make the colors brighter, to change the view
of the photo, to make people see the subject as I see it. It’s the same thing
with the Newspaper blackout poetry; you take a newspaper article and change it
into something completely your own, everything about the article has changed. The
transformations are amazing and for sure my new favorite thing to see. This
course has challenged me and helped me begin making my own creations. I’m so
glad I took it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Mrs. McLauchlan, thank you so much for making this
course so unique. I’ve never enjoyed a class more than this. The technology
aspect really was an awesome idea and you really should convince more teachers
to incorporate it into their classes. I don’t think I have anything to
criticize you for because I didn’t have any problems in your class at all. Maybe
don’t continue with the notebooks because aside from notes, we haven’t opened
them since the beginning of the year. I’m sure it’s not easy taking care of
more than 25 blogs at a time but it’s such an awesome part of the class and I
encourage you to keep doing them. I loved every single project so feel free to
keep those as well (: Even if I am the only one who enjoyed them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">My advice for future Creative writing students is to
just be open-minded. Some of these assignments you may think that you will hate
but once you actually do them, you may learn to love them. I thought I wouldn’t
like twitter at all and now I’m on it at least once a day. There are so many
amazing things that happen in this class and so much creativity. Just stay open-minded
to the assignments, to others comments and critiques and to your own
creativity. If you do all of this, I’m sure you will love this class as much as
I did. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Edwardian Script ITC"; font-size: 48pt; line-height: 115%;"><u>Now
What?<o:p></o:p></u></span></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Now
that I’ve made my list I question, well now what? Now it is time to begin to
complete this list. Number fourteen on my list is to get a tattoo. Well, in May
of this year, I’ll get my chance! My family is a strange bunch, about 5 years
ago, my grandma got a butterfly tattoo on her shoulder and has wanted to go
back to get a second tattoo ever since. When I told my grandma that when I was
old enough, I would get a tattoo as well, she decided that she was going to
wait so that she could go with me. Now I also have another companion joining
us. My mother was going to get a tattoo for her 40<sup>th</sup> birthday, but
couldn’t decide what to get and chickened out, this was almost three years ago.
Because of this fact, we are now making this a family event and my mother,
grandmother and I are all going to get tattoos for my birthday! (Well also for
my mother’s birthday because it is two days before mine) Getting a tattoo isn’t
as easy as some people may think, whatever you decide to get will be on your
skin forever unless you decide to spend the money to get it removed later on in
life. It’s taken me years to decide. One piece of my childhood that I’ve yet to
give up is Walt Disney movies. They’ve always took me away from reality and
made me believe that even when things get bumpy, they will find a way of
working themselves out in the end. Things will work out the way they are meant
to be. Disney movies make you believe in yourself, in love, in your dreams and
in everything good. Therefor because of this, I’ve decided to get one that
represented Disney as a whole. Now that may sound easy but it really isn’t. There
are TONS of Walt Disney movies and they all have such a great message. Finally,
I came across a movie called The Robinsons. Now I didn’t think I would like it,
it isn’t necessarily a classic but after I finally finished watching it, I
loved it. This little boy, when he had lost all his belief, conquered the odds
and saved his family, his future and more. His motto was <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">“Keep Moving Forward”.</b> At the end of the movie, it ended with words
on a black background. It read: <o:p></o:p></span></div>

doors and doing new things… and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.”</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"> </span><span style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span></h3>

Disney movie, every lesson learnt, I owe to that man, so why not dedicate my
tattoo to him. My tattoo will be the Disney castle, with the words “Keep Moving
Forward” underneath. It will most likely be on my back. It will remind me that
through all the hard times, we just need to keep moving forward. <o:p></o:p></span></span></em></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">The
question pops up everywhere. What would you do if you had one day left to live?
There are so many answers and so many dreams left unfulfilled. When this
question was asked, I pondered on it. There are so many things in the world to
do, to see and to learn. So why not make a goal; a list of things to accomplish
before you die. Nothing is impossible. This list may seem as if it’s easy to
create but it’s not. It makes you think of everything you want to accomplish,
your curiosities, the things you wish you could do. These lists could go on
forever. I created one of these lists. During that process, I had to dig down
deep inside myself and ask myself so many questions. There are so many things
to see in the world, so many different cultures and so much history. There were
many things on my list that involved traveling so I could learn and relive that
history. I had to ask myself, what about hobbies? Why can’t I paint or knit or
know five languages? Why not learn? When you make your own lists, you’ll have
to ask yourself these types of questions. What are your hearts true desires?
What do you wonder? What can you do to help the world? This is my list. 101
things I want to do, to see and to learn. I also made a video of a couple of my
list items to make it visually appealing. It has a joyous tone to it, to remind
myself that I’m attempting to accomplish my dreams. Maybe it will give you some
inspiration, help you create your own list, make you think. When it comes to
being human, you only have this one life to live. You are only a single blip in
time, so why not make your life memorable: not only to everyone else… but to
yourself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<!-- start of lyrics -->Some nights I stay up cashing in my bad luck<br />Some nights I call it a draw<br />Some nights I wish that my lips could build a castle<br />Some nights I wish they'd just fall off<br /><br />But I still wake up, I still see your ghost<br />Oh, Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for oh<br />What do I stand for? What do I stand for?<br />Most nights I don't know anymore...<br />Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh,<br />Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh<br /><br />This is it, boys, this is war - what are we waiting for?<br />Why don't we break the rules already?<br />I was never one to believe the hype<br />Save that for the black and white<br />I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked,<br />But here they come again to jack my style<br /><br />That's alright;<br />I found a martyr in my bed tonight<br />She stops my bones from wondering just who I am, who I am, who I am<br />Oh, who am I? Mmm... Mmm...<br /><br />Well, some nights I wish that this all would end<br />'Cause I could use some friends for a change.<br />And some nights I'm scared you'll forget me again<br />Some nights I always win, I always win...<br /><br />But I still wake up, I still see your ghost<br />Oh, Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh<br />What do I stand for? What do I stand for?<br />Most nights I don't know... (oh, come on)<br /><br />So this is it. I sold my soul for this?<br />Washed my hands of that for this?<br />I miss my mom and dad for this?<br /><br />(Come on)<br /><br />No. When I see stars, when I see, when I see stars, that's all they are<br />When I hear songs, they sound like this one, so come on.<br />Oh, come on. Oh, come on. Oh, come on!<br /><br />Well, that is it guys, that is all - five minutes in and I'm bored again<br />Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands<br />This one is not for the folks at home;<br />Sorry to leave, mom, I had to go<br />Who the fuck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?<br /><br />My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she call "love"<br />When I look into my nephew's eyes...<br />Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from...<br />Some terrible lies... ah...<br /><br />Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh,<br />Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh<br /><br />The other night you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me<br />I called you up but we'd both agree<br /><br />It's for the best you didn't listen<br />It's for the best we get our distance...

Graduation is just around the corner... And with my Grad pictures being taken last week and my Grad ring FINALLY coming in, I thought I should show you all it's beauty. For anyone who loves it and wants to get their own, go to <a href="http://www.jostens.com/">www.jostens.com</a> and design your own!! This ring was only 197.06$ with tax, it was originally 160$. You can order online at anytime! This is one of the cheapest you can get for a memory you can keep forever! (for ladies rings, sorry gents!)</div>

This was made before I ordered my ring so I knew what it would look like. Under school name it says College Sturgeon Heights Collegaite and it has the Husky symbol on the first side. I love it!! </div>

I've learnt so much from these movies and grown up watching them. They will always be a part of my childhood that I will never give up. Disney has made so many quotes to help people move forward in life; Hakuna Matata for example means no worries, A dream is a wish your heart makes, never grow up, Remember who you are, etc. Disney has always been a place where dreams come true for people. I finally made the decision to go with the quote "Keep moving forward" from the Robinsons. It was a quote made from the actual man Walt Disney. It's like a philosophy for life, keep moving forward, through the good and the bad. This has now become my philosophy. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This will be close to what I get except smaller and Mickey and Minnie will just be outlined or the disney castle will be above the quote. It will be around the same position except higher and I havent decided exactly where to put it on the top of my back. I find it's so important to remind yourself and others to keep moving forward.</div>

The Nutcracker Ballet</h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This ballet is one of my favorites, I only have one other. I haven't seen it since I was probably 8 years old and I'm excited to be seeing it again this season. I've always loved the music and dance that go with it and I'm excited to see the directors own personal view on how the ballet should look. It's always done slightly differently. I recommend going if you get the chance!</div>

Writing twitter fiction was an interesting experience. It for sure brought a
new perspective to some of my writing. I found that writing the shorter stories
wasn’t as difficult as I thought beforehand; I am a person who generally writes
longer stories, essays, etc., but I needed a challenge. Therefore I found that
to be a real success of mine when they actually turned out the way I wanted them
to. Also some of my imagery came out way better than I had previously thought
they would be and I was very proud of that success. I had a couple frustrations
for sure, such as trying to keep some character dialogue in the story with the
proper punctuation but still keep it under the 140 character limit, especially
when it was the VSS stories. Another one was attempting to write when the
inspiration was just not there. There were a couple stories I didn’t like just
because I had written them so I had done something that day. I learnt that the
story truly writes itself and if that story isn’t in my head, I can’t force
myself to try to write it. I’ll always end up redoing it because I don’t like
how it turns out. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

I read Alina Simone’s Twitter fiction. The story was called Anatomy of a Break
Up. She wrote a story about a man who thought he was in love but realized he
needed to find himself first. It’s true what they say, “You need to love
yourself before you can love another”. I also read it because let’s face it,
there was a bit of romance in it and I can never resist that. It felt strange
to be reading twitter and not realize you we’re actually on twitter, if that
makes any sense. If the author does it right, they can bring you right into the
story and can make you forget you’re even reading a twitter feed. Alina Simone
accomplished this for me. The only thing that surprised me was the amount of

It had me really loving his character.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

assignment did change my perspective on twitter but only by a little, I still
don’t generally like it. My opinion is that it’s tolerable now and that it does
have some good use for it. The twitter fiction is probably one of the only
things I like about it, it would be one reason to keep my twitter; to continue
writing and reading others writing. I don’t much get the point of using it
besides that, it’s just another facebook with fewer words. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The only other use I would have personally for
twitter would be to keep tabs on my favorite authors and bands, just to see
what their newest projects are or when something new is coming out from them. <u><o:p></o:p></u></span></div>

<br />This is a song I used to listen to many times. Its meaning is that music can heal the soul, and in this song she wants to heal this boys soul and his torment. Music can accomplish anything and I'm so glad it's such a big part of my life. I wouldn't be able to go far without it for sure. </div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">My
twitter fiction of course won’t be done until I actually post them. Even as I’m
typing them on the computer I’m editing them so they are below 140 characters,
or extending them so they can be put onto more than one tweet. I’ve written for
sure over 30 tweets but I’m not entirely sure if I will use them all. I’ve
written about 36 as of late. I chose to write some VSS but also some in
between. Some of my stories are 7 tweets long while others are one, two or
three. They change dramatically when I type them on the computer because I have
to edit them to 140 characters. When you’re writing them down on paper, you
aren’t counting as you go so it makes it a bit more difficult for you to get
the exact affect you want your story to have. It takes time. I chose to use
both because I wanted to be able to show more than one type of story. It gave
me the freedom to be able to make them however long as I wanted them to be.
Sometimes the stories just wrote themselves. Some things I still have to add
into my stories are more tweets for dialogue and double check to make sure I
have every type of imagery even though I’m sure I have them all. I love the
challenge of having to have all these different elements in these little
stories. It makes them trickier to write but also more fun. I’ve thought of
some images for specific stories but not for others. They may change as I edit
them or I may add different images than I thought I was going to put in in the
first place. You’ll have to wait to find out exactly what I have planned. My
stories have come out a lot better than I thought they we’re going to be
originally. My imagery has been working well and I’ve been surprisingly good at
sneaking it in here and there. My character development has also worked to my
advantage in one of my stories. These we’re aspects that I originally thought
we’re going to be the most difficult. The aspect that needs the most work is
making them 140. I’ve always been one to write too much, so shortening my
stories has for sure been a challenge, but it has been a fun one. I’m still
wondering how we are going to end up putting them up and in what fashion but I’m
sure it will be an interesting experience. Creative writing has never failed me
when it comes to being interesting. This has been a learning experience for me
and I’m truly enjoying it. </span></div>

Who's excited for this as much as I am!!!! It comes out in two weeks people, on the 16th of November!! I've been watching the movies since the beginning and I read all the books before the first movie came out. I wasn't that impressed about the first movie but I must admit they've gotten better and better with every movie that has been made. What's your favorite Twlight Saga moment? Let me know (: Any other comments or questions are welcome! Go Twilight <3</div>

Newspaper black out poetry was actually one of my favorite assignments from
this class. It was an interesting was of writing and the transformations we’re
amazing. How these regular everyday articles we’re able to be transformed into
whatever the writer wanted it to be was spectacular. Some challenges I had was
connecting my whole poem together. I would be able to write the beginning and
then the ending but then I would need to add something into the middle that
connected it all together. That was a big challenge in some of my poems. Also,
trying to get one started was difficult. I was never able to just go to the
next article in the paper and write a poem from that. I would need inspiration from
some of the very first words to make it work. My succeses we’re getting my
beginnings and endings right off the hop. I always loved what I found for all
three of my poems and they all tended to work out in the end. I never had to
use a single letter from one word and then another letter from a different
word. My words we’re generally whole. That was a success of mine. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">What’s
unique about this writing is that you can’t just add a word when you need it.
You must find it in the articles words. It was frustrating at times when you
had a perfect sentence in your head and then had to change it because it wasn’t
in the article. It’s also very creative because to be able to take an article,
read it and make it something completely your own is amazing. That was a factor
I loved. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I
learned that as a writer, you can create something that’s your own practically
out of anything. Writing comes in all shapes and forms. I also learned that I’m
a lot more creative than I thought was but I love new challenges. I wonder what
would happen if you tried doing this blackout poetry in a book or even tried to
make another novel out of a novel. That would be something interesting to see. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">This
book was a very good one, I’d say even better than the last so I’m hoping as I
continue this series it will get even more intense and suspenseful. It’s as if
it cut off one part of the story until the next part was done. In my opinion it
was separated into three parts. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Some
questions that I have resemble my last response questions. Like who killed
Lafayette?! It literally drove me crazy that she let that mystery stew until
the end of the book when it was finally answered, even though he was killed
literally in the 20 pages. It ended up being some of the towns folk who we’re a
little bit too…exhilarated in their activities? It was a surprising turn of
events for sure. Another question I had was why was Eric so willing to help
Sookie? Of course we know why Bill does, because he loves her, but Eric doesn’t
seem capable of that type of emotion. He seems more to be a slave to his lust
than anything. I’m hoping to get a better read on his character in the books to
follow. It’s a curiosity of mine.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">This
book ended up being slightly predictable, which was sometimes a good
thing,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>other times not so much. We all
knew that Sookie going to the fellowship was a bad idea and that she was going
to be captured, then rescued. This is how many books turn out. Obviously with
this being a series, they can’t have something really bad happen to Sookie now
can they? They obviously can’t kill off the main character in the second book. I
however did not see this sex club to be made up of just humans. Of course there
are some people who are sick in the mind and get carried away with their own
sexual adventures but I still suspected there would be a vampire among the
group. It took me by surprise. Shows that maybe I’m pretty prejudice. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I’m
commenting on the growth of Eric and Bills characters. Eric has begun to grow
on me I must admit, with him helping Sookie and actually going to Dallas to
protect what’s his, it shows he still carries some emotion from his human
years. Bill is also getting more depth to him. You get to see into more of his
past at the end of the book and also his feelings on being a vampire in Dallas.
He craves his own kind. That’s something Sookie will have to deal with on her
own. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I’m
making a text to television connection. This is something I have yet to do. The
character of Eric really reminds me of Damon Salvatore from the Vampire
Diaries. At the beginning of the show, Damon was void of emotion. He was a bad
boy and didn’t care about anything. Eric is shown the same way. But as the show
and the book progress, both characters begin to show some emotion and appear
more human at times. Also, both Elena and Sookie seem to have a weak side for
bad boys.</span></div>

But love can be so irrevocably blind. Abusive realtionships can be of two descents; <span style="font-size: large;"><strong>emotional & physical</strong></span>. Some believe that physical is the worst, but emotional is just as <span style="font-size: large;"><strong>scarring</strong></span> as the physical. People no longer listen to the ones they love. They are so <span style="font-size: large;"><strong>wrapped up</strong></span> in the other person. <span style="font-size: large;"><em><strong>"The first cut is the deepest",</strong></em></span> many people believe this, it has even been used in songs. I believe in this as well. It's one of the hardest things to do, to either break up with your first love or to be let go by your first love. Especially if they are considered more than one first. Comfort can also be a factor in this. If you have been with this significant other for a long period of time, it makes things even harder because you are so <span style="font-size: large;"><strong>comfortable</strong></span> in their presence. Your lives are so tied together, in friends, family, and schedules. Something that people need to consider is, is it truly <span style="font-size: large;"><strong>worth it</strong></span>? If this person is no longer putting in the <span style="font-size: large;"><strong>effort</strong></span> you need or giving you the <span style="font-size: large;"><strong>attention</strong></span> you need, why stick around because of the comfort? I've heard that <span style="font-size: large;"><em><strong>"It's not that easy",</strong></em></span> but it truly is. It gives you the chance to find <span style="font-size: large;"><strong>happiness</strong></span> with someone else who will take the time to appreciate you. <span style="font-size: large;"><strong>No one deserves</strong></span> emotional abuse, it will <span style="font-size: large;"><strong>damage you</strong></span> emotionally and can seriously kill your self-esteem. It will make you think that you don't deserve better or that you won't find better and that is never true. So ladies, truly think about whether these types of guys are for you. Take the time to find a man who will always <span style="font-size: large;"><strong>appreciate you</strong></span> and not give up when he knows you'll never leave. <span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Every woman</strong></span> deserves so much better. <br />

"Better to have lost and loved than never to have loved at all."</h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
– Hemingway</h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I believe this to be true. Would anyone rather not risk their heart for love? Yes it can be broken, but it can be mended. Love is one of the most powerful things on this earth. We as human beings need to cherish this treasure when we find it. Personally, I would risk everything for love. For that companionship, loyalty, belonging and trust. Where would we be as humans without love? Not even just romantic love, but family love and friendship love. We all need some sort of love to continue on. When you find true love, it will never fail you. xoxo</div>

<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">I’ve just recently started this
book. It’s the next of the True Blood series and it’s going pretty well. I’ve
even had to take it into my band class because I just couldn’t put it down.
I’ve had quite a few questions, but only some are main questions that refer
mostly to the entire book and won’t be answered until the end.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">My very first question was who
killed Lafayette? It happened in the beginning of the story and it has yet to
be answered. I actually for once have no ideas on who it could be. He wasn’t
completely associated with vampires so I’m for once clueless. I hope to have
this answered soon. I also wondered was a maenad was and what she wanted with
Eric? Maenads are a creature of Greek mythology and were the female followers
of Dionysus and members of the god’s retinue. They have been known through
myths to devour men and children in frenzy. I have yet to find out what she
wanted from Eric, but hopefully this will also be answered. I wondered what
they wanted Sookie for in Texas and this was answered quickly. They needed a
mind reader to help them find their “brother” Farrell who had disappeared from
the “nest”. The fellowship intrigues me. I’ve often wondered through the story
why they have such a strong hatred for vampires and why they would go to such
extremes to have them killed. I can’t pretend I’m able to think like a fanatic
so I’m hoping a character will shed some light for me. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">This book isn’t as easy to
predict as the first one, though the big scenes have been the most predictable.
In the middle of this story, Sookie and Hugo, both vampire lovers, are
masquerading as boyfriend and girlfriend so they may enter the fellowship.
Before they even entered, Sookie was having thoughts of how she didn’t trust
Hugo very much. This should have set off an alarm in Sookie’s head. The author
showed lots of foreshadowing before this scene. Every time Sookie read Hugo’s
mind, it only projected one thing, confidence or arrogance or distaste for
Sookie. This made it obvious that he was a traitor and not to be trusted. It
almost got Sookie killed. A Lesson from this would be to always trust your
instincts from the beginning. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">I must continue to comment on the
growth of Sookie’s character. The amount of hardship she is willing to endure
is incredible. Through the being poisoned by the maenad, to using her mind
reading power to help out the unknown vampires, to almost being killed in the basement
of the fellowship. I didn’t like her at the beginning for sure, she seemed too innocent,
but she has grown for sure and so has my opinion of her. I’d also like to
comment on the author’s creation of the fellowship. Did she ever have me freaked
out by these characters, even when they were all smiles. I think that makes
them even more eerie. They for sure gave me the chills during my reading. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">I didn’t make many connections,
but one I did make was the fellowship. In every single vampire book you will
ever read, there are always some sort of group that is out to destroy them. For
example in the Carpathian series, it’s an entire family that hunts them. They
even kill them in the traditional way of beheading, using garlic and a stake
through the heart. The fellowship reminded me of these other factions and they
both have the same eerie level. </span></div>
