What does the work tell us about how people behave...

As i am reading my love story of Sarah and Miles i really see what its like to fall in love. Miles is a very well rounded person doing all he can to keep Sarah happy. He is a gentleman with a kind heart.As i am reading i can only picture how cute some of his lines would mean to impress a girl, Sarah in this case. Also the things he does to show her he really does care. Sarah is also a very sweet loving character( the type of girl i hope to be) always caring about Jonah and the time spent with Miles. Not all relationships are like this one I'm reading now, but it put into perspective how people should act when in a relationship. Being happy and always caring makes a relationship work. I am more than excited to see what happens next between Sarah and Miles.

The best thing about my book is...

As i am still reading A Bend in the Road by Nicholas Sparks i am really liking its story. For the story to be so real, something that could happen to anyone in real life, makes the story 10 times more interesting. Through having someone you really loved been killed, I'm sure has happened to many people before including myself. The love story behind it also I'm sure has happened to many people. Being too scared to start something new with someone else when your wife, your mother to your kid has passed away. As Miles is now going on multiple dates and dinners with Sarah their relationship has really grown. Jonah now sees that Miles is starting to like Sarah and tells Miles he is okay with him going on dates with Miss Andrews (His teacher).As the story goes on I'm curious to see how their relationship moves on, how Jonah is doing with it, and if Miles is still doing okay with inviting another women in his life and in Jonahs as well.

Characters change since being introduced...

Since Miles was first introduced he has gone through a major change in how he feels about moving on from his wife, to carry on his life with Jonah. For a long time Miles has had a hard time moving on from the accedient that happend to his wife. He now feels like moving on would be best for him and Jonah. Miles feels like having a wife, a mother to help with Jonah will help out alot with Jonah and his learning. Jonah has had a hard time lately in school and Miles is having a hard time on his own trying to help him. Jonahs teacher Sarah has been helping Miles with Jonah and Miles and Sarah are beginning to see something in eachother. This spark with Sarah has been whats helping Miles move on and try starting someting new with another woman.

Characters main conflict in the novel and how they deal with it...

Miles Ryan, the main character in this novel has just introduced the main conflict of what Ive read so far. His conflict consists of his wife, Missy dying in a hit-and-run accident two years ago and having to be an only parent to his young son Jonah. He has been trying to be the best father that he can be to Jonah but being the only one has been a real struggle for Miles. Miles thinks that if he trys to bring a woman into Jonahs life Jonah and himself will live more happily together. For Jonah not to have a mom is something Miles does not like to have. Miles actions so far to this conflict have shown how good of a person he is. He does everything on is own and still manages to father his son. He is very interested in finding someone to share his life with after a very long recovery to what had happened to his wife, and has already started this with a girl named Sarah Andrews.

A Bend in the Road

I chose to read A Bend in the Road by Nicholas Sparks. Nicholas Sparks is know to write great books.
Many of his books relate around a love story. I am the type of person who is interested in reading love story type books. Many of his books have a good story behind them, some even have slight twists to engage you more in the book you are reading. I feel like i am going to enjoy reading this book. Hopefully it will inspire me to read more of his books in the future.

Fahrenheit 451 Theme

A theme that relates to Fahrenheit 451 includes: In the wrong hands, technology can be dangerous. This is shown very well in the first section of this book. Most of the ways technology is used has many ways of being dangerous. One way this is shown is on page 17, this says,"Maybe you took two pills and forgot and took two more, and forgot again and took two more, and were so dopey you kept right on until you had thirty or forty of them in you." This specific quote shows how having the ability to keep pills on you can be very dangerous. People can make bad decisions being able to have them and use them for the wrong purpose. In the book this quote is relating to Mildred and how taking so many pills can be dangerous and even lead to death. Through out the course of the entire book we are going to see many more examples that have to do with this specific theme and a few others.

Blogger Reflection

Blogger Reflection Assignment

http://samiharrissreadingblog.blogspot.com/2013/11/marylins-divorced-parents.html

In my opinion the blog post I completed on Monday, November 4, 2013 titled Marylin’s Divorced Parents was my best blog post this trimester. I feel like this because I took what the characters in my book are going through and related it to something in real life such as having divorced parents. After relating them to each other I took the reasons why they are similar situations and told why I understood what they are going through. My example included the fact that I have 2 half older siblings that had to go through the exact same thing so I have seen the things they have to do because their parents are divorced. In my book this example goes to Marylin and her younger brother Petey with having divorced parents.

Moving on to English 1B I have many goals for myself. Some of my goals include making sure I get all posts done the week they are supposed to get done as well as the comments we are supposed to be keeping track of. Another goal I have for myself is going to be making sure I read more often so making blog posts will be easier to do and I won’t spend too much time on the reading as I would coming up with good blog posts. A goal I have for myself in the writing part of my blogs would be to go more in depth in what my blog posts are about and what I am trying to say about my book. Having a more in depth blogger will make my English reading and writing more efficient. I hope to peruse these goals as well as areas of improvement for my next trimester in English.
