Sooo I dissed that book and went back to an old one New Moon (if you couldn't tell by the title). Yes this is one of the Twilight series books. I have seen & own all of the Twilight movies but I never got around to reading them. I know!! I broke my own rule. Anyway, I wanted to talk about the figurative language in it. This book has a lot of imagery when she describes her dream at the beginning. "I stared at myself, looking for some sign of impending wrinkles in my ivory skin. The only creases were the ones on my forehead, though, I knew that if I could manage to relax, they would disappear." (Meyer 7) I think this line shows great imagery in how she describes herself and her grandma reflection. Thats all for this week! Have a great day! :)

Book Talk: New Moon/Bernadette/Lovely Bones
Hi! Today's going to be a little different. I know that I've been talking about The Lovely Bones a lot in the past few weeks and I know it hasnt been that interesting but to be honest, not much has happened in my book and I got bored with it. On April 23rd I won a book called Where'd You Go, Bernadette? and I didnt like the way it was written. It was written in lettera, emails and only a little bit of normal book stuff, yanno? I don't know if you've ever read a book like that but I don't like it that much. Thanks to Maddie, I didnt get the book I really wanted, The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I absoloutely LOVE that book and Maddie took it! Thanks Maddie, if you're reading this..

Lovely Bones & Charlie St. Cloud
BAM! YOUR BROTHER/SISTER IS DEAD! What do you do? Well there's really nothing you can do. In my book,The Lovely Bones, It reminds me a lot of the movie Charlie St. Cloud. In these two books/ movies, it shows the main characters and the people who are dead and the struggles of their family. I think that The Lovely Bones resembles Charlie St. Cloud because both of the main characters are dead and their siblings are struggling. I have watched Charlie St. Cloud but I'm waiting until I finish The Lovely Bones to watch the movie. In CTS, this little boy's brother dies in a car accident and he sees him a lot, like he visits him and thats kind of how Susie does in my book. I also think thst Lindsey, Susie's younger sister and Sam, Charlie's younger brother are a lot alike.
Sam and Lindsey both go through a change as their older sibling is dead and in my opinion become stronger as a person and is able to go through whatever is thrown at them. The Lovely Bones and Charlie St. Cloud are two books that have simular plot lines that are truly amazing. I definitely reccommend both of these great titles and encourage you to read! So how would you try and become stronger if your sibling had died? I honestly think I would go a little crazy. Comment! Bye guyss! Happy Earth Day!

The Five Second Rule
Hey guys! So today I'm gonna blog about an article that I read in the Upfront Magazine about the five second rule; obviously. Students at Aston University in England, tested on how fast bacteria gets on food dropped on 3 different surfaces. I was actually surprised that on dry foods like cookies and toast are germ free for 30 seconds! But on the other hand, moist foods like pasta or gummy bears are only good for about 5 seconds.
I think that the study was kind of pointless but then again, the five second rule really works and is true. No more rumors! Don't get me wrong, I'm not telling you to eat food off the floor at all! EW! And the scientists agree with me and prefer the zero second rule instead of the five second considering the bacteria will get you sick. I just thought that was intersting and I wanted to share it with you! If you wanna read it, click on Upfront to read a simular article about it :)

The Lovely Bones.. Still!
Oh Lord, guys! I'm STILL on The Lovely Bones. I know, I know it must be getting pretty boring but I make it pretty interesting so I mean c'mon, who doesn't want to hear me talk? :) I think this time I'm going to blog about the vocabulary in the book/ Sorry if I've already done it but I'm gonna do it again and this is what I've observed so far:
The vocabulary is pretty low and informal. I believe it's more slang and dialect because it's in the view point of a fourteen year old. The sentences are mostly 8-20 words long so I would call them balanced/ short sentences. I like the simpleness of the book becasue I can understand it pretty well and I like that in my books.
The imagery is pretty descriptive and there is a lot of figurative language in the book and it's used well. This might sound a bit wierd but when she describes what her killer like does (I.E.: "he cut my body into slits") i think it's really interesting and I like the way it's described.
That's all for this week! Bye guys (:
