Twilight
Stephenie Meyer


When reading a good book I want to always be tuned in. A romantic love story that takes a tradgic turn. "About three things I was certain. First,Edward was a vampire. Second, there was a part of him, and I didnt know how dominant that part might be, that thirsted for my blood. And Third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him." This book will always be one of my favorites. Its an amazing story! Stephenie Meyer's Twilight is a story this generation will never forget!

A good theme for this book would be "Love is the strongest force!" Edward Cullen could have easily killed Bella Swan with a touch of a finger but he controlled how badly he thirsted for her. Bella is scared for her mom because she was taking by James, the killer, so she gives herself to him to save her mother. Due to this Edward goes and fights James and saves Bella's life.
I pictured Bella to be an ordinary girl but pretty. Someone who is shy and very observant to her surroundings. She is the kind of girl who hides behind everyone else. She doesnt like to be noticed. If I were to meet Bella I'd first feel like she is boring. She isnt an outgoing girl unlike myself. I can see how she would appeal to everyone and seem interesting to people.

The way that Stephenie makes me feel about the characters while reading this seemed all to real. She made me fall in love with all them the way she had them set in her story. I felt like I was learning about all of Edwards secrets. The feeling when reading this was like opening up a present. It was all new. Mysterious and heartfelt Stephenie achieved them.
The surroundings that the story takes place in fits the story. A small town full of secrets. Wet, cold, and rainy through out the year seemed like a good place for a vampire. Also it was a good place for an uncordinated girl to get hurt bringing more out in the story.

I can honestly say I felt like I was in this book while reading it. As if this was part of my life! Thats a good writer! A good writer writes good books! I'd recommend this book to anyone! I hated that this book had an ending it was that good. No other book that I have read meets the expectations that Stephenie has made for me!

A definning moment in America, was the massacre of Newtown. The one thing on our minds around this time of year is Christmas shopping and get togthers with the family. All sorts of different things on our minds but a phone call later that your child was killed by gun shot is not one of them.

The TV's were loaded with headlines on the killing of twenty plus children. Putting the whole country on mute for a few moments. Parenst rushing to schools to get their children wondering if they are safe.The details only got worse 20 children, ages six and seven, more girls than boys, and six teachers and administrators had been killed, gunned down by a young man armed with an assault rifle.

His name was Adam Lanza. He killed himself when he heard approaching policemen enter the school, but he had enough ammunition to do much more damage than he did. Doing enough damage anyways just days before Christmas. Taking kids lives away and robbing parents of their children.

North Korea launched a long-range rocket in defiance of UN sanctions threats over what Pyongyang's critics insist is a disguised ballistic missile test. There was no immediate report on the success of the launch, but the Japanese government said the missile had passed its southern island chain of Okinawa around 12 minutes after take-off. Japan had deployed missile defense systems to intercept and destroy the rocket if it looked set to fall on its territory. In Seoul, President Lee Myung-Bak called an emergency meeting of his National Security Council to discuss the implications of the launch. Japan's government found the launch intolerable, chief government spokesman Osamu Fujimura said. "It is extremely regrettable that North Korea went through with the launch despite our calls to exercise restraint," he said. The launch followed reports in the South Korean media and satellite imagery analysis by US experts that suggested the rocket had been removed from the launch pad to repair an apparent technical problem.

When in a discussion, tolerationg someone elses opinion can be very frustrating. The ideals, giving respect, allowing them to express themselves freely. However agreeing, disagreeing, and tolerating anothers ideals may not be easy, respect is deserved for everyone. Some have very stong opinions toward some subjects and listening to what they have to say can upset some people. Everyone has a right to tell their ideals whether you can tolerate them or not may be the problem for some.

To explain why humans can't live off caffeine and bacteria, the smaller one, can Rene Lynch try's to inform us why.
"Bacteria...get all the calories they need from it." Bacteria doesn't need much to live on. Humans need all their vitamins and minerals, unlike bacteria, to survive.
"We don't have the gears to digest the derivatives further." Human bodies take the caffeine as a source of energy but that's all. After that your body does nothing with it.
"Bacterium...it possesses several enzymes that do things to caffeine that we can't." Because the bacteria ca break down and use caffeine for energy and food it can live on it.
Bacteria had the capability to use caffeine in ways that humans cannot allowing them to live off caffeine.
The author answered the question "why bacteria, but not humans, can live off caffeine" Explaining to us all the reasons why even if we aren't satisfied with the turn out.

The authors, the writer of the article, purpose was to describe to the readers what a flying saucer was, and the plans being made by the government to create one.
"The NDC in college park, MD, opened one of more than 100 cardboard boxes from the Air Force recently and came across a 114 page document." This document was written out plans by the government planning to build the "flying saucer".
"The disc shaped craft, which comes complete with an ejector seat, and powered by a ramjet." Here further detail and explanation is given to the reader about the saucer.
There was "a follow up plan to develop weapons suitable for the saucer, to all on it to be used as for reconnaissance, inceptor or tactical bomber." This was another plan made by the government. Adding weapons to the saucer.
I don't believe that "flying saucers" are real, but some of the world does, thy exist around the SI location.
I'm glad the government is searching for new and different ways to help the world and help war. To me this just seems like a movie trying to become real life.

My Responsibility to the Nation.

Everyone has responsibilities. Some have more than others. Being responsible is a big job and sometimes can cause a lot of stress. One responsibility we all share is one to our nation. My responsibility to the nation is to obey the rights given to me and have faith and trust in the president.
One way I can show responsibility to the nation is by obeying the rights entitled to us.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that they are endowed, by their creator, with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
The Declaration of Independence says this. Out forefathers say down and wrote what rights would make this country better for a person to live in. By following the rights given to us it will make our country stronger based and create unity.
"These reflections, arising out of the present crisis, have forced themselves to strongly on my mind to be suppressed." This was said in the first Inaugural Address. Problems are made when you walk a thin line, pushing the limit, it creates unnecessary issues for our president to have to think about. The rights were made for a reason and each one suits its own purpose. Obeying them will create less problems in our nation.
Here's another responsibility. The people of our country vote for a leader.
We put our faith and trust in the president. It is one of my responsibilities to the nation to support our leader.
"I shall again give away to my entire confidence in your discernment and pursuit of the public good...carefully avoid every alteration which might endanger the benefits of an United..." George Washington said in the Inaugural Address. Putting faith in our president will help the leader lead out nation. We should have confidence that our president will keep us out of danger and make out country better.
"...the foundation of our national policy will be laid in the pure and immutable principles of private morality.." George Washington said this in his speech. Meaning as president he'll create laws and policies that cannot be changed after its been created. I used this ad an example of trust. Trusting our president with what he does in our country.
By following the president and having faith in trust in him I am pursuing a responsibility to the nation.
Doing these to things that I feel are a great responsibility when living in this nation will help keep our nation string and united.

      There has been a little debate on whether the Kindle HD is better than the IPad. So they made some comparisons to try and see if it was true.
      Apple has a wide range of apps a little over 225,000. The Kindle HD gets its apps through Amazon. The Kindle HD is operated by Googles Android system, there is a limited amount of apps for the Kindle HD.
      The iPad had a total of 3.1 million pixels. Making it have a great picture quality. The Kindle HD measures 1,920x1,200 pixels with custom features. Both of these hand helps have such a sharp resolution it's hard to decide what is better.
      The Kindle HD used to be only Wifi now it's available in, the reliable, 4G. The iPad had the same plan ad the Kindle HD but that all depends on who your carrier is. It's safe to say that, the Amazon operated, Kindle HD is less expensive.
      Maybe this will cut down how many people want to debate on this topic. I did research to see, in my opinion, which was a better hand held device and being an active participant in my learning!

I think that this new building will have extreme safety standards. This building will take very long to make. "At their fastest workers will build one full office floor per week" and there are 104 floors with 2,500 workers working on it a day. Considering how the weather is and holidays they use this building will take longer than they assumed.

I could forgive them. It would be hard to forgive their stupidity for not warning passengers, filling boats 1/2 capacity, and leaving people to drowned. In my last moments knowing that im going to die I can forgive them.
