Peace Love and Baby Ducks REVISED!

         This book is about the bittersweet relationship between two sisters Carly,and Anna as they both try to find themselves in the viscose cycle of high school. As they help each other throughout the book they are faced with many obstacles, not only with each other but also with popular themes such as,racism and faith. The story is told by Carly's point of view, I really like this because, Carly shows Power and strength in her attitude and personality.She gives her point of view on the themes above, and gives a new light on how other people in the south might preseves them.

    Carly has a very good sense of values and morals, in a large percent of the book she seems like the only person with a good head on her shoulders. But I soon realized that it is not the best characteristic to have, because I feel the more you think that you are right, the less you feel others are right. Since she is the older sister Carly is the one that steers Anna into the right direction even if the wrong way seems easier for both them, but on occasion Anna is always Carly shoulder to cry on.

   I think that it is very cool that the roles of older sister care - taker, can easily be switched.But when both siblings get into a difficult encounters, They only have each other for sereninty.They frequently remind themselves of a family saying "keep paddling"( from an experience Anna had with their father while practicing swimming) that short saying always gives them the hope to get through their relationship or any of their other problems.

      Reading this book made me, compare Carly and Annas,  relationship to a rubber band, because no matter how far people or themselves pull each other away from one another, in the end its always an impossible task. As sisters they have a bond that can never be broken, so they will always spring back together again. 

the CATCHER in the RYE

    Today in project real i started the very old book The Catcher In The Rye. So far i have only read only 6 pages. I know this can not be enough to find the plot or any themes what so ever but i wanted to discuss a quote i read in the book.

   "What i was really hanging around for, i was trying to feel some kind of good-by. I don't care if it is a sad good-by or a bad good-by when i am leaving a place i like to know i am leaving it. If you don't, you feel even worse" 

          When i read this sentence i was thinking that he was taking about his acceptance in the school. Whether he was good enough for everyone expectations while he was there. If they had enough respect for him as a person to acknowledge his absence. When you leave a place you know that you are walking out, but are you okay with just that, or do you want to know that everyone their tells you, that your gone. So to show you that they know you.
     I think that it does feel much worse when know one tells you good-by when you leave, you feel worthless, not good enough for them to waste their breathe on. That when you were there they didn't feel your own presence in the room. I think that is what themain character is trying to say. He doesnt care if its a good or bad good-by, just to know that everyone would give him the ability to leave at peace.
     To the main character, when someone says good-by to him that what signals him that he is leaveing, that he is not coming back. With everyone else when we go we don't neeed anyone to tell us we are leave ing we already know that. Even if we would rather someone to do in anyway. In his other schools he left without even realizing it mentally because no even cared so much as to say "bye."
     I never really realized how much saying a liitle word like "good-by" would matter so much to people. It shows everyone else a sign of respect to one another even though it is only one little word.

The End Of Peace, Love, and Baby Ducks

     Every thing has to come to an end, and this is the official end of me book Peace, Love,and Baby Ducks. In the end of the book Carly and Anna's sister bond was tested for the last time.  In This ending scene, all of the emotions are blown out of proportions. That means that all of the bottled up feelings they had towards one another overflows like the bursting of a damn. This would certainly be a sight to see because while they are having a sisterly fight, a massive party is underway, ruining there parents house while they are away. To me I thought that they were fine with each other before this scene because I thought they had told each other everything. But i guess not. For Carly it was her Sisters likability, even though Carly is the older sister Anna looks like the bigger, and Badder version of Carly.

      I think that Carly feels that Anna is everything she will never be, she is no longer the older sister, the more mature one physically. But what Carly doesn't know is that Anna is not everything, Carly and everyone else sees her to be, she is like any other little sister. She wants to be just like her older sister. Anna needs her Carly to take care of her to look out for her, even though she never looks like she ever does. But every time Carly rejects her because of who she is, its like everything in her own world is crashing down on her shoulders. But Carly feels that she is to mentally superior than Anna to ever give, even though they are sisters.

Also Carly has a really good Ethics value on her so she knows what good and bad.

GOODBYE GLASS !

When I finished the book Glass over the break I read the authors note, noticing for the first time that this story was for her daughters that had a ride with the monster. I wonderd If that was hard for not only the author but her family as well to resurface all the emotions and the struggles they had to face when they were going through that horible time. but know their story is on the bookshelvs of many people. Even though she only used minor details, it is still part of her and her collection of other books. I feel that knowing now these words on the book really happened makes me feel even more connected to all of the characters even more. Kristinas mother for all of pushes to get her on the right track and never giving up, she really reminds me of my own mother for her stregth and determination everyday. I also feel connected to Kristina when she didnt know which way to turn and alone, I have been in that sitiation before, I relate to her emotions because i had the same ones. I think that Ellen Hopkins shared her story with the world so that teens relize the struggles of a drug addict, how it can take a toll on you, you family, and friends. But most of all how family gets you through it all.
