Summer Reading Blog- Papertowns: Conflict (2)

By Anonymous -
     The book I chose to read for this assignment was "Paper Towns", written by John Green. There were many conflicts throughout the entire book, as a whole. Some were solved, however some were not. The main conflict was Margo running away, basically meaning she was missing. Margo leaving was like a trickle effect, because when she left everything else went horribly wrong.

    As I said in the first paragraph, the main problem was that Margo was gone (missing). This conflict was both external and internal. The reason it was internal was because of Quentin. He was feeling so many emotions because of the fact that he was in love with her, and she was missing. He was worried, scared, frustrated, sad, and some grief. He wanted to find her so badly because he wanted her back, and he wanted to know that she wasn't dead. The reason it was external is because they had to do a lot of researching, investigating, and going to other places (that were dangerous to explore) so they could find her. In the book it says, "But now it was even more unbearable, because every minute I wasted in school was another minute in which I failed to find her." This shows that Quentin thought go he all the time, and was upset with himself for not being able to find her right away.

     While I was reading the book, I felt the same way Quentin felt. I was worried because no one could find her, and if anything she could've been dead. I was sad, because Quentin had been worrying so much, and I really wanted him to be able to find her, I was also somewhat frustrated. Reason being, the clues were very vague, not giving much information, making it very difficult to find where she was.

The Greatest Risk, is Not Taking One

By Anonymous -

     The title of this blog, is one of my favorite quotes. Once I read it, I sat down and just took a minute to analyze it. I knew from the moment I read it, that I would really relate to it. There are moments in everyone's life, where they question whether to do something or not. I know I do. For me, I'm more of a shy person, so I don't take the risk. Yet, I always wonder what would have happened if I had actually taken that risk. I will always regret not taking the risks in the past, because what if it could have changed my life in a completely different way? You see, taking a risk is something you should always do. If it is something you might be so scared of, take a moment, and look at the pros and cons. That's what I do. In the end, I always look at the cons even though there might have been more pros. I always find a way or a reason on NOT to do something, don't be like me. If I learned to take a risk, so should you.

Beginning of the End

     Over the past three years, I've really grown fond of heritage. Of course sometimes I hate having to wake up and go to school, but who doesn't? In the end, I'm grateful for all the opportunities heritage has given me. It's the beginning of May, meaning my middle school years are almost over. Part of me can't be more excited for the next chapter of my life. Then again, another part of me is more scared than ever to move onto the next part of my life. I'm basically one step closer to being out there in the world all by myself. I can't wait for that, and I want that to happen. I also kind of want to stay a kid forever though. There are two sides of this situation. One side wants to hide from the future, and the other side can't be more excited for the future.      This year has honestly been the year that changed me the most. It's made me stronger, more open-minded, and I've gotten more organized. I've been better with time management, whic...

Perseverance

By Anonymous -
      Now that we have summit, school has been so much harder. These focus areas piling on top of each other, it's like never ending. Summit has been very tough because, #1, I'm still getting used to the whole new platform, and #2, these focus areas need time and thought put into them, and it takes more than a day or two to get most of them done. I persevered because this is my education, and even though it is hard I'm not going to just give up. Of course I needed patience though, because to be able to have go preserve through something like this, you do need patience to get it done and tolerance to failure as well, because failure with this is not uncommon.      Some traits Nick Vujicic has is self-confidence, courage, and of course perseverance. How he had self confidence is because he doesn't let what other people effect the way he sees himself, and he also doesn't hide himself. He actually goes out. He also respects himself enough to not let anyon...
