Love, Lucas

Image
"Love, Lucas" written by Chantele Sedgwick is one of the greatest books I have read. It was a romantic comedy, but there was definitely some sadness in there. At least there was for me, I cried in the beginning and the end. I inferred I would end up crying, because when I read the back, it was pretty obvious. This book is one of those books, that from the beginning (if you like these type of books), that it'll just be a great one. Not only is it a great book, but it's one of those books that has you wanting more. Whenever I picked up the book, I didn't want to put it down. Then again, I also didn't want to finish it. I woul recommend this book to anyone who like comedy, romance, sadness, trauma, and also a little bit of a thriller. Down below is a quick summary, giving you a little bit of the feel of the book. If you're interested, please check it out! This book is about a girl named Oakley Nelson. In the beginning, it tells us how her brother is in the ...

Fake It 'Till You Become It

Some things I'm good at, is being able to get caught up with my school work when I need too. I feel like that's one of the aspects that I'm most proud of. Usually, if I'm busy or can't get my work done I hold it off. When I hold things off, I tend to procrastinate. Then when I realize I'm behind, I work until I'm caught up. It took a while to develop that, but now that I have that skill I am most proud of it. Something that I want to try to get better at is volleyball. Volleyball is something that I've been through to get better at, and as I go along, I stay determined and I get better.

It All Depends On How You Look At It

Regrets

Image
What is regret? Where do regrets come from? Why do we have regrets?      Throughout my life, I have had a lot of regrets. Some were small, some were big, but they are all still regrets. One of my biggest regrets is not being as close with my grandpa. Even though I was young when it happened, I still could have done something different, something more that what I did. It happened when I was 8, five years ago. It all happened so quickly, I didn't know how to react. Everyone was there to support me, and they all suggested to talk to someone, but I didn't know how to cope with it. He was all the way across the world, living in my home country. So, I couldn't just say my goodbyes. I didn't get to say goodbye, and although I couldn't have in person i could have tried. That is one of my biggest regrets. Every night, I think about him and how badly I miss him. Knowing I'll never be able to talk to him again, to hear his voice again, to see his smile again, and I d...

This is the Enemy

      My interpretation of what this piece of propaganda is trying to say is that, the enemy is not the Germans and it is the people who don't support them. They are trying to get people to think that they are the good people, and they want more people to be on their side. They are giving out, or spreading, false information trying to get people to think what they are doing is okay. Clearly, they are just trying to make themselves out to be the good guys, and not the people who are torturing others for being different. The audience is probably anyone who doesn't support or believe what they are doing is right. The audience could also be their supporters, and they are just sending a message to people who don't support and the people who do support. The creator of this piece of propaganda was reaching out to people who don't believe and people who do believe, to spread the word out even more.       How it's trying to alter ones perspective is that it is sa...

A Day with the Famous

I am quite a fan of many people, so this was quite difficult. I narrowed it down to two people. These two people are Johnny Depp and Kenny Wormald.      I am going to start off with talking about Johnny Depp. He is one of the people that I would literally die to meet. He is one of my favorite celebrities. He has portrayed so many different people, and I find him as such an inspiration. He has so many different characters, and he is just such a great actor. He is also such a great person, I've watched videos of how he went to a hospital to meet someone who loves him, but also has cancer. Come on, isn't that so great? Anyways, if I were to have one day to spend with him, I would ask to make a short film, explore downtown, with him, and probably ask if we can go to one of his seven islands! I would also probably wanna have just McDonald's or something, because I don't need a fancy dinner, to have a great day with him. He is one of my favorite celebrities, and anything he...
