Romeo and Juliet. IN LOVE OR YOUTHFUL RASHNESS?

                  In the book Romeo and Juliet they meet fall in love and then die in the end but i want to get more in depth with it.  Recently in class we did a debate on weather romeo really loved Juliet or if it was just youthful rashness.  I said that he was really truly in love with Juliet and i will give you reasons why i think he was really in love with her.
                   Juliet was a Capulet the other rival family and he sacrificed all of this to see her. and from the book it says " Plainly know my hearts dear love is set on the fair daughter of rich Capulet." He went through all of that for rashness, also he says my heart and usually teenage boys dont think about falling in love and getting married they mostly think about the physical attraction of a relationship. Romeo genuinely loves Juliet from the heart.
                      Even though they say in the play romeo fell in love as soon as he looked at her and in her eyes like what one direction said in their song "loved you first", harry styles part says " I've never understood what love was really like, but i felt it from the first time looking in your eyes." Sometimes you can look at some one and say that is the love of my life. thats what romeo did but when he said all stuff and Rosaline he thought he loved her but he found his real true love  which is Juliet.
                    Inconclusion i think that Romeo was truly in love with Juliet. They fought to be together and died for each other and would do anything to be together even in heaven if thats not love then i dont know what is. That's all i'm saying.

HOLD STILL BY NINA LACOUR

                         I'm going to be talking about the book Hold Still by Nina Lacour.  The book is about a girl named Caitlyn and she is depressed.  I'm going to be explain some reasons why I think that she is depressed.
                  One reason I think is that in the book Caitlyn is very depressed and her parents try everything they can to make Caitlyn not depressed, also anger, I don't know why Caitlyn is depressed but I think its maybe school or her home. Caitlyn can also be sad and lonely, Caitlyn is sad but I'm not to sure about lonely.  In the book it doesn't say that she doesn't or does have friends.
                  Caitlyn's parents can be part of Caitlyn's depression but they might not know it. Her parents do everything in their power to not make her depressed but its not working. They take her on trips and everything.

why people ask about my past?

           Have you ever felt like you have nobody to talk to? well not for matt pin in the book all the broken pieces written by Ann e. burg. matt's past is horrible and so advanced for a child his age.  his father was in the Vietnam war but he was adopted by a caring adoptive family. Matt's parents wanted to protect him so he wouldn't get hurt so they gave him up for adoption. Matt never wants to talk about his past but people try to force him but he just doesn't budge.

reading response

           Sometimes you love someone so much that you don't want to let them go, but then they let you go and you cant stop thinking about them, suddenly you look at them and you finally think I have another chance but someone possess what you want.  Have you experienced this?  In the book Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist written by Rachel Cohn and David Leithien.  The book is about the main character missing Norah the ex-girlfriend and he really loves her but she has a boyfriend already.  This is the story about love and how difficult it can be to love someone when the other person doesn't love you back.
         
            Towards the middle of the book nick has a concert and he doesn't want his ex-girlfriend to come because he is probably going to be thinking about her. she was being spiteful and went to Nicks concert, he was so furious when she brought her boyfriend, he couldn't concentrate.  Nick was playing the chords so loud that he was over everyone else and he was playing some wrong notes.  He insecure and embarrassed, because she was messing with his feelings even though she didn't know that he still loves her.  Then Nick grew more and more angry so then one day he got so furious that when he was at a party with some friends he grabbed a beer then smoked marijuana.  he was mad because he saw his ex-girlfriend with her new boyfriend and he just wanted  some time to himself to not think about his ex-girlfriend that he still in love with. In the book it says that Nick wants her back but cant have her back.
         
           Nick is definitely not over his ex-girlfriend Norah. He is always thinking about her and he is always mad when he thinks about her current boyfriend. This can happen to anyone in real life because everyone has someone that they love and unfortunately they lose them at one point. Loving someone is so hard, like I said before when you love someone you don't let them go but it seems like their giving up on you but when you see them again you think its fate bringing you two back together then you see someone else with them then that's when your heart drops to the floor. So let me ask you again have you experienced this?  If you have all I have to say is its hard but trust me I know that maybe some point in their life they maybe compare you to their girlfriend/boyfriend or they question themselves.

Thirteen reasons why by Jay Asher

                I am going to be talking about the book Thirteen reasons why a novel by Jay Asher. The book is about this girl who kills herself. On the back of the book it says "you cant stop the future, you cant rewind the past, the only way to learn the secret is to press play." I honestly like the book but some people think its weird.
          In the book the girl dies her name is Hannah baker she kills herself because she was getting bullied I honestly think she shouldn't have done that I mean yes it must be hard that people bullied her in school, but that doesn't mean ok go kill yourself and I can see you go to school and you get bullied and then you go home and you get yelled at and hit by your parents but that's not the case.  Other than that I think it is a wonderful book and I do recommend it to some readers, other readers I don't. It all depends on what you like to read and the kind of person you are.
