Dont Judge

Authors Note- This si a conflict and resouloutin piece on the books "My Sweet Memories" by Rebecca Muckers and the book "Run baby Run" by Tesha Trevors.

Its amazing how you will have something on day and loose it the next. Rebecca Muckers – knows this all to well. She is a character from the book “My Sweet Memories “ by Ronda Rojoreson.   Rebecca know that when you are in the wrong place at the wrong time , you lives can fade and even memories will change.   Rebecca was kidnapped at the age of 15, escaped at age 20. Coming back to her house she didn’t even feel safe.  She has a conflict towards herself, not even being comfortable in her own skin. This is the conflict for the book.

One of the reasons this is a self vs. self  conflict is because she starts to make up things in her mind. Things that are bad and  not good for her to think. She thinks that there are people after her, looking for her. Because of this  she feels like she is almost living a nightmare.  Another reason is because her own parent don’t care for her. They aren’t there to comfort her when she is down in the dumps.  That is why is it a self vs. self conflict.

While the conflict in the book is very drastic, there is a even stronger message that goes along with the resolution. The story was resolved when the men that took her before came back for her. She escaped their grasp and stood up for herself.  What makes things neat is when  Rodney- Her old best friend that had no idea finds where she had been and takes her in. This resolves the story,  she is no longer alone.  Overall the message of the story is to “never judge someone , you don’t know what they have been through. “

Another book is “Run baby Run”  by Tesha Trevers . The story line is almost the same but the main character is Garret , a boy.  We all know that this book is a self vs. self conflict. He is judged by the way he walks , talks and sometimes even the way he stands. This book relates to “My Sweet Memories”  due to the fact they are judged unfairly. Don’t judge someone if you don’t know their journey in life.

Jacob or Edward?

Authors note: This is a point of view piece. On the book "Twilight" by Stephanie Meyers.

“ I stared at the deep-voiced boy, taken aback, but he was looking away toward the dark forest behind us. He'd said that the Cullen’s didn't come here, but his tone had implied something more—that they weren't allowed; they were prohibited. His manner left a strange impression on me, and I tried to ignore it without success.”  Bella swans mind tends to confuse me. If I was her I would stay away from the Cullen’s. They seem dangerous and not very friendly.  I m mean if she really thought that they weren’t allowed there why would she go towards him? He would  have to have a reason to not be there. But I guess mystery is what is she finds attractive. I mean if she really finds a man that sparkles that would be a miracle.

“As I trudged through that forest following him, I started to think of the worst. But then he stopped. Dead stop in the middle of the forest. Started to unbutton his shirt. I should’ve looked away but something kept pulling me back in. His skin shinning in the sunlight , almost looking like diamond.” If I saw a man unbuttoning his shirt in front of me , I would look away. But no she just stands ; awkwardly stares at his skin. That evidently looks like diamonds. That is probably the weirdest thing I have ever heard anyone say.  What about playing baseball in a thunder storm, that is a smart man you got there.  

“ We walked out into the deserted piece of land. The Cullen’s were already there. Bat in hand and Ball in the other hand. Me and Edward walked. He walked right up to first place telling me to stay where I was. Gripping the bat , Emmet standing about five feet away.  Serves up the ball. Emmet threw that ball so hard it would have been impossible for a human to hit that ball. But for a vampire I guess it was easy.” If I had to choose a vampire that played baseball good or a normal guy who is really bad. I would pick the normal guy, but Bella isn’t a very smart girl. I’m pretty sure we already covered that though. Just because he’s gorgeous doesn’t mean you have to do anything stupid for him.

All in all , I think that Bella is probably the craziest person ever. I know that I would always go with Jacob no matter what. I know that he would never do anything stupid , or play baseball in a thunderstorm. That why Bella is insane; many more names. But I guess when forced to make a choice on witch mythical creature you want to be in a relationship with.  Never ever, go with the vampire go with the werewolf always.

This is the Cat of me

Authors note: I made 2 columns of nouns and adjectives. When I thought of a certain animal i was. I just had to pick a cat because , that is what i remind myself of. This is a poem explaining why.
 

I am a Cat

Caring , Sensitive and Nurturing I am

Also alert on the prowl hunting

But when I see you tears

I will be your should to cry on

I will listen to you problems

Just as long as you clean up after me

I love my human

Missing You

Authors Note : Sometimes I wonder if my real dad, thinks I wonder how Klaire is doing? Or even I should call her up and ask how she’s doing. I mean does he even think of me as his daughter anymore?  I’m happy I’m out of his life but , what does he think of this situation? I wrote this poem for every girl that has had anything go wrong with family . Lost a parent ,someone near you; even a pet. This is as true as the sky being blue.

I miss the way you tucked me in when you got home from work.

I miss your mustache brushing against the top of my lip when you kissed me goodbye

But one thing I will never forget is you locking me in my room , for those long winter nights

Listening to me screaming for you to let me out

Not letting me call my mom , when I needed her the most

I hope that one day you can feel how I felt back then

When you love something or someone

But they walk out the front door ignoring you while you scream for them to come back

Cry yourself to sleep every night , wake up from nightmares with tears streaming down your face

Not being able to express your feeling for so long ; hold it all in , I dare you.

Hey have you had someone tell you they loved you and walked out?

No? I didn’t think so. That’s because I’m living with you, saying this to me

Over and Over again , On repeat In my brain

I find it hilarious that you can sit there and tell me you never meant to hurt me

You didn’t hurt me , you just ripped my heart in two .

But did I really deserve that?

Just keep laughing while I try and hide the fact my smile is fake

Every time your words have left your mouth , you never thought of how they would affect me

But guess what , you will never get inside my heart again

Now look who’s laughing

The best part is that you even left your own mother and father alone

Leaving me to be the only one to catch them from falling through the cracks

Until one day when you come prancing back in , stealing them from me too!

Have you done enough?

No , you decide that you are going to bring my step dad that has cared for me more than you ever did.

Into the mess you made

Not to mention my mom and sisters that don’t know any better than to comfort me when I cry over you

Try to be the only one with the last name Ledger in your family out of  5 Nerdahls.

You will never be allowed ,back in my life so don’t try

You will never talk to me again so I hope what you said made you feel good

You will never talk to my family again , don’t try or I promise to make your family split in a second

Turn around

Walk away

Say you love me one more time and don’t mean it

Hear my 4 year old scream for you to come back one more time

But don’t look back , because we all know you’re making a mistake

Oh and never will you have your family call me again its hard enough to let you slip out of my life

As much as I’d love to list everything you did to me

I have much more important things to do so

See Yah Later Gator

Remember that?

Our little saying that was only meant for us and only us to say

Not for you to pass on to your kids with the lady you call your wife

Do you even have any Idea what she put me through physically?

What about dragging me to my room by my ears

Screaming in my face , horrible things

I would just try and stay strong for the time given and say I will get out of here someday

But I guess staying strong doesn’t always work  

I still think about you , for sure

Do you think of me ?

Do you even still love me?

Will I ever even see you again?

Probably not am I ok with that?

Yes

The last time I saw you was in the 3^rd grade , in that courtroom

Me wanting to just be free from whatever game you are playing

You tried to talk to me but failed , miserably

Like they say

I don’t cry because I’m weak

I cry because I’ve been strong for to long

I want so badly for

You

Grandpa

Grandma

Aunts and Uncles

                                                                     Even my cousins

To feel the pain that I felt

To feel your heart being ripped out of your chest

To not be able to get anything straight in your head

To be scared that you will be taken from your home by a stranger , who is really your dad

My tears will fall freely when I change my last name

Happiness

Sadness

Pure joy will be made out of those tears

You will finally be out of my head ; thoughts

People keep complaining about their lives

When they have no idea what I have been through and dealt with

I wasn’t even told , when my great grandma died

I was forced to look all of you up on facebook

Imagine being me and finding that out for myself

Just tell me everything is fine

All I need is a hug

All I need are your hugs

All I needed was you being around

But then again , I don’t always get what I want

Looking out the window is even hard for me

Everything I see reminds me of you

You don’t care

I was in a play

I actually had a good part for once

You would’ve been so proud of me

But you weren’t there

I believe in second chances

But lately when I get mad 

I can’t take it out

Until one day my blood boils over

And I scream and cry over everything

People have began thinking that I’m crazy

All because of you

But I’m happy , you feel good about yourself

I’m happy you feel strong enough to stand your ground

As you watch my tears hit the ground

Come out of hiding

Show me who  you really are

Show me how much you actually care

Wrap me in your arms

Hold me tight

Sing “You are my sunshine”

In my ears.

Be there to beat up

All of those boys who will break my heart

Because , we all know that will happen

You would be here for me if you knew what was right

For you

But I guess you don’t

One day you will figure this out

You will come to me

Tell me your sorry you walked away

But until then I will wait

One Last Game

 Authors Note: This is a compare and contrast piece. On the book "The Hunger Games" and "Twilight". Comparing the main characters Katniss Everdeen  and Bella Swan

 Katniss Everdeen  and her family come from a coal mining district. In each district there is one boy and one girl, who are chosen  to battle for  their lives. They can only be picked if they are between the ages of 12 and 18.  Their journey starts at the reaping , where they are chosen for the Hunger Games.  Then they move on their journey to “The Capitol” , there they are greeted by a lot of crazy people with sort of spooky costumes.  Moving on they then have to go to a live television interview to where they have get sponsors, who throughout the games will send  them things that will help them survive.  After that they are shipped to wherever the games are, on that flight they get a tracking device embedded in their skin. Once they are at the destination for the games, they are set up on their podium until the countdown gets to one. When that happens they rush to get the best fighting tools, to kill humans and animals alike. In the end of how ever much time they need to kill everyone , leaving only one person . That person is declared the Hunger Games Champion.

But the 74^th Hunger Games are all to different for Katniss, when it comes to the reaping. She has to make the decision against herself , when her sister is chosen as the girl tribute. I mean it’s guess that I would say that her heart was beating pretty fast when she heard “Primrose Everdeen” over the loud speaker.  But she ended up volunteering in place of her sister ; went through everything that all of the other tributes in the 74 years.

In the first book of “Twight” Bella , the main character. Is pretty much shipped to live with her dad, who she hasn’t spoken to in about 5 years. When she meets up with her old friend , Jacob Black things start to get strange. On her first day at her new school, she sees “The Cullen’s “ known for acting suspicious.  When Bella is seated next to Edward Cullen in class , He seems to find Bella disgusting. But when she almost gets crushed by a friends van, Edward somehow shoves the van to the side ; with bare hands.  Jacob then tells her all about some legends, about blood suckers. She looks into it; concludes that “The Cullen’s “ are vampires.  Edward suddenly disappears for a week or two. But when he comes back he confesses that he only avoided her because the smell of her blood.  Over time , Edward and Bella fall in love.  But she doesn’t know if she loves Jacob or if she loves Edward.

So the conflict for this story is ,that she has to decide if she can take the spot of the “food “ in the relationship with Edward. Or always be on the watch for when Jacob may turn into a “dog” or even a “werewolf”.   But in the end she ends up picking Edward, who is a blood sucking vampire ; who has save her life.
