I read more in the book New Moon.  In this chapter I read Bella was out with on of her friends seeing a movie and then they decided to go get something to eat.  They decided not to drive and to walk on the side walk to go get there food.  Bella saw these men that she thought she has seen before.  She thought these were the men that wanted to hurt her when Edward saved her.  She walked up to the men and she though she was hearing Edwards voice.  This relates a lot to real life because when you break up with someone you tend to think you hear there voice or you think they are there when they are really not.  Bella is having a really hard time with this one.  Even thought Edwards voice is telling her not to go towards the men she still does.  And I think she does this because it will keep Edward around or his voice around trying to protect her and tell her what to do, and she wants to keep him there as long as she can.  Bella also mentioned how she wants to remember him and that she was so glad she remembered his voice.  This also relates to real life.  If someone has broken up with someone or hasn't seem them in a very long time they do not want to completely forget them.  So I think it is a good thing she is remembering.  This part really relates to real life because there are so many relationships in life, and they are all pretty similar when it comes down to it, and how they all end and how people cope with it.

In the book New Moon there are many real life connections.  I read about how Bella had to go to the hospital because she was in shock.  Many people have to go to the hospital because of shock.  Shock can come from many different things.  In this case Bellas shock came because of Edward leaving.  In today's world there are many divorces.  You can think of this like a divorce, because of what Edward and Bella had was pretty much marriage it is a lot like a divorce.  Many people today are going through divorces.  I know personally that this is not a fun thing, I have had many friends have to go through this and I have tried to be a big help to them.  Luckily I don't have to go through this.  But I have heard this can be very hard on many of the parents.  Especially on the women.  Some people change and they get sick which causes them to have to go to the hospital.  This is like the problem Bella had.  The worst cases is when it is unexpected.  In Bellas case it was totally unexpected.  I have had friends tell me about divorces that are unexpected and I know that the parents have a very hard time with it, and it does sometimes lead to one of the persons having to go to the hospital.  They could have had the same situation as Bella like going into shock, or they could have gotten another sickness because of how sad they are.  Relationships are hard, and they can cause major pain to a lot of people.  But it is also how we survive in life, and what makes our life.  The hardest, and the best thing ever is what makes our life, love.

I read more in my outside reading book Twilight, I have also connected more points to real life.  The two girls go to see a movie about zombies.  Now the funny thing is, in this book their are actual vampires.  But in real life there are not vampires.  This part of the book brings imagination to the story, and makes it unreal.  But the girls go to see a movie which most girls, and boys do today.  That is a very popular thing.  Also Bella's dad is really nagging her about hanging out with friends.  Parents these days are really on their children's back, and I feel like by adding that to the book it really connects it to kids today, and life today.  My parents are always nagging me about everything.  But the last thing they nag me on is hanging out with friends.  They would say that I do that too much.  I think that Bella is just a girl finding her way.  Many people and teenagers still don't understand a lot of things.  And I feel that Bella is right there just like any other teenagers today.  I feel this book is a good book for teenagers to read because it does really connect to teenage life in  many ways and I think this would be good for teenagers to read.

I read more of Twilight and I find even more connections. This book can really connect to a teenagers life because many teenagers go through boyfriends and girlfriends, and also very hard breakups. Bella is still going through her hard breakup and her dad is getting very worried about her. It has been about 5 months now. People in real life can take this long to get over a boyfriend or girlfriend. But personally I think to mope around like Bella is doing is going to get you no where. You need to take your mind off of that person, and off of what happened. You do this by hanging out with your friends, doing fun things, and meeting new people. Bella's dad is trying to get her to do this. Bella tries to make him happy by asking an old friend to go to a movie with her. Bella's old friend is very surprised she talked to her, and even more surprised she invited her to a movie. This can also happen when you are in a relationship. Bella lost all of her old friends while she was dating Edward. I think this is something very important not to do, especially in high school. I think it was bad of Bella to lose her old friends. But luckily for her Bella's friend agrees to go the the movie. Many girls now a days would not agree. They are much more stubborn and would care a lot more about what they did in the past. The connections from the book are very similar to teenagers lives today.

Number Poem

It was the seventh day of the seventh month
There were seven people
They made a septical
They liked to ride a septacylce
They wish they had spetuplits
But I gues you don't always get what you want

Choice Reading #2

I read more of my outside reading book, and quite a bit happened. I can also connect what happened in this part of the book to my life...a lot. Edward told Bella that they should be done. And that he is going to leave and make it seem like he never existed. This connects to my life because I have had a boyfriend that I have had to break up with. This is not an easy thing to do. Bella felt nothing. This was the worst feeling in her life. I might have not felt as bad, but it is still not a good feeling. You feel like you are losing a part of you. And it takes a long time to recover. You have to think about the other things in life that makes you happy. For Bella that is not easy. She doesn't have many other things in her life that make her happy. Edward was pretty much it. This is a totally different story for me though. I have so much going for me and I am so truly lucky. I just realize that the last thing I need is a boyfriend. I have so many other things in life that can make me happy. I also don't like having to depend on someone, and having to be around for them all the time, because that is what they expect. This book relates to my life a lot because this is all about relationships. And I also feel that relationships are life. Relationships in any way make our life. That is what life is about. So I think this book and especially this part relates much to my life and could to many other lives.

spontaneous poem

I have fun to jump in the sun
I skip on the ground, I swim in the pool
I fly in the sky, the brick does not dance
My friends like to twirl, in the blue
I am happy when I laugh, I sing to the clouds
I slide in the green grass
The blue sky makes me want to run
The 7 hands I wish I could use to help the world
The sour taste of gummy worms
gives the sweet smell of candy
Oh yes, life is good
