-Many people are being affected by others. “The posts from the 39-year-old followed a now-familiar pattern of right-wing social media users. He tweeted about how vaccines didn’t work against Covid-19.” He tweeted this to social media, many people saw this and questioned. This user used social media to his limits. “Peña paid four men in cash to target the homes of the two Democratic state lawmakers and two Democratic county commissioners.” He paid people to hurt others because he didn’t like something. This was unfair to others.

week 16

So far I think the book Twilight is an interesting book and movie. Seeing the differences between the book and movie is weird. Like in the book Bella finds out about all of the Cullens’ past. In the movie Bella only founds out about a little bit of Edwards. Also for my project i’m going to do a journal write for Bella. That way you could see Bella at my perspective. Like, how I see her throughout the book.

week 15

Story of my life, I met this guy that was very presumptuous, he was very arrogant towards me. I don’t understand why he was so mean. He was very agitating. So I told him he was obliged. After I told him, he was unperturbed. So I walked away from the situation.

Week 18

Dear Diary,

Being the new kid is honestly annoying, Im only 17 years old. I moved in with my dad. It’s a bit of change moving from sunny to rainy. Going from Arizona to rainy Washington felt unreal and a weird feeling. Though then  met this boy, he way very awkward. Though I got to know him, by the way is name is Edward Cullen. He made me feel some type of way. He was a mysterious guy. Though as life went on he told his biggest secret. That he was a vampire… Whose family doesn’t drink blood. I made the decision to continue my life with Edward. He wasn’t like anyone else and I think that’s why I fell in love.

Book choice

My book choice is “twilight”, So far I think it is very detailed. Though so far it seemed pretty much the same as the movie, but in the book Bella finds out about the cullens past. In the movie Bella never finds out about cullens past maybe a bit of Edwards.

Write a diary from the main character

Briar rose, by Jane Yolen

 

It starts off with a very known fairytale sleeping beauty. I’ve only heard this story a million times. Though it was switched up a bit and is about someone named “Briar Rose”. My grandma loved the story not more than me as the baby of the family I lived when grandma would tell the story. Soon to find out as I grew up my grandma was in a nursing home but wasn’t doing so good. Her last wishes were for me to find the castle as told in the story. Now this all came to mind very weirdly especially since I grew up with it knowing it was a fairytale. Then my grandma has set in her mind that she is Briar Rose. Yes this is my grandma’s last wishes so I have to fulfill them. I then later on found a box of grandma’s old things. My family thought my grandma came to the U.S. before the beginning of world war ll. Though the documents in the box say she arrived in 1944. So I needed to figure this out, so I headed to Poland to investigate a bit more. As further into my investigation multiple people say no women ever survived. Except a man  named “Josef Potocki” said one woman did. Which was my grandma Gemma! He tells me a story on how he saved her. The guys told me about Gemma’s story of a woman who escaped death. Then he told me about my grandfather. I’m now happy that I did fulfill my grandma’s wishes. Turns out she did experience some stuff in Europe. I head back to the USA and come to find out what I do to get a happy ever after.
