new book predictions

I started reading a new book today because I got it for Christmas and I really like it so far. It is called Safe Haven. I predict at some point in the book something will happen with Katie or (Erin) ex-husband. Because it starts off with him almost harassing her and her having these flashbacks. I think he will end up coming into her live again at the end. Although I don’t quite think he even knows for what he wants completely out of her.

                I also predict that throughout the book she will end some where she has always wanted to throughout her live. Because the cover is a picture of the beach. In the beginning of the book it shows her getting on a bus. That’s the point I’m at now and its going along with her husband chasing her. The other point to it says Haven. I believe that she ends up going asomewhere peaceful maybe on a beach because of the fact a haven could be somewhere heavenly or what not.  

symbol for charcaters

A symbol for the main character, Amanda, I would say reminds me of a balloon. Because the whole scheme involves birthdays, and Amanda getting so fired up on how confused when she kept running to Leo. Its almost like she could expolde if she doesnt figure out what the deal is with Leo. For a symbol for Leo i would say cluelessness. he doesnt really over look the whole running into a girl coincidentally accident  optimistically. He doesnt think its anything specail and doesnt mind the whole circumstace too much.
Compared to the doctor who delivered them,  i believe the symbol would be like a lucky charm. He was the one who said you guys are going to see eachother for the next 11 years and just ave that randomly happen! i think its cool how that worked out in the book. Also the moms have some sort of connection i feel, because they are the ones who remember eachother and find eachother when they always running into eachother.

Setting

             The main setting in this book is in a New York City suburb area. They are near downtown. It says this when they all run into each other quite often around the same area. A couple blocks down the kids are both born in the same hospital Al though its 11 years earlier!!

            They run into each other on their 11^th birthday. A quote states “OH my gosh… is that really… you? I couldn’t believe it when I saw my eyes. I was never this lose to him since the day we had been born in that same floor, next door, light violet painted rooms.” This quote really has a lot of good imagery. It also shows the relation of how the two feel a connection together. And I know this has a good reason as to when they meet back up throughout the rest of their lives!

text to text

A connection between the book I am reading now and another book, being text to text, is that this book is very girly. I found it is fictional and it relates to My life in pink and green. That book is one I have previously read. A text to self connection is that the main character has a best friend in the book who she celebrates every birthday with. I found that neat because I have one too, who I have spent with ever since I moved to Mason.


Text to world connection is that the girl is tying to relate to world somehow. she is trying to get someone or something to help her notice the "coincidentally" moments in which she keeps running into the strange boy she met the day she was born. She feels as if her life is revolving around him every continuous year she finds him. Summaries of Amanda And Leos Life.

Explain why you chose the book you did/ How does society affect individuals.

The book I chose was “11 Birthdays.” The main reason I chose this book was because of the cover. When covers really stick out to me, it pops up into my mind that they are probably pretty good book. Unless the book is about something more strictly related to guy stories, biographies or anything science fictional usually isn’t my type. I really like books made after movies. Whether or not if I have seen the movie, if I liked the movie usually the book will be good, or else if the cover looks interesting as well as the title, it pops out.

            This book shows how society affects an individual for example how the girl and boy keep meeting up with each other every year. Why does the author stop at 11 years old though? The last year they meet up with each other is when they turn 11 years old and after that don’t see each other. It affects the characters because they obviously know something is up. It’s really the author messing with the audience in real life. I think all of the readers are wondering when their next going to meet up. And I predict that they will end up meeting up together when they get way older towards the end of the book.

Blogging Prompt 4- Author & Research

          The author of the book I am independently reading is Wendy Mass.  In a biography of Mass it noted how she w as Born 1967, in Livingston, NJ. She got her Education from Tufts University (English); California State University at Long Beach, (English); Drew University, doctor of letters degree. She was a Writer. She worked variously for a literary agent, a television casting company, as a script reader for a film producer, and as a book editor at publishing houses in New York, NY, and CT.

          After graduating from Tufts University with a degree in English, Mass moved to Los Angeles, California, to work in the entertainment industry. She later attended graduate school, where she made the decision to write for children and young adults. Moving back east, where she began her career in publishing, Mass was soon afforded the opportunity to write nonfiction. The book 11 Birthdays she published in 2009 was not nonfiction, though. Considering it is about magical dreams and wishes coming true!

Predictions on F451

Because of over the Thanksgiving Break, I read A Lot of Fahrenheit 451. Some predictions I have for the book is obviously I feel like something will happen with the whole books issue! Montag just recently stole a book from a previous night while setting a fire. That is basically illegal where they live so his wife wants nothing to do with him having books around her house because of the fact Captain Beatty was in their house the other Day checking up on Montag while he was “sick”. I think in the end the both of them will get in trouble with the government. I also think something will enter about Clarisse. She entered so quickly and left very quickly also.

                A future plot event I think will happen in the story might be where the society realizes preventing people from reading, might end up as a stupid idea. It seems as though some of the actual citizens are catching on to it.  I did have some questions within the book like: why is Mildred so obsessed with tv shows?? And why is Montag acting so sick, while preventing to go to work? I also didn’t get where in the scene of the fire where Montag stole a book what happened to Captain Beatty during that time, casue it said a lot about him but it confused me a lot.

 

This is an article on how in  Wales people are actually Burning Books in real life!! Crazy to think about How Ray Bradbury made that prediction.
