Love Will Find You


Author’s Note: This is a creative piece that we had to write and I decided to do my on love and tips and little things about it as you read it. I hope you enjoy this piece as I had writing this.

Your heart is a very strong muscle. But where do your feelings really come from?  People will always say after a breakup that their heart is broken and it can never be loved by anyone else the same the way.  Technically it’s not broken because your heart is a muscle that pumps blood throughout your body.  Having loved someone with all your heart and then saying you two can never be together ever again. That is really a heart break, but is it just a feeling that your brain has?

People will have relationships that will last 3 years and then they will eventually get married that’s how things are in the movies and sometimes like in reality. For my mom and dad it was that same exact way. They had dated for about 8 years until saying I do. Having loved someone for 8 years is a real relationship which shows huge commit and more importantly it’s something special. People who breakup after a couple of weeks isn’t right, but what it does teach you: to see what you want in a guy.

To find that prefect guy you are going to have to date people and see what you like and you don’t like. I can tell you that honestly I really don’t know what I want in a guy yet. If you were to date somebody and you really love then how would  if they love you back and how exactly would they express it. Love can hurt someone and love can make you feel like that guy will never let you go. That guy will be waiting for you just around the corner and there will be obstacles in the way so just keep your head up and keep moving.

Missing Pieces


Author's Note: I was shown a picture and this is what I came up with.

How many pieces does a person start with? Nobody will ever start will all pieces.  To be able to do that you have to accept your flaws; know what you are not perfect.. Everybody will make mistakes somewhere in there lifetime. Once you accept your mistakes you will have to find the pieces and keep building to find out what the puzzle really is.

You can’t judge someone without getting to know all there pieces.  Without their pieces you are only seeing half of them. The best key is finding a friend that will help you find out who they really are.  As we grow older you can lose pieces or gain pieces. If you are losing them you are letting people use you are letting people use your flaws against you. 

The more pieces you are slowly finding that means you are standing up for something in your life. As you gain pieces you aren’t letting people use your flaws against you.  If you find someone that will help you find out who you really are then they will become that person that will stand up for you when millions are against you.

Is Love Worth Taking a Risk?



Author's Note: Take caution when you read this because there is a spoiler alert, maybe two. This would be completely different if it was in a different point of view. This is my take on it and I hope you enjoy it. 

Ever wonder what makes you fall in love? Dear John by Nicholas Sparks, tells his story in a first person point of view which is John. This book is all about love and romance, but what if it was told from a different point of view? The main character John decided to drop out of school and go back to the army, until he meets the girl of his dreams: she changes everything about him.

 “I say that I didn’t mean to fall in love with someone else.” Savannah wrote in a letter to John. Just imagine how it would feel receiving that letter, or even worse writing it. If the point of view changed and went to the third person which is Savannah's, how would it feel to have to be totally honest and say that you love someone else? Once it sent, she, couldn’t do anything to take it back. She knew that it would have been incredibly difficult for John to understand. Once John had received that letter he was extremely  mad and frustrated he didn’t understand what had gone wrong.

In the relationship with Savannah and John, it would have been different to hear Savannah’s point of view. Having to write the letter telling John she loved someone else would have been different to hear it from Savannah’s point of view. If would have been hard for Savannah to tell John something like this. How would John interpret that? Did he think that he could change Savannah’s feelings for someone else? When John, came home from being in the war he went over to Savannahs house just to see how things were going, but he really came over to tell Savannah he still loved her. When John arrived he asked if they could talk. Savannah was willing to engage in a conversation with John. When he said his dad past away from a heart attack, Savannah’s eyes started to fill up with tears and was about to let her emotions go. She knew that it was hard for John to go through something like this and then adding the engagement between Savannah and Tim, was challenging for John.

I know how it feels to lose someone who means the world to them. My great grandpa died from a heart attack. It was crucial to go through something like this, but I had super supportive parents that helped me get through something this tough. I know what it feels like to be in both Savannah’s and John’s shoes. Do you think Savannah had ever regret breaking up with John or telling him she loved someone else? Just to hear, I’m sure it was bitter for Savannah; if this would have been Savannah’s point of view, do you think she would have stayed with John or remained with Tim knowing how harsh it was for John?

Sometimes love is cold-blooded. It will always be a risk falling in love with someone.  Even though John didn’t get the girl in the end, he will always love her and Savannah knows that. Just because your love story isn’t like the movies, you can start your own story and still be happy. Nicholas Sparks has done a magnificent job describing love from a guys point of view. As John walked away and looked back with a tear in his eye he waved his last goodbye. Is love worth taking a risk or is the hurt worth loving someone again? Could John ever love someone like he loved Savannah and be happy?

Love Changes Anybody

Author's Note: We had to write a theme essay. I had to think a little bit before I got my topics and that is love can change anybody and it takes place in the book the Hunger Games.

In many stories love can change a character's behavior. In the Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins has a very special way of showing that love. The love connection that Gale and Katniss was more like a brother sister love, but it changes Katniss while she was in District 12. Katniss did everything with Gale until the reaping that’s when everything between Katniss and Gale changed.

When Katniss volunteered for Prim, Katniss did know what was going to happen with her relationship with Gale; when she moved to the Hunger Games. It changed Katniss going to the Hunger Games especially with Gale not being right by her side. Having to make new friends was hard for her; when she isn’t the person to be social with others. As she grew closer with Peeta. (which was the guy that got picked for the other tribute in district 12) They started to have a connection with each other.

Once Katniss knew that she had a solid relationship with Peeta, she taught her Hunger Games experience would change with having that relation with Peeta. Throughout the Hunger Games Katniss’s love for Peeta changed Peeta and Katniss but also Gale. After the Hunger Games had finished Peeta thought that this love would last but Katniss told Peeta that everything will go back to normal once we get back. So what is Katniss trying to say? Is she in love with both Peeta and Gale?

How many books can you find that have a story plot like this? If you love to read romance books you will be able to find this with any book. I found a connection with the romance like Katniss and Peeta. The book is called Forgotten, Cat Patrick. It talks about love in a similar way that Suzanne Collins does. In the book Forgotten a girl like Katniss goes through decisions  that will change her life forever. Cat Patrick really does a good job taking Suzanne Collins idea of romance and put it into her own way. In both books it’s so neat to see that both of the main character learn to trust people unlike the beginning of both books; both characters didn’t trust people.Until they meet the ones that will love them for who they are.

Books like the Hunger Games and Forgotten has an incredible romance plot line to it. It’s amazing to see how a character can change just because love came into their lives. Throughout the Hunger Games, Katniss has two of these love experiences but one really changes her. That’s her love with Peeta during the Hunger Games. Love can change anybody as long as you are open to them.

Unconditional Love


Author's Note: I had wrote this poem just for fun and I was super pumped to write this because I love my mom and dad very much..I hope you enjoy it and if you have anything you want to say there is a comment box below

Mom, Dad, thank you for being there,
supporting me, no matter what.
I walk more closely with Christ because you care.
Words cannot describe the help you've brought.
 
Ups or downs, you show me unconditional love
and full support every single day.
No matter my choices, you still hold me above
any imperfect things I might do or say.
 
Every child of yours has a place and a part,
no matter the good and the bad we go through.
I love how you love us with all of your heart;
how you love ME, no matter what I do.
 
Appreciation so strong I don't have the words,
and love that never changes,
soars for you in my heart like the flight of a bird!
You can't imagine how great its range is.
 
Hopefully this gift will make you smile;
I do what I can in return for this love.
And over every smooth or bumpy mile,
this love is forever, with help from above.

What I think Will Happen...

Author's Note: This is my prediction piece. In the reading lab we had to write what we thought what was going to happen to Cody and this is what I thought. So I hope you enjoy this and leave a comment if you think I need to fix anything

I think that the story will end like this...As the boy is running away back to his house I think that he changes and realizes that he should do what the man told him to do. I think if he does this he will get good out of it or in return. If Cody doesn't put the gold hook in the cast it  I think something bad might happen to Cody (such as haunted and other stuff). When Cody gets ready for bed, I believe that something will happen to him and he will either put the hook in Clarence's cast it or he will not.


As Cody rushed home he still has that repeating thought pondering in his mind. He doesn't know what he should do. Cody has two different feels going on. In the inside of Cody he screaming "I am finally not poor I have money."

Changes Affects People Too

Author's Notes: Katniss never really been the person to open up to other people. But this piece really make you think on how Katniss changes throughout her Hunger Games experience.

Katniss Everdeen has impacted many people within her district and the community. She has impacted people with her bravery, for volunteering for her sister. Katniss was well known for what she did to save her sister. When Katniss went to the interviews the whole audience had came up with a name for her “The Girl on Fire.” The name never left her side.

Katniss has changed throughout the story. She really has never been the person to be open to other people; she was more the type of person that was quiet and really wasn’t a social butterfly. She has a huge impact on the people because the more people that liked her  the more gifts that she got to make Hunger Games easier.
