ReplyDeleteHmm. I've never thought about what my 'message' could be. I mean, I had always follow Hannah so I don't really do anything myself. Oh! Here's something. Don't go digging through things you shouldn't dig up. History, mainly. Somethings should be left alone. I learned that the hard way. In the end though, I am glad I dug through history. I believe I changed for the better! I let Hannah go and became nicer. I actually talk with my brother now, instead of yell at him! I wouldn't say I would do it again, just saying I wouldn't have changed anything.

The theme of this story was that just because you think love lasts forever, it doesn't mean it always comes back. If you take a chance in life, you better make it worth it because sooner or later we all bight the dust.
ReplyDeletesometimes the hardest choices you have to make are when you're fully conscious not fast asleep. good luck and keep fighting.
Deletesee i like somebody that was on my bus.he doesnt know that i like him and i already know he wont like me. i wish i was like you and have somebody to like because in my school i am so lame and nobody except me so called friend likes me.
DeleteI totally understand what you are saying! I was in love once with the fear of death inside of me and the fear of hurting him. I will always cherish our beautiful moments together, but that's because i took a risk although i knew at the end either one of us would get hurt.
DeleteWhen I was in heaven, it was amazing. I got to interact with God and I totally loved it. But I knew I had to come back to earth and return to my family. My life wasn't over here on earth. When I was in so much pain in the hospital, I never gave up fighting. Neither should any of you.
ReplyDeletefriendship has its up and downs but in the end you still care about them.my friendship with rouly is half fighting half being friends.but in the end we always take it out and become like how we were.
DeleteWell i thought a best friend would never hurt me in anyway. She posted a video and put it on the web. Within minutes everyone on the bus saw. DON'T TRUST ANYBODY!!!! This is so humiliating.I was embarrassed for just running after the bus but when i heard/saw the video i was even more embarrassed.Now i know not to be late to school ever again!!!!!
ReplyDeleteA friend did that? That sucks! I mean, Hannah would do that, I know she would have. In fact, she told me she would. So I think we relate! I mean, I doubt you where chased by a ghost-killer thing, but we relate with the friend issue! I guess you should just choose carefully what friends you want.

What I've learned from being stranded by myself is that I'm stronger than I thought. 12 months on boat with a tiger was a struggle. I got lonely. I wanted someone to talk to. Now that I've been rescued, I can't hardly stand to be alone. I don't take people's company for granted. As for Richard Parker I don't know what happened to him or where he went. Hopefully to a really good zoo. The whole experience taught me to persevere and never to give up even when I think I can't.

DeleteYou never can give up, ever since I left the station I leanred that the hard way. If you keep pushing through, you can accomplish what must be done.

sometimes you have to let love go, its like an addictive drug at first you're on a high then you need it all the time. then its all taken away you're lost without you take more to get it off your mind until you finally blow. nothing can be worse than an addiction to something that isn't even there.
ReplyDelete-adam where she went-
DeleteNothing can be worse than an addiction to someone that doesn't even care. What if I was never high at all?
Deletethats so true, thats the worse feeling ever, that the person we love so much, he don't even care
DeleteCountless people have been taken from our war with the dark ones and I'm not even sure that they are the enemy. They are misunderstood and we shot before we spoke, we bombed there home, we drove them to extinction. It's our fault, my fault. If we don't end war, war will end us.
ReplyDeleteArtyom;Metro 2033
Don't fight. You need to think of a way to solve your problems without fighting. Assume good will happen! Be brave Artyom!
DeleteThe thought that i might actually die in here and that i might not see my family again is the worst feeling i could ever had. I"m starting to get use to being by myself hearing the cannons being fired that lets all of us know that there is one less person alive. I"m getting used to the people dying. This is the most fear i have ever had in my life knowing i might not make it out of this place alive and having to kill people for my own safety. I've learned to be more cautious of my surroundings and stay out of the light and to stay hidden.

We might not have many things in similar but we are both fighting for something. I want to fight for my people to know the truth and the memory that needs to be escape. Just like you i have a fear and that is i'm scared of what will happen when the memory come back. can the memory make everyone crazy or understand the value of life.
DeleteJonas, The Giver
theme is that even if you are mean to your friends you should appologize. i was being mean to rouly and i remebered that he is my best friend.so i went and appologized and we became friends.
ReplyDeleteThe message from what i learned is that memory is significant to human life. Without memory there is no past of the world. I have change to a more better and stronger person because now i know whats right from wrong. The lesson i learned it to making a change on your own even with no help.
ReplyDeleteJonas, The Giver
my character would agree with you due to the district 12 and the huger games
DeleteI learnt the hard way to let go, or should I say being left? I thought me leaving the ones I love would make me a grenade and hurt them, but it became the opposite me getting hurt. Honestly though I don not regret the times i spent with Gus because I know at that moment that made me happy.
ReplyDeleteHazel Grace, The fault in our stars.
the theme of this book is struggle and romance, the message conveys that no matter what struggle we are going through, but if we have strong support from the one who truly love us, then anything is possible, we just need somebody who cares for us.
ReplyDeletei had a hard time to learn how to make friends and how to smile to others. Someone that you've lost, even they made u sad or nearly crazy, you need to let them go. you can't keep crying, you have a better life! There're more and more friends that you can make. you should look further and cherish what you have for now. Don't lose them again!
