Questions and Wonderings: The Moon and More

    As i read the moon and more I get more drawn into the relationship Margo and Emaline have as sisters, its actually very interesting to read about how they work together and how their relationship goes, and how Emaline is actually hanging out with Luke and Margo, like going out to eat with them. Basically they're relationship as sisters was growing. But I was wondering if that was going to last.

    Like what if there was a small mess up  they have or argument, would things instantly go back to being distant sisters? So as I read for this week,  I learned that the only thing that could probably put a damper in their relationship is work. One morning for work Emaline had showed up late, and had brought herself breakfast from home, because she didn't have time to eat it. And when she got to work Margo gave her a hard time because she was late, and secondly because she has the nerve to bring food to work, and not even bring anything for everyone else.

  Honestly, I see were Margo is coming from, but on the other hand that is whats rough about working in a business with your family, the relationship you have professionally may backfire and effect your personal relationship. That is actually what happened, Margo had been upset all day, and then next. Eventually she will get over it, but I think that Margo should find a way to make up for it, by showing Margo that she is committed to the job by acting more professional. 

- MAKING CONNECTIONS - The Seasons: A Heavy Snow Fall

    I read a new book, and this book was a poetry book. There was poem in this book, called The Seasons. 

    I made a connection with this poem in the book, because of what it was talking about.
The poem was called A Heavy Snow Fall By: Riu.

     This poem connected with me because of what it was talking about, how when the world is all good and its winter time, the snow is covering everywhere in the world wide open for people to be able to see it. But there is no spot open to view it.
       This in someway relates to me, when I am a nice, and lovely person. And I feel great inside, no one ever gets the chance to see me and that side of me. Even though the whole world knows I am capable of being that kind of wonderful person, no one ever sees it in me, because sometimes I am so closed up in side I never let people have a spot to see me.
     Same with the snow. We all know that there is snow outside and its beautiful to look at, but we are all never able to view it, because there isn't a spot anywhere to view it. In winter time there is so much snow we are never able to get a good view of it anywhere. Like how the snow is so closed up inside, and needs to be more open I believe I need to do the same. This poem was written by an author who used the season as an analogy for how some people are like winter they are a heavy weight of beauty inside and out but because they are so closed in (meaning very deep, and not very open) you can never really get the chance to view the wonders of them, and in this case I happen to act like that.

MAKING CONNECTIONS: THE MOON AND MORE

I do sometimes see myself having similar problems as Emaline, just because I guess you could say its a sister thing. So somethings that Emaline and I do have in common is that we both have an older sister that we feel we always have to impress. Emaline's big sister Margo is always expecting a lot out of Emaline, and Emaline is always trying to prove herself to Margo, because Margo has her own business and she is smart. Emaline basically looks up to her. In the book its pretty obvious to pick up on the sisterly rivalry.

  

  Myridian and I are most of the time competing with each other, from who has the best grades to who has the best outfit, and sometimes I will go out of my way to impress her or to make her jealous. Because like Emaline, I look up to my sister as well. 

    In the story Emaline, and Margo are not really fighting, they are just sometimes having moments when they snicker at each other. Like this one time when Margo came home and Luke and Emaline were in there talking, and when Luke left to the other room Margo made a little snicker remark saying when are you guys gonna take the "next step", which means getting engaged, because Luke and Emaline have been dating for years, and everyone is surprised they haven't married yet. But other than that Emaline and Margo don't fight very often. 

   And that is kinda similar to Myridian, and I because we don't have much huge arguments anymore, but when we were younger we use to have huge fights, but I guess now that we are both more older were not at each others throats as much like Emaline and Margo. 

Well that is all for this week. And that was a connection I shared in this story that I had recently thought of as I was reading for this week. 

p.s. I FINALLY DID SOMETHING NEW! LOL!!! 

QUESTIONS AND WONDERINGS: THE MOON AND MORE

I have recently started a new book called the Moon and More by Sarah Dessen

          I also had some questions and wonderings, one of my questions and wonderings were if Emaline was going to work for Margo her older sister again this summer. This has a been a major wondering of mine.

           As I read more I realized, and found out that. It was a tradition for Margo to have Emaline work for her every summer, but the only reason that Emaline was only thinking of going otherwise to another place to work this summer was because her sister Margo was a lot to handle. Margo is very bossy, and kinda hard to please, which is why Margo and Emaline had their differences. But because they're close sisters they always seem to find a way to meet again at close ground.

          Overall in the beginning as I read, I kinda thought that Emaline would end up working somewhere new this summer, and I was wrong. My question and wondering have now been answered after I read and found out more about each character in my new book I am reading.

QUESTIONS AND WONDERINGS: Along for the Ride

    I have recently been wondering what is going on between Auden and Jake. And I was also wondering if Auden was really into him, or if she was into someone else. I was wondering this because this summer Auden's relationship had been very bleak. 

   One day after work Auden, and Maggie went off to the coffee shop, and when Auden walked inside she had saw Jake. It was really weird when she and Maggie saw him, because of the history. Maggie and Auden had both went out with Jake, but Maggie actually dated him. Auden also did not tell Maggie about this because things were going so well for them as friends, so Auden never told her. 

    The reason Jake and Auden ended things very soon, was because later on after Auden spent some more time with her friends she found out that Jake was Maggie's ex, and their were complications between them, and that's just a small reason why Auden ended it, but the main reason was because Auden had been having feelings for someone else. The someone else happens to be Jake's older brother. 

     After Auden was done with Jake she felt relieved, she really did find much pleasure in him, but she did in Jake's brother, because he was very intelligent, cute, and he was mature as well. Auden never really had a crush on a guy because she never really pictured herself dating anyone, at least not until college. Since Auden is going to college next year she thought it was as good as any time to start doing trial dates, but the only problem was that Auden couldn't date because Jake's brother was on her mind 24/7.

     So after I was done reading I did get my questions and wondering answered. There is nothing going on between Jake and Auden anymore, and Auden wasn't really that into Jake she only went out with him to a party because he was cute, and he seemed very charming, but soon she found out he was just an immature teenager. Auden is actually into someone else, she is into Jake's brother. So overall I got all my questions and wonderings for this week answered.

THE STORY IS GETTING JUICY..... :D 

QUESTIONS and WONDERINGS: ALONG FOR THE RIDE by Sarah Dessen

Along for the ride by Sarah Dessen

       As I read Along for the Ride, I was recently wondering how things are going to work out between Auden and the three girls, Maggie, Leah, and Esther. And I was questioning if they were evening able to become friends, because in the past at school they rarely even talked, and they Auden wasn't exactly the type of person who really wanted to make friends.

         Auden was becoming closer to Maggie, and the other girls, because she was able to see them everyday. And before in high school Auden never really took the time to get to know them, or know how they are as a person. But day by day as Auden was around them now in the summer, she was able to connect with them, and actually get to know them and see what great friends they are. Auden and the other girls had a bunch of dance parties at work, and went out for coffee a couple of times. And as time went on Auden was able to have real friends to hangout with. Auden was getting more excited at the outcome of what the job brought her, and how it helped her become more open, and friendly.

        My question, and wondering was answered. I found out that Auden and the other girls, grew a close friendly relationship, and they actually talked, and hung out more. So my wondering was answered, Auden was able to make friends, even though she never really talked to them before at high school. I also got another question answered. Which was whether or not this new summer job is helping Auden out, and making her have a better summer, and actually let become more fun and loose and become more open. And yes this did happen, this summer job helped Auden come out and actually hangout this summer, with other friends, 

QUESTIONS & WONDERING (ALONG for the Ride)

   ALONG for the RIDE by Sarah Dessen

     I have recently been wondering why Auden was very cautious when she was around Eli.

As I was reading, it seems as if to me. That Auden was distanced from Eli. So as I read more of the story I began to get my question, and wondering answered. 

      So I found out why Auden was distant from Eli, it was because Eli was Jake's brother. And Maggie, Leah, Esther, and herself all found Jake annoying. And so when they met Jake's older brother Eli, they instantly assumed he was the same way, but as Auden observed everyone better, Auden realized that Eli is more mature.

     Auden wasn't actually being very distant she was just shy, because Auden had actually just developed a little crush on Eli, but since he is Jake's older brother she wasn't sure how to act. 

     I am now no longer wondering what the fuse between Auden, and Eli is, because now I know more details about everyone's connections. Of whose friends with who, and who is related to who. 

Which is actually good to know, because when new characters enter in the middle of the story it is hard to keep up with them and their life, while still trying to focus on the main characters life. But overall I picked up on a lot of new information in the story as I read.
