Diary of Assasains

     My independent reading book that I've been reading is called "Brotherhood of the Roses" by David Morrell. This book is very intresting because its about one of the coolest things next to ninjas, assasains. What my favorite part about the writing is the awsome descriptions, characters and of course, the action.
     David describes the scenes perfectly. He really gets into detail when he is desrcribing a person and what makes it cool is he makes the characters describe other characters in the eyes of an assasain. He takes time in describing things like cars, guns, and basically anything that an assasain would see as intresting( everything).
     The characters in the book are really developed. Not only that, but their emossions are shown throughout the book. He shows how they feel by showing and not telling. For example, instead of saying Saul was sad as he pointed the gun at his father's head, he would say Tears swamped Saul's face as his magnum pressed against his father's temple. I think that this is pretty intresting of how David can do this because when I'm writing, I try not to tell, but its hard not to because you have to find examples to show what someone feels and how they act or what they do to show emotion.
     I like how action scenes are described in this book because he makes them very dramatic and long lasting. In my stories, for me, its hard to make fight scenes because I think that they sound very stupid. You have to describe every move one by one and you have to make sure they vary. In some action scenes, I get scared that my favorite characters are going to die because with bullets flying everywhere, its hard not to get hit by one.
     One major reason why I like this book so much is that it inspired me to write my independent writing piece about the diary of an assassin. This book really helped me with my story because it will help me with revising my story because it will help with show not tell, expanding descriptions, character development and much more.

     I really like Anisha's methods and styles of her writing. Some things she does that really makes for a good blog is that she really digs deep into the concepts of every inch of this poem. She doesn't only think about the poem, but how it relates to the world. Also, she doesn't only find one theme in the poem. She also describes of what love is to her. She elaborates on her ideas and sticks with one major theme until the end. What I also like is how she starts to connect to the poems meaning and what she hopes will happen to it.

     Shadman's poem really made my day. I thought that this poem to reach out to many because the painting he responded to about Picasso, he saw that many people probably saw this as ugly because of all the features of his face. In the poem he repeats It all depends on you and I like that he said this because this could mean anything, but whatb I thought Shadman was trying to say was that you can be ugly if you think you're ugly. It doesn't matter what anyone else says. I felt like this poem is strong enough to probably drop the percentage rate of kids in schools being bullied by 10%.

     I really liked how Kayla responded to the picture with her poem because from that one small picture, she was able to blossom her ideas onto her blog. What I also liked is how she described each one of her backgrounds with how life was there, how it looked, and how she felt about it. I really liked how she said that it does't matter where you're going, but where you're from because what this means to me is that  the past will always stay with you, some thinghs just stay the same, and you can never forget what you're coming from.

Starry Night

Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh

     Over That Quiet Town      by Malik Padellan

The wave currents in the sky

swirl on top another,

whirlpools of color

over that quiet town

Stars pokadot the night,

beaming light in every direction

scaring away darkness

over that quiet town

The moon, hooked like a claw

shines the brightest

melting in the sky

over that quiet town

For the town is not just silence,

but joy and happiness.

Although it is not with the sky,

from an angle, grass pulls on stars

End of the World

Perfection

     I have recently finished watching the movie Tron Legacy, and though I gave it a 7 out of 10, I couldn't stop thinking about the concept and the morale of the movie. Its about a boy who's father worked in a big game production and one game, Tron, he went beyond of just making prodigious components of the game and was actually able to develop the grid, which was where the game Tron took place. The reason he made the grid was because of all imperfections reallity has. What he wanted to do was make a world with no imperfections, a perfect world, but with huge wants comes huge consequences and the world ends up being "perfect" in the wrong eyes. What is perfection? Is it even possible to be perfect?
     My mom always tells me nobodys perfect, and even though I know this, its hard to tell what others think about the word perfect. When you see those conceded people just stepping over everyone, they probably think themselves as perfect and people who inhance their looks so that one day they will reach perfection because they think that beauty is all that matters to be a good person. I think that its impossible to be perfect( to have been in the past, to be in the present, or will be in the future). You can find many reasons of why someones imperfect by observing there opinions on things, their perspectives, and even just having a conversation. Though someone can argue with my belief because its impossible to know if someones perfect or not because it can be good in Jane's eyes, while its bad in Bob's, and though some might say that they're perfect in their own eyes because they do whats right to them, its hard to know whats the right and wrong things in this world because of all the different cultures and beliefs. I don't know if what I do is good because I'm christian, so I do what the christian religion sees as good.
     Perfect- flawless, unblemished. Its impossible to reach perfection with such an opinionized and judgemental world. I'm trying to give a message to you like do what you think is right and you may be close to perfect, but that might not work well with some people.

The Cure of Pain

     "The world will know no peace without pain."- Pain from Naruto Shippuden.
     Even though he's very evil and a dangerous person, I think that he's right. Like in many fairy tales and stories, there is always a conflict. To resolve a conflict, someone goes out on a quest and when they resolve the conflict, there is usually THE END in big letters. Where did this come from and how did this come to be the end? I think what really makes the conflict so important and meaningful is the pain behind it. Conflicts bring about cooperation, togetherness, and a need to solve it. Pain brings about peace between people.
     Sometimes you need to undergo a form of pain, so later on it will bring about peace. Awhile ago, my grandmother passed away, and even though it was very painful to take in, it caused my family to come together from across the world. The tears brought laughter and the sorrow brought celebration. I know for many people, it is one of the hardest things to deal with, but sometimes pain could be the start of something new and graceful. In naruto, even terrible things seem to keep on happening to naruto and his friends, like Sasuke leaving and joining Orochimaru and Jirachi dying, it was bound to happen and although it was tough to deal with, you never know. Naruto might not have been as strong as he is now amd not ne able to save all the his friends form all the evil and danger. Pain is like saying "see you later," to  a friend because you may not be seeing them for awhile, you're going to see him tomorrow at school. In Naruto, a beast named Nine Tailed Fox, and was so strong, the only way to stop it was by sealing it into a baby which was naruto. Evertime naruto feels a great form of pain , a part of the fox's power takes over naruto. When the pain goes away, naruto goes back to regular. 
     Pain is like a cut. It may hurt when you get it and look bloody, but after awhile, your skin will form a scab, and soon enough, before you know it, the cut is healed. Pain is never a scar. Although we don't see it as something good, who knows? It might end up changing your life for the better. What I like to think of it is that today, its a painful discard, but tomorrow, its a great gift, so although you broke your DS, a DSI will be waiting under your christmas tree.
