Friday by Rebecca Black
The Friday song is the most annoying song in the world. It also has the most catchy tune in the world . "Friday Friday we all getting down on Friday partyin partyin ya partyin partyin ya fun fun fun we are looking forward to the week end." What kills me most about the Friday song is that they say they are getting down on Friday when they are only 14 and driving on the highway. 14 year olds can't even legally drive! This song is UN realistically catchy especially when you sing it on Friday.

Twilight
The Twilight book and movie have brought so much attention to teen girls and a few boys, there were over 25 million copies of the book sold worldwide. Twilight believers keep growing day after day. Of course there are the people who think this book is overrated and unrealistic. Though there will always be the girls going gaga over Jacob or Edward. Dividing themselves to “Team Edward or Team Jacob” hoping for their special man to get Bella’s love. Personally I am Team Jacob I think he deserves Bella’s love more for that all he has done for her. He is a very humble young man. This book goes through many ups and downs. In the end I just want Bella to find her love because everyone deserves it.
Twilight is in the mostly in the perspective of seventeen year old Isabella Swan, "Bella" who has a normal boring life, until she moves to Forks, Washington with her father Charlie. This to me is a good plot because lots of teens can connect to her life. She had lived with her mother in Arizona. To me this would be an awful change going from hot everyday to rainy, cold Washington. She doesn't expect anything to change because what could happen in a small town where it never stops raining? She was obviously wrong because there has to be some dramatic twist otherwise it wouldn’t be a spectacular book. As soon as she laid her eyes on Edward Cullen, her life changed completely. He and his brothers and sisters were so beautiful, and she couldn't help staring. At first she tries to avoid Edward, and acts as if he is annoying, but really she is burning inside to get to know him. Later she finds out his deepest darkest secret…………………. Edward is a vampire. If I don’t even know what I would do in this situation nor will I ever because I will never be in this situation. But I image I would have a strong mix of emotions. Especially because this was the boy she is in love with.
Edward warns her to stay away, she still tries to talk to him in school, and finds any excuse she can to be near him. Jacob Black her best friend from when she was little warns her and tries to talk her out of going by him. Edward Cullen was an addiction to her. There was nothing she could to to stop this addition it kept coming back to her. This seems like a typical teen romances sneaking out, making excuses to go near each other, predictable but so cute. As their relationship strengthens she finally begins to realize that her life is in danger because of her hanging out with the Cullens. Just one simple game of baseball, (well, it is vampire baseball) her world turns upside down. James (a tracker) instantly becomes obsessed with Bella, and decides to track her to kill her. The Cullens try to keep her safe, but since Bella is so stubborn, she decides she will go after him herself. Bella kind of reminds me of myself in this instance because she does anything she can to protect her loved ones. She meets James in a ballet studio just so she can sacrifice herself for her loved ones. In the end Edward and the Cullens save her. Edward and Bella promise each other to be together forever. I found this quite cheesy but I guess some romances are like this.
Her sacrifice is worth it in the end. She has found the one she loved. Their relationship gets pushed the edge in dangerous situations. They will always have each other though. Everyone deserves love and Bella defiantly found hers.

Favorite Memory
One of my favorite childhood memories is going to the park with my Dad after school. When I was in pre-school and kindergarten I would wait everyday (except when it was too cold) at 4:30 for my Dad to come pick me and take me to a park. That would be my treat for the day if I was a good girl at school and didn’t screw around at nap time. The park I learned how to swing myself on was Frame Park, I remember being so excited like it was the coolest thing in the world. I don’t know why but it is one of my happiest memories. Always it brings a smile to my face.
Things used to be so easy back then the only thing I had to worry about was not falling down and getting hurt. There were no stupid fights about when I had to go bed, what I’m wearing to school, or even how many texts messages I have. Even though I have unlimited. Things used to be so simple I had my clothes picked out for me and by 8:30 I would be all crashed out. I guess this is why it’s one of my favorite memories. It was just easy, simple, and in general it made me happy spending time with my Dad every day.

The Dells
One of my favorite places to go is the dells. All the girls select basketball get to go up each year for a basketball tournament. It is so much fun, my favorite tournament of the year not including state. This year we went up to the Wilderness. It has 3 massive water parks, 2 giant arcades, and an indoor playground. There are lots of memories that I will always have that are from the dells. From the first car ride going up there to the way back home. These experiences will stick with me forever as good childhood memories. Plus we won the whole tournament for the 3rd year straight which is always a bonus.

Dear John
Dear John is a hopeless romantic novel. By reading this book I have found out many life lessons. Such as you have to keep going through hard times to get to the good things in life; there are always going to be hard times in a relationship, but there are people you are willing to go through those hard times for. This is a great book filled with drama, romance, and a heartbreaking ending. This book explores the ups and downs of Savannah and John’s long distance relationship and left me guessing as to whether or not these two can make it work. In the end everything comes crumbling down. Every 1 in 4 relationships last. I suppose not everything is meant to last, it’s just the circle of life.
Not all relationships are meant to last. There are perfect moments when it seems like nothing could go wrong. Then there are these little disagreements or conflicts that just popping up telling us it’s not meant to be. Savannah and John’s relationship seemed to be the ideal relationship at first. Then came the conflicts. John goes back and forth from being stationed in Iraq right before 9/11 to home. Seeing Savannah every 5-6 months. Every week John waits for the letters from Savannah always starting with the same sentence “Dear John”. Soon the letters come less and less, until one day they just stop. At this point in the book I am thinking, “Did something Happen to Savannah”? “Did she move on”? At this point I am expecting the worst out of this situation.
My prediction had come true. After 3 months of waiting John got his final letter. Entitled Dear John this is good bye. She had moved on, the time away from each other did no good for their relationship. They were too far apart and the other guy Savannah is now married to helped her cope when John was away. In my point of view if I loved someone I would wait everyday for them. Count the days down till I get to see them again. It would be extremely hard waiting but all worth it in the end. 11 months after 9/11 John is home safe and sound. All he has been thinking about is Savannah. Love hurts but the ones you love the most you should be willing to take the hurt for.
Love does hurt. The hurt keeps coming for John soon after John’s father dies. If this happened to me I would be in pure depression. Losing everyone that truly mattered to me. There was one benefit t everything happening, the inheritance. Hundreds of thousands of dollars. Money doesn’t buy happiness though. Then he sets out to find Savannah, he finds her. She isn’t in a better place than he is. Her husband is dying of a disease and they don’t have enough money to pay for treatment. Then I made a connection, John was going to give Savannah the money to make her happy. It will give John the satisfaction that he made his true love happy. In the end the husband dies. Not everything is meant to last but there will always be great and horrible times that you will remember forever.

The Last Song
The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks is my absolute favorite book of all time. I love the plot of the book. Even the extremely sad parts. It’s so depressing it usually makes me bawl. It makes me feel so thankful for the people around me. It would be completely catastrophic if I lost anyone of them. Not all people are as lucky though. Ronnie certainly wasn’t that lucky. I guess everything happens for a reason, nevertheless.
Ronnie used to be inseparable with her father spending hours with him playing the piano. The day her father left was one of the worst days in Ronnie’s life. He left their family to move back to his hometown in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina. Ronnie hadn’t spoken to him or played piano since the day he left, which was about two years ago. She had an incredible talent for piano and in Ronnie’s last year of high school she gets accepted into Julliard. She won’t go because of her father. Even if one of my parents left I would keep doing what I love because it would hopefully take my mind of things and help me work harder. But everyone reacts different to situations. In the first place I couldn’t even really picture being in these circumstances.
Ronnie’s mother ships Ronnie and her brother Jonah off for the summer to Ronnie’s Father’s house. Little did anyone know this would be the most sensational summer of Ronnie’s life! I’m not saying it all was good but it was defiantly a summer to remember.
For Steve (Ronnie and Jonah’s dad) it will be his last summer. Steve got diagnosed with lung cancer before the summer. It got worse when he got knocked out during a fire in the old church down the road. He didn’t want his kids to know about his disease so he could be with his kids for real during the summer. Until the last weeks of summer the kids are oblivious to the deadly state their father is in. For Steve he might be in the worst health of his life but is having the best time with his kids. It would be devastating to find out my father had cancer, I would be so sad it would feel like as if I was paralyzed.
Throughout the summer Ronnie finds she is falling for an extremely gorgeous volleyball player. She would never believe she would fall for someone like that. She goes through a whirl-wind of emotions with him. Somehow they seem to get through it all! Even through the most tragic time in Ronnie’s life. I think people like that are one in a million and you are extremely lucky when you find that right person for you. Ronnie certainly did.
