Next Book Interview

           So I'm almost done with my book so for my next book my sister suggested was Wintergirls by Lauria Anderson. My sister recommend this because she's not a big reader but she just couldn't put the book done which is very unlikely. So I looked up the summary and it says “Dead girl walking”, the boys say in the halls.

“Tell us your secret”, the girls whisper, one toilet to another.

I am that girl.

I am the space between my thighs, daylight shining through.

I am the bones they want, wired on a porcelain frame.

Lia and Cassie are best friends, wintergirls frozen in matchstick bodies, competitors in a deadly contest to see who can be the skinniest. But what comes after size zero and size double-zero? When Cassie succumbs to the demons within, Lia feels she is being haunted by her friend’s restless spirit. 

Laurie Halse Anderson explores Lia’s descent into the powerful vortex of anorexia, and her painful path toward recovery."

So this really drawed me into this book because it's mysterious, interesting, and I can already tell the author uses really good diction which is a plus! So I'm hoping I will be able to read this next.

A Quote to remember

A Quote to remember

          Have you ever read something and it just stuck with you for a really long time or forever? Well in the book battlefield of the mind by Joyce Meyer a quote form this stuck with me and it may stick with you. It said " Here's the real deal: No thing and no person can make you miserable without your permission." (Meyer, 52)

           Wow!! This quote really opened my eyes and stuck with me. This was exactly what I needed! I knew that I can choose what makes me mad, sad, or happy. It all depends on how you react to the situation. You can be the person that gets mad at every little thing in life and always be depressed if one person says something negative. This person will be miserable for the rest of there lives. Or you can be the person to forgive easy and learn from something. Don't let that one thing affect your personality or your mood. In high school especially there are many kids that use there words as a weapon to hurt instead of a way to lift people and friends up in encouragement. Words are powerful and we have to be careful what we say to one another. Okay I have a short story and you may relate to it but say you come to school and you look really fancy and nice and everyone gives a complement so you feel really good but say one person says something really mean about it, all of those really nice complements go down to zero. You can get 1,000 compliments and 1 negative word and all you feel terrible for the rest of the day. I think we all can relate to this situation. So why does that one negative comment stay with us? Why do we listen to that one thing? In today's world teenagers struggle with this a lot. That one person can affect our whole day or even affect us for the rest of our lives. If someone says your fat, that girl or boy (mostly girl) will hold on to that for dear life. So they may get depressed and they start believing that they are fat. So they stop eating or start trying to cover up the way they look. So now this girl believes what another person says and now this girl is miserably with how she looks and feels. :(

                Now a lot of girls can relate with this situation which is really sad. I challenge you today to use your words to lift on another up and encourage and speak life to one another. Don't use your words as a weapon to hurt someone or to make your self feel better about your self. And I also challenge you to be confident in yourself and don't believe what everyone thinks. Because you are fearfully and wonderfully made.

"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." ~ psalm 139:14

Half way through!

            I am reading the book Battlefield of the mind for teens By: Joyce Meyers. Im about half way into the book and I have already learned so much from it. This book really reaches out to teenagers because in these days teens have been struggling with more and more things, which really breaks my heart. But this book has taught me so many things about life.

              In the first sentence of this book it starts with a question which I love because it makes the reader more involved with the book, it states, "Are you feeling a little tired lately? Confused? Depressed? Kicked-around? Its know wonder- you're in war."

             This book also starts with a bible verse in the beginning of the chapters that relates to the message, so when your done you can go back and read the scriptures in the bible. In the book Joyce is talking to the reader, the author gives her thoughts and asks questions. She also adds a lot of true facts and articles that relates to the message. She provides many other peoples stories on there life, they tell what they have been through and how they got through it.

            Did you know that suicide is the third leading cause of death among Americans ages 15 to 24.
This is so sad... I would have never known this if I haven't read this book.  This book has taught me so much about whats happening today even though I knew a lot of it but this shows statistics and numbers. This book has really opened my eyes to whats happening. This makes me want to reach out to others. I challenge you this week to put someone else's needs before your needs and to really love one another no matter what. You never know what may be happening in someones life even if you think there perfect and everything is okay with them. But you never know what battle is going on in there mind/life.
