Coming of Age blog

The book i am reading Speak is about a girl who's name is Melinda Sordino and she went to a party with her friends after 8th grade graduation and she got raped. She then called the cops and everyone at the party got in trouble because of her. And now all her friends hate her and won't talk to her. She got raped but didn't tell anyone since only she knew. The boy who raped her now goes to her new high school with all her Ex friends. She has to deal with not only that but with the fact that she thinks she was a mistake because her parents are unhappy with each other and they only stayed together because she was born. She feels that she is the reason why they hate each other so much. They don't pay any attention to her at all, and she feels as if she cant talk to them especially about her getting raped. She has absolutly no one to talk about this situation with. But then she meets this boy in art  Michale and he kinda talks to her but not that much. She learns how to draw a tree because in the beggining the teacher told her to draw a tree and she drew a stick with little green leafs at the end and he said that she needs to learn and by the end of the year she will know how to draw a proper tree. So as time progresses, towards the end she ends up telling one of her Ex bestfriends she got raped and who by and he friend called her a liar saying he wouldnt do that because that was her boyfriend. And Melinda found this little secret room in the school and she would go in there and draw trees. And the boy who raped her came in and said " Why did you lie to her ? i would never ! touch you " and pushed her. They stared fighting and she took this paint remover thing and threw is in his eyes stabbed him and then cheerleaders found them and started beating the boy up. She just walked away. She had many scratches and bruises and had to go to the hospital for a broken arm and thats when her parents found out. They said that she could communicate with them and sounded so sincere about it but thats how it ended better in a way cause she let it out and didnt keep it inside where it was pratically eating her up.

Romeo & Juliet

Romeo and Juliet are married now by the Friar Laurence, And only Romeo, Juliet, Friar Laurence, and the Nurse know. They probably don't want to tell their parents because Juliet's might kill Romeo and Romeo's will try to break them apart in probably very devious ways. Like to make it seem as if he cheated so she would end it with him. But that's what might occur .... i don't think so thought..... But also if her parents don't know she is married they would force her to marry Count Paris and that would be unfaithful to Romeo ... Also because she loves him with all her heart but lets see what happens next byeee

A Review on "Much to do about Nothing"

Much to do about Nothing is a very sad, secretive, loving, funny story all in one. This girl Hero the daughter of Leonardo and cousin of Beatrice, Fell in love with a man by the name of Claudio. They were due to get married soon after they meet. But Beatrice was secretly in love with Benedict. He secretly loved her to. They insulted each other and yet still loved one another. The guy Don Pedro was a close friend of all of them and had a brother Don Jon. Don Jon was jealous of Don Pedro because everyone liked him. So Don Jon decides to sabotage Claudio's wedding and make it seem as if Hero is cheating on Claudio with someone else. He saw some women and a man in a window together even though it wasn't Hero. Claudio and everyone who was with him witnessed it happened. But before that happened Beatrice and Benedict listened in on their friends talking about their love for each other. So they soon fell in love secretly but didn't tell anyone or each other. On the wedding day of Claudio and Hero he threw Hero on the floor and accused her of cheating. Her own father didn't believe her -.- ............. Beatrice then told Benedict to kill Claudio for what he did. He said he would challenge him to a duel but then he just told him Hero was dead.... after he threw him on the floor but yeah. Then the priest suggested that Hero faked her death to make Claudio fell bad. Hero's father told Claudio what happened and he agreed to marry her cousin that was almost exactly like her. But there was these funny investigators and they caught Don Jon's friends talking about what they did and caught them. The investigator guy when up to everyone and told them what Don Jon really did and he kept saying " And don't forget I'm an Ass " it was funny though..... Then Hero and Claudio get married again after she suprised him and showed him she wasn't dead. Then it was Beatrice and Benedict professed their love for one another awee.

Romeo & Juliet

Romeo and Juliet and two different people and they are star crossed lovers.I have a feeling that what's going to happen is .....They weren't meant to be but yet the met each other. If Romeo's parents and Juliet's parents don't agree the will probably sneak behind their backs and see each other. I think that no matter what Romeo and Juliet will try to be together. They will fight for their love even when Juliet is suppost to marry Count Paris. Even thought Romeo's parents will possibly set him up with some girl too. It was obviously love at first sight for them .... Can't wait to see what happeneds and what is thier first obstical cause of love <3

Romeo & Juliet

Dearest friend,
   
     I have been reading Romeo and Juliet only the first act and scene. But this book is very interesting and intriging. I've learned about these two characters Sampson and Gregory. They don't like the people the work for and want to rape the other maids.
  
     Romeo is very sad. He is sad his love doesn't love him back. And his cousin Benvileo is trying to get him out of this little funk he is in. I don't understand this book very much complicated but i think i can manage. Byee until next time
   From, Becky <3
