In my book Imaginary Girls by Nova Ren Suma the main character Chloe and her sister Ruby have a great sisterly friendship. I think that they are a great example of how siblings should act toward one another. They support each other and love each other.
"Chloe could swim this whole thing, there and back".Ruby said this because she knows her sister can do it, she believes in her. Ruby believes in her sister 100% and i think that it is important to believe in your sibling. This makes them feel better about themselves and it shows your there for them. Chloe and Ruby are role models they show that your sibling is your best friend. The one you can lean on, the one that believes in you, and the one who you can come to in the hardest of times.
"Ruby tried to convince my dad.""She tried in all the ways she was used to trying: her eyes staring down until no light could escape and there was nowhere else to look but straight at her." When Chloe had to leave Ruby, she came right back to Chloe. The reason for that is because she missed her. When you spend most of your life taking care and loving your sibling, when they leave it is never the same again. Its like something out of place or missing. For example, " there's been no one to eat my baby corns". Ruby and Chloe would order from a place, when the ordered Chloe would eat the baby corns that Ruby didn't want. Imagine you did that with your sibling and when they leave you sit there staring at them knowing their going to be thrown out because your sibling is not there to eat them. That makes you miss them even more.

Field with Flowers Near Arles
I chose field with flowers near Arles by Vincent Van Gogh because it was a beautiful piece of art and I have a lot to say about it. I think that that picture is about how life is a pleasure and you should always live life to the fullest. You are never going to get that beautiful exact moment ever again so not only live life to the fullest but savor the moment and appreciate it.
The piece of artwork is very calm and relaxing. The scene is beautiful filled with a lot of trees, grass and flowers. This is a time where you would savor the moment because it’s almost perfect. This time where the grass is perfectly green and there is no one outside and the flowers look beautiful is never going to happen again so savor that moment. I mean sure you might go back to the same place with the same people but it will never be the same.
This work connects to me because I love nature. Not only that but it reminds me of my memories upstate. Where there would be tons and tons of acres of fresh green grass and a patch of beautiful flowers right near the house. It got me away from the polluted city to a fresh new place where I could relax and enjoy myself. I think every one needs to get away from the city and head to somewhere like Van Gogh’s artwork.

All star nomination
MY ALL STAR NOMINATION GOES TO...................... Joanna
http://readingfartoomuch.blogspot.com/2011/11/response-to-when-it-happens.html |
I read Joanna's post When it Happens and i loved it. She was fun and creative. Also, she added really good detail and opinion. Her post connected with me and made me read it over and over again. One of my favorite parts of her post was the beginning paragraph. She started by saying her weakness. But not just in any way, i felt like she was opening up to the reader and made the post very welcoming. She puts opinion and a tiny bit of advice and makes it very convincing.I loved Joanna's post.

"perfect"
In the book The Truth about Forever by Sarah Dessen Macy is dealing with the awful truth about life, that nothing lasts forever, not even our parents. She also deals with this truth hen her boyfriend tells her he wants to spend some time apart.
"It's just that . . . I just think that some things are meant to be broken. Imperfect. Chaotic. It's the universe's way of providing contrast, You know? There has to be a few holes in the road. It's how life is." I agree with this statement being imperfect is a fact tat we all have to deal with. No one is perfect. You can try as hard as you want but we all have our flaws. Our flaws are what make us who we are. They are what make us the person we are today, they build up our personality. If we didn't have flaws we wouldn't learn anything because by making mistakes we learn more and more.Everyone learns from their mistakes. For example, to ride a bike you need to fall at least once before you get the hang of it. As a baby you learn to walk and as an adult you can still trip.
"but if everything was always smooth and perfect,"she continued."you'd get too used to that, you know? you have to have a little it of disorganization now and then. Other wise, you'll never really enjoy it when things go right." I can't picture life without mistakes because i make them everyday.Now that i think about it if everything were right then after a while it will get boring. Everyone makes mistakes from putting the wrong answer on the test even though you knew the right one, to forgetting your homework at home. It happens, but there is nothing you can do about it.

Role Model
People have various Role models in life. In my book The Truth about Forever by Sarah Dessen Macy, the main character is a role model. She does things that make someone want to be just like her. People could look up to her due to her characteristics and actions.
One reason why i think that Macy is a role model is because she works hard and that shows me that with a little determination and hard work you can succeed."When i'd tell her i was studying, or doing some work for school, she'd exhale so loudly i'd have to hold the phone away from my ear". It's normal to me that she is doing homework on friday because maybe she wanted to get it over with but she is studying and i'm pretty sure she does not have a test on saturday. I think that she just works hard and wants to do well in school so she studies whenever she can to maintain good grades."So i'd swear that i was going out the next night, and then she'd tell me she loved me, and the i'd hang up and go back to my SAT book, or my ironing, or the paper that wasn't due for another two weeks."i'm pretty sure that most kids don't work on their paper two weeks before its due maybe a week to a week and a half before its due. Macy is just jam packing her self with things to do so that she is never left with nothing to do. To top it off these things aren't like watching television or playing video games they are actual work.
Another reason why i think Macy is a role model is because she is caring.she cares deeply for her family. For example, she speaks about her father a lot not only because he died but also because she cares. She talks about the memories she holds closest to her heart about him the ones that she treasures the most. She also cares for her sister "you're going to get in trouble.""Caroline."When her sister sneaks through her window during the night she tries to stop her because she doesn't want her to get hurt. When time passes by she starts to worry. All because she cares. How would you like her as a role model?
