Back Together?

Authors' Note: This piece is about how well I can demonstrate point of view from another ones observation.

Have you ever been through I break up? Ever heard the words, maybe we can be friends, or don’t ever talk to me again? Throughout your life, these words will be recognized every day, either hearing them from a friend, or even being the person saying those words.  In the song “We are Never Getting Back Together,” written by Taylor Swift, she shows how these words, can me nothing to her. Taylor is an idol to many young people. She literally shows us, how this relates to our own lives, and not just hers.

  

Baby, I miss you and I swear I'm gonna change. Trust me, remember how that lasted for a day I say, I hate you, we break up, you call me, I love you. As Taylor mocks her ex boyfriend, she teaches us that we shouldn't just listen to the words, we should understand them. She may have loved him, but in reality, things don’t always go your way. Their relationship was a repeating motion. If this song was written as the guy’s point of the view, the song could have a whole new meaning. 

Dear Taylor,

I remember when we broke up, THE FIRST TIME. I can't take this anymore, I need my space. Maybe we just need a break?

July 14

JULY 29(On the phone)

Boy: Baby, I miss. I swear I’m gonna change! Trust me?

Taylor: I remember how that lasted for a day.

Boy: But I Still love you!

Taylor: We are never ever, ever, getting back together.

You can tell that Taylor doesn't buy his lame excuses. She doesn't even trust the fellow, but the guy’s point of view he thinks they will be back together within the snap of a finger. He has been sending her mixed signals, and Taylor doesn't know how to respond to it. This then might lead up to angry, upset, or even confused relationships, but most of all, them Never Getting Back Together.

As you can see, relationships are a pain, but if you truly love someone, you would risk getting hurt. You’re going to want to shrivel up like a raisin and ignore everyone that tries to talk. With a little encouragement from Taylor, you will be back on your feet and as new as freshly picked strawberries.

Personal Metahpors

Authors' Note: I wrote a bunch of adjectives and then thought of something that has most of these adjectives describing it.

I am a zebra. I'm outgoing and love to the center of attention, but I am also very shy around the people I don't know. I am very protective/defensive around friends and my family, and I love to be up and moving. I'm not very tall, but I'm very loud. I'm also a very bright person.

The Clique

Authors’ Note: In this piece I am going to be working on the cause and effect about the book “The Clique.”

            “The Clique”, is a great and well written book. It is really fun to read, it is like you’re almost the main character. The two main characters are Massie and Claire. One popular chick and one not so popular. It just doesn’t work out. In my opinion, the most important part of the book, is when Claire moved all the way from Orlando to Westchester. You will understand once you play attention.

            Massie was living the best life. All her friends were surrounding her, as always. Her black puppy, Bean, always by her side, but most of all a family that cares about her the most. Well that what I thought. Until old family friends, brings their daughter Claire, and live in her guest house? This ruins everything. Tears her best friends away from her! Massie job in this case, is make Claire’s life miserable. She wants to make sure she doesn’t have any friends, but by the first week at OCD, Massie’s planned worked out. Claire has no friends, and especially no sense in style.

            This wouldn’t have happened if Claire’s family wasn’t so close with Massie’s family. They both would have had their normal lives and normal friends. That didn’t happen though. Their dads just had to be friends in high school, and their parents just had to life right next to each other. Claire and her family might have wanted that, but Massie surely did not. Just imagine if their fathers weren’t even friends! Massie defiantly wish that would happen!

            As you can see, this serious of books look very interesting. Once you read them, you always wonder, What if this happened to me? What would my life be like if that actually happened. After reading a book like this, you will want to read over and over again. Then you will know why a popular girl and a non popular girl shouldn’t be together.

Peommm!

You're the thought in my head that starts each morning,
the conclusion to each day.
I vision you in all that I do,
and everything I say.

You're the smile on my face,
the sparkle in my eye.
the warmth inside my heart,
the sunshine in my life.

The only hand that's laced to mine,
the coat upon my back.
My best friend,
I will never turn back.

You're the dimple in my cheek,
the constant tingle in my soul.
the voice that makes me weak,
You're the one who hides me from the cold.

You're all I've wanted,
all that I need.
You're all I dream of,
You mean so much to me.

Our Song

Author’s Note: This piece is about a song that Taylor Swift wrote, and how it would be different if a guy told the story.

Our Song, by Taylor Swift, really can get to you. You can understand the lyrics by hearing it once. Taylor sings many songs, but this one is, by far, my favorite. This song is written in both points of view, but she’s the one telling us the fantasy of their love life. It would change drastically if Drew, the guy she wrote it about, was telling the story.

Taylor wrote this song when she was in ninth grade, and also when she was dating a guy, named Drew, and apparently, they didn’t have a “song”. So when the talent show came up, she wrote this song, that included her boyfriend, and sang it at the talent show. When she wrote the lyrics, she was trying to say, that she wanted them to have a song, and she was telling him how they don’t have a song. In the song, she wanted him to tell her that they had a song, and that it was something special.

Parts of this song are in Drew’s point of view, but they way he is telling her was more different, than she was probably expecting. Taylor’s saying that she wants a song, but he was telling her that everything they do together is the best song there could be. He was putting their memories into lyrics. He didn’t want some ordinary song, he wanted a individual kind of song. One that would bring chills to your back one everyone heard it. Especially one that meant the most to Taylor.

If Drew had sang this song, I think we all know that it would be a whole lot different. Even though it is in two point of views, Taylor was still the main person telling us what’s going on. If you think about it, songs can really change from point of views. You don’t know a song correctly, unless you know who is the outlook of this the outlook of the story.

Prediction

Authors: This piece is my prediction, like what I think is going to happen in the book called "Lucky".

In the first couple of chapters in the book "Lucky", written by a really good writer, Rachel Vail. Phoebe, the main character, starts as just a regular girl, living a regular life. In the eighth grade with the end of the year coming up and graduation right around the corner, she finds the perfect green dress, she also might have fine her dream guy, things just keep getting better and better! Wait, did i say things are getting better? I meant worse! Her favorite green dress it out of stock, she loses all 3 three of her best friends?! What's going on? Not so lucky anymore, huh? 

When I read this story, I can actually get into it. Like I am one of the main characters. Sort of like I  could predict what is going to happen next. When I was predicting, I think that she would get all her friends back, get the guy of her dreams, and most importantly, get that green dress. I am downright positive she will get that green dress. She has been looking at it for about a little over a year now. If anything, she will just work for the money to buy it. I mean she already thinks that is what’s going to happen. That guy, you know the soccer player, will want her back. The only reason they didn’t like each other in the first place, is because of Phoebe best friend, Kristyn. You can’t always let friends come between relationships, it just isn’t right.

     I also know my prediction will be true about getting her best friends, only because no one just losses their best friends for not agreeing on who to invite to the party. I thought they were getting all worked up for nothing. If they really cared about each other, they would be friends with everyone, and not just pick favorites. These reasons are in many different books, and even movies. To many to even think about. .

In conclusion, let us just say, that in the future, you will not get everything you want. You can keep those wishbones and eyelashes, but not also keep what you dream of. Oh, and don’t let friends come between other friends. It isn’t any of their business, it’s yours. Otherwise, this is a great book so far, and I would defiantly recommend it.

Theme

Author's Note: This piece about 3 different themes that come into the book, "Touching Spirit Bear".

Touching Spirit Bear is a well writing book by Ben Mikaelsen. It’s a great book for people who like violence. I would defiantly recommend this story to others. It really gets you going. It’s your there with him in the settings, making all these decisions. I would say that bravery and courage is the major theme in this book, but there is also survival and choices, for many different reasons.

I believe that the major themes in “Touching Spirit Bear” is courage and bravery. Cole, the main character,  has the courage to try and fight a tremendous white bear, for food, which leads on to him being partly dead. How many people to you know that will be brave enough to try and fight a bear for survival food. Survival is another one on our list, that comes up in this book a lot. He survives the bear attack, on an island, with no food! That’s bizarre.

Aside from courage and bravery, choices and decisions are another big theme in this book. We all have to make them, some good and some bad. His, on the other hand, were bad ones. He decided to throw some innocent kids face into the ground! That is an atrocious decision. Then he has the choice of either going to jail, or go live on an island and think about what he had done and why it was bad. Next on our list of decisions, he goes and tries to kill a colossal bear, which, of course, the bear will fight back, and almost kills him! 

I feel like this book relates to the “Hunger Games”. I mean there is tons, and tons, of bravery and survival, even a lot of decisions have to be made! Katniss sticks up for her little sister, who gets chosen to fight for District 12, and says, “Take me instead!” Her and Peeta, another person who gets chosen, fight for their lives. In that case, they would both make the decisions on how to survive.

In conclusion, as you may have read, bravery and courage, choices or decisions,and survival, play a big part in this book. Along with Cole and the immense white spirit bear. All these themes are actually a important part in life. One day you might come across a bear, and you might need to mimic Cole and how he used his skills to survive.
