The book I'm currently reading is the second book in the Hunger Games Series, Catching Fire. The first book was truly remarkable and the second is also very good so far.
The character I favor is not who everyone favors. Everyone loves Katniss Everdean and although i do like her Peeta Mellark is my absolute favorite.
He will do anything for love. For his love of his life, Katniss. She may not love him back, but he doesn't care. He will look after her for as long as they shall both live. He saved her once in the Hunger Games and now that they have to go back in for the Querrell Quartile he is set on saving them both again. On the other hand Katniss is set on saving him.
Peeta is a truly remarkable person. He has a giant heart and is nice to everyone. Even Gale who is the guy Katniss loves. Peeta doesn't hate Gale or try to hurt him in any way. I guess he tries to hurt him with kindness? If so it seems to work. No one doesn't like Peeta. He is nice to everyone and looks after everyone. He is strong willed and talented too. He has a passion for art and can draw magnificently according to what it tells you in each book.
So far he is alive and is my favorite, I have to keep reading so I find out what happens to him and if he will still be my favorite.

Romeo and Juliet is legit my favorite book. Or atleast one of them. It tells the cute story of true love. Romeo and Juliet's parents may hate each other but they dont hate each other.
From the moment they first laid eyes on each other it was unexpected. Romeo had gone to that party in search of making Rosaline notice him and fall in love with him. As soon as he saw juliet, Rosaline was old news. He even took off his mask revealing who he was. He danced with her and had the courage to go up to her and charm her. He kissed her and spoke with such words you would dream to hear.
Juliet on the other hand was not there for Romeo. It was mandatory for her to go to that party because her parents were the ones throwing it, but she was looking for Count Paris. Her mother and father made arrangements for her to marry count Paris if she desired. Her goal that night was to look for him. But once she saw Romeo you could tell the sparks flew.
They both shared that connection that everyone dreams to have with someone. They knew not of each other but with a simple look it was as if they had seen each other a million times before. I wish i had what they have. an unspoken love connection, it just runs through them. When they see each other its as if all of taylor swifts songs play on repeat (even know she wasnt alive then haha)

Dear Friend,
I like this book of Romeo and Juliet. The language may be hard to understand and confusing, but once you read the definitions it all becomes clear. Romeo is my favorite character. He has a love and he will do anything and go to extents like attending the Monty's party just to see her. He speaks of her so kindly and wants her more than anything, it's so cute.
Juliette is also a very nice character. She is having sort of an arranged marriage, but in two years to a prince. Her parents approve of the guy. I think she is way too young to get married. She hasnt even met other guys yet and her parents are already trying to set her up when she's only 12. I think she should make a decision her self.
Well bye! i havent read enough to add on.

Shakespeare's Sonnet 75
This sonnet is about someone's love for another person. It describes how they cant go a day without them by comparing them to food or to money depending on who the person is. So love is the theme. Shakespeare I feel puts his true feelings and thoughts into his sonnets and makes them somehow connect to his plays like romeo and juliet, again with love being the main thing in both things.
I chose this sonnet of Shakespeare's because it seemed the more challenging than the others. It was hard to decipher and put into my words using ten syllables but i did it and i think it helped me to look beyond just regular love but to look deeper and see how much he really cares for this person. The words he used and the metaphors he used all describe true un-dying love. one that cant be replaced and never grows old.

Sonnet
My darling you send me to another place.
Oh when I see you my heart skips a beat.
It is like ive gone into outerspace.
It is hard to walk to the right beat.
So maybe I think that our love is true.
You are the light thats is shining brightly.
Oh baby it is just the thought of you.
That makes everyday just as lovely.
You love me too its a matter of fact.
My hearts about to burst into pieces.
Oh it must be true, it was in our pact.
You are the one to put me together.
You are my sunshine my lovely darling.
I wont let go you're my everything.

Poems
(haiku) Poetry Is...
Poetry is words,
Strung together by feelings.
It is life, summed up.
What Happens To An Isolated Person?
Do they go
Insane?
Or stay the same?
Are they really
alone?
Can you reach them?
Talk on the phone,
Message on the computer?
They need a friend,
To find them.
Can you be there?
Migrant Mother Photo
What is next?
Have I let my family
down?
I try. I try.
To help.
Where will we end up?
So many questions,
not to many
answers.
I try. I try.
To help.
I look out,
at the
vast
open land.
What has happened?
My forehead,
filled with crinkles
and wrinkles.
I will. I will.
Keep my children
Safe and Sound.

Artwork/Artist post
Dorothea Lange, born on the 26th of May in 1895 and died on the 11th of October in 1965. She was born and grew up in Hoboken, New Jersey. As a kid she caught a disease called polio. She had to walk with a limp for the remainder of her life. Although she did have to do that she still said that her damaged foot made her work hard and made her stronger and more understanding. She took so much pride in herself that she took a photo of her foot one day and kept it ever since. ONce she was out of college she wanted to be a photographer, even though she didnt know how to even use a camera. She wanted to be a photographer because of her imagination and her interest in people. She left New York and went to California. She met a western painter named Maynard Dixon and eventually got married to him in 1922. Over time she has two boys with him John and Dan. Her relationship didnt go well and she got separated from him while sending her boys to boarding school. She met a guy named Paul Taylor and he convinced her to have her first show at a small California gallery in 1934. She got married to Paul Taylor in 1935. She lived a long life full of photography and eventually died of cancer in her esophagus.
Dorothea Lange became a photographer during the time of the great depression. Most of her photos are of the different families she came across during the great depression. The photos are all in black and white. They all show the struggle people went through, and how worried they were because they didn't know what was next. She loved taking pictures with this one camera of hers. It was big and bulky and hard to carry but she loved it any way. She said that with that camera it made her steady herself and take the time to focus on what she was taking a picture of.
The picture I focused on was called Migrant Mother and was taken in 1936. It was a black and white photo of a mother during the great depression. She's sitting with her hand to her mouth showing stress. Her kids are around her and it's like she cant see them or she doesn't notice them. You can see the creases or wrinkles on her forehead. Her mouth looks like its frowning a bit, and her eyes look sad. Her clothes look raged and layered. The whole picture looks a bit dirty. The woman's face and her childrens arms looked shades of gray. You can tell the depression affected many people and in this photograph you may not be able to see where they are living or what they are living in but you can see the concern and worry and hurt that hits through the mothers eyes and slight frown. This photo is very powerful and is claimed to be one of the most famous pictures of the depression.
