I decided to post on Lindsay's blog about her top favourite artists because one of them, I agree with. I also enjoy David Guetta. I like that his music is not like every other artists. He's unique and always comes up with something different.

I thought it was appropriate to comment on Bella's post of the places she has travelled too. You can see that she has traveled quite alot, and some of the places that she has been to I have always wished to see. Such as California, New York, Hawaii, and the Bahamas.

I agree with Ashleigh here where she believes that you shouldn't have to write exams for the courses that your take. It stresses you out, and makes you nervous. Nothing good comes out of them!

Reading Reflection 7

Book- The Burn Journals
Author- Brent Runyo
Pages read- 290-305

Comments:

1. I like the idea of Brent being able to play regular sports just like everyone else now. Such as when he's fighting with his dad, or playing Wallyball, which is just like Volleyball. It seems as if he's a normal kid again. Considering the author doesn't talk about people having to go easy against him, or him having special advantages during the sports that he plays. It is nice to see, like I've said several times, how much he has recovered. Who new he'd be able to going back to where he once was, enjoying his life.

2. "Okay, so I can use my hands, arms, and legs. I can think. I can walk. I can talk. I'm fifteen. I'm alive. Life's pretty good. It's pretty good." -Brent (pg.292)

The quote he says here and the end of the chapter complete relates to what I had said in the first comment. Not only is he physically better, but he is emotionally better. He's happy, and thinking positive.


Questions:

1. I wonder how long it will take until Brent is completely ready to attend school once again. Even until now he is still somewhat nervous, and doesn't enjoy when his parents bring it up. He questions himself. "Could I do it, like, a little at a time?" I'm sure it will be awkward, and nerve racking for the first day. People will stare at him and talk about him, but eventually, people will get over it. If he is back to normal again, I don't see why he can't being going to school again. Eventually, he will have to go back.

Predictions:

I currently don't have any predictions, considering I'm practically at the very end of my book. One chapter left, and it's only obvious that he will be going back to school in the last chapter. My prediction at one point was for him to be normal once again, and attend school. Which is what is currently happening.

Personal Addition 19

This is a picture I took from the very top of the ferris wheel at the ex. It was night, the amusement park was closing soon. The weather was warm. I found it a beautiful picture to take.

Personal Addition 18

This is a picture of the lake that my cabin is on, West Hawk Lake. My favourite place in the world to go. It is the perfect place to get away from noisy cars, traffic, school, and everything else that you dislike about Winnipeg.

Personal Addition 17

A henna tattoo I got at a fair near my cabin. I think it is the neatest henna I have ever had, giving it a good reason to be blogged.

Personal Addition 16

I decided to blog this photo because it shows one of my favourite hobbies that I may have not mention on my blog before. I love to snowboard, I could snowboard everyday if I was able too. I find it peaceful, like you in your own little world, especially when you have your headphones in while going down. Even though your friend may be going down the hill beside you, or in front of you, it is still an individual sport that only you can change to get better or not yourself. I have been snowboarding for several years now, and not once has it got boring. I only wish I lived somewhere closer to a bigger ski area, maybe even a mountain.

I thought this personal addition that Bella posted was extremely creative. Like I said in my comment, I don't know anyone else with a name who can physically draw out like Bella's name. For example my name, Cheyenne, would be quite hard to draw.

I decided to post a comment on this particular post because Lindsay and I have this in common, where we both agree that the Hard Rock Cafe is one of the most spectacular restaurants to go too, even if we were not at the exact same one. That fact that they are all over the word is mind blowing.

The reason I thought it would be appropriate to comment on this one particular post, was because one time last year Hugh and I actually went to the back of the school to through a Frisbee, where he was the expert, while I had no idea what I was doing. So I proved him wrong where he said that nobody was jealous of him playing Ultimate as a sport in his Six Word Memoirs.
