4th of July

     I havent read all of the book and im only up to the begining but the protaginist of my book is very violent and he likes to curse alot. That is kind of similar to me like i curse alot but i try to stop. He is a detective and he is a homicide detective. That something i dont want to be because im dealing with blood and death maybe even rape and that is something that would make me vomit but my protaginist can because he is good at.

      My protaginist even states in the story " im used to doing homicide but now i have a new partner" well i understand he is used to it but he doesnt like him because he walked pass his old partner and they just looked at eachother. If i was that person i wouldve either said hi or hay but if you have job you got to do what you got to do.
     
     My opoinion about my protagonist is that i dont like him for what he does because it is just the type of thing i dont like because it involves really heavy and intense kinds of visual. One thing i wont understand is that how is it possible to see this kind of stuff like because this stuff is really intense and involved rape to which was crazy.

What a Lier

      Josh walks down to the baseball field and catches Emma and her boyfriend Graham kissing and Graham touching Emma in certain places. First thing that comes to Josh mind is what is he doing thats not Emma or maybe it is well oh no its Emma i got to get out of here. From Emmas mind she is thinking that Josh shouldnt care because they are going out and it is what they would do but Emm doesnt relize that she has said something things about Graham that shouldve happen before the kissing or touching in certain places.

    As stated in the story Emma said " i dont really like Graham anymore and im gonna break up with him " as she had said to Josh. Well what I think about this quote in the story is that if you dont like him why would you be doing things like this and if you tell people that you dont like him and they find you doing this they would find it that you were just making a huge lie.

     Josh steps into Emmas room to talk to her and the first thing that Josh said was " so you like being felt up by guys before you break up with them hu i thought you were suppose to do that awhile ago what happen hu " and he looks at her. Emmas reaction was to get really angery and very pissed off. I agree with Emma about being angry that Josh would say that but then I agree with Josh about what he said because you said that you were gonna leave him but you dont and you do other things with him.

      My opinion on this quote and part of story is that it wasnt nice for Emma to lie to her friends about how she would break up with him but really didnt and then have your bestfriend find out that you just lied to them. To me that devistates me because i wouldnt think that Emma would lie but she did and now her consiquences are having to face her friends and knowing that she lied to them will devistate her friends.

Seeing the future

      Looking into the future would be the best thing for anyone, being able to rewrite the future would be a dream. If I were able to see the future i would make my life easy and rewrite everything to make myself rich. Josh and his friend Emma find something call Facebook its the future them but they think it is a prank. They find there lives bad or something wrong with it so they try to change it. Everyday the future her would update a status and write something stupid like " about to go make pancakes ".

   Emma would usually come home and run up to her room and go on facebook to see what else is going on in her future life. Then call Josh to tell him something new she would find and tell him to come over and check it out. Now if that was me i would not wanna come home and not pick up the phone or talk to her everyday like i would think this Facebook thing i crap but it is real nowadays.

     Now they are in high school and Josh kinda is uncomfortable being around her. Why would he be uncomfortable with Emma what is wrong with him, they have been freinds for decades. Emma had once called Josh to tell him what she found and she toll him she saw him on Facebook. Now he went crazy saying this was a prank and this and that. He tried as hard as you can to tell himself that everything on Facebook was wrong and that is where he wanted to know his future.

    He soon found he was married to this cute girl he liked and he started to like his future which Emma got mad about because he kept saying my life is good while her life ended up the wrong way . Now that is a friend who isnt fun or cool like who would sho of that a person life is better then another person life you will never understand what the other person has been through.

 To be able to recreate the future is a dream and that is something that i want to have but i dont get but Emma and Josh are allowed to recreate it so when they find out they recreate it they will be able to have better lives when they grow up. To have there lives would be a dream for me what about you?

Am I Blue by Bruce Caville

 
    Vince is a 16 year old boy who goes to high school and he gets picked on by a boy name Butch Carrigian and Vince is always being called a faggot and stuff. Later in the story Vince try to find out if he is gay or not? How does Melvin help out Vince throughout the story?

    Melvin appears in the beginning of the story trying to help out Vince. Trying to convince Vince that Melvin is a fairy godfather they head towards a cafe called Pete's. Melvin tells Vince about his story like how he became a fairy godfather he toll Vince " People called me a fairy all my life and when I died that is what I wanted to be.

    Vince had asked Melvin more questions like " what happen to you ". Melvin toll Vince what had happen to him he said " so I was walking by myself and three bruisers were calling me a faggot and had dragged me into an alley way and were saying they will teach me faggot and I remember coming face to face with a tire iron ". Melvin had soon toll Vince about the three wishes he got. But they were only to him.

     Melvin had soon toll Vince about the gaydar and how it shows who is gay or slightly gay or like really gay. It wasn't a wish said Melvin it is like something new you are learning. Vince had asked if he can use it and he had closed his eyes and when Vince had open then back up he saw who was gay or not. When Vince had went home he looked in the mirror and he was slightly blue. He had asked Melvin and he had said " you are one confused puppy you don't know what you want right now ".

     That day Vince knew what he was going to use one of his wishes one and he had asked Melvin to turn Butch Carrigian to be fully blue and Melvin said yes right away. Next day Butch was in blue, Melvin asked Vince what was he gonna use his last one he said " when i need it ill use it ".

    What i think about this passage is that it mean how in high school you can be picked on or be beaten up just for being gay or just being slightly gay. This passage connects to the world because it says that like no one should bully you for who and what you are and let no one take control over you.;
