Reading Log

I have been coming along on my goal of reading an entire book out loud, I have decided to read Beautiful Boy aloud. My purpose in reading aloud is to get better at it and to understand the book a little bit more. Although I have not gotten very far into it I feel like I have understood more and gotten more out of the book. I have been pretty occupied with reading AP Lit this week too but I have managed to find time to start reading To Kill a Mockingbird which is a book that I have wanted to read for a while now since everyone else has read it in sophomore english. I think it might also help on the AP Lit exam ith the free response essay which would be nice. So overall this week I have been kind of just reading a little bit of everything!

Reading Log

This past week I have finally gotten around to starting to read a book outloud, I decided to read another book about paramedic stories outloud because I feel like these types of shorter stories all within a book will add emotion to the case. I think that the stories are all very intersting and constantly have me thinking about going into the medical field. I have been reading a lot more than usual even though some of what I have been reading is for one of my english classes. I've also read a little bit more of The Missing Girls this weekend, I kind of forgot about that book for a while. Over the semester I have noticed that my preferences on genres have started to change a little bit and I would rather pick up say Jane Eyre than a Sarah Desson novel or a mystery.

This week I have been trying to finish The Summer I Turned Pretty and I am just about done! I plan on finishing it this weekend and picking up a new book at the library. I have been doing pretty good on my reading goals but I haven't started reading a book out loud yet, maybe I will do that with the next book I pick up. In my last post I said that I wanted to finish White Noise this week as well and I have only gotten to about page 110 so far but hopefully I can get a little bit more into that this weekend as well. I need a weekend to just relax and reading sounds like a great way to spend it. I am really enjoying White Noise because it focuses on the technology of the world it seems like. There are contrasting statements about the technology of different characters and I find the movement from having little to no technology to a massive amount very intriguing.

Notes 2 and 3

Glee-We Found Love
 In Glee's exciting rendition of "We Found Love" Will Shoester proposes to Emma Pillsbury of course with the help of his glee club and some synchronized swimmers. The bright and smiling faces of each of the actors in the scene convey a welcoming mood to the newly engaged couple. The red and white ruffled swim suits suggests a sense of love and youthfulness. The bright blue splashing pool water depicts an exciting unforgettable moment much like the summer spent at the pool for a teenage girl. Shy, Miss Pillsbury is nervously laughing as the engagement is about to take place demonstrating her reserved personality and how that one special guy was able to break through to her. The steady, rhythmic beats played in the energetic piece suggests the rhythm of love that is beginning to take off between the two about to be engaged.

Someone like you

The husky belting voice of Adele is captivating in telling the story of being without love in the music video "Someone Like You." The loud and hefty vocals that she projects about a discouraging lost love life is suggesting the rejected but still strong heart that Adele has within herself. The gloomy, dark, and almost depressing colors depict a sense of grief that is offset by the heartbroken singers contrasting shy and blasting volumes. The smooth blowing leaves on the trees at the beginning of the video create an ejected feeling before any of the story is told establishing a doleful woe that single women contains in any usual situation. The relaxed stroll through the park turns around the establishing thoughts by illustrating Adele as to be content with her life without a man for her to love conveying to young admirers of Adele all over the world that one does not need a boy to be happy.

Lately ive been starting a book and getting about half way through it and finding another book that looks more interesting to me. Of course with the exception of Catching Fire. I finished both the Hunger Games and Catching Fire pretty quickly and soon picked up Mockingjay which I just dropped around page 140, however I do plan to pick it back up soon! A lot of my friends recommended reading the summer i turned pretty [sic] and i got to around page 70 before I picked up Beautiful Boy which I havent gotten far in at all. I stayed in Fort Wayne for break and was bored one day so I started reading White Noise. That book has kept me pretty engaged so far and I hope to finish it this week.
