Coming Home.

In the month of March not to long ago, a brother of mine named Aaron had made the decision to join the marines and was sent away to the state Hawaii. A gift that I'd die to have is him come home, and spending my Christmas or New Years with him. Being gone for two years seems like a lot, but time passed really quick and I'm excited for him to come back in March. Just wishing he could come and for me to be able to hug and catch up with him. That'd be a gift I could never forget and would really be grateful for. I miss you Aaron, and I hope you come home soon.

Quote.

 

This quote inspires me due to the fact where I've had to let go of somethings or people, and it was hard but knowing it was the right decision things didn't seem to be that bad. Soon enough opportunities came along and things began to fall place. I think this quotes means that don't be afraid to have to switch some things up that seem right to you at the moment, but you know it's actually wrong, let's say lik letting go, or changing something up, since something good could later then come along later and then give you even more of benefit, but also someone else. 

Apple Doesn't Fall Far From The Tree.

In the book "The Pregnancy Project" main character Gaby Rodriguez grew up with many saying she'd grow up to be a teen mom like many of her siblings including her mother. While reading she doesn't seem the type to actually have the state of mind of becoming a teen mom. She focuses on school, cares for not only herself but family, and tends to be an isolated person when it comes to interacting with many other people. Growing up having many responsibilities others didn't seem to take care of made her the independent girl she is now, which is indeed great thing, coming from her family. Outsiders having the thoughts and assumptions where she'd turn out to be the same due to the family "tradition" as they call in with becoming a teen mom. Seem to me that that's judge mental , and wrong since you never know if you could end up becoming a teen mom, or make some related decisions like they have. Thinking along the way of how hard it must been for Gaby growing up with the back and forth of moving from home to home, hearing the stories of how many of her sisters grew up without help from whom they'd had the baby with or even hearing arguments from mother and siblings. To me already half way thru the book it seems to me that Gaby has had it rough, I'm excited to see what happens upcoming more in the book.

Dia De Los Muertos.

In my heritage a day we celebrate iDia de Los Muertos. It takes place on October 31st and is held in honor of family or friends that have passed. Ways we celebrate is by having parades with dancers, music, masks with certain drawings that could represent certain things, and with prayers. In my family what we do is we all get together at my grandmas, put pictures of all the people that have passed and pray. We watch videos of those who have passed trying to remember them in the best way with no tears to shed. Of course some tears come out of us, but a day to remember those who have passed is worth it. Joy comes a long, memories are remembered, and family's are brought together.

Second Thoughts.

     Without intention sixteen year old Cheyenne Wilder had been kidnapped, being the daughter of a president of a powerful cooperation, needing prescription antibiotics for her pneumonia, to top it off? She was blind.

     Towards the middle of the book Griffin had already set Cheyenne in the room where she would stay while they figured what'd they do with not only the car but with her since she had came in it. Griffin fed Cheynne, checked up on her every once in a while, and he defended her. During the stay there, a guy that was working with Griffin and his father with the jobs, had tried to cross the line with Cheynne and touch her, that way. Griffin had came bursting into the room, and told him it wasn't right for him to do something like that to a little girl. Griffin cared about her, but the way the relationship with his dad was set up, he couldn't let them know or show that he did. Cheyenne made him realize a lot, how the house was always a mess, why Griffins mother had left and the struggle she had while being there. After realizing all those things, he realized the way that he had been acting wasn't him, he could do better. Debating with the other men he would think of not hurting Cheyenne in any way. The others thought killing her would be the solution, just the thought of leaving her there, helpess without knowing where to go made Griffin have second thoughts. I wonder, what he is to do when the times comes to make that decision.

The Inside of The Outsiders.

All in all the book was great, which is difficult for me to say due to the fact that I find it hard to read a book and actually finish it. A lot happened throughout the book which lead me to think that the theme of the story, was that no matter what your friends and family were always going to be there for you. What led me to think that this was the theme, was the help from certain characters of the story, the courage that they had for one another. Just the support throughout the book made me realize that someone, caress out you , no matter how tough, or hard they get on you. Dally with Johnny , Johnny with Ponyboy and also Darry. I can actually say in what it's like having to grow up with siblings, or friends, and that gave me an opportunity to gets better understanding of how Ponyboy would feel at times.my parents didn't exactly pass away but having to grow up with your brothers, their friends and people around the block came to feel at times I didn't even have parents at times. Anyways, all in all I think that the theme of this book was that family,friends,anyone that cares for you will always find a way to be there no matter how tough it gets. 

Outsider Thought.

In the chapter where Johnny & Ponyboy had fled from home, a thought I had along the process of reading it was that out of all the people Dally was the one out of all the ' gang ' to actually somewhat find to help the two boys in some way. Dally seemed like the type guy to not care about anything or anyone, but when it came to the ' gang ' it was as if he had a soft spot. Just like any other human though, someone or something has to mean a great amount to you which can cause you to put anything aside and focus on them or it.  This chapter really left me speechless at moments due to the amount of the things that were going on In a such a short period of time. This chapter was the type where I wanted to go back and make sure I got every bit of detail so I can make sure what happened really happened since I was actually surprised of what had happened. This chapter really got me into the book, making me want to go on and find out what was going on, that shows I actually began to find interest and that the author did good work being able to grab the readers attention.
