In the beginning of Breaking Dawn, the fourth and final book to the Twilight series, Edward and his beloved Bella finally get married. They honeymoon to a small island called 'Isle Esme' in South America. Isle Esme is the island that Carlisle had given Esme as a gift. While they are there, the newly weds do everything possible. They snorkle, they hike, they swim with dolphins, everything. But one night in the middle of the night, Bella woke up and was feeling very ill. She tried to eat something, but it just tasted awful. She then tried to go back to sleep, but she couldnt. When Edward came back home the next morning (he had been hunting during the night), Bella ran right to him and told him about how she was feeling. Mid sentence, she ran to the bathroom and got sick. That wasnt the last time she got sick that morning, either. Edward called Carlise immediatley. He explained to him what was wrong with Bella. He also told her that Bella had noticed a strange bump on her stomach that had not been there the day before. The prognosis was that she was pregnant.
They came home immediatley. Bella was getting weaker every minute, and her stomach was ballooning. Since this baby was half human, half vampire, it was not only taking all the good things from Bella, but it was also drinking her blood. She was getting worse and worse. Finally, Carlisle had an idea, one in which he had taken from Jacob, who was also sitting right by Bella's side now. It was to drink blood, since that is what the baby wanted. When this began, Bella immediatley started getting better. The funny thing was that she even said that it was tasting and smelling good to her. All the vampires in the room agreed that this was a good thing, for in only a short time, would Bella be a vampire herself.

All my sons-movie vs.book comparrison-OR #21
The book 'All my sons' was about a man, Joe Keller and his family. Joe's son, Larry had gone missing 3 years ago and his ex-fiance was in town to visit. What he and his wife didn't know was that she, Ann, and Joe's other son, Chris, had plans to be married. They had chosen not to tell them yet because Chris' mother, Kate, still believe that Larry would return.
Long story short, Joe and Kate and everyone for that matter later found that Larry had died, he wrote Ann about it. He killed himself because his father, Joe, and Ann's father, George were selling brokenm airplane parts and had killed 21 of his men. Joe at the end also kills himself because he finds that his own son killed himself because of the acts he had committed.
We recently read the book in class, and then watched the movie. The movie surprising was just how i pictured it in the book. I very much so enjoyed the movie, and the book for that matter. The stroy was very suspenseful, yet sad at times. I felt sorry for Joe. No father would intensionaly kill their child (unless of corse they were mentally disabled). Because Larry died on account of what he had done, he took his own life for punishment. At the same time though, I feel that he deserved it. He knew what he was doing. He could have prevented those broken airplane parts from being sold and then from being used and then from KILLING 21 men. But all he said was that he did it because of the buisness. If he hadn't sold them, he would be out of a job. There was alot of controversy in this book/movie. In all, Joe got what he deserved, and everyone else finally heard the end of Larry's mysterious disapperence those long, 3 years ago.

Movie: "It's a Wonderful Life"-OR #20
"It's a wonderful life" is about a man named George Bailey. George had always been known as a great person. As a child, he did many good deeds that saved alot of peoples lives and such. His father, Mr.Bailey, owned a bank with his brother, Billy. George was expected to take over the business when he got older, even though that was not what he wanted to do.
After George graduated, he decided to work for a while to get money for college. Unfortunately, when it was finally his time to go to college, his father suddenly died and he immediatley had to take over the bank. He gave his college money to his brother instead.
As about 4 years past, George got married to a woman named Mary. Mary and he had known eachother or a long time. The day the married, they were going to honeymoon to NYC, when th bank suddenly crashed and George had to give everyone a loan. He had $1000 for his honeymoon, but had to use all of it to give to people for loans.
Years past, and George and Mary had 4 children. Things in the back were not going great, but George still made enough to keep a steady lifestyle for him and his family.
One day, George had given Billy $8000 for the bank. Billy accidently lost it though, and made it seem as though he and George had imbezeled it. George was so angry, that when he got home, he just exploded with anger at his entire family. Mary didn't understand what was wrong with him.
George decided to go for a drive then. He didn't even think of where to park his car when he stopped to get out by the river, he just left in the middle of the road. George looked down into the river and was seriously considering jumping, when he saw someone else jump in. Clarence was his name, and he was George's guardean angel. Clarence told George that he jumped in to save George. They talked for a while, and then George said something he never should have said: he said 'I wish I had never been born." And with that, Clarence made it so.
The two went through a serious of places throughout the town. Nobody knew who George Bailey was, and everything was different. There was no Bailey Bank, people that he had saved their lives when he was younger never had been saved, etc. George saw what it was like not to have lived and saw how much he had imacted peoples lives. He told Clarence he wished to be alive again, and Clarence made it so. George was then happy again. He ran to his family.
While George had been out, Mary was so worried about him, she went and told everyone in town to contribute money to help George. Because everyone cared so much about him, everyone contributed. George was going to be arrested because of the strange money loss, but even the policemen that were going arrest him gave money. They realized that George didn't commit a felony, but that he was a good man. It truly is a wonderful life.

Spotlight: Loyce Houlton's "Nutcracker Fantasy" OR post #19
Loycs Houton's "Nutcracker" has been an enjoyed show for many years. It is about a young girl that gets a beautiful Nutcracker for Christmas from her uncle. During the night, the Nutcracker magically comes alive and the young girl and he go through a series of events together throughout the night. Some of the events include visiting the sugar plum fairy, or batteling with the rat king.
The Nutcrakcer has always been one of my favorite stories. I've seen this play many times. I actually have a friend who participates in Loyce's show.
The show runs through Christmas, and has been going for about 2 weeks now. The people in the show must be quite busy!! I hope I get the pleasure of seeing it again this year!

Antonia-Song for OR post #18
The song "Antonia" by Motion City Soundtrack is a song that the lead singer wrote for his wife. In the song, he quotes her favorite things and says little jokes that they have. My favorite line is "She's really into snow mobiles. She drinks alot of chardonnay." I like this line because it reminds me of my cousin and my mom. My cousin also have a weird obsession with snow mobiles, and my mom always has a glass of chardonnay when we go out to dinner.
Thee song continues, and he later refers to their wedding, their new daughter, and what happened when his wife's father passed away. This song is really cute in my opinion. It shows how much he really loves her, and knows her!!
I only can hope that when i get married someday that I have a guy that writes a song as cute and special and the song, "Antonia."

Eclipse OR post #17
Now that the fight was over, and in Bella's mind, enough damage had been done, Bella finally decided to let Alice plan Edward and her wedding. Alice was just extatic. She immediatley began to plan. She found the perfect dress for Bella and made the invitation just as Bella would have wanted them to look like. Bella also descided that she wanted to be a vampire no later that August 13th, their wedding night. Edward didn't quite understand why Bella was suddenly letting everything happen everyone else's way. The only explination he could get out of Bella was that she just wanted to make everyone else happy.
Edward didn't like this, though. He wanted Bella to be happy. He didn't care about anyone else but Bella. If she wasn't happy, then he wasn't either.
Bella explained to him that all she wanted was to be his, and forever his. No matter what she had to do, or get others to do, she was going to be his forever and always. There was no way to describe the love Bella had for Edward, and the love Edward had for Bella.

Eclipse OR post #16
The fight was finally over. Jacob unfortuantely had been severely hurt in the fight. ecause he was a werewolf, he healied incredibly fast. Because of this, his bones set improperly.
When Bella went home before going to La Push, Charlie had just arrived. He told Bella that before she went off and did anything big, getting married for example, that he wanted to know so that he could give her a big "good-bye" hug. Bella agreed.
When Bella arrived at Billy and Jacob's home, Billy sent Bella into Jacob's room. Carlisle said that it would be best for Jacob to recover at home.
Just as Bella had assumed, Jacob had been expecting her. They conversed about his pain and how he was feeling. Then, Jacob asked about how Edward had reacted to Bella kissing Jacob and actually wanting to. Bella told him that he was fine and that he wasn't upset with her.
Jacob was disturbed by this. He had hoped that Edward would have at least yelled at Bella. Jacob loved Bella so much. And Bella loves Jacob. They both agreed that in a perfect world, they would end up together. Bella is in love with her Edward though. She told Jacob that if ever her needed her for anything, that she was just a phone call away. Jacob was not sure if he wanted to stay in contact with Bella after this, for he knew that it would be incredibly hard for the both of them, especially after Bella was married and was a vampire. They love eachother so much, but Bella couldn't live without Edward. And Jacob knew that.
