so this weekend was really funn and it was a good mothers day to !! i got my mom a car and wrote her the heart-felt letter that she wanted. my dad and i and my little sis combined money and we all took my mother shopping so she could get what she wanted.  We also took her out to eat. We went to House of Japan and it was really yum-o lol..saturday i got to relax for the first weekend since track season started and thats a long time ! It felt so good to just lay down and chill with no nervousness of track meets and preparing for events.  But relaxing didn't take my mind off of the pain ive been having since i started track.. i think something is wrong with my back because i kinda feel like an 88-year-old woman lol. everytime i bend over for a couple seconds, or sit down for a few minutes, or run a race, my lower back hurts really badly : (... my track coach said i lean forward to much when i run and i guess it puts a strain on my back... hopefully i can stop doing that or im gonna end  up addicted to ibueprophin or however you spell it lol i talked to the trainer and he said even lean forward when i walk.. YIKES i need to get that together ! the next time you see me walkin ill be talkin to the ceiling cuz im not tryna have back aches ! lol i hope the next book we do doesnt put me and everyone in the class to sleep like to documentary thingy did ! lol im done peace & love : )

soooo tired i almost forgot to blogg this weekend ! GASP ! lol but i am so sick ! : / it started off as a really small throat acke and it got so much worse throughout the week : ( so upset .. i hav to miss some school tommorrow so i can go to the doctor cause i cannot feel like this and get through the day at school and not even to mention track practice YIKES.  but speaking of track.. thursday and friday i had a track meet all the way in Dayton so i gad permission to skip the end of 7th period and my whole 8th period so i could leave early so we could get there in time. yay ! i got 2nd in 100m hurdles but i didn't make it to finals because my time was to slow and they were taking the 8 fastest times.  My hurdle buddy Chrishna make it though! i was happy for her she got 2nd in the finals, i was so proud ! : ) lol friday was finals and they didnt start until 6:00 so the meet ran late. i had to run 300m hurdles which no one in the world likes ( unless your insane) but i still got my PR and got 2nd in my heat : ) so i guess the long day was all worth it !! peace & love !! ; )

so ths week went by pretty fast and this year is starting to come to and end.. it feels like just yesterday was the beginning of the school year and now its the last quarter of my sophomore year. wow.  i definitely feel like a sophomore than i did at the beginning of the year though.  my weekends have been long and draining since i started track... even though i love track it takes up a lot of time and hard work..hopefully itll all be worth it when i get a scholarship someday..hopefully...but ive been really wanting to have some funn with friends since every saturday i tired because of the long track meets, but my prego mom is going nutss... its so annoying when your not in trouble, you get good grades, you help take care of your bratty and annoying little sister, help your pregnant female doggy mom, and you still don't get a little break to go shopping with friends and a little get together..sighhh... why isnt life fair? hopefully Julius Caesar will take my mind off the depression.. peace & love...

The Creative Style of Love

The Creative Style of Love

        Dear reader,

    In this blog, you can expect to read about finding love.  Love in the death of the main character’s older brother, and the best friend that sat by his side as he died without control of the situation.  In the book, the main character Cora learns the real personality of her deceased brother, Nate. When he was alive, they had nothing in common and he would always cause trouble at home as well as in school. They found a common thread in art and she was amazed by the beauty Nate had created from all of the destruction he had made. On the way of getting to know her brother, she finds love in the person who was sitting in the car with Nate the night of the car accident, Damian.  Cora also falls in love with all of the great times her and Nate had together as kids.  Cora also learns to love being in her own skin as she enters high school and finds who she really is.  As her family grieves, she turns to her friends for support and when her best friend finds another clique, she finds someone named Helena who has her best interest at heart.  When her family can finally get over their grief to talk to each other, love helps them handle the loss of Nate.  

Sincerely,

Ta’Ven

    “The hardest thing to do is watch the one you love, love someone else.”

Eulogy

Nate, my brother was a kind hearted soul stuck in troubled ways.  Nate always seemed like the bad child who was disrespectful in class, at home and everywhere in between.  I was always the silent bystander and I found out I really never knew my brother all that well.  When I got to know his partner in crime, I learned how artistic and creative he really was.  All of the destruction he made was to build something much more beautiful.  When I reflect on our childhood, I always will remember how Nate would take me to the swimming pool, the park playground, and the baseball field.  All of the time he spent with me, saving me, playing me, finding me, will never be replaced.  I have now seen all of the things that are in him in me.  I wouldn’t have gotten to know my brother like this if this tragedy wouldn’t have happened.  I am saddened, but I am truly thankful.  Thank You.

"Like branches on a tree we grow in different directions yet our roots remain as one. Each of our lives will always be a special part of the other."

Obituary

    Yesterday around 9:51 pm, the life of teenager Nathaniel Bradley was taken in a tragic car accident.  He was in his car with his best friend Damian that night.  Nathaniel was driving and was coming from his home in Lincoln Grove.  Apparently, he had no headlights on. From police reports, the family says there was a big argument before the incident and he got his keys and sped off.  There was no alcohol involved I the accident.  When interviewed, best friend, Damian, said he repeatedly told Nathaniel to pull over and put on his headlights. Nathaniel ignored Damian and continued his way down the road until he hit a tree.  The car is totaled and disfigured.  Just in that instant, a best friend, brother, son, and boyfriend were lost.  The wake and funeral will be held at 1234 Hidden Avenue.

Children’s Story with Illustrations

At the park, my brother and

I would always play on the

tire swing!

   

      Out in a barn, my brother

and I would play hide and

seek in the corn stalks!

My family and I would always go

to football games together and

scream and shout with our blankets

and hot chocolate!

This is my dead brother’s car

after his car accident…

Self Reflection

    In the book, ‘A Map of the Known World’, no one knew how Nate really was.  Nate always showed the crazy, wild, and rebellious side of himself that no one ever saw his softer and more artistic side.  In the eulogy, Cora got to show everyone who Nate really was.  She was able to share all of the memories she had with him.  

I picked an obituary because it shows what exactly happend to Nate.  The obituary help to explain what happen the night Nate had his accident.  It describes the emotions and situations he dealt with at home.  It also helps the reader understand a little bit of what Damian felt and how he reacted to the situation.  

Next, I chose a children’s book with illustrations. I chose children’s book wit illustrations because it helped to match imagery with the events in the story with the relations of the main character and her deceased brother.  Children’s books are usually joyfully and happy and using a children’s book structure enabled me to have the reader look at death in a positive way.

I chose to include a collage in my project beacuse it gives life to words in the story.  My collage helped tell the story of a human life and all of the things it includes.  A human life usually includes of accidents, love, relationships with others and death and departure.  Sometimes in life, all you can do is be a bystander when events are happening. Things aren't always easy to find out of, sometime you have to play hide-and-seek to know.

The Crazy Man :OOOO

                            One thrilling and misty night, The Smiths, a young a vibrant couple, decided to go out.  Their babysitter Mimi, who lived just down the block, had been babysitting their son Jack for about a year.  Around that same time, The Crazy Man, who had been lurking around the area for nearly 5 years, had been caught and put into a mental institution.  Mr. Smith's brother, Larry, didn't have a family or kids like him so he was a jealous man.  He had gone missing for the last 6 years. On that particular night, The Crazy Man escaped from the Lake View Mental Institution.  After feeding Jack, the Smiths went to pick up Mimi and dropped her off at their house.  The Smiths left and Mimi put Jack in the tub to prepare him for bed.  The house creaked while Mimi read Jack's bedtime story; the house was newly made and was settling.  Mimi heard knocks but ignored them as if they were a regular sound coming from the house.  The knocking continued, getting louder and more aggressive.  Tension built until the door bell rang.  It was Uncle Larry standing there in the door way.  Mimi stood in the doorway holding the baby asking who this stranger was.  Uncle Larry announced his presence and ran in and held Jack.  Mimi closed the door as Uncle Larry explained his situation.  Uncle Larry seemed like a nice, excited and enjoyable person.  He continued to play with Jack as they all sat and watched t.v.  Mimi and Uncle Larry both froze when they saw that The Crazy man was back on the loose.  After a while, Mimi suggested Jack go to sleep; it was getting bast his bedtime.  Mimi finishes Jacks bedtime story upstairs as Uncle Larry makes himself at home in the guest bedroom downstairs.  Mimi finally gets Jack to bed and goes downstairs in the dining room and starts her homework while sealing her headphones into her ears to listen to her ipod.  Uncle Larry wanders upstairs to the bathroom and come back down to go to sleep in the guest room.  With Uncle Larry sleepy and restless in the guest room, knocks send Mimi to open the door.  When Mimi opened the door, there stood a 6 foot, 6 inch man of anger, wildness, and craziness.  He had a muddy all-white patient uniform on and thick black boots.  His face was the scene of revenge and 1,000 beatings. Without a word, he stormed in, pushing Mimi clear to the floor.  He mumbled, "Jack", and started for upstairs.  Mimi jumped up and ran after him with a broom swatting at The Crazy Man until he turned around and snapped the broom in  half.  He threw it at Mimi and she started to fall. Taking him down with her, they struggled on the floor until Mimi reached a knife.  The Crazy Man's body laid on the floor pale, and motionless.  Mimi darted upstairs to find nothing but blankets and a teddy bear in Jack's crib.  Confused, she hurried downstairs to wake Uncle Larry.  When she opened the door and turned on the light, she saw nothing but gore.  Uncle Larry was bathed in Jack's blood and his body parts were thrown lazily under the bed.
