Stephen King On Writing

Stephen King On Writing so far is very descriptive. He makes me want to write something as well. King makes good sense of what he talks about and why he does it. In his future or after his childhood he talk about writing and how he got inspiration from other books or stories. For example on page 160 it states "Stylistic Imitation is one thing, a perfectly honorable way to get started as a writer." This shows that he gets inspiration from other books.


I have realized that he makes good connections with other stories. He explains that you could start anywhere. Anywhere that makes you comfortable. In the middle of the story he makes a explainable fact in the paragraph above. ""Stylistic Imitation is one thing, a perfectly honorable way to get started as a writer." This quote makes you know that you can start anywhere. Just a little inspiration can go a long way.

Stephen King On Writing

                        In the recent chapters of "Stephen King On Writing" He was explaining that pain was just one thing. He wants a theme to be out there for everyone to see or feel. There was this one chapter where he was saying how he felt when he used the bathroom at the wrong place. He used poison ivy to clean himself up. It did not end well and a very bad infection go to him. But in the mean time while that was happening he felt that life is pain. You feel it everyday even when you don't know it. He makes his movie of pain and sometimes he makes movies where he remembers where such acts happened in his life. He makes his theme of pain and how you should get over it.

                         His theme can explain that even though you have pain through your life; shouldn't mean you should forgive or forget it. He can make very explicit details of how he felt through his past and how they can connect today. As well as his family makes him go through tough times but he manages to make it out and feel good about it. I will have to read more of why or how he made his books and movies today.

Stephen King On Writing

My recent connections to this book so far is that Stephen went through a lot in his childhood. But all that pain came to a resolution to his life today. I go through a lot of pain when I was way younger. But at the same time I feel like pain can help me become stronger and even smarter. As well sometimes he describes how he doesn't remember the scene and thinks it was just a dream. To me I can connect how sometimes those sense make you feel like you were in just a dream. But in the end it  actually happened. This book so far is very interesting on how he made his career today.

My interests in this very book is that Stephen himself does not care of pain. I am always wondering why. I can as well can connect to this because even though I feel pain I still go on. Later I can relate how it felt. It feels good and it feels bad. It can be hard to forget the pain but, it should never stop you from what you want to do and what you want to be.

3rd Quarter and 2015 Goals...

My goals for the 3rd quarter is to bring books home and to study for high school and for exams for this quarter. I will achieve this goal by asking teachers if I can bring a work book home and see what high school is gonna be like. It would help me because it would assist me in my school grades. I would take 2 hours of study time and the next day and so forth. One day I would be smart and get excellent grades. Grades have been a big part of my life for a while. Lately they have been not the best. So I want to make them the best I can. Hopefully my goals will be achieved.

My personal goal is to wake up early and clean up the house. Maybe go for a little run to get my day going. As well as to eat healthy. I can achieve these goals is by making a certain time to wake up and to sleep. Rest is major thing in the human body. I would have to leave out the unhealthy stuff out and more healthy things. I would also have to help out with the house so it can stay organized if not life will be crazy. It would take lots of time to get this daily basis going. But I would also have to request some help from someone who does this so they could get me going. [[[[[[[[[i

2 Winter break book

The book I have read this winter break was "Hunger Games Catching Fire" author is Suzanne Collins. The genre is fiction. The main character is Katniss Everdeen. Recently, Katniss has won the 49th annual hunger games. But now all of the government in the Capital dislikes her. She tries to ignore it but they the put her in another hunger games. Katniss fighting for her life must stay alive to win again. But she cheated by breaking the game from the top. Then it ends form there not knowing what will happen next.

This book has many predictions. One of them I predict was at the end. I thought they would kill her for what she had done to the game and to many others. I predict that they will set her free and maybe end the hunger games itself. I also predict that maybe the government will go after Katniss's family or something. I will find out when I read the next book or chapter.

Winter break blog

The book I have read was "The Polar Express" the author is Chris Van Allsburg. The genre is fiction. The Polar express is a family favorite. The young boys name was not given. This book was taken place in the 1950s. This young boy wakes up to find a mysterious train. A conductor appears, asking the young boy to go on a journey to the North Pole. The young boy think its just a dream and sees other children going the same way. While traveling, lots of obstacles such as Deer blocking the railway, ice frozen over the railway, and steep hills going in and out. The young boy finally realizes that it was not a dream. 

This story has many themes. The main one that they mention is "You have to see, to believe". The reason is because this kid does not believe in fantasies. The young boy then sees Santa, and realizes he finally needs to see to believe. This young boy has seen many things that are myths and fantasies. The theme could explain a lot to the world today. The theme is stating that you should go out into the world and see fro yourself. Even if its something you don't believe in.
