Blade Silver

             Blade Silver is a book with MANY conflicts in it. A book always has a main conflict. In the book Blade Silver the main character Ruth is going to depression. Real bad depression. I just finished my book, but honestly, there are some parts in there where it's just like a movie. You just want to yell out loud "NO! DON'T DO IT." I actually did it and scared my mom a bit. Occasionally she would yell out "Go read outside!" If only she would read it with me. She would understand why I was so anxious. Anyway, back to conflicts; Ruth is struggling so much right now. She has lots and lots of problems. Specially with her mom who just tried to commit suicide. Just put yourself in her shoes, how would you feel? Awful right? You can only read this book to see how Melody Carlson explicitly explains Ruth's pain.



         How does this book make me feel? Well, as I mentioned in the paragraph above, it made me feel anxious! I was done with the book after a week and like 4 days. I would yell out in some parts because it made me feel so mad how some things were being resolved. Im only 13, but I believe I'm pretty mature. Lots of teenagers are mature by this period in their life. Therefore, as a mature teenager I knew that the solution to many of these problems were definitely not right! I was mad, anxious and also sad. The part where I was mostly sad was when I finished the book. I love reading books I can relate to. I was sad because I wish this was like a never ending book. Everything was so clear I could picture it. In addition, I was also sad when I found out why Ruth was cutting, because of problems at home. Its not easy to see your mom die, and its even harder seeing her trying to kill herself. This book made me feel so bipolar but, it was worth it and I loved it! I would recommend it to everyone. Have fun reading Blade Sliver! 

Blade Silver

Hello bloggers! Its been a while since I've blogged about any of the books I've been reading, but here I am! Ready to start blogging? Here we go.

BLADE SILVER   

     Blade Silver is a book from the series "Color me Scarred" or "True Colors" by Melody Carlson. The purpose of the author in these books are to support kids, specially teens. Blade Silver is book number 7 of these series. Through these books, Melody Carlson writes tragic but common stories that most teens are probably going through. She starts normally, later on the problem is shown, but at the end it always shows a solution. This means that she's here not only to entertain some readers, but she's also informing. She's informing because she's showing that there's always a solution, but she's also showing others how some of their classmates, or friends are being affected. It works both ways, and I personally can relate to a lot of these books. So, I thank Melody Carlson for her inspiring stories!

    Okay! I know after reading the author's purpose you're probably dying to hear what this one book is about. Well, I shall tell you now. Blade Silver is about a girl who's been through a lot. It all started with her mom having suicidal thoughts, and eventually trying to commit suicide. Of course, Ruth's mom is her daughters image, so Ruth follows in her footsteps. After Ruth's mom trying to commit suicide, Ruth started thinking about everything so differently. That's right, the blade seems to be the only option, and solution in this story. She cuts, a lot. She cuts so much, she doesn't even remember how many times she's picked up that blade and sat there in the bathroom just watching her blood dripping. Ruth wouldn't stop. Summer came and only after a friend spotted the scars on her arms is when Ruth started to face the problem. We all know that a lot of times when you try to solve a problem, a bigger problem is created. Will Ruth get past this phase of her life? Read more and find out!

GOALS FOR 2015

        I've been making changes trough out last year and this year. My grades have been going up and i love the smile my mom gives me when i show her all the improvement i've been making. Last year, i made a goal to this year get a's and b's. This quarter i got a C, next time i know i have to make better decisions with the people i work with. For the next two quarters my goal is to get mostly a's if not all of them. I will try harder in all of my classes, i will try to focus more. Also, i put a new positive ring tone to my alarm, so when i wake up, i wake up dancing and with a positive attitude to come to school and learn.



My personal goal, is to forgive all the bad things that happened in 2014. Forgive, not forget. If there wasn't a person i liked, i wont force myself to like them but I will respect them. No mean mugging, no bad facebook comments. Also, I would try to to smile more. Some might ask, how's that possible? Well, i love laughing and smile, being mad over things isn't my thing. I think that if you laugh, you will have a much more positive day! I really hope this year goes as great as 2014,  even better, not even get one C.
