"A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND"

Today I stopped reading at page 135. I remember something with Powell's little talk. I remembered when I use to talk a lot of a field trip there was going to be. Powell talked a lot of a field trip he wanted to do for second time, so he talks with some little kids about that.

I remember I use to talk a lot of that field trip they told us like two months before we did the field trip. My mom was dreaming with that field trip because I was talking a lot of it.

"A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND"

Hi, today I stopped reading on page 131. Mrs. Cope has make understand Mrs. Pritchard about the importance to do a pray. Us like Jehovah Witness had decided it not to celebrate thanksgiving, because you should thank Jehovah always not just when you remember he gave you everything.

"A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND"

I read until page 129. It is funny how some people think they are not different from other people, and in some way they are. Mr. and Mrs. Cope come in this new chapter. They are so different from the outside but look like in the inside. My mom says "you will never find somebody like you." And it is true put I'm interested what they think.

"A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND"

Today I learned more of Mr. Head and Nelson, I had finished the chapter. There experience of been in the dark side of the city. I had a friend that experience been at that side, and she told me that it wasn't that scary, but maybe other people don't see it like that. My mom told me her experience and she told me she wished I never be there. I had decided not to go, the experience of the book make me think a lot, and take decisions a never thought in.

"A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND"

Hi, today I stopped reading on page 123. I really got a view of the story, but what is interesting is how sometimes we don't appreciate the things we have. Like Nelson and Mr. Head they needed the water because they were thirsty, and sometimes we don't see the value that water has and we just waste like if it wouldn't finish. So let's think how we want to waste the water.

"A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND"

I stopped reading on page 120. Nelson broke his leg and for no reason his grandfather refuse to the idea that he knows him. I think that's really mean.

"A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND"

Today I'm on page 117. And I had proved what my dad once told he said, " sometimes young people give good advices, and sometimes because we're older we think you guys can give good advices but, things are not like that." And Nelson has made his grandfather understand that maybe he's wrong, that he can take decisions for him. And well I understand I can give good advices.

"A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND"

Mr. Head is now scared because they got lost. Here's a quote that he said, "It's nothing to them(the niggers) if they knock you down", and then he tells this to Nelson,"You better keep closer to me." First of all I liked it because I had got lost in the streets and it doesn't feel good when you know there mean people around you, and that every move that you do they will watch it. Second of all I liked it because of the protection it describes there the pure love of a grandfather, trying to be there for you. When you have somebody there for you, your not afraid of nothing you just want to keep going with that person because you trust him/her. Well, that's what I liked today and what I learned is to always take a map with me ha or else I maybe don't know where I'll fall.

"A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND"

I'm still reading the same book but I'm advancing, I'm on page 112. It's weird how people try to lie to you and they don't noticed you had all ready noticed it. This happen to Nelson and his grandfather, some guy try to lie him. I remember my friend trying to lie to me when I saw her doing the opposite thing. Well, there's people like that and some times we are like that too.

"A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND"

I got to page 110. This part was sad and interesting at the same time. Nelson realizes that he depends on his grandfather and that he needs his support to keep going. This is sad because after a long time we realize that we need the old people that are mature and have experience. I remembered my grandfather he just past away, in July. I'm think everybody needs to appreciate more there family.

"A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND"

Today I stopped reading on page 103. It's interesting how it is true that you just need to say what's necessary and Nelson messed up. Well Mr. Head start yelling at him that he would have consequence because of what he said. I remember my mother telling me that I shouldn't say what they didn't ask me and that day I learned a big lesson. Maybe sometimes I mess up like Nelson but everybody has mistakes, and you learn from them. I'm glad I didn't said some stuff.

"A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND"

Today I started a new story, The Artificial Nigger, I stopped reading on page 100. This story described a man named Mr. Head he doesn't seem mean, but he is rude with a child named Nelson. I remember when my mom was rude with me because my attitude wasn't appropriate. I really think on how I'm going to treat my children. This man did care for Nelson but something was going on. Maybe I shouldn't judge people before I met them maybe I'm wrong with Mr. Head. I'll keep reading and maybe I will figure out more stuff.

"A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND"

Today I had discovered that Ruby not only may have cancer in the stomach, I also read how she is having problems with her heart. Maybe things can happen fast, and when you don't noticed your old and you have a lot of illness. This lines remind me when my mom suffer because of her asthma. That way I can imagine Ruby suffering with her pain. It was terrible how sometimes she couldn't breath I can count the times that that happen. Well, I want to know what happen to Ruby.

"A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND"

Hello today I stopped reading on page 75. This part was kind of sad and it brought me bad memories. Ruby is now sick she thinks she has cancer but not even that makes her go to the doctor. Once that happen to me that I didn't want to go to the doctor. And my dad pushed me to go because I was really sick. I didn't wanted to do it, but I had to. Ruby also has somebody pushing her to go, but nobody can make her go. I really want to know what is going to happen to her. And well me I'm better now.

"A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND"

Hello there I had read this book for a short period of time, but now I am on page 68. I had read more about Ruby, and she now doesn't feel good physically because emotionally she seems be okay. I can understand her feeling of sickness because I usually get sick, but I think sickness can be solve. I don't think been sick is bad, but it does disconnect you from everything. I think I can understand Ruby while I'm reading this chapter. I really remember that day I got sick. My mom was taking care of me that day , but I still needed medicine not just love. Maybe Ruby needs to take care more. I'm surprised how people don't understand others when there suffering, but I think is just our imperfect part. Possibly people with this book can understand the feelings of others.

"A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND"

Hello today I had stop reading on page 65. It's interesting because this new chapter, "A Stroke of Good Fortune," talks of a girl named Ruby, and my name is Ruby so it's easy for me get in the story. She has a brother name Rufus, and he is living with her. With this I remember when my brother went to visit us. Sometimes it was a big disaster, because he liked to fool around, and don't clean. I surely can't remember he was mean with me, it wasn't always a nightmare. I think for Ruby it was a pleasure to have her brother. I was different of my two brothers, I was calm and didn't like to fool around. I will like to figure out if Ruby was that different too.

"A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND"

Today I had stopped reading on page 62. Is easy to admire how things change, and stuff don't go easy. For example, Mr. Shiftlet said he wanted to married to a girl that liked to move. Once my mother told me that things won't always happiness that you need to pass through a lot of stuff. Even though she sometimes told I was going to be happy I couldn't understand her advice, I thought she was contradicting, but anyways the advice I understood it before. Is good to get the advice because then your the one that is contradicting Mr. Shiftlet understood what the old woman said after he now got married, is so beautiful how love changes everything. You can't keep going and thinking life is hard or easy is our choice.

"A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND"

Hello, today I had read the same book and stopped reading 58. This time was difficult to stop reading because how man think is sometimes really different of what the woman thinks. Mr. Shiftlet said something I never heard, and it got my attention was this "the man is divided into two parts, body and spirit." This is so interesting because I had never thought on that, but like my mother usually does she makes me think twice if that is right, what happened to Mr. Shiftlet was that the old woman made him reason. There's always somebody that is going to give you a different point of view of life. This story is getting interesting.

"A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND"

It has pass long time I didn't read, but today I stop reading on page 55. I like the way Mr. Shiftlet thinks, his point of view about why things are so expensive. I heard this point of view before, and I heard it from a uncle, I still can remember his voice, he was telling me that stuff we so expensive because a lot of men worked on it, but if only one man worked on one single thing everything will be cheaper. But my point is the same, we should try to do what Mr. Shiftlet is trying to do, do his own work to be cheaper. And his not alone, and you truly feel safety when somebody is supporting you.

"A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND"

Today I had stop reading on page 53. The old woman has spoken wisely, she actually remember my mother. The old woman mention this, " because of our age we know more, and while you go I'm already back". My mother use to tell me that, every time I was doing something wrong, but I didn't got angry because I knew that she was more wisely than me. Once somebody told me that "maybe the game has changed, but the rules are the same". This old woman by the way she talks she is a woman really wise. I really have a lot of memories with this book. Because the narrator describes everything like my uncle use to do.

"A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND"

Today I had started a new chapter named " The Life You Save May Be Your Own", but I stopped reading on page 49. This new chapter start talking about this old woman, it doesn't give her age but she's interesting. With this old woman I remembered a woman that lived near my house. She's was tuff sometimes, I remember our ball went to her yard, and that ball will never return. The description that the author gave of that woman reminds me a lot of that neighbor I had. I just read about her, and I put her on my head to try to live the story. The title of this chapter motivates me to keep reading let's see what comes next.

"A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND"

I finished page 44 and stop on page 46. This lines that I had read had touched my heart, because Bevel has the trophy on his view. He wants to baptized to get to the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, the only thing that I don't like is the he thought that the river was the one that gave him the power to keep going. I have my heart base on what the bible says, God always helps you, and I think if Bevel could he would look for God on the right way. I wish Armageddon came already, because that's when the Kingdom of Christ Jesus is going to come to earth. Bevel had learned a lesson like me by the end of this chapter, that the river never gave powers.

"A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND"

Today I had stop reading on page 44, because I ran out of time. Well, today Bevel (on the story) he seemed he got lost but he found a hint to get back home. This remind me when I was with my aunt Luz, that day I just went for vacations, but I went back home. The thing is that on my way back I left alone, my aunt gave me the directions but that wasn't that useful, I got lost. I obviously didn't cry, but I try to look for hints to get back home. I remember my grandmother telling me asking you can get to Rome. So I didn't did like Bevel just guide by the hints. I start asking people giving them directions, the thing is that as Bevel I got back home. Those like Bevel are experiences, that we had lived.

"A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND"

Today I'm on page 42. I was going to start laughing while I kept reading, even tough it is super interesting I had that reaction. The thing is there's this person named Bevel, he name was the same name of the preacher. And I started to remember when I was in 9th grade, there was a girl named Rubi and they use to confuse me with her. She was hanging out with this boy named Alexis, I don't know why but they start asking if I was hanging out with him. So with this boy named Bevel, they were confusing him with the preacher, people start talking of him, like me student's start talking of me. But this book has brought to me a lot of memories.

"A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND"

Today I stopped reading on page 39, and I'm still learning of Bevel. Bevel has been baptized and he didn't even decide the pastor just baptized him. I remember my dad telling me that I was already had been baptized. He said he felt sorry about this, I couldn't understand why he was telling me this. Now that I had grew up, I understand my dad, he felt sorry because he took the decision of baptizing me with out asking me if that was the religion that I wanted. To get baptized you need to be able to choose. And it is true what the pastor said that we are going to go to the Kingdom of Jesus, but I remember my aunt telling me what the Bible says that the gift of God is that the world is going to be turned to a paradise. I have that hope and my family is with me to give me the support that I need.

"A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND"

Hi! I'm on page 37, and I'm kind of getting against a character, well not against but I don't like him. This "prayer" remains me to a old pastor that I knew. Well, this pastor use to tell me that I needed to believe in God because he was God and that the water he will bless me with it was his blood. I never got to understand that until this days that I'm younger. Well, know I understand that I don't need to go tell him all my sins because who is he, his just a sinner like everybody that can't do anything to solve something. And I hope that Bevel at a part of the book understand really good the meaning of the sacrifice of Jesus. He gave his life to free us of the sin, and communicate with God. I'm happy today bye.

"A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND"

Today I had stop reading on page 33. This character Bevel remembers me when I was at Mexico like 7 months ago, that I just went to vacation over there. Well, the thing is this I remember when I was young because I didn't knew how did us, well I did knew it was God, but I taught God was Jesus and I was totality wrong like Bevel, but pass the time I learned more about that Jesus is son of God and that God's name is Jehovah.

"A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND"

Hello this day I have read until page 30. I have not yet understand the behavior he has, I'm kind of mess up understanding this character's. I remember when use to tell my mom why didn't she understood me? Why she didn't sometimes explain me things?. Now this character has been like mom that I can understand them. But by the pass time I had a sister that thought I didn't understood her and start asking questions like I did, I think she will understand when she gets older. As the same as the book I think going to understand this character.

"A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND"

Hello today I stopped reading on page 27. I liked my reading today because there's this women named Mrs. Connin because she was cheering up a man named Harry Ashfield, she was telling him to do a pray. Well I'll tell you why I liked it, it was because we like Jehovah's Witness do the job of offering people studies, making them see that somebody cares about them and there not alone. Bur not all people answer positive, some are like Harry that don't want to do a pray is something insignificant. I'm happy that I can talk to God with a prayer. And thanks Jesus that gave his like we can talk with him, and we need to thanks.

"A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND"

Today I have started a new chapter it is named "The River" this chapter I wonder what does it talk about, well the case is that I'm on page 25. I'm not really understanding the story, I think you really need to get in the story to understand it. This mother of what I read needs to be strong to stand for her children. I remembered my neighbor that need to raise her children alone because his husband left her for another women, I remember sometimes she use to go to my house and cry about her problems. I think problems are always going to be present, but we need to know if we are unhappy with our life or sad. Well this my comment about this strong mother.

"A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND"

Hello I'm on page 22, it's getting interesting. I would like to finish it because a lot of stuff are happening to the family and the grandmother while there on there trip. This family has been captured by the Misfit this misfit doesn't remember me anybody because this man has not compare, well I had heard about people that are like that, it's more in Mexico where you hear people are selfish and don't care of the suffer of others. This man has been maybe treated good when he was young because he knows about Jesus and how to pray. I think praying is important because thanks Jesus we can communicate with God even though we can't see Jesus anymore he left us a great model himself. He is the image of God and he has learned a lot of him and we can do the same.

"A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND"

Today I had read part of this book, I don't have a lot of reading, but I am on page 19. Well, today my thoughts had been mixed, and I have remember something that makes get more in the story.

I remember when I was like 8 years old and I got lost in target my mom was in the car with my baby sister and I left with my dad inside target well the thing is that I told him to take a different way, to meet upstairs. Unfortunately I got lost, but then my mom got scared and also my dad because the y couldn't find me, I can think in the suffer my mom had and the mom of the kids in the story. They finally found me but my mom was so scared that she kissed me and hug me. I think everybody has been through something like this. It is funny to remember it and good to get in a story with the memories you have.

"A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND"

Today I have read this book again I'm on page 15. While I was reading this story I start remembering when I was younger and something happen. My mom and I went to a big market that was far from my house. My mom didn't knew the address really good. I got really scare when I saw my mom asking people where was this famous market. My mom told me not to start crying, but I couldn't resist it so I start crying. My mom was scare too, a man start asking her if she want a ride. This was getting more scare,but the good thing of this is that my dad found us and we return home. I remember this because something like this happen to the grandmother and the family, but I haven’t get in the part where everything solves. 

"A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND"

Today I had got shock by the part of the book I read, I am on page 10 and it's getting interesting.

There's this man named "The Red Sammy" he is so good, but that's not what shock the thing is his thoughts were the ones that got my attention. This man is actually like women so he is getting my appreciation. I remember that day I said in this world were none of good men. This is in the mouth of a lot of women and a man has accept it is actually true that statement. Well, we are not perfect and we are not gone find a man perfect, but we can still find the one we love.

"A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND"

Today I'm still reading "A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND",this book is written by Flannery O'CONNOR." This book is interesting because it has a story behind. I kind of get into the story because there's this grandmother so nice and wise that wants to do good the things. This grandmother reminds me to my grandmother she was always telling us stories about her life. Some where creep, some where of love and other ones I didn't even understood her. Well, I'm looking for character's that look like my family, because this story is about a family. This grammy is making me feel the story.

Romeo and Juliet

Hello today I had read on page 235.

Sometimes things don't go like we will like them to go. We first start lying, then we are just gone say the true and we lie again thinking that nobody is gone noticed we are lying. I think is good that they get you in the lie because then you start learning a lesson of lying and start doing what is right. Juliet thought things were going to be good lying about her death, but things went wrong for her too. We can hold the lie so long so it's better say the true always.

Romeo and Juliet

Hello today I had read until the page 223, and I getting into the story.I'm liking the story, but today were I read it remained me to a friend, that I had when I was like 13. She was tired of life she just taught that dying she would solve her problems, but she didn't understood life wasn't like that. This is similarity what happen to Romeo he taught death was the solution.

Romeo and Juliet

Hello today I had stop reading on page 211, and is getting sad day by day that I read.

I remember when music use to calm my feelings, I used to just think in music and forget the other stuff. I think specially to relax me. And well Peter I don't know how old was he but I think he was still a teenager because he still taught music will make him forget his suffer. Sometimes us like teenagers don't want to think in the problems we have, we just want to think in us and that's it. Peter was sad because of "the death of Juliet." Think on it, it's true.

Romeo and Juliet

Today is the 24th and right now I'm on page 205. My day is going all right until I start reading the book of Romeo and Juliet, Juliet has died, but everything is fake. When somebody dies I feel awful and it has an impact in my life, because I start valuing more life. I have the hope that God is gone give us life again but in this world with off the devil. I'm happy because of all of that but for that I need to be close to God praying, and doing what his word say. The parents must be devastated but knowing that, I think is like when a child goes from your way and you like parent feel alone. I wonder what will happen.

Romeo and Juliet

For today I had stop reading on page 195.

You see we use to pray often, well I do. But some of us think that if we repeat the same words God is gone listen to us. That way was how Juliet taught;she's wrong because the other day my family talked with me and made me see the importance of praying. One day I pray from the bottom of my heart to God and he listened to me, and God is so good with you that he listens to you and protects you. He's so good that he doesn't leave you your the one that choose to do that. Well that's life like.

Romeo and Juliet

Sometimes we need somebody to be there for us, taking care, hearing our stuff and most giving us a advice that we want to hear. To me it happens most of the time that somebody is giving me an advice but I don't want to hear because is not what I want to listen to. So I keep going with different persons until somebody tells me what I want to listen. The thing is that we just want to listen to our self and not a good advice. Juliet is just listening to advice of her heart, like we sometimes do. But always somebody makes us get in correct answer, and correct our mistakes. France the pastor is right that is dangerous what she wants to do, but will she listen like us sometimes do?

Romeo and Juliet

Today I'm on page 173, it's still been interesting because Capulet is angry because her daughter wants to marry. Something similar happen to me not that I was gone marry but a decision I needed to make, my dad was telling me what to do my dork heart didn't listen, by that my consequence where worst sometimes we think we are right but we are so mistaken so let's listen the good advices and not our heart.

Romeo and Juliet

Romeo has broken in tears, because of his actions. I remember when I came late to home and my mother start talking with me, trying to make me understand why I was wrong. She told me that for punishment I was gone was the dishes for a week, I broke in tears. I said it was the worst punishment I could ever have. I said it was better if they took off the TV of me. Sometimes we think, what about if this will happen?, but we don't think that maybe it was the best. It's like Romeo he taught that it will be better be killed than be banished. We just don't think at that moment and just cry and don't value the things we have. I learned that day, that I need to value more my family and be happy with what I have.

Romeo and Juliet

Today is the 16th of September and this has been a wonderful day.I'm on page 141 and it's getting on the sad part of the book. Romeo has murdered the cousin of Juliet, Juliet already knows it and she's suffering because of that. I remember when I got the news that my grandfather was death, I think I can know what Juliet felt. That day the I knew that I broke in tears, and start thinking why God took him from here. But I was blaming on him when his not the guilty on the story is Satan. I understood more the things.

Romeo and Juliet

This day I'm on page 133 and I'm learning a lot of lessons of this book. First of all because it shows me how not to get in trouble, I remember that day when my friends where fighting and I got in the fight trying to make them understand we are friends and we are not suppose to fight but the only thing that I won with that is to fight with one of them because she didn't understand she like closed her eyes on the true. The same happens to Mercuito he was telling the truth but the prince couldn't believe him. And the circle of life I think you should wait a moment and then talk.

Romeo and Juliet

This day I have read more of Shakespeare book, and I am on page 129, it's not getting so emotionally. Sometimes when somebody is in love, they turn patient and let things pass. That's what happen to Romeo he had in front of him a fight and didn't do anything because he was thinking in his love. But the wrong thing we can make is clear a mistake and ruin it when we had a chance to not doing it again. I like when somebody offers you to cheat on a quiz and you say no but then this comes this person again and tells you again and this time you say yes, thats the worse you can do because then you have the consequence you didn't had at the beginning now you have them. I have learned a lesson by the example of Romeo that he was doing good but now there following him, to kill him.

Romeo and Juliet

Good afternoon today is the 10th and this day I keep reading "Romeo and Juliet" , it's incredible how Shakespeare had the inspiration to write this story of love, I really like it.

Well, Romeo and Juliet are finally getting married, that lovely day has come for them. The nurse of Juliet brought the message she helped them to get together at church and be happy forever. The pastor wants to marry them but they need to be moderate by giving there love each other.

Romeo and Juliet are really happy and I can think how they feel because I saw the happiness of my parents when they married, and I want to have that smile when I get marry.

Romeo and Juliet

Hello this day I'm on page 107, and I'm understanding how he feels. The friend of Romeo, Mercutio starts bothering him that his changing and his not the same. Sometimes when we know somebody everybody starts telling you your changing and maybe yes, but they don't understand how strong is that, that makes you feel different. Romeo is pretty in love and his preparing for his wedding. The nurse is been gentle with him, and there's always a person that understand you and is with you.

Romeo and Juliet

Today I read again the book of Shakespeare, I'm on page 95.

This book is kind of relative with the love of teenagers because Romeo is getting fool by is friends and it's like that when your a teenager everybody makes fool of you but you don't care because love is the most important thing in that moment for you.

Romeo and Juliet don't know if there love is really gone stay all the time, but there risking everything, even tough there friends want to destroy there love.

I think Mercurito his friend is kind of jealous of him, but in live there's always somebody that hates you. And we can do anything just keep going.

Romeo and Juliet

Today I'm reading more of Romeo and Juliet, I'm on page 83. Romeo went to visit Juliet by night and tell her is truly love, but his hiding from the King Capulet his not worry about that he just wants to hear the lovely words of Juliet. Juliet sees that Romeo really wants something with here so she asks him if he wants to marry with her. This is a hard decision to take but for Romeo his in love and that's the first thing he will come true. They really want to be together and pass the years they just want to remember each other and forget everything. This is love when you just want to think on that person and never forget and even because the time.

Romeo and Juliet

Hello today I'm already on page 73 and it's getting really interesting because Romeo has forgotten his old love Rosaline who he taught he will never forget. Now a new girl is in his life Juliet, but he hardly can get her love because she is a Capulet the daughter of his worst enemy.

They have met and Romeo risk his life by going to her house. Juliet is in love too so she answers to him and both want to be together no matter what,even if they change there names.

I think this is a beautiful story because no matter what love can go on a huge wall even if they risk there life. This remembers me that love does exist and if you want to be with the person you can be, only if both really like and leave back everything.

Romeo and Juliet

Hello today I'm reading the same book "Romeo and Juliet" and the author is Shakespeare.I'm reading where everything is getting interesting because Romeo and Juliet are going to meet on a banquet, a party that Capulet did. Romeo is nervous because his going to see a lot of women and remember his love. I think it's not fair that Juliet needs to marry because she's on the age she doesn't even in love with somebody to engage. Romeo is in love and his love can be. But something that is going to impact them is going to happen. pp: 47-53

Romeo and Juliet

Hey today is tuesday and I read more of "Romeo and Juliet". At this part of the story Romeo and Juliet meet each other in a party Capulet made. Something happen, love went through there eyes and got in love Romeo never taught he will see another women with love.

Juliet let's Romeo kiss her but they don't know there suppose to be enemies so they just get in love. And then think what would happen?
