Updated Reading

While I continue to read my novel, The Moon and More the book continues to draw me in. As Emaline becomes more revealed, I love her even more. I can easily relate to her boy issues very closely. Also I am predicting her decision between Luke and Theo, where Emaline will choose neither of the boys and go to the college she has always dreamed of. The story continues to make me question her best friend due to the fact she treats Emaline very poorly. Emaline doesn't really react to this she only seems to let her walk all over her. This frustrates me because i used to have a friend like that, until I took control over the situation. I am looking forward to seeing Emaline's confidence grow.

Casting Emaline

If I were to cast my main character, Emaline, I would choose Lily Collins. One reasoon I believe Lily Collins would be perfect for Emaline is physical appearance. The long brown hair, deep and calming hazel eyes, and thicker eyebrows fit Emaline's description perfectly. Lily could also potray Emalines confused and kind personality perfectly. Collins could show the audience how Emaline struggles with her father, her boyfriend, and chosing her life path. I would totally see the movie if Lily Collins was casted as Emaline. Then her costars could be really attractive guys, then the movie would just be 100 times better than it already was. I would advise producers not to change much from the book because so far the story is fresh and interesting.

Setting of The Moon and More

The setting of my novel takes place in the small town of Colby. Emaline is so far enjoying her surroundings. The people are all very friendly and the beautiful scenery sometimes upset the main character because Emaline wants to leave. This leads into the conflict of the story which is Emaline begins to wonder what else is out there for her. Emaline wants to go explore the world and travel while she still has the chance. Also there is her boyfriend, she begins to wonder if she can get something better. So Emaline begins to have inner conflict and society conflict when deciding what she wants to do in her last year of high school before her life really begins. Emaline could decide to go see her father, or go to a college she really wants too. Therefore I will embark on this journey with Emaline and making her big decision in life.

Meeting Emaline

My main character in The Moon and More is named Emaline. Emaline lives in the small beach town of Colby and works at her family owned business of renting out beach homes. I would love it if I could get a chance to meet Emaline because I can relate to her in certain ways. Also I would love to listen to her talk about her family issues.

Things like this intrigue me because my family have never had issues except for this one time. I also believe Emaline and I could become close friends due to the fact that we both enjoy the beach, shopping, and are interested in school. While I continue reading this novel I would hope that Emaline and I will easialy relate because relating to a main character helps me understand the book much better.

College

While looking for an article to write I came across '10 College Majors You'll Regret'. This article caught my attention because I know where I want to go for college and what I am interested in studying so I wondered, will I regret a very important decision? I know that I'm not interested in being an engineer even though the most money comes from their jobs. So I investigeted this article to find out that the majors proved to be most successful, are in fields that seem to be growing in demand today. Such as all engineering fields, geology, and technology. Now in my opinion these jobs would take quite alot of work and wouldn't keep me entertained all day long. My interest is in business, and marketing. When I discovered neither of these fields were present on the extremely bad or extremely good list, I let out a breath. I know I have a few more years left, yet knowing this will influence my decision in four years. I plan to do much more research and visiting to colleges before I have to figure out my life choice. Right now, grades, friends,  and dance are all that's on my mind. This Article relates to The Moon and More because of Emaline's major decision In college. Emaline is let down when she can't afford to attend the college of her liking so she rethinks her whole perspective on college. Luckily Emaline he's accepted into a better college And pursues a new career/major to benefit her future. 

Lake Erie

While working on Mr. Jackson's assignment in class I was missing the lake. Writing is one of my favorite things to do, especially when i have something special, fun , or important to write about. I was recently adding more conflict and suspense to my narritive about my lake house. I just started to smile at all of my favorite memories. Some with my friends who traveled there with me or with my cousins who traveled from afar just to see us. I miss my aunts and uncles and cousins. I want to taste Aunt Elsa's homemade rye bread toasted warm with melted butter resting upon the brown fluffy crust while I pull my bare legs to my chest sitting on the old plastic chairs. Feeling the morning breeze on my tanned face watchiong the early morning fisherman enjoy the calm blue waters. So while I am writing my narrative and this post, I smile. I smile because I am lucky enough to have wonderful relationships and memories at some place that I keep so close to my heart. While at the lake things get pretty fun and crazy, yet sometimes a good book on the beach can be excellent. This summer I enjoyed Keeping The Moon by Sarah Dessen, my favorite author. A story of a girl who traveled to her grandma's lake house and discovering friendship and love along the way.  The main character enjoys her summer as much as I did at her lake so it was easy to relate. This books is probably considered a chick book but I would recomend it to my friends because I love Sarah Dessen. She really expresses the importance of friendship and sticking up for eachother. So please enjoy!

The Moon and More

Sarah Dessen never fails to impress me. Once I pick up one of her teen novels, I can never put down the book. One reason why I love Dessen's books is because they are so relateable. When i mean relatable I mean that most of her books are based off of relationships. The relationships in her books are what ever girl dreams of because you just read about them and want to be in the story. In The Moon and More Emaline has this boyfriend Luke who is just the whole package. But while working at her job in the small town of Colby, she begins to wonder what else is out there for her.

I feel sympathy for Emaline because she has a very hard life at home with her dad not being around and a stressful relationship with her step family. While reading this book I want to cry and laugh and get excited. That's why I love Sarah dessen books and I hope one day I can write just like her.
