Tolerance

Tolerance: | 'täl(e)rens | 
The ability or willingness to allow the existence, occurrences, or practice of something in particular the existence of opinions or behavior that one does not necessarily agree with. 

Tolerance is not the same for everyone, but for me it means the amount you can handle something. To tolerate someone is to understand and handle them, many people can control there tolerance others can. I have very little tolerance for incompletion, others for annoyance ext. everyone has different perspectives of the word.

Backlash - 2

Laura survived the overdoes at the hospital. The police officer wanted to check and get some back history on Laura so she asked her sister. Sydney agreed and told the officer everything from when she was 8 to today. She asked about her friends, thats when Sydney chuckled. In the text it said "Laura does not have many friends because of her "depression" Sydney Said" This caught my eye because of how the author put depression in parenthesis. I kept reading and the officer asked Sydney "why did you say depression with a smirk?" Sydney said, "Because its obvious Laura's life is perfect she just wants attention, she thinks having depression makes you popular. Mean wile online, Bree picture got more than 50 likes on face book. Lots of people were sharing it on there timelines, even Criss. The comments were really bogus in my perspective. For example in the text it said "The comments were kin dove harsh Bree Said..  "RIP Lardo" "Corpse Girl""She Looks Dead""Is Lardasouraus Dead?" This part of the chapter told me that Bree was starting to feel bad for posting the picture. But she was not able to delete it, what ever goes on the internet stays on the internet.

This chapter really gave me that big message, "what ever goes on the internet stays on the internet" This situation gave me second thoughts about saying things about people, honestly I think theres no point in bulling it just causes problems. This chapter was allot about bulling, and I think in this situation its cyber bullying. I would hate to be in Lara's shoes right now because she just calmed down from her problem with Criss and when she goes on Facebook..  Bree is going to come up more in the book I think because of the picture that started everything.

Backlash

My new book that I started for this quarter is called "Backlash". I started reading last week and i'm so into the book. It relates a lot to me because of they text it uses, and the authors 1st person perspective pieces. So a girl named Lara who is the main character so far has a relationship with this guy named Criss. One day Criss post status on Facebook about Lara and how he hated her and other mean things. For example "your fat no one wants you here, your the meanest person i've ever meet, your ugly" Simple things like that but they hurt Lara because they came from him. People saw the statuses and started blackmailing and hating Lara. Lara was having suicidal decisions, but her family didn't know until one day. Her sister Sydney wanted to go to the bathroom but Lara was in there for a long time already. Sydney was frustrated until she realized no one was moving in the bathroom. She called her mom, they called the police and her dad. Lara had overdosed on medicine. They took her to the hospital but when she was in the bed for the ambulance a girl named Bree took a picture of Lara and posted it on Facebook. Everyone was commenting and liking ext. Thats when all the rumors started.

So far this book has been very good, I have not wanted to let it down and stop reading it of how good. The book really relates to many situations that are occurring right no in our era of time. This story has a really good message and thats to not spread rumors if they don't involve you. The book so far has already told me a lot and i'm barley at the 5 chapter. Everything escalated very quick from the drama to the rumors. That sounds a lot like middle school to me. I really feel bad for Lara because this is not the first time she's been bullied its happened too times. I just want to find out what happens this time.

Call Of The Wild. End

In the end after everything buck and John Thornton become part of a indian pride. Not as much as part, they were kidnapped but Buck escaped. Buck needed to the about how he was going to save his friend if he was trapped by so many. Buck was walking threw the dark woods thinking of ideas. Day after day Buck was changing due to him living in the woods. His coat color turned black, he had the taste for meat. He was stronger, all good changes for Buck. Buck hears a howl, from far away deep in the woods. It was the call of the wild, this call made him feel superior inside. He replied to the call, then he went to the tribes living area were he let the demons out of him. In the text it said "They were dancing in circles happy as can be when you see a dark giant dog jump from the bush. He leaps on the leader and slots his throat. One by on the al die the same, Buck pouncing on every single one killing them instantly. " This told me the Buck was pretty mad, he decided to kill the tribe instead of run them off. As Buck sniffed around he found John Thornton laying on a bed already dead. It was to late he had all ready been sacrificed. Bucks new friend and saver is a memory in his heart.

This last chapter was jaw drooping for me, the way the author wrote this section made you feel the anxiety or the fear of actually being there during this. This story was really interesting, from the beginning of the book I wasn't really into it but towards the end I enjoyed it. The suspense was also when a pac of wolves came to camp and tried killing Buck. In the text it said "Out of the shadows there was a wolf, and then another and so on. Until a hole pack of wolves emerged from the woods, Buck was terrified. One by one they jumped on Buck but Buck killing ever single one. Buck wins." He begins to become the lone wolf but then when winter comes he becomes the leader of the pack. This story is very outstanding I cant wait to do the project on it.

Call Of The Wild. 10

In this chapter there was lots of commotion and loss. The dogs had been pushing the slay far enough wear they were at the point of stoping. So Hal the owner of all these dogs stopped at a tree right before they crossed the "White River". In the text it said "Now all we have to cross the White River, only a fool would do such a thing. said John Thornton. A fool? said Hal. I am no fool i've made it this far already that doesn't mean i'm a fool. Ill cross that river if its the last thing I do." When I read this couple sentences I asked my self why would it be so bad to cross that river thats full of ice? But thats when I read back to the text were it said in the first sentence "It was a early spring morning" That told me that they did not want to cross because its a patch of melting ice over a big river. Now John Thornton was with them this whole trip, and he did not like the way Hal treated the dogs.  When it was time to go Hal called the dogs, non of them got up they were to tired. He pulled out his whip and 1 by 1 was whipped. They all got up except for Buck, he was getting whipped and whipped but he couldn't feel a thing because of how tired he was. But Buck wouldn't budge because he knew that it was to dangerous to cross that river. That was when Thornton had it so he graved an axe handle and hit Hal repeatedly. With a hunting Knife He cut the harness that was on Buck while the sled left.

This chapter was very heart warming in a way, for example the text said "As the look behind there shoulder the see Hal and his sled crossing the river. When all of a sudden the dogs and sled and Hal fell right threw the ice. Noting was left but a black patch over the ice." Now that tolled me that if it wouldn't of been for Buck being uncooperative, him and Thornton would have died too. After all this commotion Buck found his new loving owner. After this whole tragedy I think it will get harder for Buck and Thornton to find the gold. But then again the can still keep going together.
