Fighting for Love

Being married to a vampire is pretty painful and scary. If someone falls in love with a vampire they really do have some guts. The book Twilight Breaking Dawn part 1 by Stephanie Myer is one of the best books I have ever read. The characters are interesting and the author does a great job providing many details to describe them.  The book is unlike any other vampire/werewolf book I’ve experienced before because it deals with romance and suspense.
There are three main characters; Bella, who is a human, but, wants to become a vampire; Bella’s vampire fiancĂ©, Edward; and Bella’s friend Jacob who is a werewolf and also happens to be Edward’s enemy.  Bella was unaware of Edward and Jacobs’s true identity when she met them while in high school.
Personally I think Bella should be in love with Jacob because he is gentle, kind and seems to really care about Bella.  Edward on the other hand is a cold blooded vampire who originally planned to kill Bella because he was unable to use his powers and read her mind.  However, Edward later changed his mind after discovering Bella was interested in meeting him.  For Bella it was love at first sight. Jacob and Edward would naturally be enemies because of who they are.  However, Jacob’s jealously of Edward and Bella’s relationship caused the rivalry between the two to be stronger.   
After some time Edward and Bella eventually were married and honeymooned on a private island, called Isle Esme, which is off the coast of Brazil. Two weeks into their honeymoon Bella finds out she’s pregnant. By this time she is aware of Edward’s true identity of being a vampire, and understands her unborn child will be half-vampire half human.  Unfortunately, her condition is unnatural and will experience complications. Bella and Edward immediately return back home to Forks, Washington. As Bella becomes very ill her skin becomes incredibly pale because of the child. Edward suggested that Bella gets an abortion but she refuses. Bella feels a strong connection with her child and doesn’t want to let go. But as the child continues to develop Bella’s condition gets worst and she is in jeopardy of dying.  
In order to keep Bella and the baby alive Edward gives Bella blood, which he believes will keep them both strong. The blood however, only helps the baby, but Bella remains very ill. During this time Edward and Jacob are very concerned for Bella’s life. While Bella is giving birth she loses a lot of blood and consciousness, but not before seeing her baby. After Bella loses consciousness Edward bites her, turning her into a vampire, which saves her life. So wanting to be a vampire is what a brave person would do

Football over Friendship

Authors Note: For many people around the world football is more than just a sport it is a huge impact on their everyday lives.

Football is the best sport ever and nobody can tell me otherwise. The excitement
of the game and the rush of playing is just amazing. Our story is about two 6th grade boys who are best friends and they both like to play football. One of the boys name is Manny and the other friend’s name is Donald.  Manny is the star running back on the team and Donald he’s just on defense so he isn’t really noticed because he doesn’t do a lot and he doesn’t get much playing time. Manny on the other hand he takes a 2min break on the bench then goes right back out every single game.

In a way Donald is jealous of Manny because he is a little bit more talented at football than him. I can understand where he’s coming from because I know what it feels like for someone to be better than you at something and they are your best friend. But Donald made a bad choice of ignoring Manny and never explaining to Manny why he was mad at him so Manny is clue less on why Donald is furious with him. But at least Donald can talk it out with Manny in a calm and mature manner.

But too bad it didn’t happen that way. Just to get even farther away from Manny Donald quit the football team and without Donald, Manny suffered on the field. He was the worst player on the field. The worst part for Donald was finding a new friend which was harder than he thought because it seemed like everyone had their own group of friends and Donald didn’t seem to fit in anywhere. Somehow without each other they carried on with their miserable and separate lives.

For many people and athletes all around the world football is very important because they might have stress or anger to depose of. For for players, parents,  and legends of the game that may have a passion for the game. Football was, is and always will be the best sport ever, but a game is not worth losing your best friend.
