Never Gonna Be Alone: Nickelback

Time is going by, so much faster then I,

and I'm starting to regret and spending all of here with you

Now I'm wondering why I've kept this bottled inside

So im starting to regret not selling all of it to you

So if i haven't yet, I've gotta let you know

 

You're never gonna be alone fron this moment on

If you ever feel like letting go, i won't let you fall

You're never gonna be alone, I'll hold you 'till the hurt is gone

 

And now, as long as i can, I'm holding on with both hands

'Cause forever i believe

That there's nothing i could need but you

So if i haven't yet, I've gotta let you know

 

Your never gonna be alone from this moment on

If you ever feel like letting go, I won't let you fall

When all hope is gone, I know that you can carry on

We're gonna see this world out I'll hold you 'till the hurt is gone

 

OH, YOU'VE GOTTA LIVE EVERY SINGLE DAY

LIKE ITS THE ONLY ONE, WHAT IF TOMMORW NEVER COMES

DON'T LET IT SLIP AWAY, COULD BE YOUR ONLY ONE

YOU KNOW ITS ONLY JUST BEGUN, EVERY SINGLE DAY

MAYBE OUR ONLY ONE, WHAT IF TOMMOROW NEVER COMES

TOMMOROW NEVER COMES

 

 

i really like this song alot and it reminds me alot of this book...it really describes that love isnt something that you can ignore. And why not trade the good for the great it might be a leap and there are chances you might not make it but its better to have tried then to not have. Time is going by faster then we actually realize, so take chances and live life to the fullest and love without regrets because you never know what tommorrow will bring you. 

 

 

 

 

 

 I think the main theme of New Moon is how to handle grief. Bella was forced to spend over 6 months sobbing and grieving over Edward leaving her. She wasn't expecting him to just leave her like he did and it tore her life almost completly apart. Another theme of the book would be immortality. Edward had struggled with the decison of making Bella a vampire since the begginng of there relationship.

I really enjoyed this book, it slows down alot in the middle of it but some how the author just has enough so that you stay attached to it never wanting to put it down and awaiting the end. This book is filled with twists and turns and leaves you wondering what is going to happen next. I have heard opinons based on this book and alot of people say that out of the series this is probably there least favorite. But only because they dont like how it has to be so negative, but i think thats what makes a story interesting you can't be left with a story that is all happy and to positive it leaves confusion because its not the truth nothing is ALWAYS positive there has to be some negative for you to really enjoy and except it. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lucky.....By: Alice Sebold. . .

 

I really liked the way that Alice Sebold is strong enough to understand and able to explain what happens to herself and how it can effect your life forever. It may not seem like a big deal being raped and all compared to some of the other things that have happened in the world but it still happens and it still effects people emensley......

 

This memoir is about the true and retold story of Alice Sebold at the age of 18 on the way home form a friends being brutly raped in a tunnel just outside her college campus. It tells of Alice's strengh and spirit to secure her attacker's arrest making sure that no one who would do such a terrible thing would be set free. Alice always told herself. "you save yourself or remain unsaved."

 

 

 

Quotes: 

"In the tunnel where i was raped, a tunnel that was once an underground entry to an ampitheater, a place where actors burst forth from underneath the seats of a crowd, a girl had been murdered and dismembered. I was told this story by the police. In comparison, they say i was LUCKY!!!"

To me i think that any rape is the same in the way that a person feels. If you go through something of that truama you are bound to live with the same feels as someone else that has been raped, you feel that you can connect because they can relate. Sometimes its hard to accept and listen to peoples words and advise when they really haven't been there.

 

 

"This is what i remember. My lips were cut. I bit down on them when he  grabbed me from behind and coverd my mouth. He said these words; "I'll kill you if you scream." "

Your first reaction when somethign scares you or grabs you is to scream. What happens when your told if you scream you die, but also what happens if you don't, nobody is around to see you so if you don't scream you could still die......either way you could end up dying. Alice was strong and secure she tempted herself to scream but new the consecquences, but she also fought back to who could have been her murdrer.

 

 

"I remember telling Tree that I wished I had a wire brush but that even that wouldn't be enough to wipe all this away"

Alice says this to her freind Tree right after the rape in the hospitals showers, she was beaten so bad and had lost so much blood that she was barely able to walk on her own. She says this in a way of meaning that she wished that she could just wash it all away erase it as if nothing like this ever happened. She felt that a part of him was left on her skin and it wouldn't so away she attempted to turn the water on as hot as it would get but told herself that she needed a wire brush to scrub it all off her skin.

 

 

"My life was over, my life had just begun."

Alice told herself that she would never be the person that she once was, she considered herself now a rape victim and that was defined her as a person. Her old life was over the sweet innocent 18 year-old virgin at her freshman year in college and loving it. Her new defined life had just began, she was no longer a virgin or innocent. She told herself she was disgusting and gross.

 

"You save yourself or you remain unsaved"

I think that this tells you that there are people that are gald to listen but its not always easy that way. usually you have to make the decsion youself if your going to move on with your life or live with it forever and let it destroy you. I think that this book if read by a person of rape it could really help them through alot of what there going through and help them to be a stronger person.

 

 

 

Fall By: Clay Walker 

 

Oh look there you go again

Puttin on that smile again

Even though I know you've had a bad day

Doin this and doin that

Always puttin' yourself last

A whole lotta give and not enough take

 

But you can only be strong so long before you break...

 

So fall go on and fall apart

Fall into these arms of mine

I'll catch you every time you fall

Go on and lose it all

Every doubt every fear every worry every tear

I'm right here

Baby fall

 

Forget about the world tonight

All that's wrong and all that's right

Lay your head on my shoulder let it fade away

And if you wanna let go baby it's okay

 

Fall go on and fall apart

Fall into these arms of mine

I'll catch you every time you fall

Go on and lose it all

Every doubt, every fear, every worry, every tear

I'm right here

Baby fall

 

Hold on hold on hold on to me...

 

Fall go on and fall apart

Fall into these arms of mine

I'll catch you every time you fall

Go on and lose it all

Every doubt, every fear, every worry, every tear

I'm right here

Baby fall 

  

 

I think that this song really relates to the book in a total differnet perspective. For one i love this song but also i think it represents Alice. She is such a strong indearing women who fights for her rights and also trys and helps to protect the others that aren't strong enough to do what she faces. She puts herself in some of the hardest situations. LIke going to court and facing her rapist hoping that she will win the case, being able to see his face and deal with the questions that are thrown at her. She never lets it get the best of her she stays standing and stays as strong as she needs to be. But in the end Alice finds that letting everything on once in awhile with the people that she trusts and love is a big relief. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Jenny Downham has a way of expressing what it means to be alive. The novel is about a sixteen year old girl who has lived with cancer for about four years and doesn't have much longer to live. She starts out as a very negative person about the whole thing but starts to see the beauty in everything that she has always looked at but never actually seen. i love the way that the author expresses everything to the very last detail.

 

 

QUOTES:

'Even if we never come back, we'll always be here.'

i really like this because i believe that you always leave a mark of somekind weather it be in someone elses heart a memory or even just a smiple writing on a wall you always leave with some kind of mark. 

 

'I really want to be there to she her zoey, its only a hundred and sixty days i can make it. I want to be one of the very first people in the whole world to hold her.'

After i read this page in the novel it really turned the book around for me because it was all negative and just felt like tessa didn't want to live for anyhting anymore, but once she said this to her bestfriend zoey about wanting to see her baby girl be born it made me want to keep reading because tessa was finally seeing the beauty in things and really wanting to strive to stay alive just for that one thing.

 

'I might let u down'

I think that if you try and you give your best you can never fully let someone down, there is always something there to fill in the blanks.'

 

"Death straps me to the hospital bed, claws its way onto my chest and sits there."

This sentence really made me think about how it would actually feel to be a witness of death. How people everyday blow things so out of proportion when really we have children and adults dying. . . . . .

INTERESTING QUOTES:  

 

I thought that this part of the book was interesting because you don't usually hear about that kind of stuff in a normal book. But i also think that its what makes the book better in a way.

 

 

 

 

 

All my white friends can count their deaths on one hand.

I can count my fingers, toes, arms, legs, eyes, ears, nose, penis, butt cheeks, and nipples, and still not get close to the my deaths.

And you know what the worst part is? The unhappy part? About 90 percent of the deaths have been because of alcohol.

this quote really took to me when i read it becuase i know from personal experience from my life

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Quotes:

He’s very intense about you… and very careful. I feel like I don’t really understand your relationship. Like there’s some secret I’m missing…

Renée Dwyer, Eclipse, Chapter 3, p.67

 

 

I don’t care who’s a vampire and who’s a werewolf. That’s irrelevant. You are Jacob, and he is Edward, and I am Bella. And nothing else matters.

Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 5, p.130

 

 

 

 

I know you’re frustrated that he’s keeping you locked up like this, but don’t give him too bad a time when he gets back. He loves you more than you know. It terrifies him to be away from you.

Rosalie Hale, Eclipse, Chapter 7, p.168

 

 

 

You’re more important than everyone else. And you’ve given me you. That’s already more than I deserve, and anything else you give me just throws us more out of balance.

Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 19, p.413 

 

     

 

I believe that. But I want you to know something — when it comes to all this enemies nonsense, I’m out. I am a neutral country. I am Switzerland. I refuse to be affected by territorial disputes between mythical creatures. Jacob is family. You are… well, not exactly the love of my life, because I expect to love you for much longer than that. The love of my existence. I don’t care who’s a werewolf and who’s a vampire. If Angela turns out to be a witch, she can join the party, too.

Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 6, p.143

 

 

BY: My Chemical Romance

To un-explain the unforgivable,

Drain all the blood and give the kids a show.

By streetlight this dark night,

A séance down below.

There're things that I have done,

You never should ever know!

And without you is how I disappear,

And live my life alone forever now.

And without you is how I disappear,

And live my life alone forever now.

Who walks among the famous living dead,

Drowns all the boys and girls inside your bed.

And if you could talk to me,

Tell me if it's so,

That all the good girls go to heaven.

Well, heaven knows

That without you is how I disappear,

And live my life alone forever now.

And without you is how I disappear,

And live my life alone forever now.

Can you hear me cry out to you?

Words I thought I'd choke on figure out.

I'm really not so with you anymore.

I'm just a ghost,

So I can't hurt you anymore,

So I can't hurt you anymore.

And now, you wanna see how far down I can sink?

Let me go, fuck!

So, you can, well now so, you can

I'm so far away from you.

Well now so, you can.

And without you is how I disappear,

And without you is how I disappear,

Whoa whoa... (And without you is how I disappear)

Whoa whoa... (And without you... is how, is how, is how...)

Forever, forever now!
