Every Day, Blog Reflection

Blog Reflection

My best blog post would be my Theme and Summary post, http://abigailsblogreading.blogspot.com/2013/11/theme-and-summary.html   In my blog post I explain how the theme is clearly love and give the reason that A does the most difficult thing it has ever done in its life completely out of love.   I didn’t want to give out any revealing information so I told about the end and how the love from Rhiannon kept growing and growing until the time he had to make the life changing decision he made.  A loves Rhiannon the same through the text, except for the face that it grows stronger and stronger.  I also had to summarize a chapter, which I did; Chapter 1.  I chose Chapter 1 to again make sure I didn’t reveal anything.  The summary I wrote explained the main ideas throughout the long first chapter.

I chose choice one, which would be my reading and writing goals for the next trimester as well as areas of improvement for my reading and writing.  My reading goal for next tri would be to simply read more books.  I only finished 2 this trimester and I would like to finish at least 3 or more next tri.  I started reading a series last year, took a break, and recently started back where I left off, so I will hopefully always have a book I can read that I’m actually interested in because the book series has several books in it.  My writing goals for my blog posts would be to write more often.  In the beginning of this tri, I made sure I was caught up and working on my posts.  By the end, I was greatly lacking in my posts and their qualities in my opinion.  So, my goal for next tri would be to post more and stay caught up, as well as making sure they stay at the same standard and have them continue to increase.  The area for improvement in my reading would be to pick harder books.  I am still reading difficult books right now, but I want to continue to raise the level of my reading.  My area of improvement of my writing would relate to my goals.  I want to be more descriptive and have more diction and details in my posts.  If my reading improvement comes true, I will raise my vocabulary level and be able to add that to my posts.

Every Day, Overview 8

I finally finished the book!  I don't want to give away anything but I can say that what I hoped for in the end did not happen but I was still satisfied.  I never would have guessed what actually did happen in the end!  On a scale of 1 to 5 stars I would rate Every Day a 4 out of 5.  I would rate it this because it was a really good book but some parts seemed to move very slowly.  Something that did frustrate me throughout the book was actually trying to figure out how this was possible.  I couldn't wait until the end to figure out why this is happening to A, how its happening, and if it will stop but none of those questions were answered.  A just sort of happened and I just want to know why and how.  Overall the book was amazing and I would definitely recommend it! It is like no other book I have ever read and it was definitely one of the best!

Every Day, Theme and Summary

In my opinion, the theme is hands down, love.  I finished the book and the ending is in no way what I expected.  I don't want to completely give away the ending but what I can say is; what A does in the end was probably the hardest thing it has ever done in it's life and it was completely out of love.  I encourage you to read the book to find out how it ends because its something you would never had guessed.  For my summary, I'm just going to do the first chapter, so I don't give anything away that will reveal important information.  The first page was 28 pages long so the summary is going to also be a bit lengthy.
     In the beginning, A explains everything about itself.  How it adjusts to who it is, and how it has always been like this.  Today, it is Justin.  Justin doesn't exactly take care of himself and A thinks the day is not going to be well.  At school, A meets Justin's girlfriend, Rhiannon, and it's instantly interested.  A doesn't know at the time  but it is obviously into Rhiannon.   A can tell that Justin doesn't really respect or notice Rhiannon that much unless he wants something.  A is so in the moment though with Rhiannon that it doesn't care what will happen with Justin or anything else, it just wants Rhiannon and for her to be happy.  A takes Rhiannon to the beach and doesn't act like Justin at all, but more like itself.  The two spend the day together and they both feel comfortable. In the end, all A wants is to stay.  It loves Rhiannon and needs to have her.  But will it work out?

Every Day, Overview 7

Things are unfortunately getting worse with Rhiannon and A.  Rhiannon is with A one day at school, so everyone thought she was cheating on Justin, causing them to break up.  Rhiannon is now falling in love with A but has no idea how they could make everything work.  I feel like Rhiannon is giving A a really hard time, even though she is right.  There is almost no way they can truly be together, even though I really don't want to believe it.  Also,  Nathan has contacted A again, and this time A responds back.  They meet and surprisingly A tells him everything but begs him to not tell anyone else.  Nathan breaks his promise to keep quiet and tells Reverend. A somehow gets out of the situation and never speaks or contacts Nathan again. I am almost done with the book and am really eager to see how it ends.

Every Day, Overview 6

A has been in so many different bodies lately and each body he's in, he tries to meet up with Rhiannon.  Something huge that happened in the book, was that A got into the body of Rhiannon.  A tried to be thoughtful and careful when in Rhiannon's body.  A tried to keep her usual day, usual and do nothing different except for going on a hike to the top of a hill.  Rhiannon was grateful that A didn't try to mess up anything her life, including breaking up with Justin.   I do respect A for not doing anything in Rhiannon's life.  I thought it was mature and thoughtful.  I wonder what will happen next through the story!
