Seoul, South Korea

would love to visit Seoul because it's so beautiful and unique. I would love to live there one and learn there culture. But one main reason is because I'm in love it empowers me, I like Kpop. I would one day like to meet or see them in the streets in Seoul. But I would love to try new things like there food and language. It would be nice to leave my comfort spot and see new things.

Compare and Contrast

Can you see the light?

Why can we never ever get along?
I am so broken that I can feel it
The hardest points will stay with you life long
Already too deep inside the large pit
Stars can not shine without all the darkness
my hands shake while my head spins on and on
I wonder if they care! Can I express?
They say it's alright, but it is just a con
In a war with myself. There is no hope
I bet it would be easier to die
Only dim lights are seen in the telescope
It is now time for me to say goodbye 
Everyone just stares at me while I weep
All I want to do is die way down deep

This poem remindes me so much to the main character Lara from Backlash. Lara was a depressing girl. "At these times I wish the pills did work so I wouldn't be hear right now" . She always talks about how much she wishes those pills would of work so she wouldn't feel. But one difference is this poem is just about someone that has those thoughts Lara took pills because of cyberbullying. Lara also has very hard times expressing herself. Lara when she didn't like something she will say like I wish I was dead now. Or people don't understand.

Blacklash

(Simple Intro) 

This book is about a girl name Lara who try's to commute suiced and fails. Ever since that her life isn't the same. It started off by a Facebook message from a boy named Christan. They stared off by talking talking and then it was flirting. Lara doesn't know this guy but as a typical teenager she texts with him everyday for about 2-3 hours. But one day Christan posted on her Facebook wall "your an awful person" , " the world would be a better places without you" . This made Lara think what she did wrong why did he do that. Everything went wrong that day and she took all the pills in her bathrooms and matter went to her hands. When she failed she ended up to a rehab type places and now she cant have privacy. She needs to be guided all the time. When she woke up she found out that Christan wasn't real . WHAT! Who could have done this? Why did they do this ? Was it more than one person? Read the book to find out.

Backlash is a very interesting book. This book has four points of view . Lara (main character) Sydney (Lara's sister) Bree (Lara's ex best friend ) and Liam (Bree's brother / Sydney friend). I really like that the author decided to do a four point of view book because I like to see what the other characters think and think about the situation that are in the book. "My sister looks kind of like the flowers wilting the plastic pee bottle on the dresser." This tells me Syndey think of her as person with loss with something because of they way she described she saying she looks wilting. I think some how all this is going to effect Sydney (I know it it is going to but hard ) I feel like her parents don't put much attention to her that she might end up the same. Hopefully not.

Backlash

Today I finished my Backlash by Sarah Derer Littman and I recommend it if your into sad but humorous story's . I honestly thought this book was going to be like another suicide book and everyone was heartbroken. But I wasn't it was more of a different story and many people are telling it a different way. But I still have a question (Sign post Tough Question) what is everyone thoughts on Lara now. Ever since her incedent people thought of her as the depressed girl . I don't think she will forgive the person who did this. I wonder who are they going to avoided each other. But why didn't this person think before he/she did this? Why didn't this person let Lara explain? After all this Lara is now on the cheerleading team but not the same. She still can't have privacy or have anything to cause her harm but now she can close the doors and be were she wants to with someone. Also she can be online , with some on seeing her. The ending wasn't how I thought is was it made me feel some type of personal connection. But in some parts I just want to like go in the book and say HA! Carma because ever since that person did this he/she been have bad 
I recommend this book it's really good.
