Reality? No.

As always, I put myself in Bella’s shoes. This time, I thought about what it would be like living with Charlie and the lifestyle that she lives. It seems to me that almost every night Edward sleeps over at Bella’s with Charlie having no idea. I can’t picture sleeping next to someone every night right now because I always have to have room to move around…sooooo…that wouldn’t work out…but if it were Edward maybe I would make an exception. Or maybe not…? He’s a freakin’ vampire for goodness sake, just having the thought that a murderer is sleeping next to you…and the fact that he is so ridiculously attracted to your blood. On the other hand, I think about how rich the Cullen’s are it just makes me sick. Considering they’ve been around for such a long time, and considering that Carlisle is a doctor, well lets just say CHACHING. Having a boyfriend that just has it all sound too surreal...good looks, read minds, rich, the sweet beautiful presence he brings, and a beautiful family. What’s not to like? I enjoy daydreaming so much of non-realistic things that I think it’s a problem…it’s not like I hate my life and want something different, it’s just that I like to experience things without changing my life. Like, experiencing things without having a huge affect on me or whatever…it may confuse a few, but it all makes sense in the end. Btw Jarrett listens to 101.3 in the mornings by herself…just thought I’d let everyone know…J

New Moon #2

I’m going to share some “bookmarks” with you. I found these while I was reading, just kind stood out!
I really think it’s annoying when Stephenie Meyer brings in a “new character” or like background on what is happening…it’s just like read the first book and you’ll know who it is, it’s just really annoying how it’s always like Emmett, the big bear-like brother whose also a vampire, it’s like we know that already…sooooo…
On page 15, yes this was a while ago, Bella admits to being legitimately bad tempered with Edward, which was a HUGE shock. It never happened, it was really awkward how she did get mad at him for it being her birthday, etc, but I would totally get mad to considering, gosh just everything about my life then being in love with an immortal, knowing that you’ll die someday, COME ON TURN ME INTO A VAMPIRE
(Just overall) Maybe I’m just in a really bad mood right now, or I’m just really pissed off that everyone keeps saying this book is so slow and tedious, but just keep reading! It makes me not want to read at all, I just wish that nobody really said anything about it so I could fully find out for myself.
In conclusion, I really like using my bookmarks. They make me stop and think about what I’m reading and check myself to make sure that I’m thinking critically. It’s really late and I’m freaking tired and I’m pretty sure this is 250 words. This is Maggie Anderson and I’m SIGNING OFF.

New Moon

I’ve heard so many different opinions on New Moon, but there’s always one comment that remains identical to one another, the book starts slow. Everyone has said that I should just get through the tough parts, just read through them, right now, I don’t know even what they’re talking about. It makes me have so many different thoughts on how the book will turn out. I wonder, will Edward ever turn Bella into a vampire? Will Alice? Does Edward keep Bella a human so she can reproduce? Ok yeah weird thought but I wondered if Bella was to have Edward’s child or something like that, so when Bella dies maybe Edward would still share part of her with the child that will grow. I also wonder why Edward won’t just DO IT…just change her, I get so frustrated. I get butterflies whenever someone says, just wait…because I have NO IDEA WHAT’S TO COME and it just makes me want to read more and more. I hate being busy because I clearly haven’t posted for a while let alone read as much as I would like to, but I find time when I can. During my reading I have made different tabs where I found something really interesting, or confusing, something that stands out, or maybe an enjoyable sentence that I just really liked.

Anotated Bibliography #2

Hopson, Krista. “Majority of parents say they participate in medical decisions about their child”. Journal of Pediatrics. University Of Michigan Health Center.

Colleagues collected information in a Seattle hospital surveying parents and their involvement with medical decisions involving their child. Hopson explains that parents should consult with the physicians to have a better outcome. Children in Washington under the age of 18 are minors which mean they are must have parental consent during medical procedures. Research is continuing to find weather the involvement of parental consent is beneficial to more children than just to have the physician’s direction for procedures.

In this article, Hickey has used data from all different kinds of reliable resources such as medical facilities and law encyclopedias. Her information gives plenty of knowledge from different organizations and states regarding their laws on minor medical ability. It shows many different qualifications that some states have in order for a minor to make a decision. Some qualifications/complications involve religions, different state laws, mature/emancipated minors, etc. Decisions are very two sided and there is really no fine line between cases, every situation is different.
