Spring Break Plans

     In this blog post I will be talking about some plans I have made for spring break. I've noticed that most people go on a trip or a vacation, they have the chance to get out of this freezing cold weather, enjoy the great times and come back with a nice tan. Unfortunately I don't have plans to go on any kind of trip. I don't really know what I'm going to do, but I do know I will most likely be sleeping in quit often. I find spring break time to relax and just take a break from everything. Waking up for school is not all that fun, I'm not so much of a morning person. I plan on hanging out with friends, on Wednesday of spring break I have plans to go to the mall with Kyla and we also may see a movie later that day. We will be having a sleepover to celebrate her birthday. Honestly, this would be a ton of fun, even though I'd say it might get a little out of hand. I plan to visit family. I will probably go to my cabin in Ontario for a few days, we only usually go there in the summer or for celebrations/holidays because it is a long, 3 hour drive. The reason why we might be going there for this spring break is to celebrate my brothers birthday, but also to see family. So as you have read this blog, you can probably see how I don't have many big plans at all.

     The purpose of this photo is to represent my cabin in Ontario, on Black Sturgeon Lake. Some of the things I really enjoy doing out there are, fishing, boating, swimming, having bonfires and sun tanning. This is probably where I would want to be most, more than anywhere. It's such a beautiful place full of nature, with entertainment at it finest! It's very relaxing and is a great place to have family get together's. This spring break we plan to go to my cabin and celebrate my brothers birthday. This is also a time to see family and catch up with them. I am usually at my cabin for almost the whole summer. There are tons of good times that I have experienced at this lake. I could say there are many memories that will never be forgotten. There are quit a few cabins around us, which is something that I like about my lake. Having friends and other people around make everything more fun. One thing I could say about my cabin is that it puts a smile on my face.

In my book tweaked, I liked how the author explained in dept, what the characters feelings were. This reinforced the feeling of how Gordie felt about his brother Chase once he found out he was into drugs and all he had to do was get back to his dealers to keep in touch with the selling. This gives suspense of what's going to happen next. I also enjoy how the author comes right out and adds in something you're not expecting, it makes the books much more interesting. For example, "I screamed-a long heartfelt scream." At this point in the book, I wasn't expecting it to be this exciting, it was a dull scene and the author made it more intense to catch the readers attention. One other thing that I thought the author did a good job of was how throughout the whole book she wrote in Gordie's point of view. This gives a better understanding of Gordie's feelings which are noticeable from his reactions of the decisions that Chase makes.

     There are not to many connections that I can make with my book but there are a few. One connection that I have made with my book Tweaked is that when Chase and his brother Gordie were little they were taught how to hunt and some great techniques of hunting. This relates to my life by the way I was taught by my dad, he taught me multiple hunting skills since I was a little girl. Chase and Gordie were taught many different aspects to hunting. These brothers were taught together, this brought them close when they were younger and as they got older they grew apart and went their own ways. They have both made many completely different decisions from each other. This is similar to my brother and I, we used to do everything together when we were little kids, and now we are basically opposites, we're nothing alike. Another connection I can make to my book is how Gordie's brother Chase is always out, he is rarely ever home so Gordie or his parents don't see much of him. It's a little weird how my brothers name is also Chase, I don't really see him to often either because he is in university now and unfortunately doesn't live with us anymore. These connections from my book have been made through my life and experiences, they are similar in my opinion.
