Breaking Dawn

Picture this: world where you had been through the most painful things anyone could ever imagined, and when your finally happy, there are people who still want to destroy you? Stephanie Meyer's , Breaking Dawn really make me realize that when you truly love someone you can overcome anything.
One possible theme for this book would be that, when two people truly love each other, they can overcome anything that might get in their way, so that they can finally be happy forever. When Bella finally gets married with her soulmate, and the inmaginable happens, the fact that she becomes pregnant from a vampire. She never imagined that the Volturi would come back, to take away her most precious gift, and destroy her family.
Meyer's writing style draws the reader into this world full of love and hope, with such vivid descriptions, and true love forever,it make me feel like I myself was living Bella's world. One can hardly turned a page without realizing that Edward's and Bella's love gets stronger and stronger.
The setting for the novel takes place in Forks, Washington, were werewolfs and vampires have to leave all their differences aside and protect Bella and her daughter Renesmee. Bella really shows her love and stong spirit toward her soulmate and her daughter.
This novel reminds me of the whole Twilight Saga, a saga that really demostrates what true love really is. What true love can overcome. This books are really powerful. They really get to your heart.
I really would recommend this books to all the people that believe and true love and in fairytales.

The Battle of Jericho

Picture this a world where you will even give your life to be in the Warriors of Distinction, the oldest and most exclusive club in school. Sharon M. Draper intrigued me with the fact that whenever people really want something they will probably give their own life for it if necessary.
One possible theme for this book remains that your biggest dream can cost something really precious. Jericho the main character in the novel, has always wanted to become part of the Warriors of Distinction, the oldest and most exclusive club in his school. He wants this mainly because just being a pledge wins him the attention of Arielle, one of the hottest girls in his class, whom he's been too shy even to talk to before now.
Draper's writing style draws the reader into this world full of grieve and pain, with her vivid descriptions, and her word choice assists in moving the plot along quickly. For instance, one can hardly turn a page without a conversation turning into sadness, which keeps the characters voices very sad. This story is first person point of view, though allowing the reader to also experienced it like first person point of view.
The setting for the novel, takes place in Los Angeles, California. In a time where everyone wanted to become part of the Warriors of Distinction. Everyone beliefs that this group, those only do good things for the school, and that it makes the student's tough and strong and proud of thereselves.
This novels reminds me of November Blues, were November wanted to do anything and everything just so that she could feel acepted in school. November the main character of this book and Jericho, both want to do everything to achieve their dreams.
I would recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys sad stories. It you enjoy November Blues, you will definitely enjoy The Battle of Jericho, by the same author.

A tax we could learn to love

In a recent article by David Frum titled " A tax we coul learn to love", propopes a brand new carbon tax that would raise more revenue than ending Bush tax cuts for high incomes, would allow for middle-class tax relief and would help in the battle against climate change.
The earth continues to warm, and to warm fast with serious consequences for human life and welfare. 2012 saw the worst drought in the United States in half a century. Russia suffered its second bad drought in three years. Climate shocks to these two countries are raising food prices worlwife, posing an especially acute threat to the world's poorest. Major storm events strike harder and more of ten, because warming oceans create condisions for fiercer hurricanes.
I believe that David Frum new tax is the best tax that anyone has ever proposed. People all over the world are saying that the world will end this December. I believe that it wont, but what's happening to the atmosphere is terribly affecting the world.  The warmer and warmer climate has brought down many crops plantations and the hurricanes had killed alot of people. Also the hurricanes had destroyed many people's houses, and because of that they are homeless and without work.
Emissions continue to grow so rapidly that an international goal of limiting the ultimate warming of the planet to 3.6 degrees, established three years ago, is on the verge of becoming unattainable. Common emissions in the United States have been declined since 2009, not emissions per person ( those have been declining for decades), but emissions in absolute terms. The weak enconomy explains part of the decline, but the real hew of the story is the natural gas  fraking resolution.
The global warming has been affecting people for decades, but know it has gotten even worst. And the cause of this is the natural gas fraking revolution. Stubborning high unemployment and fiscal crisis have been  the topic all over the world. Even this is affecting the nature and the animals. Forest are burning and animals are starving.
This nuclear warming is not only getting worst in Hong Kong, were there has been a drumbeat of gloom. This is happening all over the world. In some places, like in Vriginia, more than one forest has burned terribly bad. And in most places like Florida, birds are dying of starvartion.
