The book I am reading is called "Elixir" it’s written by Hilary Duff. In the second chapter Clea Raymond pursues her goal of finding the mystery man who is in all of her pictures. She goes to Brazil and finally mystery man face to face. He saves her life when a man tries to kidnap her. She immediately falls in love with him for a reason she herself can’t explain. She tries to find out how he was in the back ground in all of her pictures since she was a kid and she never met him but he doesn't know how to explain it to her. My personal reaction to this chapter is shocking. I couldn't believe that she finally found the man she was so desperate to meet. At first she was scared of him and I thought that would affect the way she was with him but it seems that loves always wins in the end. I believe that the author’s intent was to surprise us in with unseen news. The author wants us to be reading at the edge of seat wanting us to read more and more. She wants us to imagine what was happening as we're reading the book. She doesn't want us to get bored. Always guessing about what's going to happen next. I think that the pattern of organization that the author is using is sequence. The author writes every event in order of how it happened. She doesn't write stories about the past or future but only of the present. BY JESSICA RIVERO.

My blog today is on a news report that I saw, it's titled "6 killed in Russia bus explosion; suicide bombing suspected". The report states that investigators think a female cause the explosion. The bombing occured at the city of Volgograd on Monday afternoon. The explosion injured thirty three and killed six. Detectives believe that the suicide bomber was a thirty years old from Russia's semiautonomous Republic of Dagestan. After viewing a video recorded behind the bus investigators think the female boarded around 2pm and the explosion happend right after. My personal reaction to this is that everyday more and more people are doing drastic things to express what they want and that makes me wonder how it's going to affect our future. It's sad to think that the bomber knowingly got on a bus that went through busy streets and killed six people and injured thirty three. Personally I would feel to guilty to ever do something like that. I believe that the authors intent was to inform us that the world is still corupt. Although we may think that we are safe, we don't truly know how safe we really are. By Jessica Rivero.
