The gossip girl prequel: it had to be you

I am now on page 377 of the prequel to the gossip girl series by Cecily Von Ziegesar. This book is everything that happened to the characters in 9th and 10th grade, before the books started. Throughout this series, there is one girl named "gossip girl" that has a blog site and writes about what's going on in the character's lives. The catch is that she never reveals her true identity so during the book, the people are also trying to find out who this is and how she knows everything about everyone. I can definately relate to this book because its boys and girls that are my age, just going into high school. But other than that, their lives are completely different. They live the high life with rich families and packed weekend schedules, almost like they're famous. Overall, this series is a very fun and detailed image of what it's like to live on he upper east side of New York City.

Compairing Emelina and Codi

Two characters that are very different are Emelina and Codi. The fact that they are different is what makes them such good friends. Emelina is very giving, demanding and short. She is giving because she let Codi stay in her house for a year. One thing that shows she is demading is when she gives strict commands to her children or to J.T. Another characteristic that sets Codi and her apart is that she is very short. One day when Codi and she were talking about high school, they brought up how Codi was always the daddys girl and never did anything wrong. While Emelina was a popular girl who was the complete opposite of Codi. 

While Emelina has all those winning quaities, Codi is a person who feels very lost and is secretive but also can be loyal and helpful. One reason she is lost is because she moves around a lot and can never really settle down in one place where she feels she belongs. An example of her secretive side is that she has never told anyone other than her father about her pregnancy. Tellig only her father also shows that she is loyal to him and trusts him and that is the reason why she;s back in Grace taking care of him. Having such different qualities and personalities is one reason why these two women are still very close friends.

Caring Bridge Blog!

          

 

Something i read atleast 3 times a day is a blog on the caring bridge website. Caring bridge is a site that hospitals set up for frinds and family to check the progress of patients and write loving messages for them to read. My friend Brett Hansen-Begg got in a car accident on August 29th and is now in Hennepin County Medical Center. He is on his 21st day of a coma and has made remarkable progress! Today his glasgow score was 11 which means he's responding to exercises and verbal commands!! Reading the messages straight from the hospital and how upbeat they are help me get through each day with a smile on my face because i know Brett is going to be ok. His parents update the site with information on his progress several times daily and it's my favorite part of the day to go on and check for updates.
