How I felt reading today: I was really into it and I didn't really look back. I was focused and my mind was set into it that I wasn't really distracted at all. It is a graphic novel and it is short so it doesn't really do much for reading.

How I felt reading today: I was fun again I was this book and it was fun. I didn't get distracted again and really focused. It is still all a graphic novel so it is a bit short but I couldn't get my off it and get distracted.

While I was reading I found out that I was a bit slow when reading. I had about 20 - 40 pg read in about 30 minutes. So I think that I should read about 10 - 20 pg more than I did before like 30-60 pg.

It was fun, easy to be focused, and was really good to read because it was a graphic novel (manga). I read a little more than expected but I got to my goal of read to read more than 30-60 pg. But it was fun and interesting.

# data[].attributes.body
The book so far was really good. I really liked that the main character, Kiri, she is strong and does anything to do her best even in her worst conditions. She got a really hot fever but for the contest she still went there and did her best to finish it all her will and power. She even had to go to the hospital after falling down on stage when she was done because of how much she pushed herself to finish and have it look good. But I didn't like how she ended up with her "rival or her father's rival's son". I really like the other guy,Kazuhiko, because he was smarter, nicer to her, liked Kiri too, somewhat reasonable when thinking, and reasonable when speaking. I even would have prefered Kei ,nail art person in the group, because he was very cheerful and cute just like Kiri, he was very friendly, and was nice too. I would recommend this book to people that like anime, romance comedy, and beauty stuff (mostly hair stuff). It is because of how it is funny here and there, how there are stuff about the rivalry or love, and because there are some stuff about the hair cuts or the comments on the cunts.

How does kiri (main character) get affected by the rain?

# data[].attributes.body
The main character, Kiri, had a cold when she was in the rain. This affected the story because it showed that she was having a hard time cutting the hair and was struggling in the contest. It showed how it was hard for her at that state and that she was pushing herself to finish it in time. Mostly at the 2/3 mark it showed that she pushed herself too hard in that contest that she had to go to the hospital and was thankfully fine.

I got to my goal, it was really fun, and I was focused throughout the whole reading time until the bell rang. It is a graphic novel and will be one after so it is fun and was interesting. I love the book so far and there was some drama but mostly action so it was interesting. The book was super fun and made me focused for the whole time.

How does Mary affect the way Vash the Stampede acts?

# data[].attributes.body
He doesn't or wouldn't try to kill a human being even if the person is trying to kill him, for the sake of what Mary wanted to do and did while she died. He always think of her and stops when he is trying to kill someone. He also doesn't want to kill anyone because Mary sacrificed herself to save humanity.

Read a bit of not graphic novels books even though it might take me time and it will be boring. Try out at least 10-15 pages and above if it is books that are weird or hard and 20-30 pages above for easy or readable books.

I got to my goal now but because it was not a graphic novel and was about to trail off into imagination land or sleeping land. I was mostly focused. It was the better than I thought even though it was a Shakespeare book. But it was hard to know the whole meaning but I got it piece by piece while reading and I had to sometimes reread it to know the reading and ask. I think it was ok but I still want my graphic novels back.

# data[].attributes.body
The main character, Vash Stampede, couldn't kill someone even though the person was trying to kill them and he should have kill the people to not get hurt at all. But he just stops when he is trying to kill the person and think of Mary. That makes him think of the memory that Mary sacrificed herself to save humankind.
I don't know the feeling when someone special sacrifices themself and dies in front of you that your so sad and can't do something like killing someone when it is for self defence or because that person was a bad guy.

# data[].attributes.body
The Vash Stampede had a happy dream until it became a sad dream when he saw Mary dying in his dream to wake him up. He was sad later when thinking about Mary's death and still misses her after so long.
I can relate because I once had a dream about one of my family member that has passed away before. I was really happy to them again but turned sad when they were saying bye and leaving. I woke up, feeling a bit happy that they give us a message but was sad that she had left me in that dream and real life months before. I still remember her sometimes randomly and become sad anytime that I think of them and miss them.

“As if she were a fancy chandelier” (p. 11) 

# data[].attributes.body
Denotation: a decorative hanging light with branches for several light bulbs or candles.
Connotation: valuable, elegant, delicate, expensive, desirable
What mood or feeling is shown in this phrase? Positive? Negative?
Using the word chandelier adds a positive and sophisticated mood to this section of the story.
Why did the author use this phrase or word? What did it add to the story? What do we learn?
The author used the phrase fancy chandelier so we can learn how Esperanza's great-grandfather views her great-grandmother. We learn that he loved her and really wanted to marry her. He values her and sees her as a delicate, elegant, desirable woman. The message would have been significantly different if the author said, “As if she were a sack of potatoes.”

Personification. Windows are not animate objects so they can’t really hold their breath. Because it make you feel like they are really small. It makes me think of a window that is small like a fist.

How I felt reading today: I was kinda tired so in result I wasn't truly really focused on reading it fast or a lot but I was mostly focus on the book. It was a new book that isn't a graphic novel so I thought I would not be into it that much but it was really great to chose this book. I am also keep on working on my second goal and trying to do the goal of reading more books that aren't graphic novels, plus reading 10-15 pg. if hard or complicated and 20-30 pg. if easy or normal/readable books.

How I felt reading today: I wasn't tired or distracted. I was really focused on reading the book and was really into it the more I was reading. It was really interesting the character shows how she feels more viewable in a way even though the story tells everything she thinks and says. I still get to the goal for a 3rd time but I am getting closer to my goal.

She took on and tried to do more or better for her family. It was supported from, "I was the oldest one left now that Kenna was married and Kota was gone, and I did my best to contribute." This shows that even though her family is poor and she is the oldest now she is taking responsibility by doing stuff to help out.

America Doesn't Want to be in The Competition to Win the Prince's Heart  (pg. 8)

# data[].attributes.body
America is showing that she doesn't like it and that it she feels like she doesn't need this because this is not what she wants. This was shown from, "... "'for their service to the royal family.'" I rolled my eyes as she went on." The part shows in her action that she wasn't interested and was rolling her eyes out of not giving any mind of feelings toward the letter but a way that makes her seem like she is annoyed or that she doesn't want to hear it.

She gets Convinced to be Participate at Least in the Contest (pg. 26 + pg. 27)

# data[].attributes.body
In the story she is also dedicated to her lover, Aspen, that she is signing up in the contest and this is proven from, "I'd promised Aspen last night: that I would at least try. But now, in the light of day, I wasn't sure if I could make myself do it." She was also bribed to sign up from her mother and we can see that with the lines, ""But only f you sign up for the Selection." She was starting to smile now. She knew this would win me over, though I think she was expecting more of a fight." We finally see that she is going to sign up even though she didn't at first and somewhat inside her heart doesn't want to from, "I was already going to sign up, and now I could earn some money of my own!"

America is a poor girl that has to study, work, and take care of her younger siblings. All of her family members work too. I have never had to give up things I truly like to work for the family, take care of other people (because I don't have younger siblings), or been poor that I can't eat/ get enough food for the whole family to eat.

# data[].attributes.body
America didn't want to participate and want the prince at first. But later she participated because of some people that were close to her and later on in the contest she ended up liking the prince. I kind of relate to that because I used to not want to participate in anything but people that were close and important to me convinced me to participate in stuff, then I ended up liking it like how America ended up liking the prince.
