Forgive me?

Can you all forgive me? I did a pretty awful job on this blog in the past.

But tonight I'm starting over! (Mostly because my grade is absolutely terrible because of my lazy job)




     This post is going to be about how I was reminded of something in The Romeo and Juliet Code by Phoebe Stone.


     In the book; Derek is embarrassed about his "disability". Which was the loss of one of his arms from polio.
     What that reminded me of, is in the book Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare, there's a character named James Carstairs (or Jem). 
     Jem has to take this drug called yin fen to keep him alive. Yet, the drug is killing him gradually in the process.
      Yes, it's a bit more severe than Derek's situation, but it's somewhat similar in their thoughts about it. Jem likes to keep from the subject of his situation, and tries to keep from thinking about it. Much in the same way that Derek probably feels.

     It reminds me of a lot of different things. When you have something like an amputation or a disease of some sort, you try to push the thought into the back of your mind.


     Maybe, if someone my age doesn't have many friends, because of some disability. Well, if they talk to you, don't push them to the back of your mind! I learned lately that most people don't try to stray from their little clique, so they don't meet too many people, right?



     Differences aren't a reason to prejudice people. c:
