Vampire Diaries - third and last post

For the last post I?ve been thinking of describe the community where
everything is happening ? Mystic Falls. The name is describing the
village/community-not-so-very-unlike-Knivsta-place in a good way. It is
mysterious, cozy and in the middle of nowhere. Well it?s not very far from
Georgia I think, but everything you can see if you look to the north, south,
east and west is wood. How cozy isn?t that when you?ve got vampires, witches,
wizards and werewolves all around yourself?
Well, Mystic Falls contains a great school where all the students are going. It?
s made of bricks and how the school is, isn?t unlike how usual American schools
are. When I think of an American school the first thing I?m thinking of are the
American football-teams and all the cheerleaders. That?s exactly how this
school is ? the cool guys are playing football and the beautiful girls are all
cheerleaders. But why is it like that? It?s seems to me that this is a
privilege that makes an American school American. And if that?s an American
school, what?s the privilege for a Swedish school? Are there any privileges for
a Swedish school or is it just normal? And what?s normal? Well, I?m thinking a
lot and right now I?m going over to a new subject so this is where I?m stopping
with the school-talk.
The community contains a lot of dwellings too and they are quite old. They are
made of wood or bricks and are looking like usual, a little bit older rentals.
The asphalt on the roads in the ?inner city? aren?t repaired on a while and I
think that it?s looking like it did for over a century ago. We can call it a
well preserved community and I think that?s the point with it. It makes it a
little more mysterious if it?s happening in a small community with only five
polices ? now only the sheriff because of vampire attacks ? who can?t make a
lot for saving everyone.
The reason for the author Lisa to write about Mystic Falls as this
village/community-not-so-very-unlike-Knivsta-place is because it?s easy to make
the story more mysterious and she is using it in a great way. You now the story
get fluffy and puffy with all the descriptions. It?s a great way to make a
story more interesting if you ask me and you?ll get your own picture of how it
is and what it looks alike.
So now you know what I think of Mystic Falls and I still don?t have the answer
of what?s normal. The only thing I actually found out is that something normal
isn?t something unusual.

Vampire diaries - third post

This time I?m going to write about a lot of things because I can?t decide. I?m
going to make a short summary of what has happened and then I will write some
reflections about it etc.
Right now Elena is at Bonnie?s house and she?s just been bitten by a crow ?
Damon (vampire) as any animal. Fortunately Bonnie?s father helped Elena with
getting the crow away because it was sucking all her blood out from her neck.
Before that happened, Stefan (an other vampire) was out in the forest and
Elena, Bonnie, Meredith and Matt were out looking for him. When they found him
lying in a well full of herbs ? which are used to kill vampires ? he was really
hurt and they had to bring him home.
At home he was so weak and Elena was the only one in the room so she let him
drink her blood and he got better really fast, but Elena got worse. Her face
was pale and her eyes were exhausted.
Even though Elena is in danger because of the beings around her, they are all
lucky to have friends who aren?t humans too. Damon and Stefan are vampires ?
both bad and good ones ? and Bonnie is a nice witch.
When I read that I thought I was going to cry because I don?t want Stefan to
die and their love is so beautiful that you can?t imagine. The worst thing is
that Damon likes Elena too and I think Elena likes him a little bit even if she
says she loves Stefan.
I love this story because it feels so real and it?s so beautiful, but I hate it
in the way that it?s not real and I can tell you that these books are so much
better than The Twilight Saga. They are definitely worth reading.
Just because I wrote so much about Elena and Stefan I?m going to write a little
about them:
Elena is this perfect person with a body sculpture like a model. She has
straight, golden blond hair and blue, clear eyes.
Elena is always honest in what she says and she?s always there for her friends.
She is the one who?s haunted by many vampires, werewolves and witches because
she?s exactly like Katherine who?s haunted by the origins.
Elena?s boyfriend is Stefan and he is the nice vampire who is drinking animal
blood instead of human blood. That makes him the good guy, but I think that
drinking animal blood is just as horrible as human blood. What have the animals
done?
And now? the personal reflections.
I think that the missing of Stefan makes Elena feel nervous about what?s going
to happen next. Everyone thinks that vampires are so much stronger than humans,
but when they disappear or gets depressed you?ll get so nervous because they
are supposed to look strong and callous. And when they don?t, you can see the
truth and the truth isn?t like it is in stories.

Vampire Diaries - second post

Now I'm going to write about my personal reflections over a part that I've
just read. And just because I didn't forget the instruction-paper in school I'm
going to follow it just as the paper says.
I don't care what's waiting, said Elena. If that's where Stefan is, that's
where I'm going. Then that's where we're all going, said Meredith. Elena
hesitated. I can't ask you to do that, she said slowly. There might be
danger of a kind you don’t know about. It might be best for me to go alone.
Are you kidding? Bonnie said, sticking her chin out. We love danger. I want
to be young and beautiful in my grave, remember?
When I read that part which I did for a couple of times just to understand
how the protagonist Elena has it and how some others people have it or don’t
have it I started to think over how I have it and don’t have it.
Before I actually don’t know if I had those friends who would help me with such
a things as just getting over someone after a conflict, but nowadays I do know
that I have friends who are helping me in hard situations. That feeling you
have when you know that there are people who really care for you and wants to
help is the best feeling in the entire world.
Where I want to come is that I’m really lucky who has these great friends who
support me trough hard situations and always makes me happy. What would I be
without them?

Vampire Diaries - first post

Just because these books involve vampires I?m going to write about one of the
most important ones, Damon Salvatore.

Damon is described as a beautiful and handsome guy at about twenty years. ? He
was dressed as she had first seen him, in black. Soft black boots, black jeans,
black sweater, and leather jacket? He had the same dark hair, the same pale
skin, the same disturbing good looks.?
He?s really mean in the way he acts, but I think he?s a good guy inside and why
he?s so mean and patronizing in the way he speaks and acts is influenced during
his childhood/his time as a teenager for approximately two hundred and fifty
years ago. ?´Where?s Stefan?´ A line appeared between Damon?s dark eyebrows.
´Stefan who?´ Elena stepped forward and slapped him? ´Don?t lie to me ,´she
said, her voice shaking. ´I know who you are. I know what you are?And now
Stefan?s disappeared.´´Has he?´ ´You know he has!´ Damon smiled, and then
turned it off instantly. I?m warning you; if you?ve hurt him?´ ´Then what? he
said. ´What will you do, Elena? What can you do, against me?´? ´Tell me where
he is.´´Later, possibly ? for a price.´?
Why? When he was about eighteen years old he fell in love with a vampire named
Katherine. She was the one who turned Damon and his brother Stefan into
vampires and she also made them think that she loved them both. But the
brothers? father gets to know that vampires exist in real life to, not only in
old legends. So he started to hunt them and when he catches one he locks it
inside a tomb. Both Damon and Stefan thinks she?s dead and they are really sad
about the thought of not being with the most wonderful and gorgeous creature in
world anymore.
After a couple of centuries they meet each other again and then Katherine tells
Damon that she has never loved him. Stefan was the person she actually loved.
Damon gets really depressed and starts to hunt and kill people again.

I think that his story has a lot to do with how he is nowadays. He wants do be
this cool and macho guy, but inside he?s just as weak as everyone. Damon always
says that vampires don?t have feelings, but from my opinion they have feelings
just as we humans have. They just know how to hide them from other people and
that?s something impossible for many humans. You can hide some of your feelings
and thoughts, but when it comes to a point when it?s too much you can?t hide
them from everyone anymore.
Just think how great it would be if we were vampires, because then we wouldn?t
have to think about how much you?ll get hurt and life would be so much easier
if we could hide our feelings for some people.

The author is also trying to get Damon a bit mysterious and fearsome and that?s
something you can se in how she describes the environment when he is going to
come forward in the story:
?´Damon!´ Icy wind whipped Elena?s hair around her face, tearing at her light
sweater. Oak leaves swirled among the rows of granite headstones, and the trees
lashed their branches together in a frenzy?This weather was a show of his
power, meant to frighten her away? She turned and gasped. He was just behind
her, so close that her clothes brushed his as she turned??


Why the author Lisa J Smith described Damon as this handsome, mysterious, bad
guy is because she want?s us to see that it?s not the outside of people we
should judge. It?s the inside and Damon is a great example of how we are
judging people from the first meeting until you?ll actually knows what?s inside
the person.
When you start to read about Damon you think that he is this bad, gorgeous man
everyone wants, but after a couple of chapters you?ll see that he has a long
history behind. Inside he?s this small person who?s really nice and good, but I
think he doesn?t know how to show it in a proper way. Why he has to be proper
in the way he is, is because he is still living in 1864 when they had to act in
a special way when you wanted to be nice apart from now. I don?t think he
really knows how to behave for being good.
We have problems with judging people in our world to. In some cases if you see
someone and you don?t like his or her clothes, hair or body sculpture, the
first thing you think is that ?Oh my god, I can?t be with that person because
he or she is so ugly so he or she has to be a really bad person and I don?t
want to look bad in front of others?. Thinking that way isn?t good for anyone
so that?s why everyone has to try to get to know the person a little more
inside than just outside. I think that?s the best for everyone!
