CC#1: Larry Stylinson
A recent article written by Ben Harvey for the Huffington Post by the title of "One Direction Bromance or Romance? All Aboard the S.S. Stylinson!", Mr. Harvey explains how Larry Stylinson is real. "Larry shipper's" beliefs, and how the Larry shippers love him for believing in the Stylinson relationship.After Harvey wrote his article on specifically two of the boys from 1D, he has quoted some of the tweets he has received ever since he typed out this tweet, "After watcheing the "Bible", I tweeted 'OK, I'm on board with you #Larry fans. Whatever is going on between them, is beautiful". Some feedback he received was, "A prophet has spoken" and "Ben Harvey you're my God". People from all over have been sending Ben Harvey multiple tweets on how he is their "hero" and that "an adult finally agrees with their OTP". People on Tumblr have even started making blogs dedicated to him saying things like "he's the only one who works in this business who understands us Larry Believers". The picture that I have placed in this document is one of the several that were sent to Mr. Harvey. Harvey has even stated that, "many believe that there is an orchestrated conspiracy to keep Harry and Louis in the closet, and that Eleanor, Louis' professed girlfriend, is his 'beard'".
I do agree that the two boys that Harvey is mentioning, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson, are indeed together and have a happy relationship going on.
I disagree that Ben Harvey is a "God". To me he is just a man that believes that Harry and Louis are in a committed relationship.
A connection that I can make is that I am a Larry shipper myself and I believe in the fact that Styles and Tomlinson are in a relationship and that Eleanor Calder, "Louis' professed girlfriend" is a cover up.
In order to learn more about this intriguing information, I can do research on: Ben Harvey, Larry Stylinson, and Modest! Management (One Direction's management).
Book Review: The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Ever felt down and don't know exactly how to lift your spirits up? Read The Perks of Being a Wallflower! This book will really change the impact on your life and really get you thinking more. Stephen Chbosky's The Perks of Being a Wallflower really got me thinking with it's touching dramatic events.
The life lesson of this book is that you should always try to look at the bright side of events that happen in your lifetime. Good examples that Charlie describes are: "I feel great! I really mean it. I have to remember this for the next time I'm having a terrible week. Have you ever done that? You feel really bad, and then it goes away, and you don't know why. I try to remind myself when I feel great like this that there will be another terrible week coming someday, so I should store up as many great details as I can, so during the next terrible week, I can remember those details and believe that I'll feel great again. It doesn't work a lot, but I think it's very important to try", "All I hope is that my sister feels beautiful, and her new guy makes her feel beautiful. I hope that Craig doesn't make Sam feel that her prom isn't special just because he's older. I hope the same for Mary Elizabeth and Peter. I hope Brad and Patrick decide to makeup and dance in front of the whole school. And that Alice is secretly a lesbian and in love with Brad's girlfriend Nancy (and vice versa), so nobody feels left out", and "Basically, Craig had been cheating on Sam ever since they started going out...I never once thought that it would mean Sam might start liking me. All I cared about was the fact that Sam got really hurt. And I guess I realized at the moment that I really did love her. Because there was nothing to gain, and that didn't matter".
The author's style to me was actually quiet welcoming. I felt like a friend of mine had given me their diary to read or someone was sending me letters on how their life was going. I never once thought that the way that Chbosky wrote the book was bad in any way. It is unique from other books I've read. Other books that I've read from the past do not feel like I have some connection with them. This book did in a way because of how Charlie had two senior friends and he is just starting out in high school. The same thing happened to me last year. Another reason why TPOBAW is unique is that I've never really read a book that deals with someone writing letters as the actually story. And last, this book actually made me cry at the end when I finally finished it. I felt many moving emotions that I've never felt before. The main characters practically are Charlie, Sam, and Patrick. Charlie is a laid back kind of boy who goes with what everyone else is doing, Sam is a little on the wild side and loves to have a good time, and Patrick is just like Charlie in the way he likes to kick back and just prepare himself for what life is going to hit him with. The characters made me enjoy the book for the way they acted. The setting of this book is a boy named Charlie starts writing letters to his "friend" on all of the situations that are going on in his life. The setting affects the conflict within the book. Because Charlie just needs to get all of his emotions and feelings out to someone but not someone he personally knows. This book connects to a personal issue I had about 5 months ago when graduation occurred. One of my really good friends had graduated and just like Charlie, it made me really upset. Another connection would be that I do keep a diary and write in it every once in awhile.
Yes, I would recommend this to ANYONE in the world! I love this book so much that I would buy all of my friends copies and make them read it, that's how much this book is really worth reading. If you ever need a quick book to read on any circumstances, I suggest you read The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
