This story is about a girl named Alice who follows the white rabbit and falls down the rabbit hole into her own fantasyland. It's about no matter how huge or how short things turn out over time as the story progresses for Alice to deal with. I knew the story in picture by heart - the last time I've read it was September 2012 when I read the Dalmatian press edition. I thought it was a bloodhound at first, but it turns out to be a puppy with brown curls like in the original text. Now I get it. The story was such a non-stop in one sitting for a few hours. But who cares about this book?
The book is not for everybody. In 1900, Woodsville High of New Hampshire suspended a book from classroom use due to explicative, references to sex, and demeaning interpretations of religion and teachers. I really don't get it because it does not refer sexual fantasies and what-not; how silly these people got referred to the love child-like interest between Lewis and Alice while they had read this book. I figured out problems like four times five is twenty, four times six is twenty-four and four times seven is twenty-eight. London is the capital of Great Britain, Paris is the capital of France and Rome is the capital of Italy. See? Is that simple. It was also banned in the province of Hunan, China in 1931 for the portraying animals acting on the same level as humans, I get it. But the 1951 Disney film: When it first came out in 1951, it 'Americanizes' the story British critics call it. Americans criticized Disney for distorting Carroll's prose. Today, it was considered one of the best-loved classics of all time. In my own words, this book contains pure imagination the entire time, minimum drug use, one mentioning to alcohol at the beginning of the Mad Tea Party scene and anthromorphism throughout the book.
It has been one of my childhood memories I've known enough to connect my life to this book as related due to my autism and great imagination from the past, present and future. There is no other than a blog can describe over a thousand words of imagination, love, friendship, true story of life in reality, dreams and future. In other words, this blog was considered to be the coming-of-age tale about me as a senior whose blog has been inspired by this book. I can never forget Alice because she was so similar to me and I will never forget this story no matter what. Graduation is right around the corner, I will be dearly missed because I was about to turn in the school netbook by tomorrow, and when it's turned in, I have no more blog posts left to describe on my own, but I can write down reviews and more on my journal to put it on my blog soon at the end of August like last summer. I know that Black Blazer and his cousins will come back here for my graduation weekend with their silver plastic badges for my senior breakfast and moving up assembly with me performing a love song. It all came to pass that technical stuff has come and gone. I survived indeed to have my freedom to search. I'm now looking for freedom and independence. I will enjoy life outside my blog to connect some details per post. I will succeed in school (that's about it) and college. Someday, I will be famous; and one day, everyone will love me as a beloved millenial in today's technological world to be placed as a classic for my blog. Thanks for joining me in 2013-14, followers. Hats off to me and go enjoy yourselves over this summer. You all survived through this blog! Congrats, you made it!!! Well done and... have a great summer. See you in the fall! Talk to you later! Bye. This has been a blog about my life. Hope you enjoyed the blog? Get your comments below and see you when I come back from summer break.
And one more thing after I walk out the door - this is going to be a long, busy summer ahead.

Chapter 11: Prom
On June 7, 2014, we go home, I got ready for this special night with help from my mom and Simone. On our way out, I was in the royal purple dress and fancy makeup with curls ironed. We went out into a car and drove to Bellevue Club. It was the most luxurious place in any hotel, even though it was meant for my dream wedding reception. This place held exactly what the school wants and I had a blast on the dance floor. We had great food, had pictures for free... it was a night to remember by far in my life.

Penelope Book Review
There was a girl who was born with a pig snout (the curse that comes from the Wilhern household after more than 150 years in the making). Her name was Penelope and she was raised in the mansion. One day, when she was 25 years old, she had to discover what she's missing on the outside of the household in order to make a living happen in order to find a husband and live happily ever after. Can the curse be lifted when she's married?
This is the last book review of the year, even though it was the coming-of-age story. It took place in almost a year, but it may be a perfect fit for Halloween (it's my common sense). Plus, the sequence about how her great-great-great-grandfather Ralph had an affection and fell in love with the witch's daughter Clara, and unfortunately, it came to the tragic part when he purposed to Clara, who was obviously pregnant; she said no and committed suicide in the well. That started a plan for the curse: the next girl in the Wilhern household to be born will have the face of the pig. And that what how the curse was caused and has been affected over 125 years later. I think the author did a good job on how the curse began. The time setting for the book is this year, which is 2014 and it took place in the United Kingdom. What a British-American regime this has turned out to be - a movie tie-in novelization! The last media tie-in novelization I ever experienced from last year is Merlin: The Old Magic by James Mallory, which has been adapted from the 1998 TV mini-series (this is the first one). I got two so far as read by me, but I still got nine more to be read by me and remaining in the bookshelf for too long. Throughout most of the story, it was such a very good job with some detail flaws that left me feel a bit apprehended, but am content to hear about Penelope's backstory. It was somewhat okay, but it may be recommended for ages twelve and up. I classified it was a juvenile/YA movie tie-in book, so four and a half stars will do.

Top Ten Books to Be Placed in the Beach Bag
Dedicated to The Broke and the Bookish, this week's theme is Books to Be Placed in the Beach Bag or... better yet: the Reading for Knowledge colbalt blue used tote bag! The pick for the books is the academic reading that prepares me for life and in search for freedom - it's all part of growing up! Since I finished The Help by Kathryn Stockett and Life of Pi by Yann Martel over the last two summers, summer's a best time to read, but I got my picks from the list:
1. Tales of the Otori: Across the Nightningale Floor by Lian Hearn
This is the first out of the total five following the 2007 prequel and sets out the first of the three-parter in feudal Japan in the author's imagination. A lucky guess for reading by the charming start.
2. Keeping Corner by Kashmira Sheth
Huh?! That's so similar to Girl Rising but far from The Kite Runner.
3. Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer
Based on the true story about the Everest climb from the 1990s.
4. The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
I've seen two parts of the trilogy and now they're making one more before the saga's complete. Better read it now Nat (just a note to self).
5. Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer
Another novel written by the same author of Into Thin Air.
6. The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein
This is one sappy dog story I'm going to read, but the sappy romance story for once is going to be The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks.
7. A Blessing Over Ashes by Adam Fifield
This reminds me of Finding Miracles by Julia Alvarez, except it's more Perks of Being a Wallflower with the memoir type about people escaping to Cambodia and less October Baby.
8. Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien
"One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them."
This is the first parter to this trilogy.
9. Broken for You by Stephanie Kallos
This is getting familiar with Dreamland by Sarah Dessen that combines with the Seattle element. It's getting more attractive than ever!
10. The Road by Cormac McCarthy
Now a major motion picture, you could own it to see all of the epicness going on in this type of dystopia America.
11. Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Adichie
Set in the late 1960s in southeastern Nigeria, a moment in modern African history was illuminated with celebration, the promise, hope and effects going on in a war.
That's it, what's your pick for books to be placed in the beach bag with specific themes. Let me know in the comments section below! :)

Chapter 10: The Last Days of Everything (What Am I Going to Do for Next Year?)
This weekend went pretty well, but I'm not sure what am I going to do for next year: is it looking for freedom? Yes. Is it going to college? No, I don't have a roommate, but I got tons of people to meet over the rest of my life. The Baccalaureate is good, but I remember that for the next few years, I will grow in independence by guardianship and that I'm staying home while some of my peers go across to the other side; others are staying here. It depends on whether you're going to a 4-year college, a 2-year college, tech school, military, work or apprenticeship, it's all up to you for next year. I had a nervous feeling that I'm overwriting that high school chapter which makes me feel disappointed about life. I just need a new chapter of life, but I am looking for freedom in a few days of school left. I will be gone when I come back from the all-night party at 6am, but my parents won't let me fly on summer vacation just after the senior celebration (it's similar to the just after the wedding reception for a honeymoon).
After the service and the reception of refreshments, my family and I went to Olive Garden for the early dinner. We ate salad and I had chicken fettuccine Alfredo. It was really good, I saved it up for later use. Oh well, don't mind if I eat it after school when I come back home for something to eat. Next, we had desert: I got strawberry and white chocolate mini cake in an old-fashioned, cylinder-like transparent sundae bowl. For the rest of the weekend, I work on assignments. Everything is going to wrap-up!

My School Has a Deaf Awareness Day
Taken from my semi-last journal for the year in ASL.
My interaction went somewhat okay, but I hear myself talk. Everyone else pretended that I was born deaf. The heredity of deaf from earlier this school year gave me an idea for future use when it comes to imaginative thought posts, but in real life, I was thinking that everyone felt sorry and that people surrounding me don’t understand the language but I was thinking about signs in my mind to be perfectly honest with what’s going on during this special day. I stayed silent for long periods of time, but I can still hear them talk, play with instruments, listen to lectures, etc. I was trying to be able to communicate without ever talking, but during 2nd period, the classmates were all silent and they sign. Sometimes I don’t know the signs and sometimes I do remember and learn the signs. I can see other sign languages around the world, but I can still see them and remember minimally. The best way to communicate was writing if people don’t know sign language.
I was treated okay, but in good shape. I was feeling excited, but felt Deaf to my mind for crying out loud. Looking back, I remember enjoying the day in satisfaction and in satisfaction; I am quiet as described in my phenotype, genotype and one disability description about myself. People are willing to make arrangements for “existence of knowing of lalalas” and wishing me Deaf. They make me feel okay in accommodations good and bad.
It was somewhat difficult to be 100% quiet, but I could hear myself talk if it weren’t for the orange earplugs. I slip up sometimes and I got most of the pressure to talk, mostly from raising my hands in case of something very important happening. It’s just because that’s life and I do support the feeling about the day of silence, but it keeps delaying on and on and on, over and over and over again until the later date like when I’m old or something at some point?
One communication event from my day that affected me in some way was writing. It was before first period. I wrote down on the white board about my blog ad saying, “Subscribe me @ diaryofayoungwoman101.blogspot.com NOW!” Most people really don’t try for a blog, but I could get it from the Rebellion if I like, but my g+ account needs to get back to the former popularity like never before. I could write down some more, if I try to get TONS of pieces of paper from home. But today, I forgot to bring the construction paper to school with me to get it taken care of and the card needs me to write it all out to be adapted into one last piece of my blog before everything is complete and ready to transform into a blook. In conclusion, in case that I’m deaf, can I go try for a piece of paper to write for the first time as a substitute communication?
