Divergent by Veronica Roth
Divergent takes place in a dystopian futuristic Chicago where the city is spit up into 5 factors. Abnegation the selfless, Erudite the smart, Condor the honest, Dauntless the brave and Amity the peaceful. As we follow the story of 16 year old Beatrice Prior we learn the struggles of her life when she has to choose between staying with her family in abnegation or following what she want, freedom.
I absolutely loved this book, I read it in 3 day and I normally take about 1 week to read a really good book. I really connected to the main character Beatrice or later we call her Tris. She is a normal teenager with normal teenage problems until she chooses to go to dauntless. I also loved the other main character Four or as we later figure out Tobias Eaton. I loved learning about Tobias's backstory, it was very touching. Veronica Roth outdid herself. She was very descriptive I had an entire movie in my head. Speaking of movies, they will release the divergent movie in 2014.
I am already 7 chapters from finishing the second book and the third one comes out Fall 2013. I am very excited for the movie and the new book. I recommend this book to anyone who likes the hunger games, delirium or any dystopian type of book. Also my next book I will be reading is delirium where love if found to be a disease. I am very excited, so I think you should be too. Read Divergent and you wont be able to put it down :D

I Gotta Text This
I am working on a new project but it's not very big. It will be a trailer for a film that I will not continue with. I am only making the trailer because it's hard to film a entire movie a school goes on. So let me tell you about my new project, I Gotta Text This.
This is going to be a comedy horror film. I guess you can relate it to scary movie. It will scare you but there will be laughs along the way. This will be a difficult project to me because I will need to create the bloody cut or bruise effect which I have never done before. I will try to get this started next week. I will keep you locked in.
I can't wait to start this. It will be so fun. I have to leave now but I promise I'll be back!

Owl City Live In Concert
On Saturday I went to my first concert. I saw Owl City (Adam Young) up front on stage and it was amazing. The opening act was Action Item and they were better than i expected. One of he band mates even said hi to me and Kassy98, yes I went with Kassy98. Us both being photographers she took most of the photos and I took some too. I thought you may want to see some of the photos. If you were ever wondering about going to an Owl City concert I strongly strongly recommend it. Adam puts on a great concert, he makes the songs come to life! I think I'm in love! <3

The Words Review
I saw this movie a few days ago, sorry for the late entry.
The film is about an upcoming writer who has a long period of writers block. As he finds the story of another man and decides to put his name on it you see his progression while dealing with the consequences.
This movie was amazing, pure brilliance if I may add. Everyone was waiting to watch this film. Brian Klugman did a great job with directing the film. I loved the rewinding of present and past. I found the film to be hard to comprehend. It was hard to follow but once you look at it in retch respect you have a better understanding. People may say this film was slow. No, it just was not an action film so the film took time.
Bradley Cooper was very dramatic and played his role like non other. I liked Bradley Cooper in this film overall because I have only seen him in comedy's. It was a change of script for me and I liked it. Zoe Saldana with Bradley had so much chemistry. They use to have a relationship so that must be where it is from. They were both great onscreen, I loved them together and I found that they brought out a different side of each character you didn't see for the full movie. Jeremy Irons played The Old Man. His character gave me the chills when he spoke and when he reviled he wrote the story it just shocked me. The performance was great. I was very fond of Ben Barns who played The Old Man but when he was young. I loved the flashbacks and the entire concept of flashbacks turning into reality, slowly rewinding. The cast was fantastic.
Overall I loved the film. I wouldn't watch it again, it would be a one time thing. I do very much recommend this film for upcoming writers and people who just like drama. I give this film and A.
Check out my Instagram. New photos coming soon @raquellyvann. I'll be back

Balloon Fight In The Forest
I was browsing through the internet one day and found these two guys on youtube, The Slow Mo Guys. What they do is that they will film something for example popping a giant balloon and then show it in slow motion. When i saw that i always wanted to try so yesterday i actually had the chance to test it out. I went with my friend to my backyard and we got a few balloons to pop. She popped the balloons with a needle and smashed a few.

A Day At The Pool
Today my family went to the pool. I didn't really want to go swimming so i decided to bring my camera instead. My brother and his friend were swimming and the started to jump in so i took some photos. I got some air shots and pictures of the after splash. Here are the better photos i took. I did this photo shoot by continuous shots which is an option on my camera. i did not post all the all of the continuous shots.
