Any way due to internet problems I'm posting this now. Sorry!
So do i believe in destiny? I guess I kind of believe but, i think free will can overcome destiny. I've never really believed in "predestination" or really any of that kind of stuff (horoscopes, zodiac, etc). I'm a very logical thinker and don't really believe in a deity but, nor do i believe that there is no "higher power." I think destiny or fate may be the "higher power" of our lives and that sometimes it forces us to do things we wouldn't ordinarily do. I think that the ring itself is a manifestation of destiny because the ring wants to return to Mordor and Frodo will bring it there but, Frodo, with the help of Sam, will eventually end up destroying it. This shows how the ring (destiny) can be overcome by a person's free will. One's destiny is not set in stone and can be changed by one's sheer willpower to change it. There is really, in my opinion, only one difference between destiny and fate: there is no hope in changing one's fate but, one's destiny may be swayed by one's will to change it.

so.. reppsting second Blood trinity blog
My second blood trinity blog got removed (i don't know how but it did) so, here we go again.
Previously, Evalle had escaped with Tzader and Quinn and they headed back to Atlanta, Georgia. Evalle, Tzader and Quinn all became good friends because Tzader and Quinn kept Evalles secret that she had shifted. Evalle works in a morgue during the night and one night a body comes in that could end up caging Evalle forever. The body had its heart torn out of its chest, which is how alterants have killed in the past. Evalle needs to find out who is after her and she has to do it fast.
The book has some similarities to real life Evalle is working so she can pay for her college classes. Evalle also is constantly fighting with herself. She often comes to a "fork" in the road where both paths have up sides and down sides. She can never seem to decide on which path to take. That is until Tzader or Quinn help her find her way. This is also like life as a high school senior. There is just so many choices where to go, what to go for, and what classes could get me further down this road.

Blood Trinity 1/6
Evalle's problems continue to stack up. The Tribunal, leading body of viper, calls Evalle in to question if she is a danger to human society. The Tribunal hadn't bothered Evalle before because it was believed that female Alterants couldn't shift into their beast form or get pregnant. This belief was shattered when a female Alterant shifted and killed some humans before the beladors stopped her. After an examination of the body it was found that she was pregnant. The Tribunal, after a long trail where the leader of the beladors named Briana came in to help Evalle prove her innocence, decided to give her three days to gather evidence to prove she has never shifted.
Tzader kind of reminds me of myself. He acts like an older brother to his friends and Evalle especially. Tzader always seems to escape danger at the last second, which I do far too often. Tzader is always looking for more information and never thinks there is too much of it. He always seems to find a way to end a fight between friends and that is what I do all the time.

So.... now what?
I'm close to finishing my book, Blood Trinity, and it has been one of my favorite books. I like the fantasy aspect of it, race of supernatural beings with powers, and I love some of the fight scenes. The fight scenes are quite detailed and are easy to visualize. Currently I'm at the part where all of Evalle's problems come crashing down on her at once. A human was mauled by a demon but, they remains look more like an Alterant attack. Demons usually eat the entire human but, the human body reached a mourge where Evalle worked and only had the heart ripped out, which is a way previous Alterants have killed humans.
Sen, the representative of the tribunal, leading body of viper, has been told that the Ngak stone is going to reappear. The Ngak stone is a power weapon that shows itself only every few years but, the last time it showed itself it nearly wiped out the Beladors because it appeared in the hands of a Kujoo, an enemy of the Beladors. Sen reveals that to a group including Evalle and Tzader and they all take shifts looking in the spot it was lost, Piedmount park. I'll reveal more in the next post.
As for similarities to another book I find it eerily similar to Curious Incident. Evalle has to get past her "disabilities" to deal with all of her problems. First of all, she has to get past her heritage. She is an Alterant and looked down apon as a beast and almost everyone is waiting for her to make the mistake of shifting so the can as she says "take her into protective custody", or cage her. Second, she has her past experiences. Her past is a sad one she was caged twenty four seven by her Aunt, she was with her Aunt because her mother and father didn't want her. Her Aunt did however teach her how to read, write and talk. The third "disability" she has is a past experience with a man. As a younger girl , about 16, she was regularly visited by a Doctor that her Aunt sends to Evalle in the basement where shes locked up. One day however the Doctor comes when her Aunt isn't there, because Evalle's Aunt gave the Doctor a key, the Doctor rapes Evalle but, that is when Evalle discovers her powers and kills the Doctor and since then Evalle has been trying to hide from other guys and has become socially awkward. she overcome these disabilities regularly to try and fix her problems.

Independent reading book 12/21 Blood Trinity
I decided that my independent reading book was going to be Blood Trinity by Sherrilyn Kenyon and Dianna Love. Blood Trinity is a fantasy about a supernatural race called the Beladors who are part of a group called viper. Viper is a group of supernatural beings and deities dedicated to protecting the human race from demons.Beladors also sware to always report any dangers to the human race to viper. But, there's only one problem, a Belador mixed with another species and created an Alterant, a Belador half-breed.
Alterants are seen as threats beacuse of their ability to change into a beast. If an Alterant shifts then he or she faces imprisonment or death. Beladors are powerful and have different ranges in what powers they have. The most common powers are: telepathy, kinetics, and energy shots. But, the reason Beladors are so strong is that they can link with each other however, linking requires absolute trust.
The story follows one alterant named Evalle who has no memory of her parents and the only family she had was a distant aunt. The story starts off two years before the rest of the plot in Utah where Evalle had herd the call of a Belador. The call turned out to be a trap and she and two other Beladors were captured. The kidnapers turned out to be Melb, a rival of the Beladors. Evalle and the other two Beladors, Quin and Tzader, have no choice but to link to fight their way out of their imprisonment. An unexpected twist is that Quin knows one of the Melb quite well.
When the three of them get out of their restraints they fight the group of Melb. During the battle Tzader is seriosly wounded and near death. Quin uses one of his unique powers on the melb he knows, named Kizara, the power, mind lock, can synchronize his brain waves with anothers and this allows him to control them but, he has to concentate. The only remaining Melb is to strong for Evale to hadle alone. She has no choice, she has to shift. Once she shifts and kills the last Melb she shifts back and pulls the spear out of Tzader, who can now heal himself. The party the leaves but, when they get out side the dun is up and Evalle cannot be in sunlight because it burns her skin. The group escapes and heads back to Atlanta were they all live. (end of introduction)

Christopher and Holmes
I had already seen Sherlock Holmes before we watched it in class. I already knew what was going to happen. But, Sherlock Holmes is a great movie and does kind of relate to our book. Christopher is similar in many ways to Holmes.
First of all, Holmes and Christopher think very logically. Holmes for example, uses logic and rational reasoning to figure out every part of Lord Darkwood's plan and reveals it at the end. Christopher thinks very logically when he found the pitchfork in Mrs. Shears' shed to figure out that it was probably used to kill Wellington. He then also was smart enough to know that it could have been a red herring.
A second way that Christopher and Holmes are similar is how they both observe everything. Holmes showed how observant he was when he noticced how there was a light adhesive that kept the slab of stone together. Christopher shows this when he was in london and all of the signs rushed to his mind at once. There is however one obvious difference, Holmes can process all of the information at once and Christopher if he tried to process all of the information at once his asbergers would cause all of the information to become jumbled together.

The Curious Case of the dog in the night-time
The book The Curious Case of the dog in the night-time was about a boy named Christopher Boone, who is autistic, when he found a dog named Wellington murdered in Mrs. Shear's, the dog’s owner, garden. Christopher, who loves dogs, walks over to it to hold it as he starts to fell incredibly dismal. He then vows to find Wellington’s murderer but, later on His father finds out that Christopher is looking into the murder and tells him to stop. Why does Christopher’s father want him to stop investigating Wellington’s murder?
This is the start of the book and as I read if found it to become even more mysterious. The main plot is written very well and hides from sight for the beginning of the book. As the novel progressed the main plot shows its colors and shocks anyone who is fortunate enough to read this book. I find the book to be an overall great book. There are just some things I didn’t get. Why did Christopher’s father act the way he did towards Wellington? I mean what did the dog do to deserve that? The other thing that confused me was why did Mr. Boone keep violently attacking Christopher? Mr. Boone knows that Christopher doesn’t like to be touched at all, let alone hurting him like he did, I just couldn’t get it.
