Netvibes jah feel the vibe?!

I don't really believe I will use Netvibes very much during my personal time. But it is a resourceful source to see all your interests, news, social media, etc. on one page, it does make seeing things in that such a lot easier. It does look very organized especially if you have your social media widgets in one column and news for say in another column next to it for easier viewing. On my net vibes I have widgets as; Facebook, Behance, weather.com,MTV news, Rolling Stones magazine news, sound cloud, a widget to save and find my bookmarks easier, to do list, gmail, wikipedia, CBS news, and USA today. I also have a tab for photography pages that interest me and give me information and post photographers photos and comments on the art form.

LIT. ANALYSIS #1

NONFICTION ANALYSIS

TOPIC(S) and/or EVENT(S)

1.  My book A Million Little Pieces by: James Frey is about the author, James Frey life dealing with alcoholism and drug abuse. Waking up on a plane not aware of his surroundings, who he is, or where he is. James Frey then gets assisted by a flight attendant into his parents care once at the airport destination his parents then tell him they are taking him to a rehabilitation unit to get cured with his addictions. During James fight against addiction and his life, James goes through harassment from the other group members, dealing with his past, and realizing its either drugs and alcohol and the poor lifestyle he lived which will lead to death if partaken one more time or recovering and learning to accept himself and living the life he has never lived. Being sober, healthy, and a brand new start at life.

2. I believe the author choose to write about his experiences due to it being so intense and having a huge impact and reaction to the reader, like it did to me.

3. I choose this book because i saw this books cover and it was interesting so i grabbed it from my grandmas book shelf and began to read the description, the description itself was intense and once I read the first page I just kept wanting to know what would happen next, what the author dealt with, and how he did so.

4. I most defintly find this book realisitic. But one thing is I did not have any connections to the book since i am not a drug addict, alcholic, nor are the people I surround myself in my life.

PEOPLE

1. The book does not have any fiction charachters every one in the book is an actual person James Frey meet in his life. So, each person he describes really is seemed that way as he saw them. The author choices of people show how it was for him during his life filled with junkies, users, whores, and just negative people. But once he was at the rehab center the junkies and addicts were becoming ex users men and women who most put there faith in god, the nurse's , doctors, and counselrs.

2. Lily was a ex user who was in the rehab center for help she had long black hair and arctic ice blue colored eyes she had black circles around her eyes and scars on her wrists she wore a black baggy sweater two times her size black pants also seemed 2 times her size and a pair of black combat boots. Lincoln was the Unit Supervisor or the rehab unit, he had a thick body with muscles and has short black spiky hair, he wore large black boots, faded black jeans and a black shirt that has a picture of a harley, on the front reads " Ride Hard, Ride Sober.". Lily was a sweet women who seemed innocent but had saddens in her eyes, she was quit shy. Lincoln was a big man almost biker like big and husky he put off a hard look and feel but James wasn't scared of him.

3. Well first of all Lily doesn't seem like a women who would do such harm to her fragile tiny body she seems like an innocent women. And Lincoln is a man who only pulls a front a once user but now believes that the world is in his hands.

STYLE

1.  The author I believe used journalistic styles do to his every thought of memories and used chronilogical order.

2. The author uses lengthy descriptions to describe the individuals. They show how the  author is showing and putting his all out to the reader describing even the horrific of moments.

3. The author uses tons of anger, frustration, sadness, addiction, low self esteem, and negativity showing the hardship of his life and within himself.

4. He had different attitudes towards the charachters its hard to say.

5. The author does use a few resources one i remember is an alcholic annoynomus book he read of the mans story who began the program how he was an alcholic then put his faith in god and changed his whole life for the  better.

DURING MEMORY

One passage I remeber from the book the author had a "drug dream" where he wakes up in a friends house with a few bottles next to him a pile of cocaine on the coffee table, some crack rock, a pipe, glue, and a revolver. He first drinks the liquor it makes him feel better then he gets back to feeling horrible to feeling better after each swig then horrible once it hit he repeated each step until it was all gone he subsided to the cocaine and put his face sniffing up as much as he could until his nose bled and did so until it wouldn't stop bleeding he continued to the crack rock and pipe began to pack the rock in the pipe then began to smoke until the bag or crack was empty he then ended with the glue got up and thre w up overdosing on his friends bathroom floor then waking up with such anger and regret on himself.

WILL STUDY FOR FOOD

The reason why I need scholarships is it will make entering an expensive art college for say Brooks a whole lot easier on myself and my family. Education is expensive and I don't want money to be the issue with my family and I for me entering  4 year education. I am not sure how much I would like to earn from a scholarship just yet. I do have $10,000 saved for college from my great grandfather so that will most defiantly help and go towards my education.
