My Sister's Keeper pg 7-130
My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult is a great story that hits hard at your feelings. Right when you start reading you realize what is going on and how Jodi tells the story through the many perspectives of the characters. Some questions come up for this book like what makes a good parent and could one person make a difference. One person can make a difference about anything that is true but what makes a good parent? Jodi seems to have written Anna's father as a good parent and in the beginning Sara is put in the bad parent category. Sara does things wrong for the right reason, to save one of her daughters. However she does care for Anna as well, for the wrong reasons. Wanting Anna to drop the case is wrong. But comforting Anna was not wrong at all it was all about the implication given to us the reader with the quote "This is Jesse all over again… She's doing it for the attention" Sara wants Anna to give up a part of herself to save Kate but Anna has no choice in this because of Sara, people deserve to think about themselves. Besides all we know is that Anna wants a say in the matter not if she won't give up a part of her to save Kate. Another hint is how Jodi in the beginning showed Sara constantly trying on dresses like it was nothing easy to judge however she really does care for Kate a good parent to one of three children does not make a good parent. Also dress shopping without the money to pay for the clothes, she's a bit crazy.

Interesting blogs
http://techcrunch.com/2015/01/13/slide-into-your-dms-like/
The blog is a funny read talking trashing the Hovertrax in a joking manner and giving a couple reasons why you would actually buy one. Standing up right you lean your feet forward and you push forward it is simple to work and keeps you up with gyroscopes. SoloWheel the company who made it seems that they don't even know who it is meant for. However they explain the controls are tilt based and gives it a reasonable rating of too weak and expensive, the blog was funny but had errors with their english.

The bike also called The Storm eBike is not well known and has crazy tires that are very large and look like you will need to pedal way too much. Thankfully the bike is electric powered and you won't need to pedal too hard on flat surfaces. The tires look over inflated but it allows for seemingly smooth movement over gravel or not so smooth surfaces. However I feel the bike won't be able to go on trips to the mountains anytime soon.
