Name: Raydan M. Tangwayan Book Title: The Fault in our Stars Author: John Green Name of Output: Reading Logs Part I- A.) Reflection: Life is always unpredictable. We don't really understand how things tend to happen us. In some points, what we don't expect will occur. Or reversibly, What we expect will never happen. Based on the novel, Hazel Grace didn't really assumed to meet someone that will make her fall in love. There is this Augustus Waters who is also a cancer patient in the Support Group. At first glance to each other, something to be called as magic happened. They become friends and flirt like they've already knew each other. With this scenario, it conveys the fact that at some instances, we meet strangers that makes us feel comfortable to be with. We don't really know who they are, what they do, what they think about the world but it is a fact that we sometimes don't really care if they mean something already for us. At the end, Augustus still died. What do this make me reflect to? In our life, we meet lots of people to learn out from them. They may implicate or influence us and utters that we can't live without them, but the fact is that it doesn't really mean for the two of you to stay forever. You meet to learn, not to be with each other. We meet them to understand that we need to be strong and to continue our journey in this inconstant world. B.) Connect: I can connect this novel to a certain episode of a Filipino TV show, "Maalaala Mo Kaya" (MMK) of the ABS-CBN, as starred by Joshua Garcia and Julia Baretto. The story revolved to the plight, where the two characters beloved each other, 'til slowly broken by the scenario when Julia, had cancer and Joshua begun to be uneasy, watching Julia in the hospital and do stuffs to assist her. Meanwhile, as part of the unpredictable event in life, the character of Joshua died, and Julia was left agonizing with cancer plus feeling the excruciating pain of having her loved person left her due to sudden death. This true-to-life story as conveyed is another testimony that life is really full of surprises. It may not be just good surprises where we jump with gladness and bliss, but also sadness and grief. So, let's just be ready for everything, and everyday should really be our best performance because we don't really know what tomorrow could bring. C.) Question: I really wonder why they have sex with each other, considering their ages, which is still minor. Aside from that, their situation is very uncertain, which is having cancer. So, why sex? I really question the concept of affection in this juncture on the novel. For me, isn't it stupidity and lust, rather than love? Well, Filipino and American do differ in culture and norms, in anyways, so, no hard feeling. D.) Predict: I was really wondering, why is it that the end of the book, which Hazel Grace and Augustus like (in the novel) was hanging and was never told. The author of that certain may have internal conflict, as her daughter died, yet I was really at my pursuit to say that the person behind the novel the two characters love too, will have an end that he will still fight, regardless of what happened to him. Also with the story of Hazel, she might be so down upon losing her love, but in the end, I know she'll be better and will combat with the punches of life in the ring, and maybe she will not win in the end, yet the the thing that matters most is how you play with life's game. Time heals, and moving on doesn't really mean forgetting, rather inviting positivity and realize that everything happens for a reason. Part II- A.) Letter to the Author: Sir John, I really appreciate your skill and intellect in writing such wonderful novel. I know what you've invested for the success of your novel. Time, effort, money, sleep, brain and emotion. I was really moved as to how the story circulated, which conveys the message that life is really an amazing gift from God that we need to cherish. Uncertainty is always inevitable, yet you have showed in your novel that we should always be positive in every way. It's just natural that we lose something valuable for us, but you articulated that it can be replaced by something more valuable. We lose and fail, but we learn something out from those things. In all of our days, we should be thinking that everyday is a new day, and a new chance to make our life better by inviting the spirit of optimism. God bless Sir, and thank you for letting me culled out something from what you've written. Sincerely Yours, Raydan M. Tangwayan B.) Song Composition (book two to be followed)

Reading Log 2 Name: Raydan M. Tangwayan Book Title: A Walk to Remember Author: Nicholas Sparks Part I- A.) Reflection: The novel made me think of how a teenage guy typically have experienced as part of growing. Having an affair like crushies, ball, having little conflict with parents and blushing because of feeling like we already love someone. However, the novel inevitably have a different plot being told. This story actually tells us about how "true" love really means. If we really love a person, we really have to accept everything about them. Whatever she is, as long as we have decided that we are destined for each other, nothing would stop us, even death. The title, "A Walk to Remember", have meant a lot to me. Almost all of us have our distinct walks, depending upon what are situations. So, in every walk, make the most of it because we don't know, it may be the last walk we'll make. B.) Connect: I can connect to the story to a featured report of ABS-CBN news (TV Patrol), about couples marrying each other even if its not really that ideal to do so. The girl was the one with good state, while the man was dying with illness. Though they already know that uncertainty will happen, they still continued the wedding, to utter their vows that they'll be one in sickness, in abundance and unplenty, and even death. Together, they'll live with there promises, as a vouch for their genuine love. True love indeed wins. C.) Question: I was wondering, why is it that almost all of the parents, just Luke that of Lando's father really urged their children to follow them? They may think that, it is for their legacy, but, isn't it very unintelligent and they've resorted out from their responsibility as a parent? Why do politician father naturally act like this? D.) Predict: Jamie and Landon suppose to have a romantic intimate relationship. However, it turned out to grief and sadness because of death of Jaimie. Since Jaimie died, I feel that at the end, after Jaimie died, Landon felt loving other person again as she may have met someone that resembles Jaimie, yet he suppose not to love again because of the trauma of being left again. It may sound too less likely to happen, yet it is not a fallacy that we tend to really have the feeling of fear to be left again. First impression last, as they said. So, it is really possible that as Landon's first encounter to love, it is already pinned into his heart that love is like a gamble, it hurts when we lose. Part II- A.) My feeling about the character: I would like to express my feeling about Landon's genuine love for Jaimie. Landon, I salute you for the loyalty you have for your only one, Jaimie. In this millenial, having and choosing a partner will never be based as to how you intimately feel, rather what you think will the two of you benefit if you will be together. For example, having girlfriend for the sake of having someone to date with, talk with, hang out with and sex with. That's how the youth of today feels for love, I mean lust. The novel was set on 1954, so, I see the big difference. On the other hand, for you Landon, I was really hoping that more people should have to be like you. Love is merely not just about what you feel, and think what's best. It should always be from the heart, and willing to accept all and take the risk, and you did it bro. Thank you so much. B.) Letter to the Author: Sir Sparks, I was not really into books, bit finds interest reading, depending upon the entertainment value I can get from reading. I would like you to know, that through this letter of mine, I can be able to express my admiration to your masterpiece. There are lots of highly intellectual people, like your co-writers, but I consider your book, same as to the Fault on our Stars, Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, and many other books as an excellent form of art ever given to humanity. Sir, I was moved to tears with your plot. Typically, men do really get rid out of the situation when knowing that whom he had affection towards was dying, should directly be left. In your write ups, you disproved the mentality of plastic lobe and lust. You've indirectly sent the message that love is very significant as a human being. Sir, I hope you'll be able to create more stories and invite us to motivate ourselves to explore learning through reading. Sincerely Yours, Raydan M. Tangwayan Reading Log 3 Name: Raydan M. Tangwayan Book: Fifty Shades of Grey Author: Erika Mitchell (EL James) Part I A.) Reflection: The novel is an erotic trilogy, which depicts the darker sides of human, and that pertains to sex.
