Phantom not Opera

Hello every one again! Did you miss me?  You were probably wondering when I would be back.  Sorry I don't have any certain day that I will be blogging yet.  Maybe in the the future.

Well, anyway I am sure you are all super exited to hear what story I am going to write today.  I am going to write about the Phantom of the Opera.  Yeah!  I know you may think that it it not really a book.  It is more of an opera.  Well, yes and no.  It was actually a book first but it is often forgotten about because the opera is so amazing.  An opera is what old people go watch, right?  Anyone who just agreed with that statement can just leave now!  There is the the URL box.

Is anyone still with me... good!  Let us continue.  Yes, the Phantom of the Opera is an opera and a book written by a French writer Gaston Leroux.  But, did you know that it could have possible really happened?  I am not saying that it is true.  I am simply putting it out there that I have, in fact, read the book and he really wrote it in a way that seemed to know what he was talking about.  I am not going to tell you what to believe. Just that I do think that, at the very least, the Phantom of the Opera may be based upon true events.

The Phantom of the Opera is about a singer named Christine.  She is am amazing singer from around the 1840s and worked at Paris Opera House.  Although, she is one of the most talented people in her cast she is often over shadowed by the lead, Carlotta.  In-spite of that Christine soon gains an admirer.  The phantom of the opera house falls in love with her.  He tries to force the owners of the opera cast to make Christine the lead
through threats of destruction.  The new owners, not sure what to do with the phantom, deiced to just ignore the threats and move on.

The phantom, then, makes Carlotta lose her voice on stage and kidnaps Christine.  He plans on keeping her in his home under the opera house because he hopped she would love him back.  (The Phantom of the Opera wares a mask because of a child deformation on his face that, apparently made him quite ugly.)  Upon Christine removing his mask he feared she would be frightened off and never return to him so he decided to keep her, with him, forever.  Christine begged him to let her return to her world and, because the Phantom could not stand to see her so unhappy, let her go as long as she wore his ring and remained faithful to him.

Unknown to the Phantom at the time that Christine was in love with her childhood crush Raoul.  They recently found each other, again, after not seeing each other for years.  They both loved each other and wanted to be married.  After Christine tells Raoul of what happened to her he decides that he was going to save her from such a fate.  Christine, out of pity of the phantom, agreed that she would leave the cast after she sang one more song in the Opera House for the Phantom.  Little did they know, that when they made that plan, the phantom heard everything and grew very jealous.  When Christine sings her last song on stage, in front of a large crowd, he kidnapped her in a moment of darkness that he created.

I am not going to go into anymore detail because I want you all to read this book!  It is one of my absolute favorite books!  Yes, it is very much a romance book.  But, it does have a lot of mysterious things.  I am not saying this book is a real story but, the setting takes place in a real place and the people were real.  Whether they actually did these things you can decide.

Divergent, book or movie?

Hey, everyone out there in the Internet world.  I am Nicole!  Probably not many of you know who I am and I am okay with that... for now (Evil laughter).

Since not many of you know me I will tell you a little about myself.  I am in high school.  I enjoy animals and nature.  I can also ride horses distantly well and I act in our school plays.  Well, now that you know a little about me when can get down into the real reason you are here.

Books!  Yes, books and stories and fables.  You might want to know what a good book to read for your report in English class that's due tomorrow or maybe something to read while it gets cold out.  What ever the reason is you ended up finding my blog. Good for you!

Well, today I am going to talk a little about Divergent.  I know many of you have probably already read the book or at least seen the movie.  But, this is for all of you out there who have not.  It is a great book!  There is drama, suspense, romance, and a lot of action!

Now I don't want anyone of you thinking, as my sister does, that since you saw the movie you don't need to read the book.  They are exactly the same right?  WRONG!  Many of the things in the book were taken out for the movie.  Guys if you want a little gore that the movie didn't have, the books got it.  Not only that, the book has got much more romance for you girls out there who love to cry.

The book is about a teenage girl named Beatrice.  And I wont go into a lot of detail but basically the government has categorized people into groups on how they act.  Well, Beatrice left her group for almost an opposite group.  She leaves her parents behind for a new life you could say.  In her new group she needs to fight- and I mean literally fight- to stay.  She starts off as a sweet you teen but by the end of this book she is a kick but girl who you will be rooting for until the very end.  Here is a link so you can get this book right off Amazon right now: http://www.amazon.com/Divergent-Veronica-Roth/dp/0062024035

Now I know I didn't go into very in depth detail about this book but that is because I don't want to spoil anything.  It really is a good book and you really should read it.  If you want me to tell you more about the book (or maybe give good spoilers) leave a comment below.  Or if you have a certain book you want me to read and review leave a comment.

I would love to hear from all my soon to be fans!
