Howdy I'm Rhapsody in Red,
If you're wondering about my pen name it's from the song "Rhapsody in Blue" but my hair is red and so my dad came up with the idea of calling me "Rhapsody in Red"!
Some of My Favorite Books List:
Number the Stars
Bridge to Terabithia (not sure if that is spelled right)
Dovey Coe
Because of Winn Dixie (movie wasn't great but the book was)
Tuck Everlasting
Harry Potter Series (duh!)
The Outcasts of 19 Schyler place
A View From Saturday
Pride and Prejudice (loved this so much I read it twice in a row)
Thief Lord (loved it but the end sort of bothered me a little but I know it's not a normal reason to be bothered by so you'll probably like it)
Love You, Soldier (sad. the second is "The Great Green Notebook" and there might be a third)
True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle
Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry (this is a love/ hate book because it's good but really sad)
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (this is one of my absolute favorites)
MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE QUOTES:
"well,...yeah...it's bad, but not AS bad."
"Later days"
Carver: "please, please, please, you gotta help me!"
Lor : "Uh...do we look like suckers to you?"
Carver : "No, you look like friends."
Tino : "Ah man, he used the "friends" card, now we have to help him!"
"Oh come on, i'm not the only one who does that...(looks around at blank faces of friends)...I'm the only one who does that.
I do not want people to be agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them.
Jane Austen
Where so many hours have been spent in convincing myself that I am right, is there not some reason to fear I may be wrong?
Jane AustenOne half of the world cannot understand the pleasures of the other.
Jane Austen, EmmaSilly things do cease to be silly if they are done by sensible people in an impudent way.
Jane Austen, Emma
Oh! Do not attack me with your watch. A watch is always too fast or too slow. I cannot be dictated to by a watch.
Jane Austen, Mansfield Park
For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbours, and laugh at them in our turn?
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice, 1811Happiness
in marriage is entirely a matter of chance. If the dispositions of the
parties are ever so well known to each other or ever so similar
beforehand, it does not advance their felicity in the least. They
always continue to grow sufficiently unlike afterwards to have their
share of vexation; and it is better to know as little as possible of
the defects of the person with whom you are to pass your life.
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice, 1811
Vanity
and pride are different things, though the words are often used
synonymously... Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity
to what we would have others think of us.
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice, 1811It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice, first line
I have no pretensions whatever to that kind of elegance which consists in tormenting a respectable man.
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice, 1811
It is our choices...that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.
