    Entry 1. I didn’t have a goal coming into class at first, but after hurting my toe over the weekend I decided that I would focus on doing my best at physical activities in spite of it. While I had some trouble with the walking and running portions of the exercises, I was mostly successful at completing them all. Also, during the warm up exercises I’ve started to be able to relax my body more, I can now feel my upper arms start to touch the floor when I’m laying down instead of just my hands, shoulders

The barn was lit only by a single red candle on an overturned crate. Next to the candle was an opened red pack of cigarettes and a dirty brass lighter. Fresh hay was scattered around the cold floor, a job unfinished. In the corner of the shadowed barn, a spider clung to its web as it slowly devoured a helpless fly. Curley’s

    September 16, 2017. 8:29 PM. Every seat taken, the walls of Dallas's Meyerson Center rattled with commotion. Cellist Yo-Yo Ma, along with the Dallas Symphony and director Jaap van Zweden, would soon grace the stage, performing the long-renowned Dvořák Cello Concerto in B minor. The piece, born in 1894-1895 New York City, signified a subtle nod to their director of 10 years: Jaap van Zweden, the new imminent music director of the prestigious New York Philharmonic. One minute passed, and the stage

    fighting.’” (pg 181) In the movie Gramps says this same line, but after he looks over and it's almost as if he can see Mia’s spirit. I prefer this part in the book over the movie because it has more detail. “And by the time he dropped me off from the Yo-Yo-Ma concert, I think we were both aware that we we falling in love.” (pg 54) In the book it shows Mia and Adam falling in love, as in the movie, it jumps right into it. I equally enjoy the book and the movie because in the end they didn't change the
