REFLECT
– This
story entitled “Dance with A Vampire” was full of passion towards someone or
something. Raven wanted to be one of the vampires so that she and Alexander
(her boyfriend) can be in the same world- being immortal. But when they went to
the cave where Alexander took him for a date, there was something that she
can’t explain. She was not ready. For Raven’s feeling, I felt that she was not
that yet ready. Being immortal or can we say being a Vampire is kind a serious
matter. It is either it will benefit you or it will give you trouble- but for
Raven, Alexander is always there to protect her, so there is no need to be
worried. Raven was so obsessed to Alexander so as Alexander to her. But in the
case of Raven, she wanted to be like a vampire- very much, it would be a dream
come true, but Alexander would insist it that it’s not time. Raven has colorful
life, only that she has a vampire boyfriend that even her family and bestfriend
(Becky) does not know about.
CONNECT
– I
was then a High School student when I had a boyfriend. My mother and father did
not know about this because I kept it to myself. Just like Raven, her family
does not know what kind of creature is Alexander because she keeps it to
herself, if she does it will gave anxiety and oddity to everyone.
Another connection that I had with the
story is that when I was in my younger age I used to imagine things like
fairies and even in my dreams. I got fascinated with those magical thing or
what so called. But when I grow up, I was clarified to the real thing.
QUESTION
–
I wonder how will Raven explain to her family of what kind of being is
Alexander. If that will happen how will her family accept Alexander? Would it
be easy for them that their daughter has a vampire boyfriend? For Alexander,
will he fight for Raven? Will he protect Raven even the one who caused trouble
was Raven’s parents and loved ones? How about for Billy Boy (Raven’s younger
brother), will he be happy that her sister has a vampire boyfriend so that he
can used it as a basis of their vampire project? Will he be proud to her sister
for bringing a vampire to their family? Does this story longing for eternal
love or true love?
PREDICT
–
I think Raven will stalk Alexander to Hipsterville where Jagger is located. And
I think Alexander will never come back because of the dangers he brought to the
life of Raven and her family. He will live there and dwell with those fellow
vampires where he does belong.
