"Who is the person from literature that you would
most like to meet and talk to?
Why? What would you like to ask? "
I
have always loved reading. Specially fiction books. I love living in a world
that the books provide me. Each time I read a new story, I would always imagine
myself talking to the characters and being friends with them.
One
particular story in which I imagined myself talking with the characters would
be Vampire Academy or VA. VA is all about Lissa Dragomir, a Moroi princess: a
mortal vampire with an unbreakable bond to the earth's magic. She must be
protected at all times from Strigoi; the fiercest and most dangerous
vampires--the ones who never die.
The
powerful blend of human and vampire blood that flows through Rose Hathaway,
Lissa's best friend, makes her a Dhampir; she is dedicated to a dangerous life
of protecting Lissa from the Strigoi, who are hell-bent on making her one of
them.
After
two years of illicit freedom, Rose and Lissa are caught and dragged back to St.
Vladimir's Academy, hidden in the deep forests of Montana. Rose will continue
her Dhampir education. Lissa will go back to being Queen of the elite Moroi
social scene. And both girls will resume breaking hearts.
Fear
made Lissa and Rose run away from St. Vladimir's--but their world is fraught
with danger both inside and out of the Academy's iron gates. Here, the
cutthroat ranks of the Moroi perform unspeakable rituals and their secretive
nature and love of the night creates an enigmatic world full of social
complexities. Rose and Lissa must navigate through this dangerous world,
confront the temptation of forbidden romance, and never once let their guard
down, lest the Strigoi make Lissa one of them forever.
I
love Rose. I liked her character after reading the synopsis of the book. I
found her to be witty, loyal and fun. I imagined myself asking her why they
decided to leave the academy. What happened during the car accident? Do you
regret staying in the school? How did she feel about Dimitry at first? How did
it feel like being bonded to Lissa?
I
would picture all of it in my head. We would be under the shady trees of the
Academy. Rose towering over my own 5"3. Her hair so silky and blowing with
the wind. I would be sitting on the ground and starring up at her brown eyes.
Then Dimitry will come to scold us for being out so late (since they're
vampires, morning IS LATE.) And they would quarrel a bit and I would be
entertained, even though only half of my questions were answered. We would go
back to the dormitory with Rose fuming but blushing cutely because of her
mentor, Dimitry.
As
I sit and imagine this, my mom would always come and scold me for not listening
to her as she shouts out my chores. I would roll my eyes and say sorry and
start doing the housework. Damn, I wish I was in the Academy right now with
Rose and Dimitry. They're so much more entertaining than chores.
