5.5 scorching soul-matched stars....

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

"I push myself hard.The words of Thomas poems so wild and beautiful that i keep reapeating them silently as i run..Do not go gentle,do not go gentle,do not go gentle,until realization hits me :There's a reason thy didn't keep this poem.



This poem tells you to fight."



Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

"I smile as Xander's face appears on the screen.I reach out to touch the words COURTSHIP GUIDELINES on the screen but before I do that Xander's face darkens and then disappears.



My heart stops,and i cant beleive what i see.A face comes back into view. And its not Xander."

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

"Why are there so much green and brown and blue here ?"He asks me.



"Maybe because they are growing colours and so much of our Province is agriculture".I say."You know.How blue is the color of water ,and brown the color of fall and harvest.And green is the color of spring."


Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

"You know,you dont need me.You could teach yourself" he says."You could look at the letters on your scribe or your reader."

"There not the same.",i tell him."They dont connect like yours.I've seen your kind of writing beofre ,but i don't know what its called."



"Cursive",he says softly."It's harder to read , but its beautiful .I'ts one of the old ways of writing."
"That's why i want to learn."


Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

“Every minute you spend with someone gives them a part of your life and takes part of theirs.�


And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

“Once you want something, everything changes.�




MY THOUGHTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: honestly ? This book defiantly surpassed all my expectations...Thats probably the reason im giving this a 5. i loved the dystopic theme and the strong character buiding the author decided to follow on .

But again,Yes,there's no denying.i did find the plot moving to a bit to slow, but then again the book's great narration and unpredicated ending,defiantly made it self up to me .

all in all..not a bad read ! will definatly be checking out the rest of the series soon.And yes, this book will be going into the set of "My favourites" , what can i say ? LOL i just liked it better than "HUNGER GAMES" ;D Cant wait for the movie to be out anyway ! �

That was the whole idea ! the poem plays a key role in the book so i wanted to brief it with the significant quotes from the book,without giving away too much :)

And yes ! thats exactly the reason i chose to read this series ! i wanted to try something different and honestly dystopia is not a grene that i usually venture into
