The Vow and God's Miracles

So far in my book, The Vow, Krickett has been in the hospital and she hasn't been doing the best. Actually she is doing awful. The doctors are saying she isn't going to make it and it would be unusually rare that she would recover. Kim got friends and family and even people he didn't know to pray for Krickett and as soon as this happen God answer their prayers and everything started getting better! This is not the only miracle God has done towards Krickett and Kim, it was also a miracle that they even talked to each other on the phone! If Kim would have talked to someone different, they probably wouldn't have met. It just amazes me how good God has been to this wonderful Christian couple!

Book Recommendations

I recommend The Vow to anyone who is looking for a great book to read! It is very good so far and it has me guessing a lot. It has some action and a lot of romance and is a Christian book because it was characters that are Christians in it and it talks about our Lord a lot. The Vow is about two Christian characters that fall in love over the phone. These two characters are named Krickett and Kim. They meet each other in person and decide to get married. After a little while of being husband and wife, the couple gets into a major car crash between two semis. What will happen to them? Will they survive? Well you will have to read The Vow to find out!

Movies and The Vow

I haven't seen the movie for The Vow yet and that is because I want to finish the book first. I feel that it is better to read the book first so you can create your own characters in your mind and then compare it to the characters in the movie. You can also compare from the book on what they cut out from the book when making the movie. I did this with the Hunger Games and the book was really good, but the movie was not as good as the book and they cut out important parts in my opinion. I feel that this is how it normally is when they make a movie based on the book. I haven't read Harry Potter,but people say the books are better because they cut major events out of the book. I have also heard this is the same for a lot of the Nicholas Sparks books.

The Vow

This is the trailer for The Vow. I haven't seen the movie yet since I want to read the book first, but now I really want to see the movie! I am only in the first few chapters where the car crash has happened and Krickett is in the hospital. I will be very disappointed if Krickett dies, but after watching this and seeing pictures in the back of the book gives it away that she lives. I think this trailer really shows what happens without giving away the ending of her either remembering or not. The movie stars Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum. I am excited to finish the book.

Reading Skills: The Vow

I predict that in The Vow, Krickett will get better and so will Kim because the book is about miracles and Krickett is showing signs of getting better. I am confused on the passenger in the car. Why was he not majorly hurt? What are Krickett's thoughts during this situation? Why is the main conflict in the second chapter? A text to world connection is that this book was based on a true story and there was a car crash and car crashes happen frequently. A text to text connection is The Vow and A Walk To Remember because they both are romantic books that are struck with tragedy. A text to self connection is that in this book there was a car crash with tragedy and in my life we had a friend from church who was very young and died in a car accident. His friend was flown to a hospital by helicopter, but didn't make it also.

The Vow

Right now in The Vow the characters are struggling through a car crash that may result in the death of Krickett. The narrator is Kim so it doesn't say many details about what is happening to Krickett during everything. This paragraph really captures your attention because you want to know what happens in the end. I predict that Krickett gets better over a long period of time, but she still will have some trouble. I think this because the book has pictures of them having kids in the middle of the book and I just read three chapters of the book and there has already been the car crash so what could the rest of the book be about? I also think this because the next chapter name says "A Modern-Day Miracle" and what could be the miracle other than her being alive? I also predict that Kim will get to the hospital and get to see Krickett.

Characters in The Vow

The characters in The Vow are going through a struggle right now, but they are brave, giving, and loving. I believe this is true because Krickitt and Kim are deeply in love and just got married. They are brave because they got into a major car crash between to trucks. Kim was in critical condition, but still he found a way out of the hospital to see Krickitt, who was taken to a differnt hospital.The characters are giving because Kim coaches a baseball team and when they were in the car crash different characters came in to help them out of the car and friends and relatives helped get Kim to the hospital Krickett was in. Right now the characters are struggling through the effects from a major car crash. I really look forward to seeing what these characters become throught the book.
