Chpter 40

Chapter 40 is about learning how to Abbreviate and when is the right time to do it when writing something. There are many ways one can abbreviate things but does’t mean it right for example is “avoiding redundant titles such as Dr. Amy Day, MD. Choose on title or the other: Dr. Amy Day or Amy Day, M.” That shows a good way to limit yourself instead of abbreviating everything throughout your writing because if might distract the reading from the writing.

I would tend to abbreviate lots of thing throughout my writing and this chapter had me thinking about it and the ways I could use it the right way. There is a lot of things we can abbreviate but we have to make sure it is at the right time because for example if we would abbreviate something before the reader know what your talking about the reader will be lost before they finish what you want to let them know.

What do you think about the relationship between Thomas and Victor?

There relationship was really funky because at first it was a one way realationship Thomas would always be the one to try to talk to Victor even though Victor would always push him away Thomas would always come back. In the video you can tell that Thomas really cares for Victor even though Victor does and says all these things to him. The funny thng is that they are both so different Thomas loves to tell stories and talk to others and Victor is very serious and doesnt like to comunicate with anyone. But Thomas always seems to have something to say and Victor will just tell him to shut up but that wont stop Thomas from saying what he wants to say. But towards the end of the video Victor learned to care for Thomas and realize that he is actually a great friend and that he is there to help him out.

It would seem like Victor would push him away because he was scared to get attached because of what happend with his dad. That when he got close to his dad Victor felt like he just left him with out any consideration and I bet he feels that he is scared Thomas will do something like that to him and he just doest want to get hurt. So Victor would push people away so he wont get hurt like he did with his father. Because for any kid that would be hard to deal with and Thomas knows how hard it was for him that his dad just left him. So Thomas just tries to be there for Victor as much as he can.
