Manon is Better!!!

Apologies that I'm posting late.

SO, as we all know the character Manon (from the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas) is better than Mor (from A Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah J. Maas).

This is why Manon Blackbeak is better than Mor

• Manon is prettier than Mor
• Manon is extremely tough 
• Manon is a witch
• Manon is currently in a relationship with Dorian Havilliard 
• Dorian is awesome
• Manon stood up for Dorian and killed a couple witches for him
• She stood up to her grandmother even though her grandmother would always hurt her
• She helped Elide escape
• She has an awesome pet named Abraxos

Mor is BETTER!!!

Hi everybody! Today, Marizo and I will be posting a debate. It is the following: who is better -- Mor or Manon?

I say Mor is better!

Mor is better for the following reasons:

• Mor had fought in the War
• Mor is extremely strong
• She always tells the truth
• She is much prettier than Manon!
• Mor is Rhysand's Second In Command
• Mor is an amazing friend and person
• She is really nice, caring, and loving
• If you were in danger, she would do anything to help save you
• She is Rhysand's cousin
• She is extremely positive and has shown Rhys that there will always be a way out of the darkness
• Mor has the BEST family EVER! -- Rhysand, Feyre, Cassian, Azriel, and Amren
• Mor is very mature

The following are quotes and pics of Mor:

“I believe everything happens for a reason. Whether it is decided by the Mother, or the Cauldron, or some sort of tapestry of Fate, I don't know. I don't really care. But I am grateful for it, whatever it is. Grateful that it brought you all into my life. If it hadn't... I might have become as awful as that prick we're going to face today. If I had not met an Illyrian warrior-in-training," he said to Cassian, "I would not have known the true depths of strength, of resilience, of honor and loyalty." Cassian's eyes gleamed bright. Rhys said to Azriel, "If I had not met a shadowsinger, I would not have known that it is the family you make, not the one you are born into, that matters. I would not have known what it is to truly hope, even when the world tells you to despair." Azriel bowed his head in thanks. 
Mor was already crying when Rhys spoke to her. "If I had not met my cousin, I would neer have learned that light can be found in even the darkest of hells. That kidness can thrive even amongst cruelty." She wiped away her teas as she nodded. 
I waited for Amren to offer a retort. But she was only waiting. 
Rhys bowed his head to her. "If I had not met a tiny monster who hoards jewels more fiercely than a firedrake..." A quite laugh from all of us at that. Rhys smiled softly. "My own power would have consumed me long ago."
Rhys squeezed my hand as he looked to me at last. "And if I had not met my mate..." His words failed him as silver lined his eyes. 
He said down the bond, I would have waited five hundred more years for you. A thousand years. And if this was all the time we were allowed to have... The wait was worth it. 
He wiped away the tears sliding down my face. "I believe that everything happened, exactly the way it had to... so I could find you." He kissed another tear away.” 
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Wings and Ruin (Rhysand talking to Mor and the rest of his family)

“I once lived in a place where the opinion of others mattered. It suffocated me, nearly broke me. So you’ll understand me, Feyre, when I say that I know what you feel, and I know what they tried to do to you, and that with enough courage, you can say to hell with a reputation. You do what you love, what you need” 
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Mist and Fury (Mor)

“I want them to hear your story. And know that there is a special strength..." As I spoke I realized I needed to hear it, know it, too. "A special strength in enduring such dark trials and hardships... And still remaining warm, and kind. Still willing to trust—and reach out.” 
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Mist and Fury (Feyre talking to Mor)

“A queen—a queen who bowed to no one, a queen who had faced them all down and triumphed. A queen who owned her body, her life, her destiny, and never apologized for it.” 
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Mist and Fury (talking about Mor)

Italy is Better!

Hi guys! I am so sorry that I posted so late for our Serious Sunday debate.

I think that Italy is better than Greece for the following reasons:

• Italy is extremely pretty 
• The people there are really nice
• In Italy, there are Alps, and beautiful mountains and vegetation
• Italy is along the Mediterranean Sea and has extremely beautiful beaches
• Italy's food, culture, sights, language, and flavors are all magnificent
• Italy has mopeds that you can drive at 13 (if you get a license)
• Italy's ice cream is really, really good
• Italy also has top-quality and healthy food
• In 2016, an American artist named Christo built floating piers on Lago D'Iseo, at the place in which my family is from (and currently lives in)
• Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, and other famous stars came to visit these floating piers
• Italy also has many tourist attractions: Rome, Pisa, Florence, Venezia, Verona, the Cinque Terre, Volterra, and many others

The following are pics of Italy:

This is the city Lovere, where my family is from

This is a picture of Lago D'Iseo, one of the biggest lakes throughout Italy. There is an island in the middle of it that is named Monte Isola. 

This is an image of the floating piers. They connected to Monte Isola and two other islands in the lake. The piers were amazing -- it was like walking on water! (you actually were)

This is an image of one of the Cinque Terre

This is also another picture of one of the Cinque Terre

This is an image of a moped that people in Italy drive

If you think that Italy is better than Greece, please comment on this post! Thank you!😄

Greece is Better!

So Alexa and I, Marizo Bheh, are debating for our belated Serious Sunday post about which country is better- Greece or Italy?

So of course because I'm Greek I think Greece is the best

• Greece has amazing bridges
• Greece has amazing ancient ruins
• Greece has amazing food like gyro, pastichio, and moussaka
• Greece also has amazing people 
• Greece has awesome traditional dances too

and so that is why Greece is better

Rhysand is BETTER!

Hi everybody! I hope you all enjoyed your Friday!

Today, I will be debating against Marizo for the following debate: who is better -- Magnus or Rhysand?

Rhysand is better!

Rhysand is better for the following reasons:

• He is extremely strong (one of the strongest warriors)
• He is extremely muscular and fit
• He has wings
• He has blue-black hair and purple eyes
• He is extremely handsome and good-looking
• He can fly, has the power of darkness, rules the biggest territory throughout Prythian (the continent he lives on), he is High Lord of the Night Court, he can winnow (travel from one place to another by vanishing), he is a daematai (a person that can read and enter into the minds of others [I don't think I spelled it right]), and he can easily crush someones mind and bones without even lifting a finger (he is s good person -- he will only do this to bad people)
• Rhysand is extremely caring, sweet, and kind
• He is very protective of you
• He gives you the choice to do things 
• He ruined most of his life so he could protect his family and keep them safe and well-hidden from evil forces
• He will do anything for you 
• If you are in danger, he will come and save you
• Rhysand has gone through so much (he has a terrible past), while Magnus did not have that bad of a past (he spent most of his time dating people and visiting places around the world)
• Rhysand has an AMAZING family: Feyre (High Lady of the Night Court and his mate), Cassian (one of the best Illyrian warriors, Rhys' brother, and the leader of all Rhys' armies), Azriel (the shadowsinger, Rhys' other brother, and spy), Amren (Rhys' Third In Command, and a being that is not from Earth [or the world that all the characters live in]), and Mor (Rhys' cousin, and First In Command)
• All of Rhys' family members are extremely sweet, kind, loving, and protective of one another. They respect each other, and all love one another very, very much

Rhysand quotes:

“To the people who look at the stars and wish, Rhys."
Rhys clinked his glass against mine. “To the stars who listen— and the dreams that are answered.” 
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Mist and Fury

“I believe everything happens for a reason. Whether it is decided by the Mother, or the Cauldron, or some sort of tapestry of Fate, I don't know. I don't really care. But I am grateful for it, whatever it is. Grateful that it brought you all into my life. If it hadn't... I might have become as awful as that prick we're going to face today. If I had not met an Illyrian warrior-in-training," he said to Cassian, "I would not have known the true depths of strength, of resilience, of honor and loyalty." Cassian's eyes gleamed bright. Rhys said to Azriel, "If I had not met a shadowsinger, I would not have known that it is the family you make, not the one you are born into, that matters. I would not have known what it is to truly hope, even when the world tells you to despair." Azriel bowed his head in thanks. 
Mor was already crying when Rhys spoke to her. "If I had not met my cousin, I would neer have learned that light can be found in even the darkest of hells. That kidness can thrive even amongst cruelty." She wiped away her teas as she nodded.

Magnus is amaze!

SO, this week Alexa and I, Marizo, are debating who is better: Rhysand (A Court of Thorns and Roses) or Magnus (The Mortal Instruments, The Infernal Devices, The Dark Artifices, Welcome To Shadowhunter Academy, The Bane Chronicles)? And I say MAGNUS ALL THE WAY!!!

So, here are all of the reaons of why Magnus Bane is the best:

• Magnus appears in countless series, while Rhysand is currently only in one
• Magnus has cat eyes, and not elf ears (Rhysand has elf ears)
• He has a cat called Chairman Meow, and had a cat (that unfortunatly passed away) that was called Great Castby.
• Magnus Bane has started a family with Alec Lightwood (they've got 2 kids)
• He is the High Warlock of Brooklyn
• He has awesome magic
• He loves GLITTER
• He is good looking!
• He is also on tv (he's in a movie and also in a tv show)

Quotes:

“Even the Inquisitor's eyebrows shot up when Magnus strode through the gate. The High Warlock was wearing black leather pants, a belt with a buckle in the shape of a jeweled M, and a cobalt-blue Prussian military jacket open over a white lace shirt. He shimmered with layers of glitter. His gaze rested for a moment on Alec's face with amusement and a hint of something else before moving on to Jace, prone on the ground.
"Is he dead?" he inquired. "He looks dead."
"No," snapped Maryse. "He's not dead."
"Have you checked? I could kick him if you want." Magnus moved toward Jace."Stop that!" the Inquisitor snapped, sounding like Clary's third-grade teacher demanding that she stop doodling on her desk with a marker.”

“Even the trip throught the Portal had not disarranged Magnus's hair spikes. He tugged on one proudly. "Check it out", he said to Isabelle.

"Magic?"

"Hair gel. $3.99 at Ricky's.” 

“And I don’t see how Sebastian can be all that fond of Jace, either. He was horribly jealous of him all his life. He thought Jace was Valentine’s favorite,” added Clary.

“Not to mention,” Magnus noted, “that Jace killed him. That would put anyone off.” 

“We came to see Jace. Is he alright?"

"I don't know," Magnus said. "Does he normally just lie on the floor like that without moving?” 

“Malachi scowled. "I don't remember the Clave inviting you into the Glass City, Magnus Bane."

"They didn't," Magnus said. "Your wards are down."

"Really?" the Consul's voice dripped sarcasm. "I hadn't noticed."

Magnus looked concerned. "That's terrible. Someone should have told you." He glanced at Luke. "Tell him the wards are down.” 

“You endure what is unbearable, and you bear it. That is all.” 

“Magnus, standing by the door, snapped his fingers impatiently. "Move it along, teenagers. The only person who gets to canoodle in my bedroom is my magnificent self."

"Canoodle?" repeated Clary, never having heard the word before.

"Magnificent?" repeated Jace, who was just being nasty. Magnus growled. The growl sounded like "Get out.” 

“They say time heals all wounds, but that presumes the source of the grief is finite”

“Come in. And try not to murder any of my guests." 

Jace edged into the doorway, sizing up Magnus with his eyes. "Even if one of them spills a drink on my new shoes?"

"Even then.”

“I was alive when the Dead Sea was just a lake that was feeling a little poorly.” 

“I've got the Mark of Cain," said Simon. "That means nothing can kill me, right?"

"You can kill yourself," Magnus said, somewhat unhelpfully. "As far as I know, inanimate objects can accidentally kill you. So if you were planning on teaching yourself the lambada on a greased platform over a pit full of knives, I wouldn't."

"There goes my Saturday.”  

“You’re seventeen,” Magnus said. “You can’t have wasted a life you’ve barely lived.” 

So, I am betting you guys can all tell now why Magnus is such an amazing book/tv/movie character! And you guys can all tell why he is better than Rhysand!

Solar Energy is better!

Hi guys! I am sorry that I did not post on Sunday; I have been having a very busy week.

Today, I will be posting why solar energy is better than geothermal energy.

The following is why solar energy is better:

• solar energy is a renewable resource
• It is good for the environment -- it doesn't pollute 
• You can set up solar panels at your house, which will take the energy from the sun and convert it to electricity that you can use to provide power to all of the electrical appliances in your home
• You can make a profit from solar energy -- any extra electricity that is created by the solar panels that you will not use could be bought from an electricity company
• If you use solar energy to power the things in your home, you will not have to pay an electrical company (you will not have to pay anyone, and you would actually be making a profit)
• You need a power plant to be able to use geothermal energy (which you cannot install in your backyard)

If you think that solar energy is better than geothermal energy, please comment on this post! Thank you!😃

Geothermal Energy is better

So Alexa and I, Marizo, are arguing what is the best source of energy. I think the best source of energy is geothermal energy and here is a video I made explaining why:

Happy New Year, everybody!

I hope you all enjoyed your holidays!
