~When Calls the Heart review update~

Season 4 is on Netflix! We are already finished with it now(so soon). So, now that season 4 is finished, it's time for an update, don't you think? Here we go then.




Elizabeth Thatcher.

Elizabeth has grown a lot. If you look at season 1, where she's still a bit...well, scared, so to say. Not used to the life in Hope Valley(it was Coal Valley back then). She can't ride a horse, she can't cook or bake anything, and she hardly has any friends. Now she isn't afraid to stand up for herself, has her own(very strong)will, has a lot of friends, can ride horse and can cook, and fits in Hope Valley perfectly right now. She doesn't want to live anywhere else. She is still a meddler, now even more than first, but that is mainly just for the sake of her students and Hope Valley.


Jack Thornton.

Jack is mainly still the same. He is loyal to his job as Mountie, and therefore goes away. He still cares a lot about Hope Valley, maybe even more now. He grew more attached to Hope Valley and doesn't want to leave either. But, duty calls! (That, you will understand if you have watched season 4) He brings his relationship with Elizabeth to a higher level and loves her even more.


Frank Hogan and Abigail Stanton.

I put them together, because there were not much nice pictures where Frank is on alone. Abigail is still protective, very caring, and trusts people very soon. Some think she trusts people too soon. She becomes mayor of Hope Valley, and forfills that duty very well. As for Frank, I like him a bit more now. He is determined, and tries to take care of and help everyone. Let us just say, he is okay now. Not my favourite, but okay. :)


Rosemary Coulter.

Rosemary is still the same good-meant meddling, stubborn, enthusiastic about everything, funny Rosemary. She still loves to help and solve problems. And she has a will of her own, and believes all of her ideas will work, she never gives up. When things turn out bad, when something fails, she will try something else until it works out. She is my favourite character in the whole series.


Lee Coulter.

Lee is also still the same. Both he and Rosemary haven't changed a bit. And I'm glad for that! He is a good friend, puts up with Rosemary's complaints and even her well-meant talking-instead-of-him. You know, when he lost his voice and she did all the talking for him, ordering dozens of pies, scones, cupcakes and giving Jesse a higher position, and handling hard with the railway people(with that, I mean she demanded more money). He has his break-down moments from time to time, and then Rosemary on her turn puts up with him. When he was sad because Cody being sick reminded him of his brother Patrick, and when he had a deadline or else the railway wouldn't get the wood from him but from another saw mill company. He and Rosemary really fit.


Bill Avery.

Remember when I said in my previous review of When Calls the Heart that I didn't like him that much? Well, that changed. I like him now. He is protective, a good friend, and knows how people feel, he knows when something is wrong. He also never gives up. A.J. Foster was a woman who wanted to testify against Henry Gowen, but she pulled back on the last moment. He searched for her, and eventually caught her. Even though she escaped.


Jesse Flynn and Clara Stanton.

I like these two a lot. It is a bit disappointing that they are not in the show more often. I would like to see more of them in season 5, because they are both favourites of mine. Clara is really nice, and Jesse too. So yeah, I wish they were more seen in season 4.


Henry Gowen.

He is okay now. First he was grumpy and didn't want to accept help from anyone, then he did. But then he did business with the railway again and helped put Elizabeth off her position. Then he felt guilty, when a man who was hired by Ray Wyatt was sent to kill Bill and A.J. Foster. He didn't want them to die. And when Ray Wyatt pointed his gun at Bill and wanted to shoot him, Henry stopped him. To me, he's still on the good side, even when he did some bad things. He wanted to stay too, when Cody was sick. To see how it ended, before he would leave.


Faith Carter.

Faith is nice. She is a kind woman, and a good nurse. Sorry, I really don't have a lot to say about her.



Ray Wyatt.

I do not like Ray Wyatt. Of course, he is the bad guy. In my head, I scream: no! whenever he comes on screen. :|

~The Book Lover's Tag~

I have been tagged with The Book Lover's Tag by Hannah from Books, Cameras, and Succulents! Yes, yes, yes!! Thank you Hannah, for tagging me!

Rules:

Answer the questions
Have fun! (I sure will!)
Tag some book loving bloggers


1. If you could rewrite the end of a book, which one would it be?

O....kay. I'll try to think of one. Maybe Fire by Night by Lynn Austin. Because Ted dying was the saddest thing. But no, no. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. The end was so so sad. Rudy, Hans and Rosa Hubermann...It was so sad. I would have loved if they hadn't died. So, maybe that end.

2. Which fictional character are you most like?

Oh, let me see. No one? I can't think of anyone. Well okay, maybe Jane or Rosalind from The Penderwicks.

3. Do you have any signed books?

Nope. Not any.


4. What's the best book you've read so far this year?

This year?

The Book Thief. Honestly, I haven't really read any new books, except for this one and Go Set A Watchman by Harper Lee. Even though this had a lot of swearing in it (I just didn't read that, I read through those things), it was a great book!







5. Do you have any bookish pet peeves?

Yep. Donkey ears, loose pages, torn pages. Those.


6. Out of the books you have read this year, what has had your favourite cover?

Someday, Someday, Maybe by Lauren Graham.


7. Is there a book that releases this year that you cannot wait to read?

Brotherband book 7 and a short book of Ranger's Apprentice. There aren't any more books that I really want to read. I can't think of any except for these two.


8. What is your favourite non-fiction book?

So, based on a true story, right? Or on true events? I haven't read many of those, except for the story of Anne Frank and oh yes...Little House on the Prairie of course!

9. Do you have any favourite location and/or time period to have a book set in?


Well, I love fictional countries. They are always so magical and different than the real thing. Like houses inside of trees or a big village in the trees. On underground. Anything like that. Time period: Not specificly a favourite. I love any time period, except for futuristic.

10. Is there a book that reminds you of something else?


Well actually there is. It's a Dutch book I read when I was like eight or nine. Can't remember the title nor the author, but I read it when we were on vacation to Belgium, so it reminds me of our vacation there.

Just to make it easier, and not name everyone and everybody, I tag you who reads this.

And then I mean all of you!

~Be yourself~

This has nothing to do with the post, again.

My youngest siblings keep repeating this. It is the funniest part according to them.

So was this :) Anyhow, lets get down to business. *in mind adding: to defeat the Huns!*

Be you. Always stay yourself, no matter what they say.

If they criticize your opinions

Stay yourself.

If they criticize you

Stay yourself.

If they say you can't do this, because you're not the right person for this

Stay yourself.

If they say you will fail, because you're not smart enough


Stay yourself.

If they say mean things about you or your family


Stay yourself.

If they mock your dressing style or anything about you

Stay yourself.

If they try to change you

Stay yourself. 

Always, always, stay yourself. It doesn't matter if you don't fit in, because if you should be or dress otherwise just to be in their group, they're probably not worth your companionship.You are what you are because of everyone around you. Because of your family, God, your friends. And because of yourself.

''They say: ''It is better to give than to receive'', right? Well, I say: ''It is better to forgive than to have grudge''. Because having grudge is not good. It eats you. It takes away all your time and lets you forget what's really important. The things that are really important, are family and friends. And forgiveness. Forgiveness is a good thing. It's a gift. Just like love, and honesty, and kindness. I am who I am because of them. Because of all of them. Because of my family, because of my friends and because of myself. And for that I thank them ,with all of my heart. It doesn't matter how many times they have said to you that you're not good, that you don't belong with them, that you should be different. Don't pay attention to that. Stay yourself, no matter what happens.''



Who can guess where that's from? ;) No, just joking. I think I made my point. No matter what happens and what they say, you should be yourself, always. This was kind of a short post, just like the one about dreams,remember? But I wanted to write this down. I just did. Even though it may be a bit confusing, or short.

~Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken: A Review~

Told you I would make a review. This is such a good movie. The story is about Sonora Webster(it is based on a true story), a young girl who dreams to dive with horses. When she gets kicked out of the house by her aunt, she leaves to find Mr Carver, who owns a show with diving horses. She, after a few difficulties, gets a job as stableboy(well, girl, actually). A new horse arrives, who she calls Lightning(after a big horse she had at her aunts house), and she(together with Al) tames the horse. Mr Carver says to her she has a chance if she learns how to drive the horse. So she does, even though she fails a lot.But eventually she dives with horses instead of Marie(I thought her name was Marie, maybe I'm wrong, I couldn't find a picture of her, but she's the girl in the third picture from the right row). Al leaves, but writes Sonora every day(she didn't receive them, Mr Carver held them from her). One day, Lightning is sick and she doesn't know what to do. Al returns and they save Lightning, but he cannot dive for a while. Al arranged a job in Atlantic City, but on the road to it, Mr Carver dies. Sonora has to dive with the other horse, but it is scared for the loud music. Before Sonora rides, Al asks her to marry him and she says yes, with the whole public listening(such a sweet scene). Then she jumps with the horse, but it gets scared and they land wrong. The horse is not harmed, but Sonora came in the water with eyes opened. She says it is nothing, but when her sight goes away one day, she is examined by the doctor. She will be blind forever. So diving is not possible anymore. Sonora doesn't want to give up, and tries to ride Lightning, even when she is blind, but it doesn't work. But then she, together with Clifford, locks Marie and dives with the horse herself, even when she is blind. Al and Sonora get married(not shown in the movie), and Sonora dives for 11 years blind, without the public knowing. It is a great movie, and you should really see it!

Sonora Webster.

Gabrielle Anwar plays Sonora, which she does very well. Sonora is a stubborn, rather wild, girl. I really like her. She is so brave and I felt so sad when she got blind and couldn't perform the diving anymore, her dream.


Al Carver.

Al is also very stubborn, and his father too, by the way. He doesn't have a very good relationship with his father, they always argue. He falls in love with Sonora, but after another fight with his father, he leaves. But loyally writes, even though she doesn't write back(she couldn't, but he didn't know that). He cares a lot about Sonora, but also about his dad, even when he doesn't show and they argue a lot. I like him.


Doc Carver.

I didn't really like him first. He was always fighting with his son, Al never did anything right in his eyes. He cares for his show, and doesn't want to give it up. He hides Al's letters from Sonora, which I thought was very mean of him. I mean, let her read them. They're hers! He didn't have the right to hold the letters back. But anyway, he is sorry later and tries to apologize to her, but he dies without telling her(she later finds one of Al's last letters, where he writes he loves her). I liked him in the end.


Clifford.

I couldn't find a picture of him, sorry. They are hard to find, the pictures. But anyway, I really liked Clifford. He was so funny, and sweet, and such a good friend. When Al was practicing: ''Ladies and gentlemen, Sonora and Lightning!'', you know, he and Sonora overheard it and laughed so hard about it. He walked away, still shouting: ''Ladies and gentlemen!'' and laughing. I think he was my favourite character.


Marie.

As I said before, no picture of her also. I didn't like Marie, so spoiled and ''Sonora is too poor and not good enough for me and my show''. And then telling Sonora she wasn't pretty, ugh.

For the rest, there was no other major character. This was really a good movie, even though I couldn't really make a proper deserved review about it. Really good!
