Houses and Factions for the Billionth Time

I made a table. I like making tables. It shows the correlation between Hogwarts Houses and Factions (Yeah, I know, I've done that 200 times already). The table shows how common it is for a Ravenclaw to also be an Erudite, a Gryffindor to also be a Dauntless and so on.

	Ravenclaw	Gryffindor	Hufflepuff	Slytherin
Erudite	Obviously very common as both Erudite and Ravenclaw value intelligence.	Not very common. Gryffindors are unlikely to value intelligence enough to be in Erudte and most Erudite would not be considered brave.	Very uncommon. Erudite are rarely kind and loyal and (no offense) Hufflepuffs on average do not have above average intelligence.	Quite common. Perhaps as common as Erudite/Ravenclaw. Many Erudite are willing to go to any means to get what they want and Slytherins can be very intelligent.
Dauntless	Very uncommon. Not many Ravenclaws would be cut out for Dauntless and the Dauntless would find Ravenclaw extremely dull.	Very common, as both focus on bravery, though the two are more different then most people seem to think.	Quite uncommon, though not impossible. I have a hard time imagining this, though.	Quite common. Slytherins can be just as reckless as Gryffindors, and both Dauntless and Slytherins aren’t usually very nice.
Amity	Not very common. Ravenclaws generally don’t mind conflict, which means they’re not likely to choose Amity.	Not likely, since Amity avoid conflict and Gryffindors are willing to fight if necessary.	Very common. Hufflepuffs are the most peaceful of the houses and value kindness, just like the Amity do.	Very, very, very uncommon. These two are kind of the opposite and I don’t see how someone could possibly be an Amity Slytherin.
Candor	Fairly common. Ravenclaws value the truth.	Not very common, but not unheard of. Gryffindors can be very honest.	Kind of common, though many Hufflepuffs might lie if it would hurt someones feelings. Still, not impossible.	Fairly common. Slytherins do tend to say what’s on their mind (though they usually have to problem lying). I think Slytherins are more likely to be Dauntless or Erudite.
Abnegation	Quite uncommon. Abnegation, being so selfless, would not fit well into the mostly self centered Ravenclaws and Ravenclaws would find Abnegation tedious.	Fairly common. Many Gryffindors are very selfless, in fact it is one of their defining traits, and as Tris says, selflessness and bravery are kind of the same thing.	Quite common. Being so kind and helpful, Hufflepuffs wpuld generally do well in Abnegation.	Extremely uncommon. Practically impossible. Selflessness goes against the nature of Slytherins in every way possible.

Cress

I read the first two books in the Lunar Chronicles (Cinder and Scarlet) a while ago. I wanted to read Cress as soon as it came out but it took a really long time arriving at the library. The wait was worth it, though. The third book was just as good as the first two. I read it in two days. I went to a book signing with Marissa Meyer recently and got Cinder signed. Um... sorry, that was kind of random. Anyway, I hope movies are made for The Lunar Chronicles. Except I also kind of hope there won't be any movies because they would most likely be totally messed up.

The Book Thief

I don't usually like historical fiction. But I decided to try reading The Book Thief. I'm really glad I did. It was not what I expected. The book is narrated by death, which is really weird and cool. It's written really well and it's just great and amazing so shut up and go read it. No, seriously. Even if you usually don't like historical fiction (like me), try it out anyway. If you don't at least find it interesting I don't understand you. I want to see the movie because I've heard it's really good.

My Favourite Sherlock Quote from Each Episode

A Study in Pink: "Shut up Anderson, you lower the IQ of the entire street."

The Blind Banker: "I'm not Sherlock Holmes." "I don't believe you." "You should, you know. Sherlock Holmes is nothing at all like him. How would you describe me, John? Resourceful? Dynamic? Enigmatic?" "Late."

The Great Game: "Has it occurred to you..." "Probably."

A Scandal in Belgravia: "Punch me in the face." "Punch you?" "Yes, punch me in the face. Didn't you hear me?" "I always hear punch me in the face when you're speaking but it's usually subtext."

The Hounds of Baskerville: "I don't have friends. I've just got one."

The Reichenbach Fall: "You're ordinary. You're on the side of the angels." "I might be on the side of the angels, but don't think for one second that I am one of them."

The Empty Hearse: "Interesting thing a tuxedo. Lends distinction to friends and anonymity to waiters." "John, John! What is it?" "Well, short version: Not. Dead." "Bit mean to spring it on you like that, I know... could have given you a heart attack... probably still will... in my defense it was very funny... okay it's not a great defense."  "Oh no. You're..." "Oh yes." "Oh my God." "Not quite." "You died. You jumped off a roof." "No." "You're dead." "No, I'm quite sure. I checked."

The Sign of Three: "They're right about you. You're a bloody psychopath." "High functioning sociopath. With your number."

His Last Vow: "I'm not a hero, I'm a high functioning sociopath. Merry Christmas!"

Ender's Game

I just finished Ender's Game last night. I probably stayed up too late reading but I don't care. It's a pretty good book. It has a cool plot. I'm going to see the movie. I hope it's good. I like the main actor.

..........I'm really bad at writing reviews. You could just read one on Goodreads or something if you're interested. There's no point in talking about anything other than my opinions.

This is kind of random, but it annoys me when I see a movie before I read the book (if the movie was adapted from a book.) I made an exception for Sherlock because that's kind of different. I saw Life of Pi without reading the book and that was really annoying. I still haven't read the book. That's mostly why I read Ender's Game. my dad wants to see the movie.

Divergent Movie

I hate writing book and movie reviews. So, as usual, this isn't exactly a review, just my thoughts on the movie.

It was good. Not many books are treated well in their movie adaptations. But this movie was done well. It basically stuck to the book, but there were a few changes. None of these changes bothered me, in fact, I think many of them improved the plot.

The actors are great. I was especially impressed by Theo James. Four is a confusing character, and I really did not expect the movie to get him right. But they did. Shailene Woodley was great too. I thought the movie might make her too much like Katniss, but it didn't.

So, pretty much what I have to say is this: I was afraid the movie would be awful, and it wasn't. In fact, it went beyond that. It was so much better than I anticipated.
