short story reading

   Truthfully I haven't liked many of the short stories we've read. I've found them rather boring, confusing, weird, or just all. However I have noticed some good things about them. While I don't like them, I can tell the amount of work, good quality, and thought put into them. In the story A&P I noticed the amount of imagery, and thought put into each character. While the story itself was boring, the writer put in much effort on each character. Each one was described in a manner in witch you could picture, and get every detail about the person. The author described them from there personality, to there looks, and all the way to the way they walk. Allot of effort was put into there looks. In the story a very old man with enormous wings, the author focused allot on the mood. The mood in that story was very affective, and rite off the bat it was a good setting.

Mary Clare

It's midnight and my mind is drawing a blank. A rush of tiredness comes over me as I enter my small courters. The sound of music still fills the down stairs, keeping a steady happy beat of restlessness. My feet are sore from the past six hours of lively dancing, music, and all just plane fun. Yet four straits nights of  parties has left me tired. My room felt cosy. The maids had left a small fire burning in the corner of the room. The soft pink bead was made perfectly, in an army style fashion.  I closed, and locked the door's, stuffing a sheet in the cracks, hoping to keep out the light and music. I got into the bead, and listened to the crackling of the fire.  A quick thought went over me in my next attack. I shook it away. "I am a lady," I said to my self. "I am to be polite and helpless." Yet I could not help to think that that is what I am suppose to be. For I am more than what meets the eye. I did my best to stop all thoughts, and just listen to the howling of the wind outside. I slowly drifted to sleep, with the thought on my mind, "what is my next move?" And as all this happen'd, I stared at the black cape, and clothing sitting in the door of my closet, as if a person was watching me in my last minuets before sleep.

This weak I started the book, The Blind Side. Witch so far it is very good. I believe that most people have seen the movie, and it is exactly the same story. The book is about Michael Oher a famous football player, whose life started off not where you thought it would be. So far Michael is a kid who lives in a bad part of town. He sleeps on a friends couch, makes really bad grades, and doesent have a home. His friend's dad gets him into a nice school, where he still is not doing well. But worst so far, he is not allowed to sleep on the couch anymore, and is kicked to the streets.

E book

I'm excited to make this E book thing. First off, I would like to have somebody go over my paper again, just to make shore that there are no mistakes. I think it would be cool if we used real pictures or things from the event that we wrote about in our book. I also think it would be cool to have a really cool, painted, or abstract picture in the front. Also maybe the pictures could be in black and white, or some old fashioned looking way. I don't know,  but I think it would be cool to have it look some what old fashioned.  Like the founts could be cursive, or calligraphy, or a cool print for the title and stuff.

      This weak I didn't do as much reading as I wanted to, because I've ben writing my paper. However, I did finally finish the book, looking for Alaska. All I can say was that it was amazing, and so heart felt. Throughout the rest of the book, it kept you on the edge of your seat. I'm not going to explain anything that happened though, you have to read it to find out. Also I read some really good literacy narratives this weak. In Allison's narrative, I loved the imagery that she put in it. I felt like I was there with her in the lower school building.  I also liked the big words that Eli used in his. I red some great essays.

conversation

     .............. Standing on the grey edge of a 50 story building, Jake started having second thoughts about jumping. The salty sweet rolled down his fave like rain drops, and his heart pounded like a drum.
"Man are you shure this is going to work, because I, I don't like falling to my death." Said Jake to Liam in a shivering voice.
      "Well duh its going to work, stop being a cry baby. I specifically designed the boots to be able to carry a man your size without failure."
         "What if there is a failure? WHat if it doesent start automatically? what if..."
  "If theres not gonna be one. Besides if it doesent start automatically, it should start before you hit the 25th story." Liam's eyes were filled with excitement and hope that his rocket boots would work. His words were soothing and confident that his life's work would not come to a gruesome end. For months now Liam had ben telling Jake that he had finally found a way to create the first human super hero. Like Iron man he created boots that would give the rider stability, and control in the air and a safe landing.
 "If you don't go I'll push you off."
"Id rather that maybe, bust then again... fine."
    Taking three steps forward, jake looked down at the hard concert below.
"Well this is it."
"Think of it this way pal, if it works you the first human rocket."
"Yep the first human rocket. I can do this." Taking a deep breath in and clenching his eyes close jake jumped. Wind rushed passed as he fell, down and down. Then he felt a jolt, and the rush came to an end. Thinking I'm dead I'm dead. Then slowly opening his eyes he saw a seen of thousands of buildings in the sunset, and small ant like people down below.
"It worked it actually worked."
"I told you so."

         This weak I have started the book Looking for Alaska. The main character Miles is going to a boarding school known as Clover Creek in Alabama. So far on the first day he has met his room mate, a great smart minded kid named the Colonel, and the beautiful Alaska, a girl who has taken his heart. Miles is the just there type of person in school. Not many people know him, he is not the popular guy. He is does not smoke, drink, or do bad things, however it seams now that mite all change. 

              My question is he going to fall under the influence of other people. My answer is he may. When left alone on the swings a day before school started he already started smoking. Whether he is addicted or not it is unknown. His statements were that he was on a swing by himself. he had cigarettes, and three that he thought that if everyone else could do it so could he. But he mostly went with the reason that bugs were out side and the smoke would drive them away. The question still holds though will he do more stuff, especially sense he hangs out with Alaska, who is known not to be the goody two shoes type of girl.

This is Water

    I found the video this is water interesting, humorous, and boring. I had very mixed emotions. This is water is about the adult world, and how every day you do the same thing every day. Its about how adults deal with themselves, mostly resulting in them thinking that there the center of the world. The speaker went on about how this stuff happens everyday and that people cant help to feel the way they do. However on days that he can he gave tips that teach you to put yourself in a better position. Such as finally realizing that the world doesn't revolve around you. Then giving yourself reasons as to why things are happening in a cretan way. Then going with the flow.
         I found it to give me allot of insight to the grownup world. At first I thought that the video was going to be on gold fish or water, but it wasn't. I liked how it opened up, with fish doing there every day normal things, and how that was suppose to represent grownups going through there daly lives. I knew life was stress full, but I didn't totally know how stressful. Im glad i watched this, because i got some very helpful tips that will help me in the future.
