Talking as Your Character

Man today was an amazing day. The zoo was full of people. The flamingo exhibit was full of tourists. Being a flamingo is tuff though. Getting made fun of because your legs bend the other way its awful. And just because you are pink doesn't mean you're a girl. Because i'm positive that I'm a guy.

Im trying to go to sleep, but the other flamingos won't shut up. It mainly Bob, Kevin, and Jill. They're so annoying. Talking and constantly drinking the pond water. Man, I could just slap them.

I have an extremely good feeling about my short story. Writing this year is seems like it is going well so far. My character for the short story is a flamingo named Fil. I like his name to have and f instead of a ph. Fil is a good guy who lives in the zoo and thinks he is a good person. He thinks he's protecting people and helping the zoo. So far its flowing pretty well  for me. I am a tad bit worried on how I can make the story sound good. I'm not good with dialogue, so i'm going to need to practice. Im also want to use vivid details and make it a great story.

Im still reading Insurgent and its going well. Each character in the book keeps changing and keeps it very interesting. I am confused about Tris and Christina's relationship though. I think i have an idea why but i'm not positive.

Reading Response

Most of this week I spent working on mil narrative. I really enjoyed the paper. I was surprised because normally I don't usually like writing. I feel that I did well on this paper and I hope I enjoy reading later on in life. I also picked up on some of my old car and driver magazines.

My dad saved them for me. I read some old 2000 issues. It was really weird reading them all. I had around 20 magazines. It took me about an hour. Reading about all these cars that were new and are now old was fascinating, seeing all the design changes from 2000 to 2013. It was great.

E-book

For the class e-book I have now concerns for what i put in it. On the other hand I think the design should be a mixture of a professional book and each of the authors own flare in our fonts, photos, etc. For my own I would like to have an engaging font and some photos of me being goofy and other things I like. I also think that everyone else should do what they want for their own pieces.

For the title and cover I believe I say a  title that was [Insert Title Here], I really like that one. I also think it would be cool if the cover page had all of our signatures on it with a collage of random photos we choose, that would be amazing.

Insurgent is still a good book, but there are some other books that i want to read though so i think i might take a break from it. I really want to talk about my literacy narrative though. So far its going very well. I had a hard time choosing a topic at first and even after I talked to my teacher I still had a hard time choosing. I went home the net day and just started typing something that related to the topic we were given.

I chose that reading and I don't get along very well. And my scene is mostly in the first day of 5th grade reading class. It's pretty good so far and after i get my graded rough draft back I'm going to be happy to start revising it. So here is my reading log:

Dialogue

It's a bright Saturday morning, at the end of the first week of collage for Jim and Kevin. Jim being much more responsible wakes u early and makes his bed, drinks his coffee, yada, yada, yada... 

"Ahggg," moans Jim as he peered into the fridge. "Kevin!? Did you eat my breakfast burrito last night?

"I don't remember." Kevin moaned half asleep.

"Kevin, it's the first week of school and you're already stealing my food, do it again and i'm kickin you out!" Jim exclaimed. 

"Jeez bro, chillax, I didn't eat your burrito last night," Kevin said "your creepy health food hurts my stomach anyways."

"Then where the heck is my burrito?"

Kevin doesn't answer, he just walk back into his room and goes back to sleep. 

"This is going to be an extremely long school year." Jim commented as he pulls out the supplies to make another burrito.

Stuart Little Respons 9/2

Over this past weekend i watch Stuart Little. It is a really cool but different movie. Its about a boy and his adopted brother mouse learning to live with each other. It relates to similar problems now when brothers and sisters don't get along. Also that you need to get to know somebody before you deem them an outcast.

I dont always get along with my sisters and when i first met my stepsisters I didn't care much for them. Then i talked to them and we goofed around and now we all love each other. This movies is also really entertaining and cool My favorite part is when Stuart drive his remote controlled car around.

Insurgent is one of my all time favorite books and I haven't even finished it. The characters over the books have developed in many ways. Tris in Divergent was still fitting in to her new faction but in insurgent she seems to be known throughout all of the factions. Tris is also very sturdy. She gets hit and it and never backs down.

I get very confused with all of the factions and which has which trait. And which faction all of the dauntless members are. I guess that they just travel with Tris. All together its well organized.
