most intriguing minor character...

I think that Lucy is very intriguing. She is the type of person that all the girls wish they could be. To them she was the pretty beauty queen with the perfec life. The thing i find most interesting that she was far from perfect and her life wasnt perfect either. Alot of people look at someone and wish that they could have their life becuase to them they "have it all." If you think about it no one is perfect. We all make mistakes. We all have cried. We all have regrets. No one person or their life is ever perfect. Lucy's character reminds me of the saying of looks can be decieving. To the world she seemed like a very happy girl who loved being the beauty queen but deep down inside she was miserable.

Taking stock of your work...

How well do you think you told the story
~I think that i told the story rather well. I gave the reader enough information to get my point across.

What did you do especially well?
~I think that i used despcriptive writing well. I wrote it so that the reader could picture the setting and feel what i was feeling. I also think that i did my intro and conclusion well by starting at the end and then leaving my grade for the paper till the conclusion making the reader wanting to keep reading.

What could still be improved?
~i'm sure that there is alot that could be improved. I think my punctuation, like commas usage, could use improving.

How did you go about coming up with the ideas and generating text?
~To come up with ideas i just thought about the papers i had to write in the past that i thought was challenging and then i just wrote.

How did you go about drafting your narrative?
~I wanted to do something different so i put the conclusion in the introduction by discussing when i was getting the paper back. Then i wrote the body starting when we got the assignment and the troubles i had with writing the paper. Then in the conclusion i went back to when we were getting the paper back and the grade i got.

How did others' responses influence your writing?
~ I took those responses into careful consideration and use most of their opinions because if they thought a scentence didnt make sense or that i should discuss something a little more i fugured other people would think the same thing.

What would you do differently next time
~Next time i might plan and be a little more organized instead of just jumping into it and just start writing.

My dash

My dash would defintely be my family and friends. They are the ones who make me who I am. I dont know where i would be without any of them. They are defintiely the most important thing in my life. Your friends and family are the ones supporting you in anything that you choose to whether good or bad. They are the people who stick by you through all the smiles and tears. They pretty much shape who you are as a person. I know that i would not be the person i am today if it werent for my friends and family that i have in my life. i love them to death!

I talk to dead people....

I think that the book A Gracious Plenty by Sheri Reynolds is going to be a very interesting book. Most of society finds someone talking to dead people probably rather unusual but i think that having the main character have that trait will make the book even more interesting. I know that there are many movies and books out there that use this kind of unusual trait to lure in audiences so im excited to see this authors approach. This seems like it's going to be a good book and i can't wait to get started.
