Reading Response


     This is going to be a harder post because i have just started the book. It's called Blue Bloods. The base of the book, and the whole series is about vampires. I'm only 30 pages into it. The plot so far is about a girl named Schuyler Van Allen. From what I understand from the book, she is goth, and doesn't fit in. She is now working on tiring to fit in.
     I have not really detected a plot pattern, but because of this blog subject, I will keep an eye out. It is a great read, so far. I know this was more of a plot summery blog. There has been only a small amount of rising action, and that was when she saw a boy, named Jack Force, gets hit by a car. Or so she things. I only know that he probably was because "vampires" can heal themselves.

my puncy pooch

Over the past year my dog has gone bonkers. She just is nuts. You can try and change her, or train her, but she will still be insane. She jumps and barks and gets dirty then gets it on everybody. She cant be tamed.

This past weeked, Ginger (my dog) was inside, and we were making granola. She wanted some so she jumped on the table and started eating it. Then she got sick, because there was chocolate in it. We had to take care of her, but she was bouncing everywhere so it was hard. I think she just ran all of her chocolate off.

Literacy narrative

I have spent so much time and dedication, I barely even have time for reading and other assignments. It is about a time when I was in 6th grade. I wrote a beautiful literacy narrative about when I wrote a letter to my favorite author.

I wrote all of my sentences backwards throughout the letter. It hit me hard when I got a C and I thought i was going to get a better grade. I was confused because I thought I was a good writer. My world crumbled when I found out, but i fixed it in the rest of the year. Its like five pages and around 1,600 words.

Free Read

I read a total of exactly 150 minutes this week, and they were all from Perfect witch is the third book in the Pretty Little Liars series. The books are just as good as they have been in past book, but they are starting to get a little boring. I watch the show, and I like the books, but i have a very short attention-spanned so I can't stay on one thing to long. The book still has suspense and mystery, witch I love. But the book is also starting to get a little dry and repetitive.
      I'm now looking for suggestions from other peres. So if you know of a good book that you really enjoy, I would love to hear about it. In the novel so far, the main characters have been dealing with the loss from suicide. They also deal with the leaking of video footage, and threats from A, a mysterious person who has been black-mailing them. The story line is great and I still suggest it to anyone who needs a "can't put down" read.

10 min.- 6 pages
10 min.- 8 pages
60 min- 27 pages
60 min- 21 pages (with distractions)

Literacy Narrative

     I have already started my  Literacy Narrative and I am almost done with it. It's about when I was in sixth grade. I don't want to give to much away, but it is pretty good in my opinion. In sixth grade we wrote a letter to our favorite authors, and my sort of fell down hill. It was a pretty bumpy, writing changing, road for me. I really hope that I don't write like I use too, and from after sixth grade English I believe that my writing has improved tremendously.

     The start of it explains how i wrote before the assignment. It leads into my excitement, and disappointments created by the letter. I end-up with a crazy twist at the end, and I really hope its not boring. I have been working very hard on it, just like my letter. Looking back on what i wrote, it was a very crazy and confusing paper.

Weekly reading

                  I decided over this past week i would split my reading among two different books. The first one was the thrid in the seris of pretty little lliar books Perfect by Sara Shepard. It is the same amaingness as the past two books all the suspence, drama, and aditude that they have always had. They are also dealling with the lost of a dear friend toby. I read a little bit more then an hour in that, and it was almost inpossoble for me to put it down.

            The second book was Listening is an Act of Love, I did not read the whole book just the short stories that Isabella talked about and some one the stories that sounded good to me. I read about and hour and a half of that. The sories were very warm and emotional. They really helped me think about kindness, love, compation, and helping those around me. The stuggles that people go through in the book makes me feel greatful that it has not happened to me. If it has then I can look back on how I delt with it and how they delt with it. This book is really helpful to people who are going through a hard time, and it is a really great book.

Back to the Comments

           On me in defence of ........................ Alex and Christine commented. Christine asked if rip-sticking was anything like Skate boarding. I know this sounds crazy, but so many people ask me that or say they're the same. WRONG WRONG WRONG. Sorry, but I personally think rip sticking is easier. You have more range for your feet, but you do have to shift your weight. Skate boards can be harder because u have to push your foot on the ground and shift weight like that and is is more unbalanced. It really just depends on the person and what basic skills they are bad and good at.
             
          Alex's comment was talking about tricks and stuff, and I personally believe that more people need to watch skateboarding in the X-games. Watching the athletes do mctwist (540 degree turn) is amazing its just the most amazing thing you can watch. Along with all of the other tricks and flips it is seriously the most entertaining thing.

Hurricane lock-up

     Over the hurricane starting tuesday i did not leave the house at all. I sat there tuesday and watched t.v., Wednesday I read, thursday I read and walked my dog ginger for about an hour. It was probably the most boring thing i had ever done. We did not loose power until about 1 p.m. thursday so I finally escaped to my grandmothers around 6:00 p.m.
       The next morning I went to my aunts house and played with my cousins, Mary Caroline (the oldest one in seventh grade) had two friends over and the younger had her other cousins over. Then their neighbor came over and we sprinted around their house and played tag an hide and seek and laughed. It was crazy. I finally broke my house chains and escaped my simple home to bigger and better family adventures, besides Isaac's wrath.

Free read

       I honestly have absolutely no clue how much i read over the hurricane. I know that it was more he 5 hours. i finished the pretty little liars book i was reading i had about 150 pages of that left and spent around 1.5 to 2 hours finishing that up. It was amazing honestly the best book i have ever read, but the book standards are pretty low for me. All the suspense and waiting makes you have to read it more. You just can stop witch is the type of book I need.
        Then being prepared (as I usually  are not) I moved on to the second book witch was even better. More drama, more tragedy, just more more more. I spent so many hours reading such an exhilarating novel i almost didn't release that are power went out or the fact that I started reading around 10:00 a.m. and put down my book at 2:00 p.m.-ish. it almost hurt me to stop reading. I went by the library today and can not wait to start reading it tonight. Look out world here comes Emory and she READING!!!
