Short Stories
In these past two weeks we have annotated several short stories. Most of them are weird but interesting. Some were incredibly boring though. I have struggled with some words and what the writer meant in some parts because like I said they are weird and some parts don't really make sense the first time. Dr.D talking to us in class and asking which questions we have has really helped me. I would be totally lost if she did not do that and it helps me know about which questions we all have.
The short story we have recently annotated was "A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings". This book was different from what I usually read and was somewhat confusing but I figured it out at the end!I think this short story was quite different from the other ones. I think this because the people were extremly rude and in the other ones they deffinitly were not as rude as them. Also, their were people who turned into spiders and an angel in it. Their were no other short stories so far with creatures like that!

characters mind before going to sleep
Wow I screwed up bad. Will she ever forgive me? I wouldn't.Maybe I could take it all back? nahhh that won't work with her. Maybe I should be mad at her. Yeah, I should she said some mean things and made me cry. I deserve him, not her. Wow this bed is really comfy.. I should probabaly go to sleep I have to go to school and face her tomorrow. Ugh its to hot in here (takes blanket off) never mind now its to cold. (Puts one leg out of blanket) yep this is perfect. Wow that lamp is pretty. Did I do good at dance today? Oh yeah I did. Wait.. did I do my math homework? Oh yeah I did. I need to check my phone(checks phone) well thats a lot of angry messages. Wow I wonder if my two thumbs had a fight who would win. I bet my right thumb.
We'll always have summer
This week I started reading the book We'll always have summer by Jenny Han. My question to this book is What mistakes will the main characters make throughout this book? So far their parents think that they have made the biggest mistake by wanting to get married. In my opinion I don't think its that big of a mistake. They could wait longer because they are only 19 but they have known each other for their whole lives and have dated for 3 years.
This book is a lot better than I expected it to be. I had read the other two books in the series and hated it, but I wanted to finish the series just to figure out what ends up happening.This book is very girly and its not something I would really read but I wanted to push myself to see which books I would like, and I do like it! It has drama and romance that keeps you into it and it also has some funny parts.

e book
I am so excited that we are making an e book! I think it is a great way to bring our literacy narratives together so we can all see them! I have never heard of an e book, but after Dr.D showing us it in class I think it is cool how it looks like an actual book!
In my literacy narrative their is only one person who I would like to change the name of and that would be Mrs. Abadie's. I would like to change it because I called her mean and I don't think she would like to be called that if she read it. I would love to have another proofreading just because its always good to have more people look at your work to make it the best that it could be. I love getting back my corrections because I know they are trying to make my work better.

Insurgent
This week I finally finished Insurgent. I know its weird to say this but it felt good to finish it. Everything finally came together and Tobias and Tris had a happy ending. i was upset though by the way it left off. It was so shocking that it made me want to read the next book right now!Sadly, I'm pretty sure it has not come out yet. so I will have to wait for it.
My question for this book was "how will the characters change in this novel?" My reesponse to that is that they had changed. Tris and Tobias got in several fights, did not trust each other, and went behind each others backs but at the end of the book they finally worked everything out! Tris tested herself in this book and had become almost a different person after her parents died in the attack. She did every daring thing she was offered, she fought, she made several enimies, she was mad a lot, she gave up on life, and even cut off most of her hair. This book was amazing and I would suggest everyone should read it!

dialogue
Millie marches into her living room with only one shoe in her hand.
"Rachel where in my other shoe?" she demands loudly
" I don't know.."
"Did you take it?"
"No of course not!"
"Then why are you in this picture on instagram wearing these shoes?"
"Those are not your shoes . There mine."
"No Rachel they are deffinitly mine I got them a week ago and now ones missing and this one has mud on it. Where is it?"
"I already told you I don't know where you precious shoe went."
"Fine."
Mille pounces at Rachel madly and starts tickling her obnoxiously.
"Stoooopp Millie! I can't breath!"
"Where is it?"
"Fine its upstairs under my bed!" Rachel says out of breath.
Millie goes and gets her shoe.
"Why didn't you tell me where they were? Or why didn't you ask to wear them?"
"I didn't tell you because I wanted it and I took them without asking because you wouldn't have given me them!"
" Ha, of course I wouldn't! Are you ever gonna take my stuff again?"
"Nope."
"Okay bye!"
"bye."
