sentences of the week!

1.) "She herself resembled a gnome, with her small features and halo of white curls, like something made to put on a shelf." (Lock and Key)
-This sentence is the main character, Ruby, describing her new land lord for her house. I chose this sentence as my favorite because it compares her to a gnome and i like gnomes.

2.) "Unlike perkins day, the elite private school was known for its lacrosse team, stellar SAT scores, and the fact that the student parking lot feautred more luxury automobiles than a European car dealership."
-This sentence is Ruby talking about her new school she is going to attend, and she is not too excited about it.

3.) "The man blinked."
- It is an easy, simple, and self explanatory sentence!

~Okay, so it is a new week meaning new sentences! This sentence is from the new book i started reading called, "before I die"

1.) "I wish i had a boyfriend."
 -This sentence pretty much sums up what goes on in a single teenage girl's mind all the time. After i read this sentence it immediately grabbed my attention, and i cant wait to get further into the book.

2.) "looking at him cry is like being pulled from a mountain."
- This is tessa looking into adams eyes and describing the way she feels while she is looking into them. I think the description is so vivid and really portrays a deep feeling because looking into the eyes of someone of interest can give you that sort of feeling!

3.)"People pretend not to look at me, but i can feel their gaze."
- when she goes places she feels like she stands out because she has no hair so people can automatically figure out that she has cancer. She can sense the people trying not to look but also glancing at her and making a judgement about her in their mind when they see her.

week 6:

1.)"Even when i was a little kid, i recognized the signs-the butterflies that crisped up in jam jars, cal's rabbit eating its own babies."
  - This sentence is her talking about how tessa knew about the cancer since she was a little girl. It is just different and I liked the way she described the signs.

2.)"Theres a dead bird on the lawn, its legs thin as cocktail sticks"
 -This sentence is just random and straight forward stating an observation, and i like the fact that the legs were compared to cocktail sticks.

3.)"I give myself three points for the food colouring creeping along the child's veins."
 -Tessa is playing the so-called dying game, and she saw this boy at a resteraunt and apparently gave herself points, im not sre why but i liked the sentence anyway because of its strangeness!

What I am currently reading!

So, i will just be completly honest reading is not on my top ten favorite things to do, but i am working on it and hopefully all this reading we are required to do will help me appreciate reading more. As of right now i am reading a book called Lock and Key by sarah dessen. I am not that far into it but so far the main character is pretty much a typical teenage girl, confused, and just trying to figure life out. Once i get further into the book it might be easier to tell what i think about it knowing im only on page 10.
I got further into it and im still a little confused on what is going on, but the girl named ruby is sorta of like a rebellious teenager trying to release herself from being under a roof with rules.As of now she lives with her sister and brother in law (sister's husband) in a nice house, which is an upgrade from her apartment that was once called home with her mother. Also,She is going to have to attend a new school which she is not looking forward to at all. Ruby is a great example of a teen in denial of change, meaning simply that she doesnt like the change that she is having to go through.
     Alright, so there has been a book switch. The lock and key book wasnt really intriguing me so i found another book called "Before I Die" and i havnt started reading it yet, but i cant wait until i do!

F-R-I-D-A-Y!!!

So two weeks ago we we told to take a personality test. Who doesnt want to know what kind of personality they have? It is pretty interesting especially knowing that not all of us know who we are. When you are a teenager it is pretty hard to find yourself or even know who you are as an individual. I started to take the test but ran out of time, so i never got my results but knowing who you are is very important at this time and age because what you do and the decisions you make reflect who you are as a person!
