Thinking of Dialogue

1.Talk about the process of eavesdropping:

i. We walked all around the hallways following different groups of people. Stayed inside the school.

ii.Not very long because it was hard to understand the conversations and people walked fast

iii. Two girls-most likely friends 

iv.we felt very out of place while eavesdropping on these girls 

2. What insight did you gain about the way people think?

-Some people talked very quietly or stopped talking when we approached them and some people talked very loud and didn't even notice

3. How can you apply this to your writing?

-We could make our characters have conversations about everyday things like what we heard.

4. How is personality and character revealed through conversation and dialogue?

-by the tone they use

-by the volume of their voice 

-by their language 

5. What happens when more than 2 people participate in a conversation?

-It gets harder to keep up with and there are more opinions. 

6. What was the most surprising thing you've learned about the way people converse?

-we were surprised at how loud people were talking and how they didn't seem to care about the surroundings 

7. What's the differences and similarities between written and spoken conversation?

-In written conversation you can't tell the tone of voice so you don't really know how they feel about what they're saying unlike in spoken conversation. 

-I'm spoken conversations you can easily change the subject and can get distracted.

-Both conversations in spoken and written form can be about very random topics

-I've never seen this before , it sucks , you've seen the lines? your saying its over . you rattled ? 

-oh yeah yeah yeah no way ! it was scary he's like listening and he lets me take his . it's good but he doesn't like when I bump him and don't go on the ground , but it's better that way I have a full hour and ten minutes to socialize and then we come back an half half an hour then have time to do whatever that's all we need , croutons and soup 

-I was really nervous and drank half of it

how many were the skates ?! 200 something holy! wtf

Quick Write Rewind or Pause?

If I had to choose between a rewind or pause button I would choose the rewind button because I would definitely love to replay moments in my life whether them being exciting times or even the worst of times. I would re live all my favorite moments so I could experience them again. I would depending on the situation replay the moments I have regretted so I could fix them. Some of my worse moments wouldn't interest me to replay and fix because I wouldn't want to re live them, there over and done with. I think I would lear from my mistakes the first time and be able to fix it or try something new.

Text Connections #1

Text to Self

Charlie and his sister barely hang out and don’t have the best relationship. This reminds of my younger sister and our relationship when I was younger. We fought and had our differences but we would still always be there for one another. Now that were older my sister and I have a different relationship. We talk to each other about more stuff and buy each other things or help one another out. We hang out more and go out together. The only difference is Charlie is a sophomore like my sister and Charlie’s sister is graduating like I am which shows how my sister and I learned our differences and got along quicker then Charlie and his sister.

Text to World

In the novel Charlie walked in seeing Brad and Patrick kissing and after they noticed Charlie saw them Patrick approached Charlie and told him not to tell anyone. This is an issue around the world, having people hide there sexuality. A big part to this I believe is how judgmental people are. People are always caring to much what other think and not focusing on themselves. This is exactly what Brad is doing in the book. He is the popular guy and doesn’t want anyone knowing so it doesn’t get around. 

Christmas

Christmas is something that you will most likely be a big part of. Christmas happens once a year on the same day every year. It's a time of year were people listen to Christmas music which usually are similar songs that different people sing. Homes inside and out are decorated and the city has many lights and decorations up. Decorations are usually Christmas colors; red, green, white, blue, silver and gold. Everyone puts up a christmas tree in there house which is what you will take part in. Some choose to buy a fake tree from stores and some choose to buy a real one which is what you will be one day. After the Christmas season is over you will most likely be thrown out but don't worry think back to the wonderful Christmas season you had with the family that you got to watch, whcih you took part in.. People start to celebrate Christmas mid November - beginning of December so you have plenty of time to be that great smelling tree.

Minions For A Week

If I had a set of minions for a week I would have all my little cousins over and family friends kids to play with the minions and hopefully I could really make there dreams come true by having them meet the minions from a movie they have probably all seen. I would have them come along with me shopping, driving to work and doing errands etc. because I always prefer to have company with me. I would get them to help me with my chores and homework so I would have more time to focus on stuff I'd rather me doing like dance and other activities. I would treat them for all their hard work by taking them to sky zone because I think it would be funny to watch them jump around there.

I have taken art the last 3 years in high school. We've done many projects and I always wasn't too interested in the projects but 2 years ago we did a project which we had to research an artist and take one of their paintings and re create it. I got the chance to look through many artists and what kind of work they do. I finally found Edgar Degas which I decided was my favorite because of the main idea he likes to paint, dancers. I enjoyed all his paintings and media he used. Here are some of my favorite paintings by degas.
