Blog #10: Choose 1 character & write a week of journal entries in the voice & style of that character. Begin with what you know, but also add some of what you don't know but could be true (ex: what Laura does and thinks when she goes on her walks)


Laura's Week and What she thinks and does.

Sunday:
-  I like to go to the parks because it is nature and I love being in nature.  I love when I can sit by myself and be alone.  As of right now I like to be an independent women.
-  I like to go to the park because as of right now, my mother does not know that I have not attended my Business School classes
-  Not only that but anything to get out of the house.  
-  I hate being around my mother especially when my brother Tom is not there.  The family does not feel complete when Tom is gone.  I feel that if Tom can have an excuse and do whatever he wants I think thats what I should do too.  

Monday:
-  I am also not confident with myself.
-  Tom and Amanda always get into fights about Tom leaving the house and makes me feel uncomfortable.
-  As Tom was walking out of the door he nearly knocked over my glass Menageries.  These precious glass objects of mine mean a lot to me.  I don't know how I would react if one broke.  Tom may not realize how much they mean to me.
-  I am starting not to like Tom's excuses and how he can get out whenever he wants and just say he's going to smoke a cigarette outside.

Tuesday:
-  Tom always says he is going to the movies.  I know for a fact that this is a lie.  How dare he lie to his own mother.  I don't know whats been up with him lately but he just needs to accept the fact that we just want him to be safe.  Not only mother but me too worry for Tom and his activities whether that's getting drunk or smoking. 

Wednesday:
-  Mother has just asked Tom to find me a gentlemen caller.  She told him this because if he is leaving us we are going to have to find someone for me. 
-  Also, now that mother know's that I have not been attending my classes the only way is for me to find a husband who is somewhat rich.  
-  Like I said I am not confident with myself.  Getting married to a rich guy does sound pretty nice though.

Thursday:
-  So I found out the gentlemen's caller name was named Jim O'Connor
-  This is the same exact guy that I had a crush on in high school, what a coincidence!
-  He always used to call me Blue Roses because of my legs.  This is called Pleurosis when one leg is shorter than the other. 
-  Anyways so I guess Jim is coming over tonight.  Tom is bringing Jim over for me to meet him.  I guess Jim does not know that he is here for basically a "date."
- I then saw Jim at the door and he looked great just like the good ol' days.
- Amanda was trying so hard for Jim to give me a chance 
- Jim came over and we talked for a bit.  All of a sudden we stand up and start dancing.  As we are dancing he hits the table and my glass unicorn falls down and splits.  I was not sad about this at all since I am with Jim.  Jim kisses me on the lips which just made me happy.  Not only that but this was my first kiss and was already in love.  Unfortunately he was already married to an Irish girl.  Even though he was married I gave him the glass unicorn for him to remember me. 

Friday:
-  I still have no gentlemen that wants to marry me unfortunately.  Not only that but Tom has finally left to be on his own.  My mother is pissed at Tom not only because he left but also Jim and his wife. I really wish I went with Tom but I know my mother needs the comfort. 

Saturday:
-  Jim has really made me a more confident person.  I really wish he could have changed me and my lifestyle.  Not only that but my Mother is running low on money.  Hopefully, she can save the day before we are living on the streets.

Self Evalution

I thought my performance and write up about my performance was alright.  I think like Cassidy washing to not right so much "fluff."  I really just wrote all this fluff to fill up word space and really want the IB people who are grading my essay to know what I did to be here today.  I also think I should try and talk less about every single thing I did to prepare myself for the act.  I want to add more about the performance and not as much about the literary analysis.  In my write up I wrote a lot about the literary analysis instead of the performance.  I feel that I do need some fluff or else there will be a bit of confusion about whats going on.  I should edit more of the literary analysis though and compare more Tom's emotion in the play to my performance.  I could also probably talk a little bit about Grace and I working together to fill up some space.  My biggest issue is the words and getting to 2000 words.  I feel it will be hard t...

Oral Presentation Practice:

#1.)  When I read the chapters, “The Wall of Fire Rising” and “Night Women” in the book Krik Krak by Edwinge Danticat, these two stories seemed to be the most eye catching to me.  When I say eye catching, they seemed different that all the other stories because most of these stories talked about the Hatian Culture and how everyone was fleeing the country because of the Macouts.  The Government was in full control of the Haitian people.  I thought these two chapters had a connection because they both have a mother and son but no father.  I thought this would make a good piece in our created performance cause we could see what both sides looked like in both stories.  In both chapters, Little Guy and Night Womens son were going through a tough time because Little Guy just lost his father and Night womens a prostetute.  After all, it seemed like the performance worked out by putting Lily as Night Women and Little Guy as Night Women's son.  It was a ve...
