Currently *10_21
Finishing "Hate List", which was 408 pages, i severley enjoyed it! it was made my very angry at times, Valrie, the main character, dosnt act the the situations the way i would. plus she has a horribley cheating, anger stricken father that she dosnt really do anything about... its hard to explain without giving away the book but i had to put the book down for a bit after reading that chapter. in the end, i guess it was a happy ending but how happy can an ending be about telling the life story of a girl whos boyfriend opened fire on the school killing 6 people, including himself.
but NOW, im reading the perfect novel for octorber,, "Pet Cemetery" by Stephen King, i am a fan of his work and iv heard that the movie was pretty disturbing and i wanted to give it a try and so far, only 18 pages into it, its a totally normal and happy story about a man and his family moving from the city of Chicago to a small town in Maine. and im looking forward to getting to the good part of this book (: im a sucker for anything scary.
alot of the students didnt do style mapping the same. they were akk diffrent.. so idk how to even understand what they were writing about or saying.........

Style Mapping
Googled: The End of the World as We Know It -- Ken Auletta
On the high end of the Y axis, Ken is bluntly stating his surroundings at his college campus. He seems to be in a nervous state of mind with many thoughts coarsing through his mind, always worrying about his competetors and his jobs work which has basically become his life. "Short and pugnacious, Karmazin was by his own admission 'always paranoid' about competitors."
On the denotative end of the X axis, he simply states the simple facts. theres students sitting with thier laptops wearing baggy tshirts. he himself is wearing a suit a tie that gray hait cut quite short. "With his suit and tie and closley cropped gray hair, Mel Karmazin stood out as he crossed the Google campus in Mountain View, California, passing people in baggy T-shorts holding thier laptops before them..."
On the Z axis, the exerpt seems to fall in the middle. the tone is niether musical and sweet nor is it thretening and noisey. if it had to be calssified as harsh or musical, id choose harsh. the thoughts of his that he tells are negative and uneasy, leaning me towards the harsh side of the chart.
"The Girls Guide to Hunting and Fishing" -- Melissa Bank
On the high end of the Y axis, the narrator desribes her briothers loving and serious realtionship with his girlfriend. She gives off a sence of liking this woman and respects the love her brotehr has for her. she does seem a bit skeptical but descibes her with possitive and beautiful features. "She had dark eyes, high cheek bones, and beautiful skin, pale, with high coloring in her cheeks like a chikd with fever."
On the connotative end of the X axis, the exerpt is suggestive that the narrator and her mother are skeptical of Henrys girlfriend. With the desriptive words, it can be seen as poetic. "I thought maybe she'd look older than Henrey, but it was Henry looked older than Henry"
On the musical end of the Z axis, again, with her diction and thoughtful feelings put into this exerpt.

Quartley $0.25
i haven't read as much as i thought i would have this semester. i didn't think i was gonna have a problem reading because enough for ety. because 1. i love it and 2. I'm only taking two classes and a comp class at St Francis, so i thought ill have hours to read on those raining nights or those sunny days. but my senior year is full of allot of others things that don't even involve homework. college apps and scholarships, senior pictures,dealing with my parents ranting about my new found adulthood... and i sadly haven't read much. the beginning of the year i was reading the SWEEP series which kept me focused on reading for a while. but then school really started,things picked up, i got lost. the whole time i WAS looking for something that would keep my interest and keep me wanting more, but it didn't happen until about a week ago.
i always read before bed, even if i haven't crawled into the sheet until midnight, ill stay up till 1 reading, or until i just cant keep my eyes open any long. sometimes i have trouble getting comfortable when reading. especially when its a thick book and the owner of this novel doesn't want any sorta of crease in the binding,.. that can get complicated. but i still read. ill usually look ahead and gauge where ill be stopping bu ti almost always read one more chapter than intended. i really do looove reading, but only if its a book that keeps my interested. i probably tried 4 different books until i got to this recent one that keeps my attention. i want a book that's a story.. i guess that's called a novel.
but I'm glad i have found a book and I'm loving it so far, but the bad news is.. it doesn't have a sequel so when I'm finished with this one, the hunt begins again......

negligent.. careless.. remiss... SLACK
so "The Dart League King" isnt working. but thats not the only things thats not working is.. everything else! i have a horrible senior picture dilema, i dont know who im gonna have do it, let alone if im even going to have them done in the first place! but my mother is fighting with me about getting a new outfit! im not gonna have a photo shoot without thee perfect outfit and we cant just afford to go buy a whole new outfit APPARENTLY. plus i want my pictures taken withthe tress of the fall. but theres gonna be a storm this friday that will knock all the leaves off all the trees! so i have like 3 days to get clothes, my hair done, and set up a time to get my senior pictures; PLUS tommorrow is like a career day for seniors and you suppossed to either job shadow or do a college vist and i dont need a college vist, just not needed. and i found out a week ago that the zoo needs 6 weeks notice to accept me! well thats probably not gonna happen cause i sent in my request form like friday! :((( and i am NOT gonna sit ina study hall for 4 hours doing nothingg! so i have to somehow find something to do in like 18 hours!
BUT ABOUT MY READING LIFE: i have decided to borrow this book from Rachel that looks realll good and i mexcited to read a book im almost possitive ill actuall ylike. "The Dart League King" is just so random and full of vulgar content, but that isnt really why i stopped reading it. one night i layed down to read and i found myself reading the same few pages over and over again.. thats a bad sign. but im so busy i havent had to time to really start that other book called "Hate List".
