Summer Reading is a Joke


Its really ridiculous, honestly. Do they really expect us to do it? My English class asked us to write a double entry journal for the book Milkweed by Jerry Spinelli. I liked it was really good. It's about a boy surviving the Holocaust. It's sad but good.
But them asking us to do that stupid double entry journal... ugh...
So here I am one week left of summer and I haven't even started, and I got to reread Milkweed and dissect it till there's nothing left.


UGH!

Oh well. Better get started. Sorry about the suck-y post. I just had to vent, I was getting really worked up about it.
Also i have another blog called Rock Bottom, look at my profile and check it out. its nothing special but check it out any way and leave me a comment.
Ok, I got another tip for you guys... watch your tenses. When your typing really fast sometime you slip up (I'm guilty of doing that myself, that's why its important to re-read your stuff). I normally write in past tense when I'm writing in first person, I think past tense works better for first person.
At the moment I'm writing Dodger, the Pirate, and the Fire Queen in third person and in past tense. Past tense is probably the most common type of tense used in stories.
I have the main title song for Dodger's story, More Than it Seems by Kutless, it's it's absolutely perfect and I'm pulling together the soundtrack. It has five songs that I got from the Bridge to Terabithia and the Chronicles of Narnia soundtrack. I'll post what I have of the first chapter to Dodger, the Pirate, and the Fire Queen soon, I promise.
