2nd blog for the week man. yeah buddy.

Ahh I'm so glad there's a 3 dizzzay wizzzzeeekend ! This week went by kinda slow though. Dive started this week, but I couldn't go monday because I had to work. But i've had morning practice this tuesday and this thursday (today) and its been rough. I've been so ferrrrreakin tired after wards but it's all good. And I started the workout video/program INSANITY and it is thee hardest workout I have ever or probably will ever do. I've been sore the last 3 days and walking up the school stairs is killing me. I haven't had that much time to read this week but I pushed through the min 100 pages. I'm still workin on Breaking Dawn, the fourth famous book out of the Twilight series written by stephanie meyers. I LOVE IT. And once again, I cannot wait for the movie to come out Nov. 18th. Yipppieeee ! Well toodles for now, have fun this weeekend everyone ! oh yeah...
HAPPPY HALLOWEEEENY !

Breaking wind .. HAHA

So Bella's a vampire. And she just got the car she gets to drive now. It's a freaking red Ferrari. What the heck ! Umm why don't I get a Ferrari ? I turned into a vampire because of my new found vampire husband.. Ok, not really but still.. I WANT A DANG FERRARI ! Alice just left because of the vision she had of the Volturi coming to fight over Renesme and Bella has to figure out a way to stop them. With her mind. Dun. Dun. Dun. I wish we had a special powers. All people would have a different one too, no one with the same power would exist. But I think we would definitely run out of powers for everyone. I think that if I had a choice to have a power it would be that I could fly. Or shape shift. I wouldn't want to become invisible though because I just think that it wouldn't be fun. Well, i guess you could scare people and that would be funny, but I wouldn't wanna evesdrop because if someone was talking about me, it would make me sad. Haha. I think flying would be the best. Yepp, that'd be the way to go.

Close Reading B I N G O .

Four blogs that I came across that were following the weakness chart were ...

1. "While describing his 'touchy as hell', he empathizes how emotional his parents can be. Mentioning his childhood as a 'lousy childhood.'” - Outspoken Silence
These sentences just don't make any sense.

2. "Overall, Baker wrote a very descriptive paragraph, but lacked colorful and exciting diction." - Running in Circles.
This person wrote in past tense !

3. "His diction affects the reader as a young boy who doesn't have a story to tell, and is boring and dull." - Amanda.
Amanda addresses the reader. NO NO NO.

4. "In Nicholson Baker's work The Mezzanine, he uses elegant and intricate diction to create a formal tone." - CLAY ball.
In the very first sentence, they say the word use.

I think the most well written responses come from the blog Lori.
I especially liked the sentence ... (even though it might be a run-on)
"The highly descriptive and scholarly diction, the almost philosophical and appreciative tone inserted into Nicholson Baker's connotation, and the harmonious flow ringing throughout the first page of his novel, instill dreamy, practically romantic admiration for the mezzanine Baker speaks of, as this first page is read."

Practice Diction Analysis

The low, vulgar diction and the straight-forward, denotative attitude of the narrator of “Catcher in the Rye” fosters the callous representation that the protagonist holds towards the world. The narrator is consistent with his undesired involvement between the audience and his personal life, as he makes well known that he doesn’t “feel like going into it.” His home-life and personal-life were just not mixing well so the narrator decided to leave the less gracious one behind. Using crude words such as “hell” and “damn” demonstrates his real personality as a teen and addresses the hardhearted thoughts of his mind. The nonchalant, indifferent persona that the author adapts to is demonstrated throughout the entire book, especially the first page.

Distracted. MAJOR

so I'm still currently reading breaking dawn by stephanie meyers and I can't help but let my mind wander to next months debut.. I cannot wait for the first part of the last movie to come out ! November 18th. That's less than a month. Too bad my dad won't let me go to the midnight premiere >:( i'm so mad. I've never been to a midnight premiere and I thought that this year he would let me because i'm almost 18 and a senior and highschool but NO. I don't know why he won't.. but whatever. I'm totalllly over it hahaha. Well I did go see the movie Paranormal Activity this weekend and let me tell you.. it was CRAZY. I jumped soo many times! I usually never scream and I actually let out a scream during this one. It was soo scary but it was so freaking good. I saw a preview for a movie called The Devil Inside and I really wanna go see that. It made my friend cry she got so scared ahah and just from the preview.. It was funny. Well there's my second blog for this week. Yay

Currently 10/21/11

This week I have read 101 pages in my book Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyers. This means I have read a total of 1016 pages this semester.

My three favorite posts and sentences from the Style Mapping are...

1. Contrasting the opening of The Guns of August , Tuchman portrays a sophisticated view of regality that harmoniously prescribes a session of kings.
This sentence is from the blog of The Lost Message of Words. I really liked this sentence because it is contrasting another writing and it uses sophisticate diction but i've never heard the word regality.
2. Up Your Score on the other hand, speaks with a mixture of intricate words and slang pop-culture references that are very punctuated, straightforward at times, but somewhat suggestive, and often light.
This sentence is from the blog of Comtemplations. I liked this sentence because of the diction and way that it is said and described.
3. The book Catcher in the Rye provides a excessivly low connotation with an evident harshness.
This sentence comes from That One Guy's Blog. I really liked this one because I enjoyed the book Catcher in the Rye and I agree with the statement made.

There ya have it.

Snapping Morning.

I tried to make breaking dawn something different so I came up with snapping morning. Ha look how clever I am ! Not. But ok so I just read in Stephanie Meyers's book that Jacob has a secret that he is afraid to tell Bella. But he's finally and suddenly actually okay with her being with Edward ? RANDOM. He loves playing with Renesmee though. He says he really connects with her ... whooops. Spoiler alert. The reason he connects with Renesmee so much is because he has IMPRINTED on her ! Shocker. When a werewolf imprints on someone, they have to be with them for the rest of their life in some way. They don't have a choice. It has to happen, it's destiny, it can't be changed. Bella is so mad. Her little girl is going to be attached somehow to Jacob for the rest of her half-vampire life. Jacobs happy about it, because it will allow him to keep close with Bella too, just not on a romantic level. He's totally okay with that now though because he has little baby Renesmee <3
