Princess in the Spotlight

Prompt:Describe the setting’s time and place. Create a new setting that you think

would be better for the story and describe it.

Pages:26-50

The settings time the story takes place in the past.The story is in a diary format. In a diary, you write about events that previously happened earlier in the day. Mia writes about how she feels at the moment but she only talks about events that happened hours a days ago. 

If I had the option to change the setting's time, I wouldn't do so. I think you are able to view a lot feelings from Mia after she has had time to think about the situation rather than reading about it when it happens. She can't say exactly what she want's to say out loud but she can when she is alone and has cooled off and writes it down.

The place of this story (from what I have read so far) takes place in Mia's school and home. At times it will be on her way home or at the park but she mostly writes in the morning at home. If I had the opportunity to give a new setting to the story, I would change it to the country where she "Mia" is supposed to be a princess. The reason I think this should happen is because I think that if Mia were to right about how she feel about the people of Genova  the book will be a lot more energetic,exciting,and fun. She could talk of the people, are they kind, rude, snotty? The everyday life, do they have T.V,malls,art? 

How I think Mia will look like as an adult princess

Blogging: Then and Now

Main idea- Have i advanced in blogging from when i started in 2013 to now in 2014

     Have I grown in blogging? have I changed in vocabulary. Have I changed in what prompts I use?
     Personally I think I have in ways,stayed the same,and gone down. The three main points I want to address in this post is vocabulary,prompt choice and grammer and misspelling. First off is Vocab. I personally feel that I have gone down in vocabulary. I know words that make good substitues for happy,sad,and mad such as infuriated,  bountiful, and depressed. I know the words but I don't use them. I'm always in a rush to finish a blog if I have something to do right after.   The second main point is prompt choice. I have noticed that I have a thing for repeating prompt choice. The 2 main prompts I really enjoy using because they are pretty easy is 1)Summary or anything close to that) and 2) Draw an interpretation of the passage – may be a picture, symbols, graphic organizer.) The third main point that I want to address in this paragraph is Grammer and spelling errors. I have been told and I have noticed that I may add an extra letter or used a words the wrong way. Such as using though instead thought because they are so similar, or writing hher instead of her because I type really fast.


     Throughout my blogging time, I have had multiple favorite blog post. My 2 favorite blog post were 1)Primrose Everdeen: The Girl in the Shadows. and 2) the spine poetry blog. The reason I love these two blog is because I could be really creative other than talking about a book. In the blog about Primrose, I got to pretend I was her and didn't have to have any guideline. With the spine poetry, it was difficult to find books that fit together but I could speak about something inspirational or something completely funny.

     One big thing that I really want to work on with blogging is not waiting to the last minute and having erros and mistakes. If I would wait until it was due, I would be freaking out about how I am losing sleep,my computer is going to shut down, and that I want to do something fun. If I were to do it on a monday, I could get rid of stress and aggravation.

Grammer erros in "Primrose Everdeen: The Girl in the Shadows

"Princess in the Spotlight" 2/20/14

prompt:List the personality characteristics of the main character (feelings, interests,

behaviors, etc.)

pages-0-26

     I have met 3 main characters so far. One is Mia, the princess in the spotlight. The second is Mia's best friend in the world, Lilly, and Mia's mother who is pregnant.

      So the first character is Mia, the princess. From what i have read so far she is pretty judgmental towards her mother and any other grown up. But she is a teenage so she judges everybody except for her best friend. She is really into the brother of her best friend. Although that she judges her mother, in her pregnancy all she wants to do is help. Mia hates her princess with her Grandmere  Her Grandmere is her fathers mother. She isn't really looking forward to being a princess  She really can't stand her Grandmere.

       Lilly, Mia's  best friends is really smart. She might be annoying but there is something that Mia loves about her. She pretty much enjoys anything that has to do with school. Math,social studies,science, ETC. When put under pressure or given big news,she is a completely different person. She will being to loose breath and talk in a really loud tone. she will scream out anything to get answers. Good or bad.

      Lastly there is Mia's mother. She is a completely zen person and loves the Japanese culture. She loves to wear her kimono unless she is distressed or unrelaxed. In that case, she will wear a bath raob you could find at any Bath and Body Works store.  She enjoys Mia's math teacher to death and will do anything gor her daughter

The A-list

Invitation Only

Dreamland  

The main point of my spine poetry is how girls may seen nice but they might cruel. They will reject you right in your face and make you feel like your nothing. Make you feel like your were worthless. I was also going towards how popularity is huge in schools now a days. If your in the spotlight, you're in control. If your not, you're in dream land.....

Suddenly

Sharply

It's natural

Sometimes I cant believe

You're making me very angry

"CLEAN UP THIS MESS"....

The main point of my poem is that I love snow and I don't want it to go. In my poem, I imagine my Father who really hates the cold cleaning up outside. I never want it to go. It is like a big blanket covering the world. My Father tells me to clean it up after i ask him to keep it until Saturday. Although he is not yell at me to clean up the mess of snow, I imagine it as a yell because I so dearly love snow.

"This is me"

The Children of Willesden Lane

prompt:Draw an interpretation of the passage – may be a picture, symbols, graphic

organizer.

pages read:3-9

There are two reasons why I drew this picture. It symbolizes my main characters, Lisa, passion to learn,play,and hear music. Also it symbolizes Lisa's passion for the piano it self.






          The musical notes represents the passion for playings,hearing,and learning music. Throughout the whole first chapter, she talks about how she feel music is the best thing ever and she always looks forward to her piano classes. I know this by this quote, "She breathed in the aroma of the professer's pipe tobacco . The sights and scents had become a friendly greeting- a signal that the next hour,she could turn away from all else and be part of the music she loved."  The last sentence of this quote proves that she did indeed love music.

           The second reason I drew this picture with a piano was because of the love she had to the piano and piano players. She adored them. I know this by this quote. "The professer's stately piano stood in the middle of the studio. It was richly polished with ornately carved legs." She loves the way piano looks. She describes every detail and pays a lot of attention to it.
