It's ma diction blog peeps

Y’all git ready for dis…

I was walk’in down the hall when dis guy near tripped me. He was go’in real quick, inna big hurry. He was a big dude, I wouldn’t be surprised if he was a two hundred pound dude. He was like barrelin’ through everbody walkin’ to class. He didn’t go to school here. That’s for sure. He looked around twenty five. Like a big football player or somthin’. I don’t know. But he was in a hurry, that’s for sure. I don’t think I’ll ever know more about that..

Anyway I was on my way to lunch, so I didn’t really care. But my mood was blown when I saw the menu.

           -I would like to take this time ta draw your notice to the lunch menu.

             I would think it wouldn’t be hard but it seems like we have nachos twice a week…. This is not ok. . They suck…

But yeah so there’re nachos for  lunch for like the third time that week. I think I might want to start bringing my own lunch cuz I can’t eat those things. 

Informal diction is really hard. It makes you appreciate Huck Fin and The Catcher in the Rye.

extra credit blog

So …. Extra credit… okay

One thing anyone should know about me is I can’t pick a favorite piece of writing easily. That’s because I don’t exactly like any of my reports, essays, and of course blogs. I’m just really critical of my writing. In any case there was this one assignment in eighth grade…I think…that we did about this poem Edger Allen Poe did where there was a guy with a creepy eye that weirded another guy out enough that he snuck into his room at night. He then killed him, cut him up, and hid him in the floor. We were supposed to write several descriptive paragraphs about his house. Sad right?

                So I liked my paper, that’s why I chose to write about it. Other people did too. My teacher wanted to know if I got my parents help. I didn’t. I felt pretty good about that paper. The funny thing was I didn’t like the poem I thought it was kind of dull. That’s why I spent more than just a half hour on my paper, because I was making it good. But please don’t make me read bad poems and expect me to write a brilliant paper about it…

my outside reading book

Alright……….so I think this is blog post four… I think

            So I’m reading The Catcher in the Rye and I like it. Everyone said it was good; it’s also like one of those classics that everyone has heard of, not unlike To Kill a Mockingbird. Any way I really am enjoying it… I’m going to read ahead in it this weekend and I’m already half way through. I also like all the characters which is rare for me. The settings are beautifully described and the book draws you into it, even when not much is happening.

So at this point I’m thinking about doing my project about the setting of the book. I was just going to do a poster with the city or something on it.  I picked it because the actual setting is a lot more inspired than my project idea. I know like big cities are like and the book reflects them. A lot of the descriptions are of a drab, depressing place, which kind of sets the tone for the rest of the book.

            The book reminds me of the Pendragon series. Both books are about sixteen year olds setting out on their own without any instruction. The main difference is that Caulfield is a lot more mature than “Bobby”. And bobby is determined to prove to you that he is the whiniest little jerk* you have seen.

            Also going back to the “one of those classics that everyone has heard of” thing if you can put “Holden Caulfield” into word and it accepts it as a name, then that just shows how widely known the book is.
