Prompt: Are the characters realistic (do they seem like they could be read people)? Why
or why not?
I think that LaNelle acts like every one else. She is like a regular teen girl. She has her doubts and crushes. Also, she "gossips" and knits stuff with other people. LaNelle made a tragic mistaker according to Anne though. Like most girls LaNelle can get attached to things, like her baby. So, when it was born it died. She was devastated because she wanted to keep it. But she still visits it's grave sometimes.
Anne reminds me of a lot of girls. Shy and timid, but can be a blast if you get to know her. She doesn't want to make new friends and is per say, "antisocial." But, Anne cracks jokes every once and a while and talks to herself a lot. Even though during doing dishes Anne does talk to her roommate Cheryl once in a while.
Donna is almost ready to have her baby. She wants her boyfriend, "Dick," to marry her and to keep the baby. But when Donna receives a letter saying Dick's moved on from one of her friends, she bursts into tears. Then shortly after, has her kid. It's kind of sad and probably would happen in real life. All three of these people could be real.
I find this very interesting for some reason probably because it could actually happen, maybe it has happened already. They seem way too young to be having babies and well it's going to affect their life in a big way. Do you like what you read so far in the book?
ReplyDeleteI like how you got straight to the point, however I had no idea were you were in the book or who these characters were. Very good job!
ReplyDeleteCarlos,
ReplyDeleteGreat job with your blog this week, this book sounds extremely interesting! I really like how you described how the characters are realistic, and they do sound realistic. Anne and LaNelle seem like two different girls, with two different personalities, and I think that those are the two main types of girls in this world, shy and timid though is still a fun person, and someone whole gets crushes, and likes to be in on all of the gossip. Overall, great blog this week, but think about writing more! Your blogs are really good, and I think that they would be even more amazing if you wrote a tiny bit more!
