Speak Mel and Teens Today

I can honestly tell you mel and us teens have real connections. In the book Mel struggles to find A clique or a social group to "hang out with." she goes through many plots and plans to find friends. Just for a single mistake she made over the summer Mel finds herself struggleing. Mel and teens today are connected, as i said before mel struggles to find a clique, as teens we also struggle to find our "place" in the community. though some communities have less cliques that still doesnt hide the fact that they are there, and there to stay. Another thing that i feel should be addressed was briefly mentioned in the book. Mel finds herself in an embarrising momment, then after she runs from it hiding the fact that it happened. Well every teen has an embarrising momment, but i feel teens well not just teens everyone shouldt run from it. Unless you want to be a push over because thats what people would think about you. "embrace it, have a good attitude face your fears. be the best you can be." and all that.

MAYA ANGELOU

Maya is trying to give the reader a better perspective of her writting carrer she explains how she used to wright for just black girls, but eventually started wrighting for everyone.in her interview she describes her writing as deep talk. i think deep talk is giving the reader something so exquisite that it makes the reader focus on those words and give the words a more deeper meaning. One of the challenges Maya faces in her writing includes being aware of her readers and still having a concern for her authors craft. i feel she trys her hardest to give in her personality into her books, regardless of her audience.

How do I Connect With Lily?

To me Lily is a strong, sensitive, strategic girl, and I think those three words could apply for me too. In the book Lily was able to find injustice, so she ran away from her repugnant father T-ray, that proves she is strong, as a handsome, amazing, super stunning 14 year old I too find injustice and do what ever i can to help, either myself or others. Lily is also sensitive an example of her sensitivity is when she and Rosaleen were by the creek, and lily was being very stubborn. So then after a while of deep thought she realized she did wrong and in a way asked for forgiveness from Rosaleen (who she recently broke out of jail). I also called a strategic person, she was taken into August's home with a huge lie, the three sisters don't know about it, but lily's plan was for them never to know and maybe eventually, have them care about her so much she could stay with he month sisters.

A more general part of Lily is her Passion. She is spending the majority of the book so far creeping closer to finding more about her mother, But that's not the only passionate thing she has done, Rosaleen is like her second Mother, and for that reason lily had the strength and passion to free her from the injustice clutches of the ______ police. So many other descriptive words fall under Passion; love, benevolence, commitment, etc. and i feel that I as not only a handsome child, but a friend, an athlete, a Church goer, and boyscout could relate.

Sensory Writing "Touch"

Sitting with my eyes shut i await Diana to grab my hand and stick it in an unknown object. I am anxious yet kind of scared, i feel like a prisoner on death row but not so harsh. I think in my head what is it going to be. I try to use logic to figure out what a teacher would let her students touch. After a couple "ewes" I notice my teacher getting closer (using the force i sensed her). So i shut my eyes tight so she knows I'm not cheating. I hear my table mates whisper with their own "ewes." Soon Diana is next to me, still using the force, and still with my eyes shut, she grabs my arm, she grabs my arm and places it in what seems to be a jar. The jar was smooth and cylinder like, I reached my hand deeper inside the jar. Starting to have a little bit of adrenalin, i place my hand at the bottom of the cylinder.Then i felt it... first i was surprised by the cold temperature of it. After I wiggled my fingers to get a better feel for the substance. Then I used my Jedi thoughts to decipher what the mushy Sticky thing was. After a couple seconds i knew exactly what it was... And from that moment on i knew i was a true Jedi.

Sensory Writing: Taste/Smell

As i sit here with my eyes closed focusing on my smell sense. I take a short sniff of the deformed air, I could smell the rich buttery smell of the deluge pile of popcorn. I try to save the smell inside my thoughts. The smell of the popcorn reminds me of the special fragrance you smell inside a movie theater. The smell so addicting its begging me to open my hand and reach for itself. I open my eyes as the hooking smell of the popcorn crowds the air. I reach for with a steady but swift pace. I study it with my palm like a blind man would, then i set it on my tung and taste its butter immediately. the buttery taste only complemented its salty core. After a couple of seconds the popcorn became mushy and damp. This made the delicious corn become unsatisfying. I could now taste the damp corn with my saliva crowding the majority. The taste so bad i swallowed it whole without chewing. After that i decided to try a different part of the popcorn...the kernel. I stuck it in my mouth and tasted the butter. After two seconds of this my mouth tastes a unpleasing stale taste. I NOW KNOW THE EVIL TO POPCORN.

Sensory Writing "Sight"

Compared to the four Chinese tanks the small man on the bottom left of the picture is a puny infant compared to the size of the tanks. The man is wearing a black bowler hat , accompanied by a white long sleeve shirt, and a pair of black slacks. The man is also carrying his black jacket for that day was probably hot. This man was trying to prove a point no destruction.
The man stand face first in front of the tanks. The tanks symbolize destruction and power though the man seems to be unafraid. The tanks are all around the size of two escalates. They all have cyclopean canons sprouting on the top of the tank. The front three tanks are completely identical with their brown and black camouflage and what seems to be a Chinese flag on their right side. The fourth tank is Brown and green, but around the same as the front three.
The picture is set on a road and from what you can see somewhere in china. The road these tanks are on is Light gray with White and yellow lines indicating the different lanes on the street. At the bottom left of the picture you can also see a series of spherical Lights, but since it is day the lights are off.

The man is trying to prove a point I don't know what it is but I think some how just by standing in front of those tanks he's making a difference.

Sensory Details Hearing

Abstract Sound

Since it was hard to read the source of the sounds, It made my assignment harder to do. it took me a couple tries to explain to myself what exactly I just heard but eventually I came out with an approving thought. My sound was a combination of many different sounds, It was like listening to a very vibrant abstract painting. The sounds this compilation made were completely random. For example the beginning of the sound began with chirping then within seconds it changed its tone to an annoying shriek. Rather then being peaceful and quite this compilation of sounds were very uncomfortable and loud. Every second sounded like an annoying robotic type of noise. The name of my sound was "Phonurgia Nova Awards 2009." The name of the sound was odd and had no meaning to me at all. It was plain out confusing, most parts I heard had the same type of sound but had a different rhythm, just like a distorted turn table. It was tough trying to get all of these sounds down in my head. The clip was around a minute, and every five seconds it would become silent. The silence lasted for around three seconds at a time, then it would inexpediently startle you with another peculiar sound. This was an incredible noise hard to predict, and very awkward. Sadly this sound reminded me of myself, which is kind of an upset.
