annat02’s Blog

Sunday afternoon I walked into my bedroom to find that I had a missed call from Miranda on my cellphone. I quickly called her back, and she picked up on the first ring.
our conversation went like this:

“Hello?” She said.
“Hey, did you call?” I replied.
“Yes I did, I was wondering if you would burn me the new Jonas Brothers Cd, and i could stop and pick it up this afternoon on the way too Jacobs?”
“Okay sure, but I’m not sure if we have any blank cds left. You could drop one off and pick up the newly burnt cd on your way home?”
“That’s a great idea. I’ll be there in about twenty minutes.” Miranda said.
“Alright see you soon!” I exclaimed.
“Bye.”

Later that afternoon, Miranda arrived at my house, only to deliver the sad news that they were out of cds as well.
She didn’t get her cd.
THE END.

I listened to a podcast about the book Hatchet. I read this book in middle school, as required reading, and then forgot about it. This podcast was really intriguing, and made me want to go reread it. It used elements like background music, different voices, acting, and just summarizing the book.  Even though my vague memory of the book was that it was boring, this made me question that opinion.  My favorite part was when they were reading from the book.  It felt like you were in it, and that made it much more interesting.

• What is a blog?   A place where you can share your writing on the internet.
• Where have you ever heard of blogs?     Blogs are everywhere, all over the internet, myspace, and are really accessible.
• How comfortable are you with computers?   I’m pretty comfortable with computers, and I’ve gotten used to this blog and know how to work it now.
• What kinds of things do you do with computers typically?  Usually just type essays, or check my myspace and email.
• What is your opinion of writing?   I love to write.
• What kind of writing do you like to do?  I usually write fictional, or poetry.
• Why are parents, teachers, and others so concerned about teens’ safety when they’re using the Internet?   I think they’re so concerned because people can get on and say that they’re one person, and really be somebody else.
• Is the Internet dangerous?   If you don’t know how to use it, then it can be, but not so that it shouldn’t be used on a regular basis.  If you keep your personal information to  your self and don’t talk to random people, you’re good.
• What do your peers generally do with computers and the Internet?  Homework, email, and myspace.
• What do you think/how do you feel about the year ahead, knowing that you will be using a blog a lot in Lit 10 Honors?   I think it is a good change from the regular just writing paragraphs and same thing in lit we have done every year.
