Jillian, this is very funny and I actually laughed out loud while reading it. The funniest line by far is when Amy states, '"you need to stop this, look at your mother for God's sake, is that how you want to end up?"' (Currie 103). The reader probably needs to know a little background about you but if they do this line is absolutely hilarious. Also, you made this blog flow really well even without including any extra words other than what was directly quoted. I hope the fear and paranoia does not parallel your true feelings as we prepare for the test on Thursday.
ReplyDeleteJillian, I really enjoyed this blog entry, nice work! I thought you did a great job choosing quotes that worked well together and enabled you to only use direct quotes from the books. I also liked how you had Amy interact with you as well as the other characters. I particularly liked the line where Amy states, "you should know better. You should be smarter than this" (Currie 100). This line parallels Ms. Serensky's daily reminders that we must write intelligently and deeply even when given a seemingly "easy" prompt.
ReplyDeleteJillian, this blog post was hilarious. It incorporated all of the necessary components, made sense, and included humor. I agree that Friday "will be a fine day." I'm very excited to complete the AP exam and have a lot of stress go away.
ReplyDeleteJillian this is pretty good stuff. I really liked how all of the characters comments were similar and generally pessimistic. Like Jimmy I am excited to complete the exam and however hopefully for both of us, these comments will not apply.
