Most Intriguing Character

In my openion Lenord is the most intriguing character. I think he wants to do the right thing all the time, but feels that since hes a policeman he fells obligated to do policeman work. For example he knows that Finch is a good woman and hates having to arrest her for the charges of harassing Lois Armour. When he went out to get Finch on the boat he reasoned with her and learned how to fish. I think he is a really nice person, but he knows that he needs to do his job. He puts his job infront of anything else. I think he knows that Lois Armour is a pain, but he is forced to do things he dosn't want to. Lenord is a very interesting character.

Taking Stock of Your Work

- In general I believe I did well in telling the story. There is a clear begining, middle and ending with good details supporting each.
- My strong points are my catchy title and good ending.
- I think my grammer could always use improvement and my formating needs something also.
- I was thinking about why I don't like to read and I thought of the times I made an effort to read and failed.
- I wrote down details that I remembered and just started writing.
- I could have used a picture of the cover of a book, but I didn't think we could use pictures.
- Other people liked the story, but didn't think it was that interesting. They also mentioned that my grammer was a little poor. I would have to agree.
- I will try and fix my grammer mistakes and make my story more interesing.

Dash

My dash really consists of my friends and family. Any important events or adventures has happened with either my friends or family. Vacations, Christmas's, weddings or funerals have all happened with people I love. I could go on forever with stories, but only a few have really affected my life. I lost my grandmother to cancer when I was in forth grade and I just lost my aunt in a car accident. These memories have taught me that you never know when someone you love will die. My family has instilled these values in me. I have to live life to the fullest, but still remember the past as I create new memories. I have also had many good experiences that have helped shape my life. I have traveled to Russia and help start a youth philanthropy organization and spoke at the Russian National Convention. I went on this trip with friends. In the end all I have to hold on to is memories. I have a short time on this earth to create them, but memories will always be with family or friends.

What I Think

So far I am not looking forward to reading any type of book in any class. A Gracious Plenty only has 205 pages and the print is realitively big, so it might not be that bad. However the topic is not something that would usually interest me. There are movies like the "sixth sense" or "Ghost" in which there are dead people. I liked those movies, so maybe this book wont be so bad. I really want to do well in this class and in order to do that I will need to read this book, so I better like it either way.
