The Notebook!

I love The Nothbook! Both the movie and the book are incredible. I suggest you read and watch both because they will both as individuals will take you on a jorney of love. The Notebook is about a boy named Noah and a girl named Allie. One summer her rich family vists SeaBrook, North Carolina. She meets this poor Noah at a carnival. At first she doesn't like him but, throughout the summer they fall in love and her parents don't approve of him because heis poor. She has to leave him by the end of the summer and then suddenly when you have no clue whats going to happen; things begin to heat up. It is most definitly, "a must see and a must read!" You can by the movie for about $9 at target and buy the book at boarders for $7.99!





In the film Noah is played by Ryan Gosling & Allie is played by Rachel McAdams! They both performed beautifully.

R.T. I will be posting about The Notebook a lot! I talk about too much to post just one time!

R.T...

You know how "P.S." stands for Postal Script? Well, I've decided to make my own! R.T. is "The new!" It stands for "Random Tip"(Cool right?) Use it, spread it, and make it fun! This could be the next big thing. (Be sure to give me my props if you use it!)

R.T. It's up to the people! lol

Sunglasses are definitely in, pictures will be taken and black lipstiick will be worn!



I'm not sure when this picture was taken but it's extremly adored by me. The wind flowing in her hair reminds me of a summer breeze, and I most strongly can't wait to get a taste of that breeze! The black lipstick is genuis and the pink sunglass are funky... I would buy that camera just because its in this picture (and the glasses and the lipstick; if I included the girl it would be weired lol). What do you guys think of pic?



Black Lipstick should be no more
than $10! The sunglasses are priced $119.95.

This is the Key!

This is the key
This is the key of the Kingdom:
In that Kingdom is a city;
In that city is a town;
In that town there is a street;
In that street there winds a lane;
In that lane there is a yard;
In that yard there is a house;
In that house there waits a room;
In the room an empty bed;
And on that bed a basket –
A Basket of Sweet Flowers;
Of Flowers, of Flowers
A Basket of Sweet Flowers



Flowers in a Basket;
Basket on the bed;
Bed in the chamber;
Chamber in the house;
House in the weedy yard;
Yard in the winding lane;
Lane in the broad street;
Street in the high town;
Town in the city;
City in the Kingdom
This is the key of the Kingdom.
Of the Kingdom this is the Key.



I like this poem because I can read it a billion times, and not grow tired of it. The words paint a picture in my mind in a different way each time I read it. I especially love the last two lines, ”This is the Key of the Kingdom, Of the Kingdom this is the Key.”It was the line, and then the line backwards, and it really stood out to me. This poem seems as if someone dug deep into one specific subject (The Kingdom). Then they reversed it and built up from what was deep within the subject (The Kingdom).

Cynthia: I thought she was cool?


“IN 1936, a glamour girl named Cynthia became a minor toast of the town. She went around with a guy named Lester, who took her to all the showoff places — the opera, El Morocco — and the next year she made the cover of Life. Cynthia would get fan mail, but if anyone ever got a reply, it was guaranteed to come from Lester. That’s because Cynthia was a mannequin.”


When I began reading this article, I thought Cynthia was this amazing person; someone I thought by the end of the article would be an inspiration! Finding out she was a mannequin was disappointing. She got fan mail and Lester would answer it, if answered. I thought she was so important that she didn’t have time to answer fan mail. After reading it a couple times, I realized it was a dead giveaway. He took her to “all the showoff places.” I mean come on, I can’t believe I fell for it. This is so jank! On the plus side, the rest of the article was interesting. It talking about mannequins of course and how they used to represent people. You can find it at this link:

GLITTER FARTS lol SICK!


As always I was in school, and it was glitter on the bathroom floor! This is when the thought came to my mind… Wouldn’t it be cool if someone could fart out glitter? I wish this person was me. It would be the coolest thing in the world. Sounds kind of nasty but if it could be glitter oppose to stench, I would definitely pick glitter! It could be like a firework exploding in the sky! P.S. I’m not gross if you’re thinking it! My mind is simply different than the rest! lol haha

SATIRE?

A satire is a literary work that attacks or pokes fun at vices, abuses, stupidity, and/or any other fault or imperfection. Satire may make the reader laugh at, or feel disgust for, the person or thing satirized. Impishly or sardonically, it criticizes someone or something, using wit and clever wording—and sometimes makes outrageous assertions or claims. The main purpose of a satire is to spur readers to remedy the problem under discussion. The main weapon of the satirist is verbal irony, a figure of speech in which words are used to ridicule a person or thing by conveying a meaning that is the opposite of what the words say.

Blog Assignment 1: What is satire? Does A Modest Proposal qualify as satire? Explain.

I think satire means your own judgment sarcastically. In the definition above it states, “Satire may make the reader laugh at, or feel disgust for.” People tell me all the time that I speak sarcastically and I do notice that sarcasm either makes someone laugh or results to them being mad or upset. I think a Modest Proposal does qualify as satire. The reasoning is because when you are doing a Modest Proposal, you are giving your perspective on a subjects. You will dig to find “clever wording” to back up your reasoning which is satire. Making someone feel like their understanding is wrong by switching up words is satire. Basically make your opponent feel dumb!
