when i took part in the Salem Witch trials quiz thingy, i chose to deny the fact that i was a witch because i did not do it. Through the proces, i was found guilty because of the accusors and how they made it all up. i scratched my hand because my shirt was itchy and they scream and claw their arms, i cough and they bend over trying to throw up. everything i did was used against me. with this evedince used against me, i was found guilty. i tried to explain that i was inocent but the judge had all of the evedence he needed. i was taken out the next day and was sentanced to death. i hung later that day.

9 weeks review

So yeah, as a reader I have grown some. I now can read a piece of literature and read into it more than I could have at the beginning of this year. I don’t think I have not really grown as a writer, or if I have, it has not been much. I like the concept of “muscle verbs” to show the importance. I have not grown as a person because of our groups and I’m not what you would call a “team player”. It happens. I have learned how to use a blog, and that’s kinda cool I guess. I don’t know what to expect out of the next nine weeks.

Cut

A theme of Cut is running. If you run away from your problems nothing will ever be solved, and sometimes the problem will get worse. Callie, in the beginning, is running away from her problem, in denial that she needs help. But then she meets Amanda and she sees inside of herself, and doesn’t like what she is looking at. This is the point where she realizes that she really needs help, when she takes the jagged edge of the aluminum pie plate and cuts her wrist. This cut feels different, somehow wrong, and the pain reaches out to her instead of the sweet relief that she is so accustomed to getting. After that painful night, she begins to change. She starts talking to the girls around her, something she has never done before, and starts talking to the physiatrist. She begins to open up to people around her like a book, just starting to open to the reader. After a short while of cooperating with the establishment that she is currently residing, she begins to gain little freedoms, such as the ability to walk from one place to another without an escort. When she gets this responsibility, she goes to the physiatrist and finds that she is not there that day and doesn’t know what to do with herself. Then she decides to go for a run and just walks out the door and starts to run. When night finally comes, she stops at a payphone and calls her dad. Worried, her father comes and picks her up and takes her back to Silver Pines. When they get back, Callie decides that she wants to get better.

Weaving a thread

Ok, so yeah, my book is Cirque Du Freak. We had a good lit circle. One of our topics was as follows: What if the super-natural was real? The bible talks about how some people were possessed (back in the day) Uhh...I don't really know what all I said, or anybody else said, it was all just sort of flowing together, more like a conversation rather than everyone just listing off something they wrote down, so yeah.
