Writing Reflection #5 - The Help

I've been reading a lot and I am enjoying it! I'm getting through the 5th chapter now and I'm starting to see somethings I didn't notice before in the first few chapters. Abeline really dislikes the idea of Ms.Elizabeth having another baby because she cannot take care of her son, as is. I agree. If you can't take care of a human being, do not create another!! It is not rocket science in my opinion.... but hey, that's just me I guess. It just is not right. I really like Skeeter. I think she is hilarious and courageous! I wish I had her guts because she just speaks her mind continuously, it's great. I cried while reading the last chapter because the racism/slavery is progressing and it is so awful to know that this actually used to happen and could still be happening in our world TODAY. It's disgusting. I want to stop it.

Writing Reflection #4 - The Help

Wow, this book has got my attention full on and it's challenging to put it down. I'm feeling motivated when I'm reading this book, it is a very effective book in my opinion. It is really something to take into consideration. The racism in this book is ridiculous and I'm happy to see someone (Skeeter) to stand up and write a book about it, showing everyone how her town people treat different-cultured people. It saddens me that I continue to see this today but I know it will change in the future because I am going to help do something about it. This really inspires me because I hope to pursue a carreer in the Human Rights field and help stop human suffering. This book is hard to read sometimes because it is very emotional.

Writing Reflection #2 - The Help

These last few chapters I have read is where the story starts kicking off and is giving me sort of a limit of expectations to which I can predict. I really love Abeline and what she believes. Losing her son was a sad part in this book and I couldnt imagine how hard it would be to lose a family member, who you love so deeply. This story is a good exaple of why our world shouold change for the better. I understand it has changed, but there is still racism and judgement out there, everyday I see it. Everyone is so used to the way things are and are probably scared that if things change, it's going to be a bad thing but that is a negative way to look at things and I would love to see my positivity around me today. Back in those days, Skeeter was the one who made a change because of what she believed in and knew that beauty is not the colour of your skin. I am so happy I chose this book. I'm looking forward to reading more!

*PS sorry for the late assignment, I just found this and a few others in my writers notebook!

Writing Reflection Twitter Fiction

My twitter fiction is coming along! I am halfway finished. I really need to work hard this week on completing my twitter fiction story but I know I can finish it if I concentrate and stay determined. My twitter fiction is dramatic, it has a very intense building to the crazy scenario that happens next. I chose to write my twitter fiction as an extended story because my story is the type where there's something that is usually always happening, there is more than one big event.

For my twitter fiction To-Do List: I have completed....
- More than 20 tweets - Yes! More to come.
- A few examples of visual, auditory, kinesthetic, smell and taste -Almost!!
- Multi-Tweet Story
- Three tweets of character development - Not quite complete but I have not forgotten!
- Two tweets worth of dialogue - Yes!
- Five original Twitter to accompany my fiction - No, but I have chosen all five pictures

I'm most excited about adding the pictures to my fiction because it will add much effect, I think.
My intro and emotions have worked well in my story thus far and I think it will continue to progress, at least I will try to continue those things. My body of my fiction still needs a bit of work, some sentences do not mesh well together so I will have to improve that before I tweet the rest of my story.

My comment for this writing/tweeting task would be to let MsMcLauchlan know that I really enjoy this project, I think it is beyond creative and I hope you enjoy my Twitter fiction!

Weekly Reflection #6

The Help (281) This is my first favourite book that's not written by Stephen King. I love the detail of the characters and their personalities. @Cre8tiveHavoc #WR6

I also love how the slang the author used, expresses so much emotion. @Cre8tiveHavoc #WR6

This book is emotional and historic. I would be lying if I said I haven't cried yet reading this book. @Cre8tiveHavoc #WR6
