"Stop it you two" mumbled the middle aged father reading his newspaper. 

"Stay out of it dad!" yelled Ed as he looks at his twin brother taunting him. "I'm going to beat the crap out of you!"

Laughing, Noah replied "I'd like to see you try."

The father leaned over the table to start cleaning up the mess, ignoring his children fighting. "Kids these days" he mumbled to himself.

"Leave this mess for Noah to clean up, he made it, he cleans it!" said Ed stomping away from the table.
"If you weren't such a prick we wouldn't have this problem!" replied Noah.

"I caused this?!?" said Noah  clenching his fists.

"STOP IT!" yelled their father. "I don't care who started it, I'm ending it! Now finish cleaning up this mess and go to your rooms."

"I'm not cleaning any of this!" yelled Ed as he stomped to his room.

"Get back here and clean you half Ed!" yelled Noah crossing his arms.

"No! You can do it all yourself" said Noah slamming his bedroom door shut.

"He's so annoying" said Noah to himself starting to clean his mess.

"Good work buddy" said the dad to Noah as he finished the dishes.

"There. I'm done and I'm never cleaning his crap ever again" said Noah as he walked away.

When Noah slams his bedroom door shut the father mumbled "teenagers" to himself and rolled his eyes.

Thinking about Dialogue

My partner and I went to a window upstairs where we saw two girls who were clearly friends sitting and talking together. We listened to the conversation for about 7 minutes. At first we couldn't hear what they were saying, they were pretty quiet and mumbling. It felt awkward because we didn't try overly hard to be subtle. When we saw them we went straight to note taking and we assumed it felt out of the blue. When we sat down we noticed that they stopped talking for a moment and started mumbling. It took a while for them to start talking normal again. We could tell that they were friends because they were acting silly and goofing around. For example when one of them went to lie down, the other said "can you just not embarass me?" in a joking tone. We could use this conversation to apply to our writing because of the way they spoke to one another. We overheard them use the acronym "OMG" which proves that people don't speak formally all the time, especially when they're with their friends. You could tell that when teenagers are around people they're most comfortable with they tend to act kind of immature. One of the more surprising things we learned was that when two people are conversing they tend to take a while to adjust to others being present. They seemed to be comfortable after a while, one was standing up moving around and the other was lying down on the bench. One of the main differences we noticed between written and spoken conversations is the way that people speak. In written conversations, authors assume people talk more formal than they actually do. You can tell that spoken conversations are less formal because people use words such as "OMG" and "like". 

Survivor - Episode 10

It seems like my weeks are waiting for Wednesday's so I can watch a new episode of Survivor. There's 8 castaways remaining in the game and 3 on Redemption Island. I have 1 of my main favorites still in the game and in a great position. I hope Tina wins the truel on Redemption because I would love to see an underdog prevail. Unfortunately, thanks to the promos I know that Monica wins immunity this week. I think that the boot will be Katie or Laura, Katie is the last of her alliance and I would prefer she stays this week. As the finale is approaching, the numbers are dwindling and everyone is thinking of the their end game.

Imagery - Paragraph

1. I chose this passage because it was one of the first that had prominent examples of imagery in it. I noticed two main types of imagery, visual and kinesthetic and also one example of auditory imagery.  

2. The type of imagery that is most prevalent in this passage is visual. The author uses this type of imagery to show Jack’s perspective of the playground.

3. I think the best example of imagery in this passage is “they’re metal with rough orange bits called rust”. In this quote, Jack is using two types of imagery to describe the monkey bars. The first type he uses is visual, by the use of the words metal, rough and orange we can paint a picture of what they look like. Jack also uses kinesthetic imagery in this quote. The reader can feel the rusty metal bars by the way the author decided to write this passage.

4. The imagery in this passage is generally negative. The author is writing about Jacks first experience at a playground and shed tries to show how he is apprehensive and worried. She uses words like cold, scratchy, rough and frozen to show how Jack is feeling at this time. For the most part, all of these words have a negative connotation with them and the author uses them to express Jacks thoughts and feelings at this time.

5. Through this passage the reader can see that Jack is feeling uncomfortable. It’s his first experience trying new things and going to a playground when all he wants to do is go “home”. After having the same routine day after day for 5 years in a row, he is very uncomfortable seeing and trying new things, which is shown in this passage.

6. I think the purpose of this piece of imagery is to highlight on the fact that Jack is uncomfortable. As with most people, trying new things can be hard, but with this passage and others, we see that Jack would rather just go back to Room and never leave.

The doctor heard a loud ring of the telephone and immediately runs to it. He answers it as quickly as possible and makes his way out of the hospital. Waiting for him outside is a humongous loud, rough looking creature. He makes his way onto the dinosuor and holds on tight. The dinosuor begins to sprint, after running for a minute he begins to flap his giant wings almost deafening the doctor. Soon enough, the doctor and the dinasour are flying to their patient. Within minutes they are above the patients house and the flapping of the dinosaur's wings starts to die down. The doctor feels himself and the dinosaur falling in mid air. Just when they get close to the ground the dinosaur starts flapping his oversized wings again, landing the both of them safety and quickly. The doctor jumps off the dinosaur and gets a tingly feeling in his feet from the long jump. He pats the dinosaur on the chest as if to say "thanks" and runs into his patients house. He hears loud crying and wailing of the word help from upstairs and makes his way up the very loud creaky staircase. He pushes open the bathroom door and sees a woman lying on the ground, he can't tell what her problem is, but knows she needs help. He picks her up off the ground and hears a loud grunt from the woman. He carries her out of the house and places her onto the dinosaur. He makes sure both him and his patient are safe for takeoff before patting the dinosaur. The dinosaur takes off immediately and the loud flapping of his wings returns. They quickly make their way back to the hospital, the doctor rushes his patient into the hospital, ignoring all other patients and pedestrians. Hours later, the doctor greats his patient in her room with a glass of water. He asks her how she's doing and in a very quiet, raspy voice, she replies "okay".
