Popcorn thinking...

 Hey reader's and writer's,

Someone once said, "A picture is worth a thousand words."  Here are some photos I've taken during my adventures.  Look at the three photos and write THE FIRST THING THAT COMES TO MIND!! 

      Sometimes people experience something called writer's block.  A great way to get over that is to just start writing.  As the Nike slogan says, "JUST DO IT".  By starting somewhere our mental juices start flowing and our thoughts begin to do something I call POPCORN.  They just start popping. 

      So, peruse(skim) the photos and choose one.  Choose all if you like, but once you have a thought just write it down.  What do you think the people in the photos are thinking?  What would they say at the time of the picture?  Do the pictures remind you of a memory of yours?  Write it down...

"My name is Monti and I am the last Air Bender," said the man with the arrow on his head.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing! This person standing before me was the chosen one. It could be. The legends say the chosen one was someone of a "New Youth".

As I stared in amazement, a blue glow began to engulf the man who called himself Monti...

Hi mr.C this is Noemy and i am reading eclipse. And I am reading this book because it sounds interesting and it feels like the pictures are just popping out at me, my favorite sentence is "I stoped listening after a minute, letting her quick voice become just a hum in the background as i settle into my pasion mode".After I read that pg I stoped and was surprised of the power of writing.
p.s this book will probably take me about 2yrs to finish. Because it has 629 pgs. noemy :)

i think the best double entry diary i entered was the one that said...

PAGE:#41
Direct Quote:
"That word appropriate, took a minute to sink in.

NO, i wanted to shout, i want to be told what evers true. But i didn't.

I visualize...
Ella trying to catch up to Madame Bisset as she was walking and say that to her.

I Wonder if...
She is mad that she is a princess because she can't do anything by herself or go outside the castle.

i think in this double entry diary i did well because i tried to be the character and imagine what it would be like for them.

i grade myself a 3.5 on this one because i could have done better thinking but i liked it very much.
