Since I last left off, Clary stood in the 'empty' room, while the bouncer and Simon came in. She apologized for nothing being in there, but she actually knew that there were people in there even if they weren't people at all. After Clary and Simon left Pandemonium, they couldn't get a taxi. Finally, they got one and hopped in. The next day, Clary pulled out a box that was her father's. It had a bunch of his belongings in it, and she liked to look at it sometimes. When Clary's mother came home though, she told Clary that they were going to go on a vacation. Her excuse was that she needed to get away for a while. Clary got really mad, and just then, Simon walked in. Clary ran off with Simon, and as they were going down the stairs, an old lady opened her door. Clary saw a man walk out, but Simon didn't see him. Then, while they were walking to a Mexican restaurant, Clary saw a little girl's toy flap it's wings. Clary started getting really worried about seeing more people become other things, so she looked away from everyone. Then, while they were eating, Clary's mother kept calling her, but Clary kept blowing her off. Then, they started walking to Simon's friend's poetry reading.
Visualization: I could visualize a lot of this reading, like when Clary was standing in the empty room. I could see her looking around hopelessly. Then, when Simon and her were walking to the restaurant, I could see them talking. It was very easy to visualize. I could also easily see Clary yelling at her mother. Plus, I could picture a little girl walking past with a fairy doll flapping it's wings.

This book sounds like it would make a great screen play. Do you think so?
ReplyDeletei think it would, it would be very action-y!
ReplyDeleteYou have a lot of great information and a lot of detail, I'm very interested to see what happens once you read more in the book!
ReplyDeletep.s you're awesome :)
Meags,
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you are putting this Christmas present to good use at ELA. You also are clearly enjoying the book. Do you read it only at school? I ask because I recall that it is a lengthy book and so will be a challenge to complete this school session, tho I know that you are prone to consume a good book (whether at school, home or the Hermitage Museum). You appear to enjoy blogging, and, as one of the others commenters noted, you function well in this milieu. I am looking forward to your next entry.

Teagan--
ReplyDeleteI am not quite sure how we could fit this into an end-of-the-year or end-of-the-unit project, but writing a screen-play version of even a part of the book might be a very fun and meaningful experience for you. Hmmm...if it's something you're interested in, perhaps we should chat!

P.S. If it's okay with you, I am going to show your blog along with a few others as very nice examples that the classes should be striving for. I love how yours is so interactive between you and your commenters.
Mrs Phillips:
ReplyDeleteThat would be a very cool idea! It would probably be hard to do, but it would be a very creative idea for sure! I would love to do that, and I think that it should be an end-of-the-year project. Maybe I will get started on that!!
