Dialogue

As she walked through the front door, she was immediately greeted by Sam and her posse.
“We are so glad you came! Have you ever met Chad?”
Chad was Sam’s brother who was a junior. He was so handsome. Kelly had this huge crush on him.
“Yes I know Chad.”
She began to shake and sweat again.
“How are you tonight Kelly?”
“I’m good you?”
“Good, do you want a drink? Wine cooler or Beer?”
Kelly had never had alcohol before. She had been raised that you were not to drink alcohol until you were twenty-one. Do I take it? She thought. I have to or everyone would make fun of me.
“Yeah, I will have a wine cooler. Thank you.”
As the night went on Kelly began to loosen up. She was beginning to feel the effects of the alcohol.
“Kelly, my brother has the biggest crush on you. He has told me that he really wants to hook up with you.”

They all are wearing the nice jeans that barely cover their hind end and the tight belly shirts. They are in a deep conversation about what party they will be attending this weekend and what boys will be there. Kelly hears the conversation and wishes that she could be invited just once to a party and to have a least one boy after her attention. As they get closer to school, Kelly hears them start to whisper. All of a sudden, they turned around and began to talk to Kelly. This is the first time all year they had spoken to her. She could feel her hands begin to shake and her legs get weak.
“Hi, we love your shirt. Where did you get it?”
“Thank you, I got it at Hollister.” Kelly’s voice began to crack and her palms began to sweat.
“Cool, did you want to walk the rest of the way to school with us?” “Sure.” Kelly’s was in heaven. She had finally made some friends.

My Story.....

My story is going to be based on the exercise story I came up with. My character is going to be a girl names Kelly. Kelly is 16 years old and struggling to fit in. She goes to a party one night and something happens that will change her life forever. She is going to be going through a lot of changes in the next nine months and she is not really sure she is ready for them. She must decide what she is going to do quickly or else it is going to be to late. In the end we will see how different Kelly is and how different her life is. Stick around to see what is happening in Kelly's Life.

The Plot.....

I found this exercise to be very fun and interesting. My favorite exercise was the From Situation to Plot exercise. I choose to write about the sixteen year old girl in the hospital. This sixteen year old girl was at, not a normal hospital, but a abortion clinic. She was going against everything her parents had told her and was going to get an abortion. As she is in the office, she begins to wrestle with the different opinions in her head. She knows that she is to young to have a child, but at the same time knows it is wrong to have an abortion according to her values and beliefs. She is torn because of this. As the door opens and the nurse calls her name, her heart sinks and she begins to second guess her descision. Finally, she decides that maybe an abortion is not what she really wants.
I had fun with this exercise because you can choose so many different things that could be wrong with this girl. She could be having a baby, she could be finding out she has a fatal disease, etc. You have so many different angles that you can go with such and open subject. I was really shocked at myself that as soon as I read that exercise I knew immediatly what I wanted to write about and how I was going to describe my character. This was a great exercise and I fully enjoyed it.

Exercise 14 & 27

One of the people in my life that I remeber most is a girl in my fifth grade class. She was on of the snobby girls. She was always knocking me because I was so different from everyone. I was the tallest person in my class. Also, I was not what you would call a rail. I had curves and she made sure to point them out almost everyday. She was average height, normal body type, and always had the best clothes. She always had these famous sleep overs that I was never invited to.
One day in particuler stands out to me. Being a girl we obvisously at one point in our lives start to experience a change if you know what I mean (a period). I was of course the first person in my class to start and she made sure she told everyone. This was one of the most embarresing moments in my life. It was also the most tramatic moment that I can remember about her.
After time we did become friends and I don't talk to her as much as I used to, but if I could imagine what she would be like in ten years, she definitly would be still married. Have two children, a boy and a girl, and have the most average, normal life. She will have the perfect job, perfect friends, and a huge house. She would live in the city in a subdivision. She will also be very successful in everything she does because she is just that kind of person.
When I ran this person through exercise 27, I found that I picture this person as a normal human being. This is also a problem that I have because what does society see as normal? Everyones version of normal is different. I also found that most of the things that I wrote down were things that I would have as well. This got me thinking that maybe we were not so different. Maybe we are similar in many ways except our looks. No matter how bad I would like to have changed that day, I am glad it happened because it made me look at myself and realize I didn't care what people thought because I was happy with who I was. I am not normal and I enjoy not being normal. That is what makes life interesting.
