Blog prompt 2- Bawlbaby.

Bawlbaby

Like many other children

I cried over stupid things.

I cried when I lost balloons

I cried when mom went to the store without me

I cried when my brother got things that I didn’t

I cried when I was tired

Or when I was bored

When I was in the slightest of pain

I cried like I was going to loose a limb

And when it hurt badly

I cried like I was going to die before the day was up.

I’m almost  sixteen now

I really hate to cry,

But I guess I still do.

Everyone is reverted to a big bawlbaby at least once in their life.

Some more than others

But I’m  sure that everyone cries.

At least in secret

Opening second quarter blogging! How exciting.

Okay, so the first quarter of blogging is finished. I didn't do wonderfully on the last quarter. I really should have gotten more done. I didn't do well due to lack of attendance, I'm sure. However, I’ve only missed a couple day this quarter, so I'm feeling much more hopeful. I learned a few weeks ago that i only had to be in this class for one semester. That's a shame. This class was growing on me. Anyway, one thing that I did well in my blogging last quarter was being grammatically correct for the most part. And I think that things I said were pretty witty at some points. I definitely could have done better. I could have actually done a few of them, and I'm pretty sure that one of them isn't quite finished. I really like blogging so far, it's actually pretty amusing. At first I was kind of questioning why an entire class depended on the use of the internet to pass, but I guess it's really not that bad. I guess that’s just the age we live in.

This quarters blogging is about the book King of The Mild Frontier by Chris Crutcher. This book so far is really funny, and I really like the stories that are told. I can really relate to this book; Really dumb things that could have easily been avoided happen in my family too. I’m excited to finish this book, and to write my responses to the blog prompts my teacher gave me. I like this quarter blogging much more than I did last quarter.

Music of a Fallen Wonderland

http://www.classicalconnect.com/music/2162

I chose 3 Songs Without Words by Paul Ben-Haim because the minor key and tone of the music reminds me of the fallen state that wonderland is left in after it is invaded and ultimately taken over by Redd and her followers in my book The Looking Glass Wars. While wonderland used to be a happy, cheerful, colour filled place, with crystal shaped buildings and happy citizens. When Redd killed the queen and took over the throne, she forced everything to become like this, calling anything reminiscent of the old queens kingdom "Illegal and punishable by death". While this is happening in wonderland, Alyss (now known on earth as Alice Liddell), was adopted by the Liddell family and living with them.

After a long time, Alice met with the prince of England, and he eventually fell in love with her and proposed. Alice didn't feel the same way, but accepted anyway because she thought her mother would like it. Meanwhile, Hatter Madigan, the man in charge of Alyss' safe return to wonderland, found his way to england where Alyss was living. But was shot by a guardreturned to Wonderland through a puddle before he had a chance to rescue Alyss. When hatter returned to Wonderland, He found it dark and disgusting, very much unlike he had left the city more than 13 years ago. The music I chose also reminds me of the feelings hatter must have felt returning to his home and finding it in tatters.

Characters and setting in ten words or less! (With pictures!)

The Looking Glass Wars.

My name is Hannah Long, I am 15 years old and a sophomore at Carbondale Community High School  I started this blog for my English class. The book I am reading is called The Looking Glass Wars, By Frank Beddor. This book is about Alyss Heart, the rightful heir to the throne of Wonderland. Alyss has an evil aunt Redd, who want the throne for herself. So far in The Looking Glass Wars, the setting has been princess Alyss' seventh birthday party, but several times we have switched scenes to her father, who on his way home from a business trip, was killed by her evil aunt Redd. So far, I really like this book, and its interesting re-telling of alice and wonderland.
