Plot For Seriously I'm Kidding

       I am up to page 57 in Seriously I'm Kidding and have realized something. There is no plot or characters. That is because Ellen Degeneres, the author, didn't write a fictional book with characters. The characters are the people she sees everyday and herself. She is basically writing about herself and anything that has happened to her that is comedic. Her main goal of the book was to bring people joy and entertainment by reading something that is funny and you don't take serious. That's probably why people choose to read this book to relax, laugh, and not have to get emotional about characters in a silly fictional book. I recommend reading this book, even from just explaining the plot only.

Seriously I'm Kidding

      You may have heard of Ellen Degeneres from her show Ellen Degeneres. She is at it again with hr book Seriously I'm Kidding.  Her book consists of many little chapters where she talks about many different things that we can relate to. I have read to page 33. The chapters within these pages are: Writing This Book,  CoverGirl, Stuff, Personally Speaking The Secret of Life, The Secret of Life-Part Two, and Thunderclap: A Short Short Story. 

      I would say my favorite chapter was CoverGirl, because she tells you these ways to be a supermodel and they are like ridiculous things. Basically, the whole book consists of satire. She is sarcastic and just makes jokes about her life and really anything. 

Fahrenheit 451

         In Fahrenheit 451, I have started the book before thanksgiving break and have read to the second part. In the first part, the story begins with the setting at a firehouse, but no ordinary firehouse. Firemen are supposed to extinguish fire's right? Not in this book. The government has banned all books and now firemen are burning any book they see. Guy montag is the main character here. He has been working there for 10 years now and seems to know everything about burning books and loves his job, until montag is called to a house with a book citing.

           He is forced to burn every book the homeowner has, which is a heaping pile, and the homeowner refuses to leave. His rules state to light the entire house up and anything inside it, including people. Montag is now sick of that scene he had done the niht before and has taken something back with him that could get him in major trouble. His wife finds the book he has hidden behind his pillow from the night before and is very scared what might happen is Captain Beatty finds it too. which is coinsidence since he is there wondering why montag didnt go to work. Beatty leaves and Montag leads his wife to the opening of an air vent and shows his wife something that nobody could have ever guessed about Montag.
 

Reflection

I chose A Link Between Gossip Girl and Life to exemplify as my best blog post. This is becasue I linked Gossip Girl to what it would be like in everyday life and even at your own school. I felt like this related and met the requirements most to having our first post be related to life in some way. Also, in my blog I felt like I tried to make the blog posts about some of the rubric requirements and even some different topics, like grammar. I think I stuck more to analyizing over a couple chapters and characters then to putting more effort in the harder things like theme and book recomendations, just to make the whole thing easier. Over time though, I must admit that I got lazy and didnt want to read this book anymore or post.

During writing my blog, I had struggles with was figuring out what to write about half the time. Like some days i would have a really good section i wrote about and then the next week i had a section in the book that i had a hard time to write about in some way. I just overcame it by looking at the rubric and choosing something to writy eabout it with and maybe putting a picture in to just make it seem not so empty. Although I was really good at putting pictures in to realte to what I talked about. It seeemed easy to link anything to a picture.

Friends?

Are Serena And Blair Friends? Well, Blair has been dogding Serena sometimes, and just doesnt feel like friends with her still. Especially since she just ran off and didnt talk to her the whole time she was gone. Now Blair is throwing a huge party and Serena isnt invited. Will they ever be back to normal?

S is Back!

     Serena Van Der Woodsen is back at Constance Billard School for Girls! She has showed up, late, underdressed and in a new uniform that stood out from the rest of the seniors. This because the girls get to switch to a blue skirt from a tunic, and keep their skirts for the rest of their school years. Therefore, they are all so short. So when Serena walked in with a brown tunic that was to her knees she was noticeable.

Does grammar change...?

Does grammar change in all books when they talk about Blogs? In Gossip Girl, it'll switch to about 2 chapters then go to Gossip Girl's blog. Yet the grammar doesn't change on her website. For instance, text language. Lol, c u l8ter, etc.

 She doesn't talk like that though. Also, Cecily von Ziegesar's grammar is pretty good, considering she is talking in 3rd person.
