My favorite character
the character that i liked the most from A Gracious Plenty was Lucy. I think Lucy's character was more of the light in the gloomy novel. The tone of the novel was just a little too serious and dul for me. But Lucy in almost every scene (i think) was either dancing, singing, or joking and thats what made the novel a little more bearable. And her story was interesting also. A ex- beauty queen that runs away and struggles with herself and where she belongs.

Stock of My Work
For my narrative essay, I think I told the story pretty well. Although there were some gaps in between I stuck with the idea of my writing experience and used what I could remember. I think I did pretty well with the details. If I could improve anything, I would probably try to make my narrative flow together more. When I was looking at the topics, the writing one stuck out because I remembered some of the experiences I've had in middle/high school. To start my drafting, I wrote down everything that I remembered about writing. Although I didnt remember how I learned how to write, I still remembered how and why I enjoyed writing. I didn't use photos or graphics for this essay. Most of the feedback I got was good, but I did make a couple of mistakes so I was appreciative of their suggestions. Next time, I would probably try to fill in the gaps (thats if I could remember anything else).

My dash
In my dash (lifetime) the most important thing would be my family. I have a large family and each family member plays an important role in my life. I have learnt so much from everyone, and I believe that they all had a part in raising me. But two people that I cherish the most is my mom and dad. Although they are a little stubborn and sometimes unreasonable (like all parents are) I understand the reasons why they act the way that they do. Meaning, since I'm the youngest in the family, I am always babied and "watched over". But I think its hard for them to actually face the fact that I can make my own decisions and I can take responsibility for my own faults. I get frustrated sometimes, but I'm grateful that they care and that they are trying to protect me. As for my siblings, you could say that its a love/hate relationship...lol...who doesn't have one of those?? but i resepct each and everyone of them. They also have a big influence in my life, I learn from their mistakes and they help me whenever I need help. I could honestly say that I would chose my family over anything.

A Gracious Plenty
I think it would be interesting to read a novel where the main character talks to dead people. The genre of this book is different from the types of magazines and books that I have read. I have already started reading the book, and so far its interesting. From the beginning, it jumps into the main focus and doesn't drag. But at some scenes its hard to follow because its a narration between several dead people and the main character.
