There are different tones in this story. There is happy, sad, relieved, frustrated, and forgiving. I chose my pictures based on these tones.<br />"The Sun Parlor" is about two sister's, West and Sis. West lives at home and Sis visits on her breaks from school. West is the older sister. West decides to paint and rearrange the sun parlor. After some time, she finishes it, and a couple weeks later, Sis comes home on her break. Sis never stops to do anything, except that she noticed the sun parlor. West wouldn't let her go in it because West didn't want her to rune it. After Sis leaves, West's aunt comes to visit. On her visit, she becomes sick. They have her sleep in the parlor because she can't walk up the stairs. After she dies, West decides to lock up the parlor because there is too much sadness inside it.<br />The sad pictures represent when West chose to lock up the sun parlor after her aunt died.<br />The happy pictures represent when West's aunt came over. The aunt was West's favorite aunt.<br />West was frustrated when Sis came home for break because West had just gotten the sun parlor done and Sis, never stops for anything, noticed it.<br />West was relieved when Sis went to go play outside.<br />The hyper picture and the running picture represents Sis because she never stops to see, talk, or listen to anyone.<br />At the end of the story, West and Sis are older and West asks Sis if she could answer just one question. West is sad and forgiving even though Sis never answered her question.Jaymiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13288956675631097042noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2822416132392040485.post-13687363749489192452009-12-10T10:22:00.000-08:002010-04-16T12:53:55.932-07:00Tarantula Spider or Digger Wasp<span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:100%;" >If you are not fascinated by either the spider or the wasp, why?

While they are reading, they here a noise outside and go see what it is. It's an alien ship! The aliens take them and try to take over Springfield. The aliens feed the Simpson's and then Lisa finds a recipe book on "how to cook humans". The aliens see that she has found it and blow on it to dust it off. It then says, "How to cook for humans". Lisa blows on it and it now says, "How to cook forty humans". The alien blows on it again and it finally said, "How to cook for forty humans". Lisa hurt the aliens feelings and they dropped them off back at their house. The kids went back up into the tree house to tell stories. Homer was sitting outside the tree house in the tree. Marge calls the kids into the house for bed and as they are going down the tree, Homer is still sitting there shaking because he is scared. Homer has a nightmare that night.</span><br /><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Direct Characterization:</span></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> The alien says, "This will fatten them humans up" while he was mixing a pot of stew.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Conflict- </span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Character vs. Character</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">:</span></span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Bart and Lisa fighting over good/bad Halloween stories to tell.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Character vs. Society</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">:</span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> </span></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Aliens vs. Springfield, the aliens tried to take over Springfield and failed.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Character vs. Nature</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">:</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> </span></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Aliens vs. food, they won't eat in front of the Simpson's.<br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Character vs. Self</span></span><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-weight: bold;">:</span></span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> </span></span></span><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Bart, he was choking himself trying to scare Lisa and Maggie.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Setting:</span> Springfield and an alien ship at night.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Point of View(POV): </span>Omniscient because the narrator used every one's POV instead of just one character.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Irony:</span> Lisa says, "This is a scary one!" when she was reading a book on Halloween stories.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Suspense:</span> Lisa and Bart keep telling "scary" Halloween stories that aren't scary.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Hyperbole:</span> The alien ship had to use two beams of light t0 lift Homer into the ship.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Foreshadowing: </span>Lisa was ease dropping on the stove and said, "This will fatten them humans up" and took the pot of stew away.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Flashback:</span> Lisa is reading the story and they show what's happening through a visionary.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Exposition: </span>Bart, Lisa, and Maggie go into the tree house.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Rising Action: </span>They start telling "scary" Halloween stories.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Falling Action: </span>Kids have to go inside for bed.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Resolution:</span> Homer gets scared and has nightmares.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Drawing a Conclusion: </span>Some stories aren't scary to others just because it's scary to you.<br /></span></span></span></span></span></span>Jaymiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13288956675631097042noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2822416132392040485.post-27897539836235076562009-10-19T10:42:00.000-07:002010-04-16T12:53:18.081-07:00Holiday ExtravaganzaMy favorite holiday is Christmas because I get a lot of presents. I also like Christmas because I like to go snowboarding and snowmobiling. But only if there is enough snow on the ground.<br /><br />If I could have a fantasy holiday, it would be BLUE COLOR DAY where everyone wears blue because my favorite color is blue.<br /><br />If I could holiday in(vacation) a country, I would holiday in(vacation) Australia. I have always wanted to go to Australia because my friend Ink(Emma-Jane) lives there and I want to see a kangaroo.Jaymiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13288956675631097042noreply@blogger.com0
