A voice to remember

                                                                 A Voice To Remember      
Authors Note: This a object monologue about a play script and is getting fed up with the way she has been treated
  Come On put me down you obviously can't sing so whats the point of even trying. Hi, I'm a play script I get handed off year after year to some self conceited girl who seems to think that she actually could get the lead. And geez another year of this I don't think I can take it. Oh no she is handing me to...... a boy? Who new that boys like theater.Oh my gosh he just started singing and he is the reason I love this job. I love those kids who actually have some talent. Yay, he got part, finally someone actually deserves it!

It All Started With a Dodge Ball

Author Note: This book about a teenager who gets hit in the face with a dodge ball and goes on to watch her flash her life from heaven.
Immediately, an orange jolt of color came and smacked me in the face and I felt an urge that something amazing is going to happen and change my life forever. In gym class, Tessa is struck in the face with a dodge ball causing her to see dramatic colors before she loses consciousness. The novel, Heaven Looks A Lot Like the Mall, by Wendy Mass, will make readers understand how the author is making Tessa, the main character, really reach to their emotion's throughout this story. The book has a interesting plot line, the author has a great plot line, very good creativity, and resemblance to other stories; it really makes you appreciate the author's dedication to her writing.

First off, this teen friendly book, Heaven Looks A Lot like the Mall, starts with explaining Tessa's college application process.  It wouldn't be so bad until she determines it involves writing a summary of who she believes she is. As she tried to gather her thoughts and compose a paragraph, she comes to the realization that she has no idea who she is. When fate takes control of her life, Tessa has no choice but to figure it out.

To follow this previous point, during the climax of the book, Tessa has just been hit in the face with a dodge ball in gym, making her neck bend in a way she didn't think was humanly possible. As she takes the impact of the hard floor on her head she can only think she must be going to heaven when really heaven is just the mall.  As she begins to feel like she's floating, she wonders why, "Out of all the weirdo's in my school, I’m the one who is the dodge ball target." The author does a really good job of making you feel Tessa's emotions throughout the book.

Finally, this book is much like other familiar story's like a "A Christmas Carol" and "A Wonderful Life". What these books all have in common is that the plot is based on each of the main characters trying to discover their reasons for existence and they provide a glimpse of different alternatives to their lives. So similar to those stories, she watches life unfold before her eyes, she see things that she wishes she could erase from her mind, and she discovers things she would rather not know about herself. She must find the answer to the burning question, even though it's difficult she must remain eager and determined similar to how the other main characters in the other stories. 
 
The interesting plot line, very good creativity, and resemblance to other stories; really makes you understand the dedication of the author. In the book Tessa realizes that something did come out of being hit in the face with a dodge ball. It really did change her life in quick time. The book truly has a fantastic plot line written by a very creative author. Overall I found the book interesting and intriguing. It always kept me wanting to read more. I would recommend this book as suitable for my age group. I will certainly appreciate every moment of my life.

Orange Colored Sky

I was walking along, minding my business,
When out of the orange colored sky,
Flash, bam, alacazam, Wonderful you came by.
.
I was humming a tune, drinking in sunshine,
When out of that orange colored view
Wham, bam, alacazam, I got a look at you.
.
One look and I yelled timber
Watch out for flying glass.
Cause the ceiling fell in and the bottom fell out
I went into a spin and I started to shout
I've been hit, This is it, this is it, this is it.
.
I was walking along minding my business
When love came and hit me in the eye
Flash, bam, alacazam,
Out of the orange colored sky
.
Well, one look and I yelled timber
Watch out for flying glass.
Cause the ceiling fell in and the bottom fell out
I went into a spin and I started to shout
I've been hit, This is it, this is it, this is it.
.
I was walking along minding my business
When love came and hit me in the eye
Flash, bam, alacazam,
Out of the orange colored, purple stripes,
Pretty green polka-dot sky
Flash, bam, alacazam,
Went the sky
Last Weekend I sang this song called "Orange Colored Sky" and I made it out to be about a girl who was walking down the street and she saw something amazing. Suddenly, her life began to change. Her Life Changed time and time again. Until she realized that this was her life now and she was gonna used to it. And she accepts it now and she looked up and realized all this time there was this magnificent orange colored sky making this change even better. 


A Choice I'm Willing To Make

A #2 pencil and a dream can take you anywhere.
Joyce A. Meyer
Before I wrote this I went on Google and I sat motionless wondering what I should type in and all the sudden it hit me, Famous Quotes. And I looked on the list of websites suggestions and I picked one called Brainy Quotes. Then I saw the options of what kind of quote I wanted. I went from Change, to Dream, to Imagination, to Peace. Then I finally clicked on Inspirational. The first one I saw was wrote Joyce A. Meyer. The quote was "A #2 pencil and a dream can take you anywhere". Then I thought about ways that I could apply the quote to my life. I knew that I could put it in use with my school work. That if I do well school I can go and do whatever I want to do. I know what my dad would always say "Do well in school so you can have unlimited options instead of having limited options. I want have unlimited options so whatever I decide to do with my life there will be no hesitation for colleges to reject me.

A Secret Voice


Authors Note:This a monologue is about a girl that wrote in her diary about her best friend Is avoiding her and being mean and she is very sad and  she doesn't know what to do. These are her words

The crowd was being really mean to me. Even Frankie. And I thought her
Was my best friend. Every time I went up to them in the playground they ran
Away from me screaming ‘She’s coming. Quick. Run.’ Frankie running
Away was the worst thing ever. I didn’t know what to do. Whether to follow
Them or what. So I ran after them to ask if I could play. Then they ran off
again. Amy said, ‘Go away,’ really fiercely. ‘We want to be on our own,’
she said pulling this horrid face. ‘We’re talking privately,’ Amy shouted at
me. They were telling secrets and I wasn’t supposed to listen. I went and sat
on the bench. I thought I was going to cry, and I did. I thought that if I did a
teacher would come and ask why. But no I didn't get to tell her the group was avoiding me
SO WHAT! She would have made me go and play with someone I didn’t like. And Amy
And Frankie would get into trouble.(sniffles) So when the teacher came over to me I
Pretended I was playing hide and seek with the group. Counting to 100. The hardest thing about being her dairy was watching her cry. And having her tears soaking within my pages. Although I'm an inanimate object and I don't have feelings, I know by the way that she holds I and they way expresses herself in her writing. I know, I know, I know you’re just a diary……. just a diary! But honestly, I think I know her better than Frankie, Amy,………Everyone.
