Final blogger reflection

Click here to read my best Character Post

 

         My Characters post is by the far the best because, in the rubric it says "The student analyzes in detail how complex characters develop over the course of the text, interact with other characters, and advance the plot or develop the theme". In my blog post I described and explained how Jane one of the main characters interacts with the other characters. Also how in the beginning of the book she was a flat character and we knew nothing about her or her family, background of where she was/is from. Then moving on in the book I stated how you began to know more and more about this once mysterious character. Who know developed into a round character instead of flat character that we knew nothing about. I then went on to explain how in my book Jane did not propel the plot but Scarlett did by getting all of the boys and taking them, home with her. When Janie (Jane) didn’t even talk to them. So there for concluding that in my blog post I believe I fully fulfilled all the requirements and it was by far my best blog post by far.

   One thing I struggled with doing was blogging every week two posts and four comments. The four comments weren’t that difficult. Posting twice every week was hard though because sometimes my books characters didn’t change or nothing really propelled in the plot or nothing actually changed that much so it was hard to post about my book if nothing changed or if let’s say I already posted to all of the categories so you had to repeat a category but since you posted the last time to that category nothing changed in it. So I found that difficult to post two posts every week. There wasn’t really any way I could overcome this because I still had to post two times a week and comment four times. But I worked through it as much as I could. For the four comments each week I just found a blog that interested me and I could easily relate to and used that so it was easier to comment. Instead of finding a blog that I had no clue what they were talking about or what they were saying. I tending to stick to blog posts that I had read so I could easily comment on them, and I really didn’t have to make it like a job. More of an extra thing that I enjoyed doing once a week. Working through two posts each week was a little harder. I had to think about it a lot before I posted, so the week before I would post and then start thinking then, what I was going to post for the next week. So while I was reading before I had to post the next week I would be looking in the reading for examples or parts that I could relate to one or more the categories. One strength I had with blogging every week was easily connecting to my book and others books, when I commented on other peoples blogs that had the same interests as me it was easy for me to connect with them so that was one strength I had. I guess in the end you could say commenting four times was strength for me and at sometimes a struggle.

Other books by LC & a Recommendation

 These are 3 of her other books plus the one i am currently reading . They are all part of a serious exept for the style one.

I looked though the Lauren Conrad Style book and it is mostly about her style and how to dress and be like her. If you are a girl looking for great new fun style and outfits and hair ideads i really recommen this book to you. You will be looking ready to go out or party or anything with this fun fashion book by LC.

Lauren Conrads books

I have looked into other books by lauren conrad and they are all based on the story line the two girls moving to LA and basically their life. The other books are just a continouse going on about how the girls make it and there life story and what happens to them good and bad decsions they make. So i found out that it is a novel with around 3 or 4 books in the serious i dont know if i will read the others because the book is starting to get a little slower and not as exciting and fast past as before.

Analysis

The setting of L.A Candy is in L.A i know this bedcause the title of the book is L.A Candy. Also because the  author Lauren Conrad Says in the following quote "In fact, thats why we moved to L.A. after doing the back packing around the world." (Conrad,4)
       I can infer that Janie is sweet and Scarlett is a little rude and maybe inconsiderite. I can infer thsi because of the following quote " who the hell are you !"(conrad,2) she doesnt even know the person and is always cusing and screaming at him/her .

Tone and mood post

The tone of my book L.A. Candy by Lauren Conrad is relaxed easy going and just fun ! It's a book that you can just read for pleasure and not oh we'll I guess I have to read for school. It's a fun filled easy going layed back kinda of care free book.
  The mood of my book L.A. Candy by Lauren Conrad  happy or like relatable if that is a word because these girls are teenagers and I feel like I can relate!so when I read this book I'm happy and feel like I could do anything really.
  On page 12 Scarlett uses a playfull and fun tone and says " come on Janie, lets go out and shop around it will be good for you!" She was not very serious but she still was very persuasive and in the end convinced Jane to go with her to shop and put on the town that night.

Reading skills (Redo)

In my book L.A candy the two bestfriends move into there new place, when JAne talks about her friend always brinign home guy friends she tells us tehy can never find their way back to her room and always end up kncking on the wrong door. My question is that when Jane is talking about her best friend she calls her Scarlett. BUt then when the guys yell her name trying to find her they call her Cassandra. So does scarlett give them the wrong name. Is there more than two people leaving in the house, like is there three friends and not two. Or is scarlett maybe a nickname that Jane has called her forever because it says thatt they have been bestfriends for a long time. I know i have had a few friedns that i have been bestfriedns with for a long time, but like them you would never know what the neckname meant because its nothing like their real name and thast how me and my friends are. ALso once i read a book called Aquamarin and they named her and they just kind if made up the girls name because she was a mermaid and she didnt have a name so they called her aquamarine and it didnt reallly have a purposse they just kind of made it up si its like how Jane made up her name Scarlett and her real name isnt scarlett and this grils wasnt aquamarine. Also in this book They move to LA and my aunts bestfriend , Marie moved to LA 2 years ago to start a fashion line and work with fashion just like jane and scarlett moved there for the high end fashion.

Characters

My book so far is incredible i love love love it! One of the main characters Jane is a flat character she has not devolped in any way and we only know half her story we just know she moved to LA. The other character Scarlett has started to change we know about her family and her friends at home nad even her previosu realtionships. We know that she doesnt like to be in love and have long relationships that last. In the begging she was a flat character but now she is turning and devopling into a round character because her bad qualitys are that she cant keep a relationship and she doenst wnat to but she does have good characters. She really cares about jane and what she does nad is very pertective ovre her so she is an amazing friend to ajne or janie as she calls her. Scarlett really interacts with people well and doesnt come off as a negitvie person and is very outgoing. Janie on the other hand is shy and not as outgoing so she cant really talk to people without getting nervous or shy and stop tlaking. Janie does make the plot propel though because she advances in other things like talking to Scarlett about all the boys and scarlettt propels the plot by keep getting boys !

GTA5

The other day I read an article about how a man in some weird city I have never even heard of already completed GTA5 or grand theft auto 5. That's crazy this one man already passed all leaves. He obviously has no life if he can just sit around and do that the whole time. I personally wouldn't have the time or patients to do it all.

Cant stop reading lauren conrads book

All though I just started reading this book by Lauren Conrad I love it ! its exciting none stop and keeps me wanting to read I cant stop. You never know what choice the two best friends will make next. you just have to keep reading or you will never know. Between there classy high fashion reality TV show life and trying to be normal on the streets it must be hard. If you like fashion and reality TV shows you must must read this book by Lauren Conrad its fantastic.

L.A. Candy by lauren Conrad book recommendation

My book is called L.A. Candy By Lauren Conrad and I think every girl or boy out there should read this book. I hate to say it but personally I really don't like reading. this book is actually good and is making me want to read more. It about these two girls that move to L.A wanting everything the dream life the boys and of coarse designer items. The girls think they are going to be living it up the dream life. Will tables turn and everything wanted  or will they have to take a step back and move back to Santa Barbra. While just moving in to there place they get asked to star in their OWN TV show. So they are really living it up with all their designer stuff and boys. Will this job be good for them or will they have to quite and start back at the bottom. I highly recommend reading this book.

Speechless

     In my book Speechless Chelsea develops a lot over the course of the text . in the beginning of the book Chelsea is snobby, rude, stuck up, popular and everyone looks up to her and her friends and wants to be interacted with their group of friends. Towards the middle/end of the book people started to hate her and think she was rude and a brat. Everyone stopped talking to her and she was left with no friends and no one looked up to her. All because of one stupid little mistake of telling a few people a secret witch lead to violence. After the matter Chelsea had to take matters into her own hands and decide whether or not to report to the police what happened or not. Chelsea chose what was best for most people. She ended up having no friends and no one to interact with forcing her to take a value of silence and not to anyone because no one would talk to her. So Chelsea went from popular and everyone to hang out with and talk to, to no friends and no one to talk to being forced to take a spiritual value of silence.


My  Speechless article or book talk someone was talking about was describing the different points and conflicts throughout the book . Also they talked about just the main idea and theme and when Chelsea takes silence and everything changes in her life.
