Dear Diary

Today, I just received the worst news. For the last year, my dream has been to escort Miranda to Paris for fashion week… That bloody new girl, just comes along and acts like she owns the place. Because of her, not only am I not going to Paris anymore, But I have ended up in hospital. I will never forgive her for this.

I have had the worst week in my life, I mean, this is totally out of the blue, I didn’t even see Andy as a threat, and she was always loyal to me. I bet this was all a game, she had planned this all along… what else am I supposed to think? It’s not supposed to be like this.

I feel embarrassed for Miranda, I mean… what does she see in Andy? Her fashion style ‘was’ appalling, and she is so immature, I don’t know why she even hired her in the first place, but that, I coped with, now I am just so mad. If I had never helped her in the first place, she would be fired already, and I would still be going to Paris… If only I could take back time :(


I will get revenge….

Love always… xoxo — Emily!

Kayne West - Gold Digger

In the song Gold digger, Women are portrayed in a negitive way which reflects that we are: Gold diggers, Slutty, Flawless, and have no self respect. However, this is not true. Not all women are like this, and like the women seen in the videoclip, not every girl looks like this perfect image. The girls seen have no identity because they have all been edited to look and be seen in the same way.

Atticus' influence

Do you think that Tom would be given the same type of treatment?

Do you think that the trial would have followed the same type of course?

Do you think that Mayella and Bob Ewell would have been treated differently in the court room?

Do you think the trial would have gone ahead? (Think about the lead up to the trial and how Atticus has to sit in front of the jail during the night)

If the trial did go ahead, do you think that the jury would have taken so long to make its decision?

Do you think the people in Maycomb County would have payed so much attention to the trial if Atticus was not defending Tom?

SHOW DONT TELL - exercise.

The reward that the hero was given was very valuable. It would allow the hero to continue protecting the less fortunate.

Tom had worked hard, and the effort he had put in to save his city was well worth his effort. He had been rewarded a prise, which was very unexpected. The Town had called a meeting, and as everyone gathered in the town hall. Tom waited nervously for his prise to be rewarded. After a speech of thanks, the town Maier finally presented him with his reward. The town maier, who was tall and skinny man pulled a tiny box out of his poket, and handed it to Tom. Tom stood still and slowly opened the box, and

TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD – WEBSEARCH

Dear Pen Pal, 5/6/34

I am so thankful to have you to write to, you seem to be the only 'white' that cares about me.

Not only are my family and I suffering from poor living conditions, we have to put up with being discriminated. My Mother, Father, two Brothers, and I, live in only a two bedroom house, with no electricity, no appliances, and a small amount of furniture. We cannot leave the house feeling accepted, as we walk down the streets, we get stared at by the 'Whites' and they call out names and make us feel helpless. Mum is full time working for a 'White' family in the higher classed part of town. Dad is also a slave. My brothers and I only see Mum and Dad for a few hours at night before we go off to our stone cold beds. Waking up is the hardest part of the day, because the hardest is still to come. We know we will experience being discriminated again, just like always. My Brothers and I all get very restless at home, and love being able to go out and play in the park, something you would be able to do everyday, but for us, it’s not that easy. The parks are very restricted; most of them have access for 'Whites' only. If we did go to a park where we were allowed, we would only be abused and discriminated, and forced to leave. So whilst we are at home, we play games in the house, but now that my brothers are getting older, they don’t like to play with me as much. My favorite thing to do, is play with my one toy which I have had since I was 3, my doll, which is pretty much fallen apart.

Book Review 4:

I have just finished the book Speckey Magee. It is the last book released in the series so far, so untill the next book is released, i will start reading the book from the series Gossip Girl. I also find this good because i know the caracters, and their back ground. The Book i have is from the first series in the movies. The book is very similar to the tv series, so i can mostley predict what is going to happen. I will have to put this book aside for a while while i start reading our book for english class 'To Kill A Mockingbird' but when i have finished reading this book for class, i will continue to read my Gossip Girl book.
