Graphic Freakin Novels

A graphic novel is something like a comic book. It includes pictures and writing. A conventional book is a boring book with just writing. I would much rather read a graphic novel then a conventional novel

Being a loser

When I hang out with my girlfriend and her friends tag along. I really don't feel like I fit in, but that's because I hate her friends. So they make me uncomfortable. TRUE

The Namesake

The train was pretty interesting, or at least how the husband died. The labor part was the main topic though, although I didn't care for it much. But that is what the beginning of the book will be about until the mom finally names her son.

Names are Lame

I don't think I would be different if I had a different name. I think you act the way you are raised rather then the way your named. The only thing the name can change is other peoples perspective

Colonialism

When one culture puts down another they are colonizing that culture. For example when Columbus founded America he colonized the natives.

Reading and movies

They both are written. And they both also have a story and a plot between the two. But the few differences are that one is visual while for a book you may need a imagination

Warm up

The conclusion is when you restate the thesis. And yeah....

Writing poem

Pencils to typing.
Emotions to imagination
Stories to truths
Problems and issues its all so exciting
These are the things that come up when your writing!

I learned that a good thesis statement is getting your statement point across. But you need to sound confident with your reasoning. Otherwise the thesis won't sound so strong.
