I'm writing a story about 5 friends named Valerie Mackenzie,Chloe,Chelsea and Autumn can u help me start it!

Perhaps you could start it with something going on... they%26#039;re at the mall, someone%26#039;s making fun of one of them and the others stick up for her, etc. Don%26#039;t do the whole, long description thing at the beginning. Describe everyone and everything in little snippets. If you put the entire description of them all at once, it will be really boring, and everyone will probably stop reading right then and there.





Good luck with your new story!

Generally, to make it interesting, start in the middle. Don%26#039;t begin the story in a way it sounds like a beginning. They%26#039;re already doing something and you just happened to invisibly slide in beside them and start writing from there. (I didn%26#039;t mean that figuretivly but start from the middle). If you notice, children%26#039;s stories generally have a structured beginning, middle and ending. Since it sounds like Young Adult or YA as we librarians say, you don%26#039;t want to write down to your audience since I%26#039;m assuming your target audience will be readers approximately your age.

The last Friday of every month is a day to be dreaded. Every floor must be vacuumed, every couch and chair dustless, and every bed made so tight that a nickle can bounce a foot when dropped with little force. Twenty-two orphans must be washed and in good humor ; and all twenty-two must be reminded to use their best manners, and say %26quot;Yes Ma%26#039;am%26quot;, %26quot;No Sir%26quot;, whenever a potential adoptive parent comes through and addresses them individually. Yes, the last Friday of every month is Visiting Day.





(This is the best I could come up with on short notice...lol...hope it helps alittle.)
Reply:Here is something you might consider:





Valerie decided to visit a park near her home. It was a mild spring day and the wind brought the scent of orange blossoms from the groves surrounding the park in Southern California. Valerie was about to turn fifteen years of age, her hair was the color of a ravens%26#039; wing, her sad eyes were the color of emeralds and her oval ivory face wore an exited look. She was sitting on a steel bench that felt good on her bare legs for she was wearing shorts. She saw her Friends walking towards her and she heard the happy giggling and small talk and her heart felt warm.

elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin is good - it%26#039;s a bit of a fantasy but it really makes you think





private peaceful is good





the curious incident of the dog in the nighttime is very inspiring and gives you a very good insight into autism





hope that helped :)
Reply:The Invention of Hugo Cabret. you will fall in love with silent movies. its a unique book. although it has more pictures than words, the experience while reading it is superb!
Reply:Try %26quot;The Outsiders%26quot;
Reply:Chuck Palahniuk. His books made me realize so much about life and myself. Not to mention his writing is brilliant. I am now reading my fifth book by him...I can%26#039;t put his stories down! Try %26quot;Choke%26quot; or %26quot;Invisible Monster%26quot;. If those don%26#039;t catch your eye, try %26quot;Diary%26quot;.
Reply:Pictures of Hollis Woods is a spectacular book.
Reply:One of the most life changing books I have ever read is called %26quot;The secret Journal of Brett Colton.%26quot; It is about a girl and her brother died from cancer when she was 2. She doesn%26#039;t remember him or anything but her family acts like he is some sort of God. They are always talking about how amazing he was at everything he did. She gets really sick of always hearing about him and starts hating him. Then on her 16th birthday her mother gives her an envelope. Inside is a letter to her from her older brother saying that she was his inspiration to keep on fighting his cancer because he loved her so much. In the letter it tells her were to find a journal that he wrote for her while he was battleing cancer. Mean while she is falling in love with a boy from school. It is FANTASTIC!!! I really think you should read it:)

Help with Roger in Lord of the Flies?

In Chapter 1, Roger is the one who brings up the option of having a vote to elect a chief. What does this reveal about Roger?
Help with Roger in Lord of the Flies?
Roger feels secure in a controlled atmosphere where he makes the rules and therefore knows what to expect and can determine the out come.
Help with Roger in Lord of the Flies?
Roger reflects the %26quot;civilized%26quot; part of our nature. He is one of the few who believe that order and laws should govern the group of boys and the conch was the only symbol of civility.
Reply:I disagree. I think Roger is the most savage of all the boys. The fact that he brings up the option of having a vote to elect for chief, shows us how confident he is that Jack will win.

Catcher in the rye/ marching band?

hey guys! so i%26#039;m doing this project for catcher in the rye for english. we%26#039;re suppose to make an abstract representation of Holden%26#039;s brain. Some people are doing like a car, or like Disneyland or something and i was thinking of doing Marching band. I%26#039;ve got most of what things could represent but I%26#039;m still not quite sure on others. So far I have:


-Marching band = Holden鈥檚 Brain


-Drum Major = leads the band, makes all the major decisions


-Woodwinds =


-Brass =


-Color guard = his imagination, brings his creativity and acting out


-Percussion =


-Field Show = His Life鈥?going through it


-Drill Downs = tests his endurance, when he messes up is equal toHolden messing up once not doing something right (getting kicked out of school)


-Competitions = Obstacles he goes through





obviously the ones without ideas next to it are the ones I cant think of. If any of you have good ideas please help me =] or if you have better Ideas than what i already have feel free 2 say. Thanks
Catcher in the rye/ marching band?
Percussion - that still small voice in him that he sometimes listens to and sometimes doesn%26#039;t
Catcher in the rye/ marching band?
Woodwinds- the high notes, often the melody represent his good side- of wanting to protect his sister and innocence of the world


Brass- the deep and often heavy timbre of the instruments demonstrate Holden%26#039;s heavy stress brought upon by himself and partly others- the reasons why he thinks everyone is hypocritical and his passionate anger at the world ( the time when he hurt his hand( fist ) when his brother died


Percussion- sometimes percussion instruments have an effect of leading the audience to anticipate an occurrence, but sometimes no major changes or astonishing events followed- this can represent the developments of Holden%26#039;s mind towards the end of the novel in which he expressed that he suddenly felt happy watching Phoebe in the rain and as Phoebe gave him a kiss- however, it is clear that he did not really mature at the end, at least not to a great extent

Reply:This fantastically romantic parody of a skewered love triangle will have readers and watchers (of the performance) on the edge of their seats, waiting for more, and rooting for the duo protagonists from the moment the two lay eyes on each other.
