Point of View

Are You For Real? Point of View

I see a movie playing in the movie theater. The movie theater shows sadness, happiness, madness, and more feeling in the same time.

I hear the clocking ticking tired of being ticked, and the ticking sound was a bit quieter than before.

I feel the refrigerator in the mart mild being touched by many people. I seems like hot for the refrigerator.

I fear mailbox because i'm so thin that it would swallow me. I seems like it wants to eat me.

I wish to drive a car, and the car would travel around the world.

I like to snow shoes, it keeps me warm in the winters. It seems like, "I have to carry this fat guy around the whole winter? Ugh!"

I love my game! I pulled out my game and turned it on. The game says, "Have fun!" Then the batteries out! Before it said, "I'm dying... (Turned off)" I plugged the game in a started playing again. The game whispers, "This guy doesn't know how painful I was before I died. Sad. Also this guy looks like he ignoring me..." The guy finally noticed me. He apologized and had fun again.

Tone & Mood

Fond Memories Tone&Mood

1. Example: The most discouraging of all was my neighbor John. He has already tried and failed at the drums.

Page: 40

Explanation: Because it's funny. You tried the drums once and you gave up. His disgusted face will be funny.

2. Example: John brought every "do-it-yourself" guitar lesson available. He collected books, magazines, CDs, software, you name it. He practiced every day but nothing worked. John couldn't play anything! Oh, he could play a little bit of one song, and a tiny bit of another.

Page: 41

Explanation: He could play any instrument! That's funny. The most funny part is that he could play easy songs. Everybody could play that! John being a newbie is just so funny.

I sat on a chair with a desk to eat my lunch. Just before I was about eat, eeww! An ugly woman is staring at me. I told my friends, "Ugh... I don't like this seat, there's like a weird woman looking at me... I feel uncomfortable. All my friend just started laughing. What's so funny? I just don't like that woman! They laughed more.

A Change in Mood Tone&Mood

Scary or Sad Events: Oliver Twist was born in a poorhouse, where his mother died. He fed the boys on very thin gruel and gave them very little of that. Everyone was horrified, and poor Oliver was beaten and shut up in a little room where he could meditate on his sin. Oliver had been six days on the London road when he limped into the little town of Barnet.

Funny and Amusing Events: "Stop thief!" too, joined in pursuit like good citizens. The butcher throws down his tray. Away they run, pell-me, helter-skelter, slap-dash. Knocking down the passengers as they turn the corners. Stop thief, Stop thief! This was only one of the adventures of Oliver Twist.

Twenty years before, the smell of boiling syrup that now filled her kitch would have drawn her small children form all the corners of the farm C.
