Summer Plans.....

My plans for this summer are to go camping! Every summer my whole family gets together and we all go camping at Detroit Lake! We always go to Hoover campground. I really love it there because its really nice being outdoors. I sleep in a tent with my children and everybody else has trailers. I think there is no fun in camping if your going to sleep in a trailer. Some other things we do while camping are boating. We don't own one, but we always rent one and it's so much fun! Most of the guys in the family just go fishing all day. I love to go hiking in the woods and find crazy things. One time I saw deer, and I took a picture of it. Seeing the deer was really cool because I was close to it. After lunch time there everybody takes naps. During nap time I'm going to read my book! There is nothing like reading a book with the sound of the wilderness! During summer I'm also going to be going to summer school here! That's going to be a blast too! I love coming to school because it's my get away from my kids, and I'm improving my reading skills at the same time! So that's my summer!

May And Me.....

May in this book relates to me because she gets all depressed easy. After her sister died she got all sensitive. Well for me after my grandma died I get really mad, or sad easy. I was really close with my grandma. Since she has passed away little things get to me. I'm also very sensitive because I grew up with my mom and step-dad. I never got to know my real dad until now. I get so depressed to the point where I think my life sucks, but in the end everything turns out going better. I'm unlike May because she decided to end her life by committing suicide. That's just something I don't think I would ever do. It comes to mind but I would never succeed with it because I just think of my kids, and what I would put them through if I committed suicide. I could never do such a thing to my children.

Prediction......

When Lily tells August the truth about herself and Rosaleen, I think August will be upset that she lied the whole time. I also think that August is hiding some things about her Lily's mom, so they both just spit out everything. Then maybe August tells Lily a little something about her mom, maybe shows her the stuff she has there.

Shaneisa Green....

I know this girl named Shaneisa Green. She is like my cousin because her grandma fostered my real dad years ago. She is 20 years old just like me. Her mom, Greta Green was also a real close friend of my mom's. They both went to McNary High School together and bullied kids. Shaneisa is so close to me now. Even though we are not blood related, we still tell people we are blood cousins. We are always hanging out together. If somebody messes with me or looks at me in the wrong way my close friend Shaneisa is always there for me. I am the only girl of 4 brothers, so she is like my sister too! I love her to death and she loves me to death. We can both count on each other whenever!

Evaluation.....

What's The Best Part About The Book?

The best part about this book is how detailed the author is as she writes this book. When Becca reads out loud I can imagine all these pictures in my head. It's also good that Lily broke Rosaleen out of the hospital and traveled to South Carolina. Then they met August, and she let them stay there. That was really nice of her.

Whats The Worst Thing About The Book?

The worst part of the book was when Rosaleen got beaten by those men. I think that's just wrong of those men to do that to her. What gets to me is that the officer didn't do anything to stop them.

The Personality Of May Boatwright.....

May Boatwright's personality is very sensitive. She always cries. She also puts notes between rocks of her emotions and feelings at the wailing wall. Sometimes August has to calm her down by talking to her or by giving her baths. May really acts like she has extra strong feelings, and like it's her way or the highway. I think the way she acts has a lot to do with the death of her sister. When May gets mad or sad she always starts to sing the song, "Oh Susana," and walks away. When May cries, she cries like bloody Mary. Other than that I think May is a nice person.

My Wonderful Weekend In The Sun!!!!!!!!

During the long, sunny weekend I had a blast! On Friday after school I went home and hung out with my sister in law and niece! We just played with the kids, and talked about life, and boys! Then she ended up staying the night with me. We stayed awake almost the whole night talking. Then on Saturday we decided to go swimming in the pool at my apartments. We took our kids swimming and we swam with them. We had so much fun, and so did our kids! Then on Sunday we just relaxed, and watched some movies. We also organized my house because I just moved there last weekend. On Monday, my mom text me about a family barbecue at her house at 2, so we got the kids ready, and ourselves, and went to my moms house! All my family showed up and we started to cook. We had carne asada, macaroni salad, green salad, potato salad, my uncles homemade hamburgers, hot dogs, and fajitas! The food was great! We all played family games like dodge ball, red rover red rover, and some bean bag game my uncle bought. I really liked it because everybody played even my aunts and uncles and parents and cousins! Family get togethers really bring us all closer!
