Eavesdropping

1.
I) where did you go? 
- we went around the janitor room and the hairstyling room to see what the adult were talking about as appose to what kids our age would say 
II) how long did you listen to the conversation?
- we listened to the janitors for about 5 minutes and the hairstylists for about 4 minutes 
III) who was is between?
-it was between 3 janitors and a hairstylist and someone getting their haircut 
IV) how did it feel to be recording the conversation? 
-creepy lol 

2. What insists did you gain about the way people speak?

we noticed that the janitors were pretty opinionated and the third janitor wasn't very talk-a-tive and just more listened, the first janitor wouldn't take a advice and both insisted that there point of view was right.

3. How can you apply this to your writing ? 
This can apply to your writing by giving perspectives of people you may not interact with on a daily basis and give a realistic point of view about a character you may be writing about.

4.how is personality and character released though conversation/dialogue?

You can tell a lot about some ones personality about how they talk in there conversation. Like for example one of the janitors was very persistent and had to be right so you can kind of assume that that is always his personality. And the one janitor didn't talk to much so you can kind of assume he's more of a wall flower.

5. What happens when more than two people participate in a conversation? 

It seems that two people more take over the conversation ad the third person kind of lays back and listens more, the third person with the janitors chimed in every once and a whole but not nearly as much as the first two

6. What was the most surprising thing you've learned about the way people converse? 

I learned that different people converse very similar to the way me and my friends converse, I thought that the hairstylists and janitors would interact a lot different then I'm used to but the conversations were very similar. I think people unviversally talk very similar 

7 what are the differences between spoken conversation and written conversation? 

Spoken conversation makes it easier to inderstand what the person is saying and how they're trying to convey their message because you can physically see and hear the body language and tone of the speech, something you can't with written text

Hunting trip

Just came back from hunting, my dad got a buck and my cousin got two, me and my brother didn't shoot any but we can go any time now cause me and him are officially métis. We can get deer anytime of the year and twice as many as an average joe so I'm pretty pumped. I might not have gotten a deer this weekend  but on the bright side I didn't have to do any work on my science project that's now finished

Laundry mat of horror writing prompt

A pale green light was the only thing keeping the building from complete darkness. Spider webs and dust covered the walls and John was overcome with a smell of rotting fruit, he didn't know why but for some reason he was compelled to keep moving forward into the laundry mat, he has no idea why he came to this laundry mat or even how he got there. The only thing john can focus on now is his surroundings. As he walks down the empty aisle he feels a chiver crawl up his spine slowly like frozen spiders. His heart is beating so hard against his chest  that he can almost hear it. finally he decides to turn around and leave when something catches his eye, he turns around quickly to see what it was but nothing was there, he waits a second and looks around to make sure that what he saw was just his mind playing tricks on him. At that point the blood had left his finger tips and his knees started to shake. Then he heard something. A scratching sound like a person scratching there skin along with a subtle soft banging. He realized the noise was coming from a dryer. Fear and sickness over came him but still he slowly arched his back to see what was inside. As he slumped slower an slower towards the window, he started to lose all feeling, he could no longer feel the cold air on his neck nor the rotten smell of laundry mat. Just john and the window in a room of darkness. Finally his eyes met the window. John couldn't remember what he saw in the dryer. He couldn't even remember if the laundry mat was real. All he could remember was the smell of rotten fruit and the pale green light of the laundry mat that his friends say never existed

Hunting

Going hunting this weekend. Im super excited, im going with my dad, brother and a few other guys. Last year I shot a buck the first time I went out. it was pretty awesome. It was so cold that the best part about the trip was sticking my hands inside the deer to gut it because it was -30 and the deer entrails were so warm. Im pretty pumped.

Sold us the island for 5 dollars

Obviously they sold us the island for five dollars because something terrible has inhabited the island and the people on the island have to feed the moster or it will swim to civilization and start destroying all of the people on earth. But little did the people selling us the island know that me and my 6 friends have abilities.. special abilitities, not to be tampered with. half of us can shape shift and the other half have the power of telacanesis. But since there's seven of us one of the people didn't have powers because that wouldnt be fair to either side so Jared is just a regular guy. but once we got on the island little did we know that the island wass actually  the monster and everytime we said a word with an f or a q in it, it would slowey start to eat our feet until we were dead. Jared died first, half of us flew away cause we could shape shift into birds and the people with telacanisis all combined there powers and convinced the island to kill its self with a gigantic hand gun. then everyone was saved, except Jared, he didnt make it. Oh well.

five-dollar island

minions

I would ng make them build me everything I wanted, they would steal the material and I would ask for things. Firstly I would get them to make me a chair, but not just any old chair but a grand chair meant for a king. It would have a tv built into it and it would also have a soda machine and it would be awesome. Also I would get them to carry out my bidding like sabatoging people so I could further persue the things I want to persue. And at the end of the week we would have this huge party and everyone would be invited and the minions would have to pay for it with money they've aquirred. Oh and they would all be wearing suits and glasses like the men in black. and they would follow me around like my entorage and if any one tried to mess with me they would have to deal with my minions. Oh and they would make my pizza whenever I asked.

Prisoners

I just saw the movie prisoners recently,
It was a little dry at parts but all in all a sick movie. I think hugh Jackman did a really good job but jake jillanhall was by far the best actor
