4th Post. Hooray...

Hello there. This is my fourth post this quarter. Here I go. So as I said earlier, I am done with my “Speak” book, and now am I moving on to my “The Tenth Circle” book. I haven’t gotten a really good start on the novel yet but so far it talks about how Trixie is a straight A student and how she is the perfect kid. Trixie Stone is fourteen years old and she is in love for the first time. She's also the light of her father's life, a freshman in high school who is pretty and popular. She also always looked up to Daniel Stone, her dad, as a hero. Because of this, I don’t like Trixie. Just kidding, I don’t mind her, and I know already that she is going to be raped soon so I feel bad for her. Anyways, I was reading this and then wondering if Trixie’s last name “Stone” has anything to do with her or her family’s character. Does it represent that they are hard and cold as stone? Or maybe that they are strong and almost unbreakable? I don’t know yet. Maybe it doesn’t have anything to do with the story at all. I’ll read more about it and get back to it later. Last Thursday I was in charge of the Pumpkin Pie and I had to make it from scratch, so my mom gave me a HUGE long cooking recipe on how to make the dough and everything else. I read it out carefully, and if you didn’t make the dough just right, it could mess up completely. I hate baking things like this because there is too much pressure. Cooking should fun, easy, and enjoyable. Plus it was annoying how I couldn’t do it all at once, but instead had to do one thing, freeze it, do another thing, wait some more, do another thing, let it bake, and so on. It just all in all took way to long. Hopefully next year I’ll be able to cook something else that will be more fun to do.
