Red 2.0

I'm glad I am posting this after class, because I ended up going to dinner with Maggie this evening, and something she said totally related to the book: it reminded her a lot of the school play, and how it seemed like the girls in both the book and play were whining about life. This seemed very interesting to me- though I thought the same thing, I never related it to the play.

Now, there were instances in which this "whining" was appropriate, but for the most part, it was just a bunch of girls whining about what they hated in their life. As much as I like reading, I don't like to read non-fiction. I did appreciate the book, but I just needed a plot and one specific character to follow. This book reminded me a lot of a case study, which is exactly what our school play was- Reviving Ophelia.

I totally wouldn't have chosen that play, first of all, because the boy character was a jerk, and second because I don't think the audience likes to hear about a bunch of depressing stories. I totally understand why the book ties into our class, and I did like some of the stories, but for the most part, I just had a hard time paying attention. Again, I'm willing to bet it's because the book is non-fiction.

I like books like Part-Time Indian. =D

My Young Adult Novel

My novel would be amazing, because I'm awesome! It would be about my life, from birth to present day. I would tell my most awesomest stories (which is pretty much every single story I have to tell), so it would be pretty long. I would totally use the illustration method that Alexie uses in his novels, because I think it makes for a more interesting read. Also, I would do the illustrations myself, because why hire someone to do it for me and have to split my profits with them? LAME!

I would use my experiences from my life and they would be relatable to teens because I feel that the way I write is pretty relatable to people. It is easy to read and I tell it "like it is." Therefore, it will be an easy read for everyone.

Kids and adults would totally buy my book because it would be critically acclaimed on all of the Best Seller lists. I would probably write it like I normally write, which is humorous. It may have some bad words and some parts that would make it banned in high schools, but it would be okay and probably allowed to be read because I am awesome and my book would be so good! And of course we can't forget that Hollywood would come knocking at my door for rights to the movie! I would probably want to write the screenplay as well though, because my life can't be summarized. There would definitely be sequels. And Britney Spears would be in my movie because she's awesome and talented! =D
