Secret (not real though lol)

Dear close friend,

     This weekend I decided I have a secret I should probably share with you. I know you'll probably be upset with me but it is important to me that I get it off my chest because I'm sick of feeling this way. It in some respects has to do with you getting in trouble last week... Remember the day you snuck out in the middle of the night to go to that one party? Well yeah, it kinda has to do with that day. Well see when you told me that night that you had just snuck out to that party, I got kinda worried of what could happen especially since you did not know anyone at the party you were going too. Then you told me about how you meet that 25 year old guy who tried to give you a ride home.. It all just was horrifying to me to think of all the possible things that could go wrong while your out at some strangers house for a party you just randomly heard about. Basically what I'm trying to tell you is I am the one who told your mom that you snuck out to go to a random party with a strangers. I know you are probably really mad hearing this but I did it because I care about you and you are my best friend. It feels so much better to get my secret off my chest.. I really hope that you can understand my reasonings for ratting you out and that hopefully you forgive me really soon because your my best friend and I care for you. 

                                                                                                                 Sincerely your best friend,

                                                                                                                                Adrianna

Rejection

A situation in which an individual might feel rejected is when they are trying to ask a teacher a question in class but other students keep talking over them. This can make the person feel rejected because it might seem as if they are not important enough to be listened to and get their concern across respectively without being interrupted. I know personally how it feels to be in that situation because I struggle in math class, but I am not the only one. When everyone is struggling they all want to get clarification on what they do not understand, but this can become hard in the classroom setting. When a person is struggling  in a subject this can make the situation seem bigger then it really is. By being talked over, this can leave the student feeling frustrated, angry, and overall rejected. This feeling of rejection can come because they might feel as if the teacher does not notice them in the classroom, or not notice them enough to dedicate one on one time to them. 

Gothic Novels

In my opinion when it comes to gothic literature, supernatural is the most effective. I think that supernatural brings upon the most suspense, when the reader is alert to something horrific happening. Supernatual I feel also leaves memories and the element of being scared. Many novels now a days are later turned into a movie, in which the movie emphasizes suspense and horror. A good example of suspense in supernatural would be in the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. Victor goes back his home town and while walking through the park, he sees something lurking in the darkness. This while reading the novel created suspense and brought more interest to me of reading on in the story. Events like this in story help give the reader a better mental picture of what is happening and also leave a memory for the reader to remember. Personally it is easier for me to recall scenes of horror then scenes of action and atmosphere. 

Opening- Mary Shelley

In the novel Frankenstein, Mary Shelley starts off by having four letters that give the reader some background knowledge on the characters. In the letters we are introduced to a man named Robert Walton who is on a ship traveling to try and discover a new passage to the Northern Pacific, while traveling Walton finds a "stranger" who is traveling trying to share his story to those who are willing to listen. Walton and the stranger end up having a lot in common with each other which brings comfort to Walton because he has felt alone on the ship he is traveling on. Even though the ship has a whole crew , the crew is very ignorant and oblivious to such knowledge unlike Walton is. This to me was an effective way to start off the novel because it gave the reader some sense of things that had previously occurred and also some insight into some of the characters. If I was to write a horror story I think I would start the book off with some kind of text to indicate the main characters past. I would do this in a way that did not make any sense at all so as the reader began reading the actual novel everything would come together, making my novel much more interesting and all together a great book to read. Maybe I would do letters such as Mary Shelley did or I might do it in another creative way such as in cassette tapes that are being recorded for the reader to read. I got this idea from the book The Thirteen Reasons (cannot think of author right now). No matter what I decided to be the opening to my book I would make sure it is very interesting and creative to draw the reader into the story.

NO Electronics

If there was no electronics anymore I would spend all my time with the people I care about most. I would spend my days playing with my son, teaching him to play with his toys and sit up, I would also read to him all day long. Along with dedicating all my time to my son I would also spend time with my family and boyfriend. I would play games with my brothers and just hang out with them and I would talk with my grandma and spend time with her to try to work out our differences. While I was spending time with Jayden I would also spend time with his dad Anthony. Anthony is my bestfriend and our son is our world so it would work out perfectly. I would never have to miss any of my family because I would also we with them. As long as I have those people with me I would not even mind no electronics because they are all the people my life revolves around anyways :)

Diffucult Expectations

A time I was expected to do something was when my granndma told me a couple weeks ago she was going on a buisness trip with her boss. I agreed to help babysit but I did not know I would be doing it all on my own. She did not give me much information until a couple days before, she said she was going to be gone for three days and for those three days she needed me to take care of my three brothers, the house, my son, and myself. This would not be as hard if I was not also going to school and starting a new job all at the same time. I tried to talk to her and explain that this was too much for me, that I thought I really needed someone in my family to help out or atleast be there for me if I needed soemthing. After talking to her for awhile she finally realized how I felt and asked my uncle and his fiance if they could please help me out. They agreed that they would keep the younger two, which are two eleven year old twin boys for those three days. Granted they will come home after school but then my uncle's fiance will pick them up after work and take them home with her. They will be the ones responsible for getting them up and off to school in the morning and also getting homework done and getting them to bed at night. This was a major relief hearing this because although I am sure I could of handled it all on my own if I had to, I am under less stress knowing they will be taken care of my someone other then me. Now I can relax a little more knowing all I am responsible for now is school, work, my son Jayden, and my fourteen year old brother Carlos.

Broken Promises

Ever since we were young kids my cousin, Alex and I, had always been really close. She was my bestfriend and we did everythihng together. That all changed though because she broke her promise that she would always be here for me through anything and everything. It all changed when I had my son Jayden. When I first found out I was pregnant she immedialely wanted to be his godmother and would text me everyday about him. It was exciting for me to know that she was still by my side even after she knew I was pregnant at 16 years old. Even though she would text me alot, I never really saw her though. She was always on and off with her boyfriend and it seemed that everytime they were on good terms I did not exist but as soon as they were fighting she would coming running to me. It was in those times that they were fighting that she would suddenly text me and want to come over. After awhile I became smarter and realized the game she was playing with me, so I eventually moved on and found someone who would be there for me no matter what the circumstances were. After all I was to become a mother soon and I could no longer waste my time on people that did not matter. My son is my world and no one comes before him. In my opinion as long as a mother has her children she does not need anyone else <3
