Q-Q-C

In Lean Mean Thirteen by Stephanie Plum, I choose this quote.

Q- "The Diggerys were like feral cats. They scattered into the woods behind their home the minute a car stopped in the driveway."

Q- One of the main questions I have for this quote was, why do they hide all the time? I mean I know they are always getting arrested, but they must be doing something way worse then what everyone else thinks they are doing. Because they tell you that they are arrested because they get drunk and disrupt things. But if they all HIDE, then it must be something worse, right?

C- I just liked this quote because it sounded funny to me and i really liked the authors use of the metaphor. At least I think it is a metaphor, or maybe a simile. And it left kind of a cliff hanger as to whether or not there is more to the Diggerys or not.

Q-Q-C

From Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen

Q- "For a long moment nothing happened. The bird stood there, wings outstretched, with me only a short distance away, my heart thumping in my ears. I could hear cars passing on the street, a door slamming somewhere a few yards over. But all around us, it was nothing but still."

Q- Why did the world sop for this one moment?

C- It was a good paragraph because of the descriptions. It really got to me when I read it.

What is Media?!

I think media is everything that advertises something. It can be commercials, poster boards, or magazines. It lets people know about something they didn't know about before :) Its the product name you see on things, and its pretty much everywhere in the world now.
