Authors note: This diary entry is by a character named Izzy, in my groups book, My Sister's Keeper, she is a character that we do not know but about so I wanted to show what she was feeling after losing her love and moving in with her twin sister. This is an entry in a diary so it was hard for me to find a format to put this in other than this.
Diary Entry 1:
Oh my, where do I begin? I could write about Janet, but I do not feel like wasting paper because my tears have blurred the ink. Julia has graciously let me stay with her, maybe I should not say graciously, because it seems I have done all her housework, something that someone would do in a month and I’ve done it in about two hours. I feel sorry for her though, living all alone like this, taking care of heartbroken and confused children, how can she be happy? Oh but she is, she has never needed anyone to tell her what to do with her life, and I admire her for that. Who knows how long I will be here, how long my heart will ache for the loss of her. My job almost seems silly sometimes, making jewelry? I am not a 7 year old anymore, though it feels like it sometimes, the joy of life giving me a high I hold on to until it fades. Oh, if only I could teach this to my sister, she needs someone in her life to make her feel this way. I guess this is the next chore on my list.

What makes this post so good is that you really get into the character and you have great voice. nice job!
ReplyDeleteWow, that would have been hard to put into any other form. It definitley has a authentic voice to it, not like any other poem or story. It seems that you do know a lot about Izzy though because you can write as if you are her.
ReplyDeleteI like your voice in all of your pieces. It really stood out. Since I read the book and everything with you, the symbolism-chore thing was awesome. Good job :)
