Rite of Passage

 To become and adult, you must first pass the rite of passage. The rite of passage contains three tasks that must be completed on your own in order to enter into adulthood. The tasks are as follows.

1. Make a doctor appointment on your own. Adults have to make their own doctor appointments, simple as that. If adults are ill or need to see a doctor they have to figure out how to do that on their own. A key component to this task is knowing where your health insurance card is. One simple rule must be followed while completing this task: No calling your parents for help.

2. Get a job and pay some bills. Unfortunately, adults have bills to pay and therefore must have money. Time to get a job so you have money for the bills. Fill out some applications, go to some interviews, and land a job. Doesn't need to be a dream job, any old job will do. To complete this task, you need to get that hard earned pay check and then turn around and put the money towards bills when you would much rather do something fun with the money instead.  

3. Make a meal that doesn't come from a box and can't be cooked in a microwave. Adults need to live healthy lives and part of that is making their own food. The final test is to make a meal from scratch. No, Stouffer's lasagna doesn't count. Bust out the ingredients and make something yourself. Part of this is making sure you have the ingredients needed. Follow the directions and make a tasty meal to welcome yourself into adulthood.

Once all three tasks have been completed you can finally call yourself an adult.

Brown Girl Dreaming: The Movie

 The idea of turning books into movies or tv series always intrigues me. After reading Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson, I began to think about how this story could be transferred into a TV show or movie. Personally, I think this story would make a better movie than TV show. The book is made up of many short verses that tell the overall story of Jacqueline Woodson growing up and finding herself as a writer. I think the nature of the verses and the stories told would make it difficult to make a TV series out of the book. The verses are short and would be challenging to turn into TV episodes. I think the story would be much better suited as a movie. The story could be depicted in a similar style to the movie "42" which is about Jackie Robinson and tells his story from the early stages of the civil rights movement. From what I remember of the movie "42" it tells Jackie Robinsons story by focusing in on certain moments from his life. Brown Girl Dreaming is writ...

Male Luna and Female Antain?

 If the main characters were of opposite sex, the story would need to take some different paths to reach where it ends up. Luna being a male would change the story, but I don't feel it would change that characters arc tremendously. There would definitely be some changes, possibly things like behavior or the relationship between Luna and Xan (would they be as close to start if they were of opposite sex?). However, I feel much of Luna's character could translate directly to a male version. A male version would still need to have their magic suppressed and could go through many of the same experiences that female Luna goes through. I feel the larger change in the story would come from Antain being a Female. The main change would be Antain likely couldn't have been a member of the council for the beginning part of the story. While I don't remember it explicitly stating the council only allowed men, it seemed as though the council was comprised exclusively of men. If a femal...

Final Blog

       1.       I disagree with the statements made against children’s and young adult literature. The two I agree with most are “No one around here knows anything about it. If it was really worth knowing, we’d have heard about it.”, and “Children’s and young adult literature has no permanence. Something is popular today and something else is tomorrow.” In my opinion, both of these arguments are very flawed. Every great book was once unknown to the masses at some point. The great books used in classrooms across the country all had to be introduced to teachers, school boards, and administrators at some point.   The Graveyard Book   by Neil Gaiman can be the next great book introduced to our school’s curriculum. The book is a Newberry Medal winner with a great plot, numerous exciting characters, and many of the literary elements that should be taught to students. The book is a great read that students will love, and I am sure all of y...
