Journal 4

OHMYGOODNESS. There was some sex jokes in the book! Wow. That is...different. I mean I always saw the characters to be not very mature but "WOW!" I think this is like a thing that should be payed attention to. It's very important that the reader notices a character's most immature side. For we all know, this piece of the story could be foreshadowing a future event that features lame pickup lines, or something.
I like how they get Lymon all snazzy and dressed up. That could mean something... I mean, like, how he's not super smart or charming or anything like that, but they can still get him to look like a million dollars.
Boy Willie likes to cheat people out of money. He's always asking to borrow money or sell people things.

I commented on Tawnie's Blog:
"I also noticed how Wining boy always tries to cheat people out of their money. Perhaps Boy Willie will learn from Wining Boy?"

Journal 3

Bernice and Boy Willie are super rude to each other. All they do is bicker and it puts a fast paced, loud mood into the text.
Sutter's ghost is gonna add a lot to the story I think. At first when it came into play I thought that Bernice was just crazy or psycho or on drugs or something. But now I realize it's actually legit.
Lymon is a sly devil. I'm pretty sure he's up to no good. I think that's why he seems to keep quiet mostly. He never talks about his own life, really, just comments on what others say, and talks about other people. And the thing with the truck, that could be foreshadowing.

Piano Lesson, Journal 2

They use the N-word a lot. Im slightly appauled by it. It makes me uncomfortable.
And also, they like to argue so much. There's almost no agreeing.
I'd like to ask, is it weird that the spent that long at the uncle's house?
And also, were watermelons like not very common then because nowadays they are super cheap, and they're EVERYWHERE.

I commented "I like how you pointed out that the grammar was wrong haha." on Shelby Marquez's blog.
