Lucy

I think the most intrigueing character is lucy. She is the type of girl the others probably looked up to and wanted to be like. In the eyes of most Lucy had it all, but really having it all depends on what you want. If you want the beauty quenn life and had it then you would have it all. In lucy's case, the beauty queen life wasnt for her. She wante to be in control of her own life and make her own decision which is why she went through desperate measures to feel that way. Cutting herself was a way of saying "you think you know me but you really don't." Although the things lucy did arent exactly the smartest or safest things but they are what made her feel how she needed to fell. Although she ultimately kills herself, it kind of shows just how much control lucy wanted and now had over her life. She wanted so much control that she took her own life. She wasnt going to wait around for her time to come or for some other person to come along and kill her, she took control of the situation and decided when it was her time. I also find lucy intriguiging because she is a free spirit. She doesnt seem to mind the things she's done and excepts them but she does it all with a certain grace.

My Work

1. I think I told my story pretty well. I made sure to use detail and tried to make everything flow together
2. I think my conclusion was what I did specially well because usually i have weak conclusions
3. I think i could improve some of the detail and maybe reword some things. I also forget to check the transitions at the beginning of my paragraphs .
4. I generated ideas for my writing by just naming things that had to do with reading and then picking the one that i could write with the most detail
5. I first wrote my narrative down on paper because my ideas and thoughts come out faster that way. After that i typed it and made some revisions.
6. I didnt use any photos or other graphics for details. I jsut used my memory
7. Others' responses didn't really influence my writing
8. Next time i thinkj i would use a thesaurus to come up with different words to describe detail.
