__Reading Journal #4:__ July13th, 2011

Let's keep with the magic number! Today there is three things we are going to do:

1) We are going to organize your reading journals using widgets and tags (watch my projector presentation)

2) For today's journal you are going to pick one character: Daisy, Jordan, Tom, Gatsby, or Nick. This is an important decision. You are most likely going to write your essay about this character (though you will have some options).

I think Nick is simile to me.

Once you have your character you are going to practice the three new jobs for today: text-to-self, text-to-text, text-to-world. (Text just means thing. This 'thing' can be a book, movie, song, poem...) i) **Text-to-self**: Think of and write a few sentences about how the character is like you. Also, describe how the character's personality is different from yours. Nick is a good-temper man, he never said something that did not satisfy others, like me, treating others equality.He is also easy going to others. He is a confident people, he believes he has the advantage than others. However, he tends to be a gay man, which I have not plan to be.

ii)**Text-to-text**: Find a website or a you-tube video about this **type** of person. Do not find a site about your character. Instead if your character is a killer, find a website about killers. Post the link and write some sentences explaining how this website connects to your character.

They do not have to be exactly the same but they should share one important attribute. For example, if my character were always telling jokes, I could connect them to my favorite comedian. Again find a website about this person, post the link, and explain the connection.

I think Bill gates

3) Lastly you will be setting up a Facebook page for your character. Please watch the projector for more information. I sent Nick' s lover in face-book, she is a beautiful girl. Also i think she is a good golfer.The reason that she likes Nick maybe is that she thinks Nick is mysterious guy.
