When I am at home I play a game called Monster Hunter Tri. It is a game about hunting monsters and as you level up you can hunt harder monsters to hunt. When you finish your hunt, you get materials to form weapons and armor. The site I will write about is http://monsterhunter.wikia.com/ which offers information about all the features of the game. It has all kinds of guides, walkthroughs, and tips. I visit it almost everyday to look for useful tips of how to enjoy my game better and level up faster.

I did understand the story "Twins". The woman was the killer. She took away the bullets from the gun of the man. At first I was confused but then I read it again and I understood it. I liked "Twins". I generally like this genre, which is kind of mystery and thriller.

Imaginary stories help us to expand our minds and creative horizon, but they also show us a perspective of the real world. In the real world there is comedy, mystery, tragedy, horror, etc. Every time one reads a book one becomes more like the genre of the book one is reading, as if one reads comedy, one becomes funny. When one reads a mystery story like 'Twins', it may help one to expand one's mystery/problem solving ability. Such as Lucy being married to a mystery writer, she figured out his plan, and that saved her life.

A man is locked in a room with an active bomb and has to defuse it with a paperclip. The creative story is going to be a Amateur Investigator Mystery. We are going to present the newspaper. I am the creative writer, so in my story careful observation will reveal the identity of the anti-hero. The reader is encouraged to discover the identity before the identity is told, if it is told. Evidence and motives are the clues that help the reader figure out the identity.

In this video clues are hidden and really close attention is needed to discover the criminal. It is hard to come up with clues that can make the reader think the killer is someone else who is not. The kind of clues that the writer gives have to seem not important, as if it was just another detail that the reading has. Everything is in the details. In my story, clues may not be as confusing or as hidden but they will definitely try to confuse the reader.

Infinite+simal(small): very small Like+ness, slowness, sloppiness, happiness. Likeness: to be similar Void=Mystery=Abyss: nothing, empty Unfastened: free, liberated

The void, which made me feel the likeness of being infinitesimal, grew unfastened inside me.

Reading Journal #9

Chapter 1: Dill is fascinated with Boo, who is thought to be some kind of a monster. No one knows how he is or what is he doing all the time in his house, which is why Dill is so interested. In the song //What is he building down there?,// it is not known what is he doing inside the house, just as Boo Radley. He may be building some kind of artefact to make people zombies, that is why moans can be heard. I imagine Boo as a tall skinny man, with long face and sad eyes. Chapter 2: I have never gotten in big trouble in school. The worst thing I have been caught while doing has been talking in class or not doing an assignment. I get yelled at but that's about it. I didn't got hit by the teacher or anything like that, so Scout's situation is worse that my worst.

Reading Journal #10

I think I don't have many things in common with Burris Ewell. Only that I have been to the deep south, where I first heard 'ya hear?', and secondly that I've had lice too, which I actually got them in the deep south. I was in a summer camp for three weeks, and when I got back to my home I reckoned that I brought with me illicit passengers in my head. So I deliberately shaved my head to get rid of them, maybe something Burris should do to get rid of them.

I do not like my ex-girlfriend. She made up a fake story about us and I got hit by her friends because of that. I really don't know why would she do something like that, I thought we ended up as friends. Maybe she wanted to have a special bond, so that is why she tried to tie me up with something. "[Evil is] the absence of empathy." When people stop caring about other people's feelings and thoughts, they think they can do whatever they want and i doesn't matter if it hurts someone. "Evil's an easily accessible term to describe when people do bad things" When someone does good, it is goodness. When someone does bad things, it is evil.
