I'm doing this early because I will be in D.C. this weekend ^^, (so excited) and I'm not bringing my laptop, and although they probably have computers at the hotel, I don't think I'll have time.
For my trend, I think it's going to be OK if I can just find a few charts or graphs. Or data of some sort for deafness among teens. See, since I'm doing the effects of modern music on teen's everyday lives (language and hearing, mostly, maybe style or personality, morals) then I would love to compare with rates from a while ago, like maybe as far back as the Beatles (1960s).
So. This Week's Reading.
Before we get started, I'll give you a hint: title is a synonym for RED+ the letter "t" , sequel to Gone With The Wind, but by a different author. I like GWTW better. She's unscandalous, it's a fresh story, and all the boys are swooning over a shallow, stubborn, smart, and very spoiled sixteen-year-old named Scarlett. Hence the title of the book.
So, now Scarlett is strong and disgraced, plus kinda depressed from all the deaths, and I read up the book on Wiki and it turns out that the spunk and stamina that Scarlett needed to get through GWTW is necessary. Now that I think of it, Scarlett is a stupid book. She ditches Tara, which she would NEVER do, EVER, I mean, Tara is her home! I don't care if Suellen is now queen, she's Scarlett, and she can easily take over! She carried Tara through the aftermath of Sherman's March! She can take on her little sister! GRRRRR!!!!!!!!!! And now she's apparently going to end up in Ireland (what the heck, right?) and meet her grandmother (who's like, 80 by now) and have another kid. ARGH! SHE IS SO ANNOYING NOW! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DIE BEFORE YOU WROTE A SEQUEL, MARGARET MITCHELL?? WHY???????
But I'll still read it.
I miss the old Tara. And the old Scarlett, spoiled and dependent.
Short post. Just for this week. Next week will be a LOT longer.

What is Gone With The Wind about?? I mean, I know you just said it, but plot-line wise? Should I read it??? And how old is it?? Hahahahaha sorry Jenni I'm completely filling you up with questions ;)
ReplyDeleteOkay. 1. Gone With The Wind is about a spoiled southern belle named Scarlett O'Hara who is living in Georgia during the start of the civil war. The book is about her overcoming obstacles in her life from the start of the civil war to the reconstruction era.
ReplyDelete2. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
3. Umm, 1936 (I love wiki) the movie came out in 1939, starring Vivien Leigh as Scarlett and Clark Gable as Rhett.
Hope that answers some questions :)
