Blog Prompt

What are the most important literary elements in a story to you?

I believe the most important element is Character in my opinion. Without character there is no story. If the character is not there there is no story, mood, personality. The story without the character is just the setting. There is no one to progress the story it is just an empty plain.

I believe the second most important element is the Setting. If there is no setting the character has no where to go in the story. There is also no mood or atmosphere. The character can't have feelings because the is what the setting is. All the character is without the setting is his appearence.

I'm very excited for soccer season this year. It is by far my favorite sport. I'm not the best but I believe I am better than most people. That will probably get me some playing time this year. I just home that freshman get to play this year. We are ranked #1 in the state so I hope we live up to that rank.

The only thing that's bad is I have two injuries to worry about. I have an inflamed growth plate in my right ankle that pinches a nerve which causes pain. My other injury is every year I pull my hamstring one way or another from kicking the ball and not stretching. Recently I got a swollen Lymph Node on my right hip preventing me from starting soccer but it will be gone by tomorrow thanks to antibiotics.

Class Island Discussion

When we were figuring out our survival plan it became apparent that we needed a leader. We nominated Jacob as the leader. We decided that you could only talk if you had the "stick" to avoid interruptions. We decided each person would receive one of the first graders to take care of them. We had fairly stable Government.

We decided to break people up into about 8 different jobs. I was nominated the hunting leader and I taught everyone how to. We figured out that we needed more people at certain jobs to live. I figure we would prosper for the first couple weeks until something bad happened or a kid went crazy or got hurt. I believe people would run away.
