Dandelion Wine Analysis

            Dandelion Wine is a collection of stories that are about two young children, Douglass and Tom, and how they are enjoying their summer.

  Dandelion Wine is a very very very very (very times 100) boring book, in my opinion, since I don't really like these types of books. But the writing in it is good, the stories have interesting plots, and the characters have nice named like Douglass and Tom. A lot of books I've read have odd names like "Hangraytalamore" or something.
               One chapter I liked was the story of an old woman who was trying to convince two children that she was once young. She buys them ice cream and tells them stories, but the two children don't believe her. It made me frustrated that she had to keep showing them stuff and they didn't believe her, because everybody knows that people were all young once.
                Another story I liked was the first one, where Douglass is waking everyone up. I like the descriptions the story makes, like how he is yelling at his grandma's to fry hot cakes and how they describe the scent of butter frying.

I think the best thing in Bradbury's book 'Dandelion Wine' is the description of things, how he described hot cakes, or lime-vanilla ice cream. I like how he describes situations, like Leo Auffman and his machine, and how Leo was feeling at the time.

Love Poem (I think..?)

Okay so I have to write a love poem on here but I hate love poems so here's an ANTI love poem:

You knock on my door
Its way past midnight
I tell you to go,
Farewell and goodnight.
You come back the next day
Bringing flowers and food
I tell you to go
I'm not in the mood
You think I just despise you
So you're constantly drinking booze
But the truth really is
I saw your criminal record on the news

Okay this is actually funny to me HAHA but nobody else laughed at it so maybe its not that good idk bye kids !

Definitely Sci-Fi

Science Fiction is my favorite book genre. I have debated between it and fantasy, but I think sci-fi wins the debate, because I find it very interesting. I like the idea of aliens, and different dimensions, and space. But that's not all sci-fi is. It adds flavor to the story, like your sitting down eating a sandwich while watching TV. All of the sudden, when you bite into your sandwich, the power shuts off. Turns out the special bread you found in the back of the supermarket, was an alien in disguise who controlled electricity. Well, that's that. I find sci-fi to have a certain affect on stories that fantasy just doesn't have.

Maya Angelou's Top 10 Writing Rules Review

Personally, I think writing rule number 7 is the best rule. 'You are Talented.' I think if writers knew that rule, they would me much more excited to write creatively. When people tell me I'm good at things, it makes me want to do it even more.
I also think rule number 8, 'Learn to Say No' is important, because maybe your publisher is trying to make you write a story on something you don't like the idea of. Don't be afraid to lose your publisher, there are plenty out there. Learn to say no to them. Don't be afraid to.
Rule number 4, 'Love' also seems important to me because many writers often think they have no time but to write. That's not true. Take a break, relax, laugh, and of course, Love.

Sci-Fi Or Fantasy

My favorite genre is probably fantasy or sci-fi because I love the idea of magic or space. I find space the coolest thing ever because it's so interesting. I love the planets and stuff. I love the idea of magic. When I imagine magic or fantasy, I think of a silver or deep purple mist. I like to write about sci-fi and the idea of ALIENS INVADING just kidding, I don't believe in that. But I do like the idea of it. Say its a normal day on earth, la da da, and your headed towards the beach carrying a picnic basket filled with sandwiches, cookies, lemonade, cups and a picnic basket. You lay the blanket down and you and your friends start enjoying it, but suddenly a shadow overtakes you and you suddenly find yourself in a metal room filled with bug eyed fish monsters. Wouldn't that be strange? That's Sci-Fi. Or fantasy, your swimming in the lake with your brother and suddenly he turns into a eel and attacks you, and you survive and find out the lake is magical and you have superpowers now. HMM. That's fantasy.
