Tuesday

Today, we are going to discuss your storyboards and journals. I will then give you a few minutes to write sentences with Gaunt and Futile

Finally, we will be starting "The Lady or the Tiger?"  

When you write your sentences try and have fun with it:

contempt (noun): the feelings or attitude toward a person one considers unworthy

The contempt that Jackie felt for her ex-boyfriend amounted to her burning all his photos and letters, smashing his cds with a sledgehammer, donating all his clothes to charities, cracking eggs on the hood of his car, spitting in his new girlfriend’s face, and writing a letter: “Dear Mike, you are such a bastard and I don’t deserve how you mistreated me –locking me in your closet for two days – so I pray that some hour soon, you will be impaled by a sharp object, through the stomach, and that your death ends up on the six o’clock news (by the way, I have a knife); on the day of your death, I will have a party and laugh all night with the thoughts of your suffering.”

retribution (noun): deserved punishment

Jackie’s letter of retribution disturbed Mike; he moved out of state, changed his name and phone number, and had plastic surgery done on his face.
