"If I Were........."

Writer: Beth AndersonBeth Anderson

Pretend you are one of the main characters in your book, and write a journal or diary entry cataloging a day in his or her life. Make sure to include plenty of details that will not only make your reader feel like they are sharing the character's experiences, but that also reveals what you feel are his or her most important or unique character traits.


Keep in mind, you need to include a lot of thorough and rich detail in your response. This also means that you are going to need an entry that is at lease three well developed paragraphs.

I'm reading the book called FORT.


I was stoked about the fort and a little spooked by the thing in the yard so i thought i'd never get to sleep. But I must have crashed pretty fast because I didn't even her Dad come in.

In the morning, as he and I had a quick breakfast together, I told him about the commotion in the bushes the night before. we went outside, him to get in his car and me to get on my bike, and something caught my eye underneath the bushes at the edge of the gravel driveway, right where the rustling sound had come from. Kneeling down and peering in, I found a rabbit's foot …

Monday- Well, my week got off to a rough start. I woke up and went to grab my Mom's bathrobe, it wasn't there where it usually was. I asked Mom if she took it, but she said she didn't take it. Then I had a feeling that my Dad did something to the bathrobe.


Wednesday- I have been really tired of having to walk to school everyday. So this morning I asked my Mom to take me and Rowley to school today. I didn't ask sooner because my Mom has these embarrassing bumper stickers all over her car, and the kids at my school are brutal when it comes to that thing.


Friday- I have learned a lesson not to…

I'm reading The Selection. Last night I meet Aspen in my old tree house. We had to meet at night because if we got caught we would be in trouble by the law. Last night I didn't think that would be left alone together. The day before he convinced me to join the selection.


The polls have not got in yesterday and I am not happy. I was one of the 35 chosen. When we got to the airport people were cheering for me, I didn't realize that many people cheered for me. I signed paper, shock hands, and took pictures with people. I didn't mean to hold up the people in my group but I did.


When we got…

I read the book "High Heat". As I'm on the mound I watch with just a half an eye to see with batters swinging at what pitches. I have to stay loose and relax because my time is coming. Things have been going well for me and my high school team. We are now 5-0. I was the team clown doing funny jokes like tying my teams shoes together or putting worms in their water bottle. When the game was over we noticed a big american car, a Ford or Chrysler. Two men got out, one of them a little guy who was nearly bald and a much bigger and younger guy. “The shorter guy looks like our social studies…

Dear diary


The police still haven't found my missing parents; they say they're still looking for them. Deep down I wanna believe they're ok and alive but I know they're probably gone and have passed. I still get flashes in my head of what the creature is. People say I described a Bigfoot-like creature. Since Uncle John gave me an ipad so i can watch movies while recovering I decided to do some research about bigfoot. I saw videos and pictures of the bigfoot person. It's just how I described the creature but some people say this bigfoot creature is a myth. Then I found this website of bigfoot hunters and where most sightings of bigfoot are. A lot o…
