Day Nineteen

Ok seriously, it seems that the more blogs we get, the less people do them. Does anyone blog anymore? =/


Back on track, time for day nineteen. This is fairly simple, I must say. Thanks Mr. Prier, 'cause I was starting to worry about my story. I feel sad now =/


I really don't think my story is coming out as I want it to. Sure, I chose the French culture, but I did very little research on it (actually, I did like five seconds of research on it =/). All I know are very little details, most of which have to do with cooking (which I might add into my story). If I was actually paying attention to the French culture, my story would be a little different. 


These are the only French cultural things in my story:



  • Mr. Moreau - a traditional French male name. 
  • Mr. Chien - means Mr. dog
  • Mr. Chiens hat - has the national colors of France, which are white, red, and blue.
A shame, isn't it? =(



I really want my story to explain my moral (stay hopeful, have faith, etc.) AND give a few details on the French culture. So far, my story is only teaching my moral =( I also want people to know about how strong a father's love can be, and how sometimes bad situations can turn out really great. I want my story to showcase as a tale for people of all ages to enjoy, and so far I think they'll enjoy it, but they won't learn any French culture =/


As for changes, I think I will make Mr. Moreau and Honeysuckle bake together instead of flying kites. They could bake bread or something, and Moreau will be able to make wonderful loaves of bread...until...Honeysuckle get's kidnapped and then he can't bake anymore!!!!! I JUST GOT AN IDEA =D AND WHEN SHE RETURNS HE CAN BAKE AGAIN =D If only I was thinking like this at the beginning of the assignment...I feel sadder now =(


In conclusion, my story is lacking a lot of French (which I really should add) culture. I really want to teach my morals, and I really want people of all ages to enjoy my story and learn a lesson while doing it. Oh well, it's not too late for me, and it isn't too late for anyone else to fix/change their stories around, I guess. 


Have a nice day =)

  1. I like the blog... It's very detailed. It's almost too detailed though. I guess that isn't bad, but it's good that you said you need to do more work. Despite that... I like the blog. Good job.
