Well i will dedicate this book to the kids we writing it to, to me, and to my family because i dedicate everything to my family. I choose to dedicate this book to the kids because were creating it for them. If it was not for them we would not be doing this project. I dedicate it to me because i took the time to write this book.
The importance of acknowledging people in your writing is to tell them you possibly got ideas from them, and that the people reading your book give them some credit as well. Acknowledging people also lets the people know that you care about where you ideas came from, and that person, or people is very important to the authors life.

Day 27
el maestro y el estudiante- means the teacher, and the student translated into spanish so thats one i was considering because this is just a remake of it. Another would be the lying teacher because thats what the scene of the story is. Also the smart student- this kid is smart, and tricks his teacher out of his lies that he tells his class. I'm considering avoiding issues. I choose this because there are a lot of issues and problems that my character encounters in my version of the story, and that some problems are better avoided. My last option would be the cunning kid. I choose this because i think it's a title the little kids would like, and because this kid is smart.
Day 26
My story is going rather good. It has a halloween theme for the kids even though halloween is over. My story is going good besides the pictures. I don't know when were really going to really start making these books but I'm getting anxious, and excited about it. Another things is about the blogs.
They help very much but I'm real lazy to go back and look to get ideas to build my story, but i have to. Also looking back at the blogs help me generate new ideas. Going back over them gets my mind on track when i get lost which is a lot of the time.

Day 25
I like the flow of my story. Everything falls right into place, and i love my style of writing. It's very descriptive, and uses imagery. I like to place good images inside the readers mind to get into character against the antagonist. I like for the reader to feel involved in the story so they are suspenseful. My story when read aloud sounds really good and scary. My style really doesn't keep the story together it just gets the reader feeling like they are in the story themselves. I like for people to have emotion when reading my script. My story sounds good to me, even though it is a little stereotypical.

Day 24
I would say that my story would most likely be number 3, and number 4. Reasons that i would say this is because, My character overcomes his problems with his teacher, but not by his own though. It was sort of a coincidence, or a very slim chance that he caught his teacher up in a lie. It was all up to chance that he dreamed of the virgin mary. Reason it's number 4 is because of the bad influences are outfaced with the help of the fauna in the story. He stops hanging around all the negative people around his village because the mythical creature prevents him from attempting bad things. The overall climax i would say though would be when he catches the teacher in the lie.

DAY 23
I would say my character has two social responsibilities. The first one is to decipher the truth about things exactly like the way he broke through the teachers lies. The second one is to maintain at home and to stay away from the wrong group of people. Reason is because my my main character Juan, wants to become successful at what he wants to do, and in order to do that you have to maintain focus and avoid people that can turn you away from your success.
Social responsibility to me are responsibilities, or jobs that u need to do that benefit you, and the public around you as well. The term "social responsibility" remains completely clear to me, and that's what makes this blog hard to do. I applied the social responsibility of my character deciphering the truth because it's benefiting him, but it's also helping others around him know the truth about things which is benefiting the public. The other one was staying away from the wrong people. I chose this because by staying away from the bad, he's benefiting himself, and could possibly change the minds of the others.

Day 22
The theme of my story is don't tell lies get. This happens in everyday life so i think its important to just tell the truth because in the end lies will catch up with you. Also the moral lesson included will be don't hang out with the wrong people because they can put you on the brink of death. T
hings that i will write about will obviously be about him and the teacher arguing about him falling asleep in class. I'm going to write about the Chupacabra to help Juan keep out of trouble. I have to write about him seeing the Virgin Mary because without that part of the story the lies is excluded. I have to include his bad friends. Also i have to write about the characters personalities.

Day 21
Juan was off to school, didn't do the homework, and was ready for the consequences. He was also not going to sit there, and be scolded by the teacher neither. He had his own reasons for not doing it, and one was the teacher himself.
i chose this as an introduction because i feel that some suspense is about to happen with his teacher, and him. I put that he isnt going to sit there and let the teacher yellat him so you know theres going to be a big arguement about to go down. I'm trying to influence suspense.
The illustration I'm going to put will be a cartoon character with his face being red, and his ears emitting steam. I think the kids will enjoy this picture because it will be goofy looking, and steam coming out the ears is cartoonish which kids like

Day 19
Well first of all, I wish more story could be for a more maure audience because i'm more of a comical person. Also in my story i feel i missing the mexican setting. I feel that the dust, and dirt aren't there. Also i feel that appropriate dialogue is missing. I'll come about that easy though.
The main thing i feel i'm missing though is characters. I only have two. I don't have a wide variety of dialogue in my story. It's wither the student talking to the teacher or to himself. There are two occasions when he talks to his friends but those are like 15 second conversations. I'll have to contemplate on how to spice this story up with some action. Action is what i feel it needs!

Day 18
All of my stories have no author.
The four dragons: this story was mainly about how the dragons were playing in the clouds one day, and discovered that their people didnt have any crops to eat, and so they needed to send rain to help crops grow. They went to the jade emporer who was the master of earth, and begged him to send the water but all the emporer cared about was his own desires. So without the consent of the jade emporer the dragons scooped up their own domnains which was the eastern sea, and let the water drizzle down their mouths all the way to earth to help the peoples stock grow because the innocent children had begun to eat clay, and grass roots. They also ate Bark from trees. Finally when the jade emporer found about of this he had the dragons imprisoned forever, and they all never regretted their actions to helped the ones they cared for.
Loawnu the wise woman: this story was about how her village was going to throw a big festival the next day , and the kids saw pieces from the sky falling, and so did all the other people in the village. They paniced, and didnt know what to do. Loawnu told all the children to gather the pieces from the sky that had fallen. Yet she had known it was water. So the next day the sky was all back to normal, and they all thanked her.
Wang the Peddler: This story was about a man who knew he had to make his money to get what his wife had wanted. He went into the city, and sold all his coal, and then forgot what his wife had wanted because he had worked all day. The only thing he could remember was that what she wanted was something crescent shaped. He ended up getting her a mirror, when what she really wanted an imperial comb.
All these stories have morals. Such as doing whats right wven though its wrong. Those dragons knew they had to save the people even if they defied the orders of the jade emporer.
The moral of the second story is if your wise, and all knowing you won't panic because you're knowing whats going on around you. Information is valueable.
Finally the last story. The moral of this is that work can interfere with your life in all ways. All these folk tales teach you about life and the hardships that it carries. Also that good can also be bad at the same time. The prupose of every folk-tale is to teach and give a life lesson.
