I think that the action that happens in a novel is what is most effective.  You can be in a happy atmosphere and have the worst experience. For example,  there could be a story about a 5 years old who is all happy in her comfy house until one her father comes home drunk and makes bad decisions that will scar her for the rest of her life. So therefore atmosphere is out, supernatural isn't the most effective in my eyes either. Supernatural can mean different things, it doesn't have to be negative. You could have an angel lookkng over you rather than a demon traumatizing you. So action is what makes it or breaks it.

Mary Shelley Opens her book Frankenstein by writing 4 letters that give a little bit of background of the characters. If I were to ever write a scary story I would open it up with a scary scene and then flash back to what happened. I would do this because it would catch the readers attention and they would keep wanting to know more. I think mystery is what makes something so scary, you do not know what will happen next. If you knew what would happen then you would expect it and it would no longer be scary.



Like this picture, you do not know who it is or what happened to him. it is scary and you want to know more.

Forget Something?!

   When I was younger, I had a twin size bed that had posts at each leg. I used to think it was fun to swing around them when I got bored. One night when my sister and I were supposed to be in bed, I was swinging around the post and all of a sudden I smack my face on the bed post. The first thing I do is scream, "MOOOOM!!!." As I stand at the top of the stairs my mom starts to run up the steps to get me while I have a hand with a tooth in it and the other hand covered in blood. she turns around and runs back down to get popsicles. She then realized that she forgot me at the top of the steps. She now runs all the way back up and carries me down the stairs, the opens the freezer to find that we do not have any popsicles. So grandpa to the rescue, saves the day when he bought some popsicles and brought them to me.

My manager was so happy

On a slow day at Wendy's my manager kept looking at my with a smile on his face. I thought it was a bit creepy, so I gathered myself and decided to ask what the looks were for. He had explained that there was a mystery shop guy who came in while I was working. A Mystery shop guy is someone who comes in time to time and grades everyone on their job. He or she can judge you by your hair, attitude, and speed with their order. Not knowing, I took the man's order and received a 5 out of 5. My manager was so proud of me, I was the first minor to receive a 5. He was so impressed that he gave me a raise. Hard work pays off, especially when having to deal with rude customers.

I Was Hit With a Huge Responsiblity

       I was hit with a huge responsibility when my volleyball coach asked me to play with the 17's American team. Currently I play for a 16's Regional volleyball team.That just means that the age group is 16 years old and younger, and regional is a lower level. Regional volleyball teams don't travel as far as the national teams, but tournaments still are not the closest by any means. most of the players have been playing way longer than I have and are a more experienced. The tournament took place in Columbus, on March 30th, 2014. It is quite a change going for one the strongest players on the 16's team to the weakest on the 17's. The maturity level is outrageous, when someone makes a bad play they shake it off and move on to the next one. I would say I played well, but not to my full potential, I played scared. I was not nearly as aggressive as I normally am, I was quite intimidated.
