Mr. Steltman - Redirecting ...

When the going gets weird, our characters get ...

Isn’t it funny how life works?  One week it feels like everything is great, going amazing and everything feels bright but then the next week can come, turn on you and everything feels like it’s crashing down around you.  A huge part of life is not only the adversity and hardships that you will face but rather, how you deal with these hardships.  Dealing with roadblocks and negativity is something that we can have our characters face in our writing as well.  Think back to the character you created about a month ago.   For your blog post this week, write a story where they face some form of a challenge (make it realistic, maybe something that could happen to you) and see how your character reacts to this challenge.  Each character may react differently but finish the story so that their reaction contributes to the resolution of the story.

PS: I have not faced these challenges!

Hi I am Laquifa. I am skinny, but not healthy. I am anorexic, which means I am un healthy and VERY skinny. My mum tells me I am beautiful but I know I am not. I am done with being mean, rude and nasty. I go to a different school now, the kids are 100 times worse than I was at my old school. They tell me I am ugly, stupid and even worse. I hate school. I need to make a plan to get out of this prison. I need to talk to my mum and find a way. I went home and my mum wasn't there. I looked on the counter for a note, and there it was, it read... "Hi Lequifa it's mum, I am staying late at work tonight so don't worry, there is cookies and cream ice cream in the fridge. Mum is always trying to gain fat on me, but it doesn't work, I am not hungry. When My mum got home, we worked out an idea! I am going to be home schooled! No more mean kids! After the months of not going to school and being home schooled, the kids found my email. I was bullied for months until, I decided to move countries with my parents and little brother. We now live in Spain and everything is okay. I went to school there and everyone excepts me. I love it here. I am now 30 and I have found a diet and I am no longer anorexic! Life is fantastice

Dear diary, today I made this prank on the teachers which was funny. I made something which means we won't have school tomorrow. I don't think anyone saw me.

Wednesday June, 3. 2007
Dear diary, my plan backfired, we still had school today. But tomorrow the Principal asked me to come to school early and to wait for him in his office. I don't know if it's good or bad? What if he found out that I did it.

Tuesday June, 4. 2015
Dear diary, I went to the school early and waited for him to come. When the Principal came he talked to me about my prank on Tuesday. He told me that I'm suspended from school. Then he said that it won't be on my record if I go to a new school. I don't know what I'm going to do?

It's the last day of the school year, the chaotic yet enjoyable school year. We are sitting in a circle sharing our favourite part of the year and what we are looking forward to this summer, I on a students lap. ( I survived the little accident that happened a few months ago. When it come around to Miss J, she say her favourite part of the year has been teaching the students and the thing she is looking forward to is moving half way across the country for another teaching position we all go crazy and a squeal with surprise. I will not move halfway across the country even if I have to glue myself down to this classroom. I think about what it will be like there, students that will despise me and teachers that will think of me as vermin. I am panicking and don't realize the class has gone quiet and there are sighs of relief. Miss J says she just wanted to see how we would react and says the thing she is actually looking forward to is spending time with friends that are coming visit.

"OMG! That guy is so uglieee!" Well it appears the girls are gossiping about me again. My name is Jackson Durion and if you asked anyone in the school who I was they would all give you the same answer, THE BEAST. They are not calling me a beast because of how mean I am, they are calling me a beast because of how I look. I know I am not the most handsomest kid (I'm actually quite ugly) but they don't have to point that out to the whole world! Everyone bully's me and I feel lonely... What would you do if you were in my position?!?!

Some random person is going to be late for school and trips on a rock and falls he realizes he is going to be late and keeps walking (sorry this is short)

Character: Hailey
Flaw: She always lies

As I walked into the school office my hands are shaking and I am sweaty even though I know exactly what they will ask me.
"SIT!" Yelped principal Gooman (he was not a good man) so I quickly sat down and tried my best to stay out of trouble.
"Did you do it?" Asked principal Goodman.
"Do what ?" Hailey asked.
" you know what "
" No I don't " hailey said.
But deep deep inside Hailey really did know...
She was the one that set the bathroom on fire.
But there was a purpose.

To be continued ( or not )

Today was the worst day ever...
This week was right after march break, no one wanted to go back, particularly me. Im am having a total meltdown. Oh my gosh what do I do? Ill tell you what happened. MY FACE IS RED AS LOLI POP SOCKS from all my bloody acne. The first step I took in to the building was like a wall of eyes just staring right at me whispering, laughing, and just making my impression of the day TERRIBLE. By the first period I had kid's throwing paper at me and just really bringing me down. I knew I had to act on the best decision for me, which would be to tell an adult. I usually am not that guy that tells an adult about thing but I was so done with this nonsense! I eventually called home and went home, and then just cried all day.

Josh always sat at the back of French class. He always sat at the back for French class because he never understood what was going on. Madame Lafayette, came into the classroom, "Bonjour toute le monde" she said. "Bonjour Madame Lafayette," everyone answered. The French teacher continued to speak in French. Josh had no idea what she was saying, until he heard what sounded like his name. Madame Lafayette, looked at him. "Josh, comment dit on dog?" she asked. Josh had no idea what she was saying. He stared at his shoes. He could feel his face going red. Madame Lafayette, turned and asked a girl with red ribbons "Marie, comment dit on dog?" Marie said, "le chien, madame". "Très bien" Madame Lafayette said. Finally French was over, and Josh walked out the class, but one of his classmates started to bark at him like a dog. All day he heard his classmates barking. The next day before Madame Lafayette entered the class, the entire class turned to Josh in the back row and started to bark and howl like dogs. Josh's face turned beet red and he got up and ran out of the class right into Madame Lafayette. Josh could feel the tears running down his face. Madame Lafayette put her head into the classroom and shouted "Be quiet or everyone gets detention." She took Josh to sit in an empty classroom and asked him what was the matter. He told her what had happened. Madame Lafayette promised to help Josh improve his French and for the next month Josh came everyday after school and studied with Madame Lafayette. He found he was enjoying French much more. He asked Madame Lafayette if he could move to the front. Two months later Josh got an award for excellence in French -- no one ever barked at him again.

Hi my name is Chronic Legacy and I am having a lot of struggles shooting the basketball correctly. It is difficult so I have decided to ask the schools basketball coach to teach me so I get ready for the tryouts. He taught me eventually. It was a good experience of not being afraid to ask.

Clarence gets called to his boss's office, only to see a crying mess and snotty handkerchiefs all over his desk. Clarence cringes and steps forward hesitantly, "you needed something boss?" He asks and Clarence's boss raises his head up slowly. "Please, call me George." He wept, "I sent you here to consult me." Clarence frowned at the man and turned to head out the door, he thought this was something important, that he would finally get a promotion; but no! he had to consult his bawling boss. "Please wait!" Clarence turns around sharply, gritting his teeth. "It's about a death," his boss started, Clarence sighs and goes to sit in the chair in front of the desk, deaths were obviously a thing to cry about. "Of my dog, Mitzy." Clarence feels like he could slam his head on the desk right about now, a dog!? But all he could do is nod his head. "Have you ever felt this way?" His boss said through sobs, "Sorry sir, but I have not." "You've never had a pet?" Clarence cringes at the thought of having one, too messy, even the ones kept in cages. He shakes his head and the boss wipes away a tear. "Well Mitzy was a black Pomeranian who would always lay on my stomach and sleep with me and liked to play dress up..." The boss smiles and Clarence can only blink at him in confusion, how can you be so attached to something? The boss notices his confusion and raises an eyebrow at him, "have you never had someone in your family die?" Clarence crosses his arms, "sir my mother died giving birth to me and I haven't seen my father ever since I turned eighteen" He bluntly replies. The boss stops crying and stares blankly at him, "well, this meeting is dismissed." Clarence nods at him and stands up from his chair going to the door, ignoring the awkward silence between them. Clarence turns the door handle, "you better clean this place up, it's not professional looking when there's snot everywhere." He says and walks out the door.

I am so happy that I decided to try basketball. All of a sudden I hear one of my teammates slip and fall. I feel my self falling. I go to sleep. I wake up again to hear. What?, she's in a coma? It's my mother's voice and I feel myself falling into a very deep sleep.
