Sentence Stalking: Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson

http://sentencestalkingstevens.blogspot.com/2013/10/speak-by-laurie-halse-anderson.html

Thursday, October 10, 2013. Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. Lead: It is my first morning of high school. I have seven new notebooks, a skirt I hate, and a stomachache. I need a new friend. I need a friend, period. Not a true friend, nothing close or share clothes or sleepover giggle giggle yak yak. Just a pseudo-friend, disposable friend. Friend as accessory. Just so I don't feel and look so stupid. The cement-slab sky hangs inches above our heads. Which direction is east? Stalking the Wild Asparagus.

Thursday, July 25, 2013. Lead: The long howl of a wolf rolls over me like a toothache. While I love that boy more than life, Ida's a hole in another sock. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). When my sons were very young, I read the book. Stalking the Wild Asparagus. By Euell Gibbons. We began to stalk not just wild asparagus, but violet blossoms with which to make pancake syrup, nasturtium flowers with which to make salad, and rose hips with which to make tea. 2 Just to appreciate good writing.

Sentence Stalking: January 2012

http://sentencestalkingstevens.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html

Saturday, January 28, 2012. To an God Unknown by John Steinbeck. Three weeks before Thanksgiving the evenings were red on the mountaintops toward the sea, and the bristling, officious wind raked the valley and sang around the house corners at night and flapped the window shades, and the little whirlwinds took columns of dust and leaves down the road like reeling soldiers. Every night the sky burned over the sea and the clouds massed and deployed, charged and retreated in practice for the winter. I find t...

Tuesday, February 14, 2012. The Human Comedy by William Saroyan. When I picked this book up I was expecting something deeply intellectual, but it is a lovely accessible tale told in vignettes about a boy who delivers telegrams during wartime and learns about love and loss. We're poor, always have been- my father was a great. Man He was not a successful man. He didn't make any more money than what we needed- ever.". Saturday, February 11, 2012. Not exactly sentence stalking, but I love this! As embarrassi...

Sentence Stalking: February 2013

http://sentencestalkingstevens.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html

Thursday, February 21, 2013. I Had Seen Castles by Cynthia Rylant. The bombs that dropped on Hawaii sent a shock wave straight into the outraged soul of every man in American, and like Neanderthals, we had a primitive, fearless, screaming desire to kill. After the Nazis decimated our pitiful army a few times with their monstrous panzer tanks and eighty-millimeter guns, it occurred to us that we were- as we had known from the start, but not until now so cruelly- in very serious trouble. Purple Hibiscus by...
