Write a Diary Entry from any Character's Point of View.Yes...any character! Your post does not have to be a typical diary entry. You do NOT need to start with "Dear Diary". It could just be an inner monologue! Maybe it's a letter/petition from the buffalo at the zoo arguing for Maniac to get his own pen! (But don't use my idea, come up with your own!) BE CREATIVE!
If you're having trouble, think about a character trait for your character! EXAMPLES: -If you think your character is iconoclastic, they might be talking about how they dislike the government, and how they don't believe in segregation between the East/West End. -If you think your're character is arrogant, they might be talking about how they love themselves, and how they are just better than everyone else. YOUR POST SHOULD BE AT LEAST TWO PARAGRAPHS LONG. EDIT IT! YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR READING EVERYONE'S POST, WE WILL CRAFT RESPONSES TOMORROW IN CLASS!

I really like you post because you were pretending to be a young child, but you took your post to the next level! You didn't spell everything right like an older child, you did obvious spelling mistakes like a young child would do.

Hi I'm Crunchy Carrot. " Pitter patter pitter patter."" Oh no someone or something is coming." A hairy hand is about to put me in the cage."what cahe though, hopefully not a carrot eater!" "No please don't put me in there hand, I'm living a good life right now please don't take that away from me." I feel my leaves begin to crinkle."BAM" I fell into a food dish." Not the buffalo pen!

Hello my name is Eddie the frog. I was just sunning myself on a rock when suddenly the sun was blocked. All of a sudden, the creek started to...rise...!? I looked up from my little frog magazine and, splash! The creek filled up with a strange yellow liquid. I asked myself "what is that? ". Then out of nowhere I giant, gloved thing grabbed me.

I like how you said that "All of a sudden..." and "In the blink of an eye". I like this because the frog probably didn't see it coming and it all happened so fast. Also I like how you said you got an injury and that you had to see Dr. Ribbits. I thought that was really creative.

Oh, my glove! Who did that kid think he was, going up to McNab like that? Though, he looked so confident, maybe he would be the one to hit one of the balls McNab throws! Maybe he would be the one!

“This kid will be an easy strike out. He doesn’t even play baseball and he looks scrawny and weak. Here comes the first pitch strike one! NO! ”In a blink of an eye the ball was soaring into the outfield and the kids were screaming. “What! It took off my hat! GET MY HAT AND GET THE BALL NOW! This next one will fly by him like a bullet. Here comes strike tw… What! He hit it again. I am going to drill him in the head with this next pitch. Right at him Strike one! Strike two Belt ball! Strike three knee level you can’t hit tha… What! He just hit it like a golf ball! I will be right back.”

It was a normal day on he edge of the creek when all of a sudden some hands came down behind me and grabbed me with the grip of a python. The kid took me onto the baseball field and got ready to pitch. "This is animal abuse" I thought to myself. then the kid pitched me to a kid at the plate who was surprised to see a frog coming through the air at him. I thought I was done for. But then I hit the bat but lightly because the kid layer a perfect bunt down the third base line and I landed on my feet. Then I hoped down the third base line an tried to get way from the kid who pitched me. Then he stuck his foot out so I hoped over it towards second base. The kid was rounding second right as I got past the pitcher. The kid rounded third as the big kid who grabbed me in the first place picked me up. Then it was a foot race to home plate the runner and the pitcher both running but the runner got there first picked up a book tossed a baseball cap to a kid and ran away.

Hello there! My name is baseball, otherwise known as the ball you swing the bat at in baseball. I remember this one pitcher, he was so bad, his fastball was so slow, I thought that I was a sloth. I had only heard about these sloths because I think I heard a tall human talk about what they read in a magazine.

Today was awesome. This weird kid came and tried to untie the knot. Many people came to see him untie it. He untied the knot for a couple of hours and then he took a nap! Then he woke up and started working furiously at the knot.

It was a sunny morning on the baseball field. I ribbited onto the pitchers mound as the kids were playing ball. Strike three! One kid said. As the next kid walked up all the kids thought they knew what was going to happen because they just sat there not paying attention. Batter up! I was just about to start hopping around until, oh no! Croak!

My name is Hester J. Beale and I am the dirtiest person alive. It's been almost two weeks since I've taken a bath because Maniac left, but I'm going to get him back. "Hey Lester, we are going to get Maniac back and I have a plan." I said. "Firsts, we need to figure out how to get these potty pants off. Then we will put them in our room and when Mom, Dad, and Amanda go to get them we will lock them in. Finally, we will run away and find Maniac." I explained.
