Diction Post

This here past week me and my football team had a football game at one of them prepetory schools. The ride up to the game was pretty fun. I sat myself down with a few of my friends and we listened to some music, yelled at people out the window, and made our coach pretty mad in doing so... When we got closer to the school we could tell that this school was nothin' like ours. The first thing we saw was the ginormo basketball / volleyball gym they just put in. The whole lot was... well... big. Then we got off the bus, in the parking lot just above the field we'd be playin' on. We saw there team and I for one thought they looked pretty puny. When we all got down to field level we figured out we was wrong.

Since we had gotten stuck in traffic on the way to the game we were a little bit late. So we had to hustle to get our gear on because the refs weren't going to wait for us to start the game. We hustled, but after about five minutes our coach persuaded them referees to give us a few more minutes. On the first kickoff we returned it pretty far and I thought that the game would be easy. Then we fumbled, twice, on our first two drives. And they scored, on there first two drives. There QB had a rocket attached to his arm and there starting wide out could catch like he had sticky glue on his hands. Well long story short, we lost, by quite a bit. Too many turnovers, not good enough blocking, and to top it all off, too small of a secondary... All in all it was a fun time.

Slaughterhouse-Five

So far I am enjoying the outside reading book, Slaughterhouse-Five. I'm around page 90 in my reading and the plot is sort of beginning to straighten out. At first sometimes you couldn't even tell where they were or what they doing because the narrator was somewhat scattered. But now there is one narrator from what I can tell and his name is Billy Pilgrim. He might have a mental problem because right after a he was in a plane crash in which he was the only survivor he thinks he was abducted by aliens named Tralfamadorians. I think the book is written within a book, within a book? The setting in the book is confusing more than anything else. One character who is writing a book about Dresden, in which Pilgrim is in, skips from flashbacks to present tense to book scenes. So the time and place is always changing. I have read many war books before and not many relate to this book, but there is one that I've read, The Rifle, that relates because both skip around in the setting and both don't have one, set narrator. So far I think that I am doing a movie with Mathew Geisler and Josh Allen about the book. I think that we have to select a few parts, as opposed the whole book, to illustrate in the movie or else it might be too confusing.
