The Truth About Diaries Marie Devers
My brother bugs me all the time about my Diary. 1
He wants to know what sisters write in total secrecy.2

I tell him that my Diary is boring as a textbook, 3
but only so he doesn’t try to take a sneaky look. 4

The truth is that my Diary’s like a novel from the store 5
where I’m the leading lady whom the characters adore.6

It’s amazing, how this parchment documents each thing I do: 7
my nightmares, observations, and my love for peach shampoo 8

I explain all my misfortunes in a sister’s constitution, 9
where I outline all my problems and devise my own solutions. 10

What’s unexpected are my words on sibling rivalry11
in spite of how I act, my brother means the world to me. 12

That’s one fact that stays under lock and combination; 13
How embarrassed I would be, if he knew my admiration. 14

Explanation:

I took the test :)

i have read the novel roll of thunder hear my cry by mildred d. taylor.

1. this isn't like any other story i've read or watched because it is about a black family in mississippi right after slavery in the u.s. had become illegal. most of the novels i have read were about slavery. another point is that the author of the novel used symbolism in a way i haven't seen before. for example she uses thunder as something negative meaning something bad will happen. but by the end of the novel, she made thunder a good thing.

2.   one character that changed during the novel was stacey. stacey is the eldest child of the black logan family. around the begging of the novel stacey was avoiding the white boy jeremy simms. he had a dislike for jeremy's family. but at the end of the novel stacey began to like jeremy.

3. the author starts the novel with the problem that the children of the logan family have to avoid the white kid school bus while walking to school.
