When you read a book, the writing can have a kind of personality. You get a feeling for who the writer is and what he or she mig
ht be like to talk to in person. What's your writing voice? Take a few minutes to write a journal entry about the unspoken laws, rules, and codes that you have in your life. What "rules" determine how your friends interact? Are there any "laws" that you have within your family? Pick one of these rules and write a quick story related to it. Think about writing in a voice that captures the way you might speak to a friend.
Your response should be at least 150 words in length.
When I was little, my mama always taught me to be polite. She said it was one of the laws of the universe. That people were sensitive, and defensive and that little girls like me need to grow up knowing how to deal with these people, because they surround us. Some people will be rude, she said; they'll laugh in your face and complain and yell. But you always have to keep an smile on your face, because if you don't, you'll be one of those people. My mama also told me that if you are kind, the universe will reward you. She's always been into the idea of karma, and I always liked the idea of it too. It's a fair system. If you're rude and mean, you don't get very far in life, and if you do you're miserable because you're alone. If you are nice and kind, people will like you, and even when things are tough, you'll always have somebody there for you. And I think that's the best rule someone can have in there life; "Always be kind"
