Grade 10 (F block): Due before Tuesday, September 20th, 2011
Consider the story "Worry" by Ron Wallace. Pretend that you are either the wife/mother, the husband/father, or the daughter. Write a diary entry from that character's perspective. Be creative!
dear diary, My father and mother worry too much about me: don't take drugs, don't smoke, don't drink. I am not anymore 10 years old they didn't realize that i grew up physically and mentally. They are the ones that have to grow up and stop obsessing me on this non sense . They have even to understand that we are in another time period that people want to go out with friend and have fun tougher. They are so worried that is like they have a second son. This is not fair and i hope they grow up.
Dear diary, It's been a tough day today. I realized my parents think i take drugs, this is so ridiculous. I don't take drugs, i'll never do such thing. The problem is the they worry too much for me. Sometimes i would like to close myself in my room and be alone for a while but mom and dad always come in my room and destroy my tranquillity saying ridiculous worries like: "the bed could break" or "how's your science teacher?" I can't stand this anymore. Sometimes I thought of escaping but if i stop one second and think about my parents i realize they're not that bad in the end, and after all they do this because they love me. Dear diary this is all for today. Talk to you tomorrow to tell you some other problems i'll encounter in my everyday life.
Dear Diary, Today was another day which passed full of worries. I’m so worried about my daughter. She's been doing drugs, and I read her diary (I know I shouldn't have) and it said she has been sleeping around, although Me and my husband, strictly forbid her to. I think we are going over the top about worrying about our daughter, but it is not normal for a 20 year old girl, to do all of the things. Doesn’t she realize in what position she’s putting us? She never calls us, and never visits! I hope she will understand why we keep on worrying about her, and that she will once tell us how she’s been doing. I love my daughter so much, that I can’t stop thinking about her, I hope she communicates with us soon.
Dear diary Yesterday night I went to the Purple Waterfall disco with Jeremy. This disco is so modern and they have "everything" you might want. Jeremy let me try something called ecstasy which makes you feel really strange. I always want more and can't stop getting it. I don't think that something so good can do you any harm. Anyway I don't really care if my parents find out that I'm taking it because they just worry but never really do anything for me. If they really cared, they should have already understood because I have often slept at other houses without telling them and they didn't even realize . Tomorrow i think that Jeremy will ask to marry me. He told me he had to tell me something really important about our love and that he can only ask me in a wonderful restaurant. I am so exited! I can't wait to escape from my parent's house although I don't think they will do anything to to stop me anyway.
