Character Diary for a Lesson Before Dying

Character Diary

1st Entry

They say that expressing your feelings in diaries that everything else in life becomes easier that if you take the time to look inside yourself and let out everything your thinking and everything your feeling life suddenly becomes better than it every was because at least you know exactly what you are thinking at that moment and there is no one there to tell you that you are wrong. I just bought this old looking thing at Miss Calhoun’s yard sale today she said there was no point in just having it sit in an old box in the back of her closet someone out there must be able to use it better than she had been. I think the people in town think that might life is so easy I mean all I have to do is tech students in a building all day but really it’s a lot more than that I have to get them to learn and maybe my job is not physically as hard as there’s but I do have to work just as hard as they do. Emma this little girl in my class gave me a very hard time today he comes from one of the smaller families in town and has no brothers or sisters her parents own this little shop on the outside of town. So I’m guessing because she has no siblings at home when she is around people her own age she tries to get in as much time with them as she can, even if she is supposed to be doing at assignment. Well today was no different. Every time I would turn away from the black board she would be talking to her friend Justine finally I had to move the two away from each other. I moved her three times before I had to hit her with the ruler and put her in the corner and even after all of that she was still mouthing things across the class room I wouldn’t even know that it one of the little boys hadn’t said that he didn’t know what she was trying to say. Well I think I’m going to go to bed another long day tomorrow.
