    I will post here all my stuff that needs to be reviewed for my project. The teacher did say to let others proofread my work! 🙂

    Some quick background info on it. We have to make a “myspace” about a charcter in our book. I chose Regan for the character.

    So now I have this packet that has questions that I need to fill out and make into a myspace for Regan.

     

    Here is the Summary of her life:

      I live in a huge house in Georgetown, D.C. with my mother, Sharon Spencer, and Willie and Karl . I don’t remember a few months after I turned 12. Mommy said I was very sick. It’s all a big painful blur to me though! I do remember my friend Captain Howdy. He would burn me, throw me, and hurt me. I didn’t like that, but he didn’t stop. Mommy had a friend that disappeared, his name was Burke Dennings, I didn’t like him. He died though, Mommy would not tell me how. I also heard that two priests died in our house, but I know nothing of the sort. Mommy said we will be moving, and now I have to pack everything and move again!

     

    What do you think? Should I include more? I was aiming to do it from her point and such. Thanks in advance if

    you help!

    So this is like Regan's diary!! I love everything you've written so far. As you know I'm devoted to Regan of the novel and you're so lucky to be doing this project!! Can you type all the questions from the packet? And did the facts about her in my myspace help any?

    You could also add a text in the diary about Regan's dreams after the exorcism happened.

     

    Here's an excerpt from the original epilogue in which Regan talks about her dream:

    (well, I'm actually re-writing most of the excerpt. I'll post everything soon ) 

     

    Chris went upstairs to Regan’s bedroom. She found her daughter sitting on the window sill, staring out, hands clasped lightly behind her back. Chris moved forward to the window slowly. Gazing down at the lovely reddish blond innocence of her child, Chris felt suddenly chilled throughout.  

        “Mom, I remembered a nightmare I had .”

        “What nightmare, sweetheart?”

        Regan hesitated, then said, “There was a man who jumped out of the window. A man in a funny black dress.”

    Thank you Sof! I'll be sure to type up the questions soon! I'll post my anwsers to the ones I have anwsered. I am puzzled on some.

     

    I'll try to fit that in Sof, that is a good idea.

     

    Also, do you have powerpoint or a powerpoint viewer? It would be great if you could see my project thus far.

    For her top five songs I was thinking:

    Panic Attack by Dream Theater: the lyrics apply to her mental and pyshcial health.

    Lithium by Evanscence: the lyrics kind of appley how she may feel lonely at night and  yeah.

    Monster by Skillet: It really explains how Regan proabrably felt posessed. Look up the lyrics, it's good.

    Another Brick In The Wall Part 1 By Pink Floyd: Because the lyrics say “daddy's gone leaving just a memory” and yeah.

    I still need 1 more!

    weaknesses: (what would you consider Regan's weakness to be?)

    Thank you for the help Sof! You're the best! I was thinking for a witness maybe it could be not being with her mother all the time.

     

    I'll try and figure out how to send a powerpoint, probably via e-mail.

    For the question about weaknesses, think toward the positives of what a 12-year-old may have on her mind. “Weaknesses” are not necessarily all-encompassing negatives; i.e., Regan has a weakness for cookies that may ruin her dinner.

    Okay! Here is a picture that will be in it. All drawn by me! I kind of based it on your sim, because I think that is the best visual of her. ;D

    I just checked your powerpoint!! OMGosh!! It's so beautiful, dreamy, haunting!! I Love it! You even used a lot of my Sims pictures and that 'pounting pic' in Shirley & Sachi's honor! 

    I Love the picture you drew of Sachi/Regan half possessed on one side, normal on the other! It makes me think of those creepy two faced clown. 🙂 You're really creative!

    Thank you Sof! And I just couldn't help but use alot of your pictures. They are just perfect for the book, and i'll give you credit too. 😉

     

    ANd for the picture, I couldn't decide between normal or possessed, so I did both! And thank you so much again!
