diary entry

Dear diary
I am having mixed emotions on whether i am happy to return home or not. Things between Blanche and Stella seemed to have gone from bad to worse. Why cant they sort things out? Only now Blanche wont talk she just sits there in a daze almost as if shes not here. She doesnt talk much and when she does shes badmouthing stanley calling him all the names under the sun, behind his back obviously and i dont think i can deal with that. Hes my husband and i shouldnt be putting up with the bad abuse that she calls him. I also thought she would be ecstatic to see the baby, she didnt look like she was happy to see it, it was almost as if i've disappointed her. Perhaps she's jealous like stanley suggested? But she seemed to excited when i was pregnant so what changed?
Im just so scared that things between them will turn so cold that one of them will just have to leave. i couldnt possibly choose they both mean so much to me, Blanche is my older sister whos been there for me for most of her life and stanley is the love of my life and now the father of my baby. But i know i cant bring up my child where there is constant conflict. Stanley has always been keen on her to leave and perhaps now is the right time? Oh lord i dont to what to think right now! I need to make a decision.
Maybe if she did leave then she could try building a future for herself with that Shep guy shes always mentioning.she would be alot happier then she is right now, i honestly just want the best for her. It would also mean that Stanley and I could concentrate on raising our child properly. Its not like Blanche can never visit, shes always welcome but for now i think i need a break and hopefully Stanley will realise that them two arguing and bickering all the time was trivial.

  1. www: i like the way you've put yourself in Stellas position and really express her feelings towards everything. It shows you have satisfactory knowledge of the book.

    ebi: try and relate the events that has occurred in the book in your writing. Plus dont get your characters mixed up LOL :)

  2. www I liked this. You have made a conscious effort to use some of the knowledge of the text and especially the scenes which precede the time of the writing task.

    ebi you could go further and be more specific even quote from the dialogue of the previous scenes to make the diary more credible and the character's dilemma clearer. Also, check your punctuation - especially apostrophes.
