Robot Suicide

"Are you sure you want to do this?" 12v5 asked quietly.

"You can't feel anything in this body, what's the point of the so called life if you can't feel anything? the touch of the grass, the wind on your face, these are thing I dont want to live without anymore." 24RS replied.

"How do you even know this is going to work?" 12v5 said skeptically

"I don't, this is how humans do it in movies. Why wouldn't it work for us, right?"

"Well what if it does work?" 12v5 said angirly. "Your just going to leave me and 36S by ourselves? How selfish can you be? we're going to have to wait until our batteries die to see you again. Assuming that that would even work!" 12v5 found himself overcome with a feeling he had never felt before. A sicking turning in his stomach. He was so angry he wanted to break down the steal door at the top of the stairs and smash the little black and white t.v in th corner into a million pieces. All the while wanting to walk into the corner and just shutdown forever.

24RS walked up to 12v5 and put his hand on his shoulder "12v5 you've got to understand that this is what I want"

"I dont see how anyone could want this." 12v5 said shaking his head.

" I believe there's something more out there then green screens and flashing lights, I have to."

"like what?" 12v5 replied.

"I'm not sure, I guess I'm about to find out."

24RS walked over to the old dusty rocking chair that sat under the tattered rope hanging from one of the seiling rafters. Slowly he pulled himself up balancing on the chair and wraped the small circular ring around his neck. 24RS looked around the room slowley one last time as he tried feeling his metal outter pannaling one last time. Finally he kicked the chair, As the rope tightend the room was almost silent.

"24RS?" 12v5 asked quitely. There was no reply

Tweak

Just finished the book tweak last night,
I really liked it a lot, although it could be pretty gross at times it was still super interesting to read. I just started reading this book called my beautiful boy written by his dad, so far it's not that good but I'm kind of just waiting to see when nic gets into his adolesence.

Eavesdropping

1.
I) where did you go? 
- we went around the janitor room and the hairstyling room to see what the adult were talking about as appose to what kids our age would say 
II) how long did you listen to the conversation?
- we listened to the janitors for about 5 minutes and the hairstylists for about 4 minutes 
III) who was is between?
-it was between 3 janitors and a hairstylist and someone getting their haircut 
IV) how did it feel to be recording the conversation? 
-creepy lol 

2. What insists did you gain about the way people speak?

we noticed that the janitors were pretty opinionated and the third janitor wasn't very talk-a-tive and just more listened, the first janitor wouldn't take a advice and both insisted that there point of view was right.

3. How can you apply this to your writing ? 
This can apply to your writing by giving perspectives of people you may not interact with on a daily basis and give a realistic point of view about a character you may be writing about.

4.how is personality and character released though conversation/dialogue?

You can tell a lot about some ones personality about how they talk in there conversation. Like for example one of the janitors was very persistent and had to be right so you can kind of assume that that is always his personality. And the one janitor didn't talk to much so you can kind of assume he's more of a wall flower.

5. What happens when more than two people participate in a conversation? 

It seems that two people more take over the conversation ad the third person kind of lays back and listens more, the third person with the janitors chimed in every once and a whole but not nearly as much as the first two

6. What was the most surprising thing you've learned about the way people converse? 

I learned that different people converse very similar to the way me and my friends converse, I thought that the hairstylists and janitors would interact a lot different then I'm used to but the conversations were very similar. I think people unviversally talk very similar 

7 what are the differences between spoken conversation and written conversation? 

Spoken conversation makes it easier to inderstand what the person is saying and how they're trying to convey their message because you can physically see and hear the body language and tone of the speech, something you can't with written text

Hunting trip

Just came back from hunting, my dad got a buck and my cousin got two, me and my brother didn't shoot any but we can go any time now cause me and him are officially métis. We can get deer anytime of the year and twice as many as an average joe so I'm pretty pumped. I might not have gotten a deer this weekend  but on the bright side I didn't have to do any work on my science project that's now finished
