A century ago, a middle aged woman fought the battle of her life. My co-worker and I were sitting at the table watching the kids eat lunch and she was cleaning out her bag. While cleaning out her bag she pulled out this bottle of spray. I looked at it, and I asked her what that was. She told me that it was her deodorant.

The character of this story puts theirselves into the book being read. From this reading I took that if a story is well written, then a person can get lost in the book. When I am reading a book, I get lost in the images that I have created in my head. The authors use of wording at times is difficult to understand.

When it came time to tweet, it was very hard for me to tweet all the time. First off, I couldnt get twitter on my phone. Even though I am always running, I could only tweet when I had my laptop accessible to me. When I chose my place, I picked a place that was full of laughter. I picked a place that had several fun memories or jokes were told. I picked a place that made me laugh. I wanted to go another way, so I decided to go the comical way.
