One of my best friends is Nicole Ide. She is a very interesting and unusual child. She has light brown hair and always wears it straight even though she has naturally amazing curly hair. Although she can be quiet at times she is usually loud and obnoxious. She always has something to say about everything unless shes in a bad mood.



Nicole is definitely an extrovert person. She is very creative when she wants to be. She is the furthest thing from an egotisit or egoist and usually is an altruist.

My earliest childhood memory is probably my first day of preschool. I was super excited to finally start school. I had watched my brother go to school everyday and had always wanted to go with him so I was really happy when I finally got to go too.

When I first got to my preschool I didn't want my mom to leave me by myself because i didn't know anyone. But then I met Kendra. I thought she was weird at first but then we became good friends playing house and playing on the little playground.

Rebecca:imagery

The author Daphne du Maurier used imagery throughout her book to create suspense. Most of the imagery is about the mansion, Manderley, that the main character lives in becuase Maurier wants to create a perfect image of it in your head. It also helps move the story along because everytime the mood of the character changes, the image of the house is altered in her mind.

Along with making the book more interesting and exciting to read, the use of imagery throughout the book contributes to the theme. The theme remains the same and the view of the house from the main characters perspective makes the overall reading suspenseful and interesting.

Rebecca By Daphne Du Maurier

In the first two chapters I did not like this book at all. It didnt grab my attention and was sort of confusing. But as the book went on it got better and i started to understand the plot. In the book, imagery is a big literary element. The author explains everything in great detail and you can really see that thing that she is talking about. I think she is using imagery because she wants to take you deeper into the main characters world. The tone of the book is probably somber. In the chapters that i have read, everything is going great for the main character but with everything that is happening she is always thinking of Rebecca and it haunts her. So far, this has been the tone throughout the first few chapters.
