'You're going to be on television, Addy,' Mr. Lawrence said, as if it were a good thing. As if all seventeen-year-old girls dreamed of being told that and Addy should jump up from her seat, squeal, and thank him for the opportunity.Clearly Addy is not excited about the prospect of being on television. I can relate. I wouldn't want to deal with the pressure of being on television.
So how does your current read begin, and what are your thoughts so far? Please leave the link to your specific post, not just to the front page of your blog.
At seventeen the thought of being on tv would not have thrilled me. I do wonder why she is going to be on television.
ReplyDeleteI can certainly relate to not wanting to be on TV. I don't think I wanted it when I was 17 eiter. Good beginning.
ReplyDeleteGood beginning! Why does Mr.Lawrence thinks that being on TV is a good thing!
ReplyDeleteI liked that beginning! It definitely gives us an immediate image of the girl, who is the MC. And what some of her fears might be.
ReplyDeleteI doubt I would have wanted to be on TV when I was 17...although it may have depended on the reason.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you! It's quite a leap to assume that everyone would want to be on TV. Your teaser does make me wonder whether Addy appears on TV.
