Instructions

Hello, Sixth Period!

For your ORB written assignment, I am requiring that you make three postings to this blog about your ORB. You must choose three different options from the "blogging options" handout (on First Class). I am looking for superb commentary, which should make obvious why your ORB "educates your conscience."

Please, adhere to the expectations on the rubric (also on First Class).

Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac: character sketch

Alejandra Lopez
English 8-6

Naomi Porter

My first impression of Naomi Porter was popular, kind, laid-back, and sporty. She did not come off as a mean, shy, or loud person, she was more of a normal 17 year old girl. She doesn't remind me of anyone I know, but she does remind me of a somewhat typical teenager. Even though she has amnesia she seems that she is trying to go through life figuring out who she was, is, and will be. With a boyfriend whom she has no idea why she liked in the first place, a friend whom she later understands was and will always be there for her, and a boy whom she meets with a "questionable past" and "even fuzzier future", she gets through it all discovering new things in her life that she would have been better off with. As well as in school, she is still trying to figure out why she joined yearbook, how she could possibly come up with a photography project due in two weeks, and on top of all of that she joins the musical. Another place she is still trying to figure out everything is at home. Even though she has a mom and a dad she is still confused why her dad and mom are never together, forgetting that her parents are divorced, with her mom already having a new family and her dad having a fiancee. Even though Naomi is recovering from her recent amnesia accident she still acts and seems like a normal teenager trying to get through life discovering new things about herself beyond what she imagined.
