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: Theme

Alejandra Lopez
English 8-6
March 11, 2010

Even though Naomi's story is based on what happened to her after her amnesia accident, I think that it is mainly about finding who you really are, what your made of, and finding what your potential is. I think that the message was effective because everyone does need to find his/ her true self because in the end that is what really matters. There were very few, other possible themes, but one would be finding who your friends really are and see if they truly are your friend or not. Another would also be that not everything has to be 'by the book' "sometimes, a girl needs to lose" (5). That just doesn't directly go to girls but to anyone losing will sometimes take you to the direction that you need to be in just like learning from your mistakes it is okay to lose. I believe that this relates to many other novels and almost everyone's lives because everyone has to find their true self.
