The 3 o' Clock Conference

The last conference was with the author. We talked about her book and how she would feel about it being put into a movie. We talked about the protagonist of her book and how she basically came to be. She mentioned her two favorite authors, one which is mine, Jeanette Winterson, which I thought was really neat. I asked her which book of Winterson's was her favorite, which was "The Passion." Definitely my favorite of Winterson's as well which was just a kewl, minor, connection to an infamous author.

The statement that stood out to me when she said it was something that had to be written down and shared with this class: "Choose your own path and don't let anyone choose it for you." I liked when she said this because it comes close to signifying my own sense of self. I like to march to the beat of my own drum. I am not one to go along with what others say and do, i do what i like; I do indeed choose my own path.
