Jodi Picoult

After much consideration, I decided that Jodi Picoult is one of my favorite authors. Although her writing is under the fiction category, she writes about intense situations that actually occur and includes actual facts about these. For example, in her book 19 minutes this is bout a high school shooting. Her unique writing style is to write in first person from every main characters perspective about the event.

So over this weekend my mom, me, my friend Annette, and her mom all went on college visits through out North and South Carolina and Georgia. This is what my writing will be about through the writing style of Jodi Picoult.

Mrs. Farmer: Long road trips aren't really my favorite thing to do and its my anniversary, but this will be a good experience for Annette and I will just hope for the best sacrificing a little bit this weekend. I mean it can't be too bad; I'm going to get to spend some quality time with my daughter and my best friend. We finally arrived at the universities and it is pouring down but even through this weather I can just tell how beautiful the campus is and so glad that my daughter could have an opportunity to go here; it would be a great experience.

Mom: I've just got so much on my mind lately with everything that is happening back home, but despite that it's going to be so nice to relax and finally see Natalie on the weekend. We used to go on all these swim trips, but now I mainly just get to hang out with Lauren on the weekends. I'm just so excited to pump Natalie up about her academics and really get her going on the right path in order to get into these schools. Wow will this rain ever stop? I just did my hair and make up because I keep bumping into some of my old college buddies, ughh I really want to be looking my best. After all it has been a few years since I've seen them; this is amazing that Natalie is about to be starting her best years here in a little bit.

Natalie: Finally, don't really have to worry about homework or anything else on my mind. I really think the Georgia is going to be impressive especially since we get to stay with Charlotte in her dorm; I just can't wait to meet all her sorority sisters and get to see the college from the students perspective. We've got so much driving to do but atleast I get to be with my best friend the whole weekend and maybe get to go to some really nice restaurants. Also, my mom has just really been a bad mood lately so I hope I can get her to loosen up a bit like it used to be.

Annette: I don't know about some of these schools, but what I am excited for is tonight spending the night with Charlotte. She's just been so sweet and I hope some girls feel comfortable with me to want and visit my college later on. Really, I just can't wait for college, with my brother gone and bragging about how much fun he's always having it's hard not to. Yea, the tours around campus are helpful and show how great the campus, but the best is when I get to stay with my brother at Wofford. He's always introducing and showing me off to all his friends because after all what are big brothers there for?
