Description
Hey, you, yeah you, don't read this book. Nobody reads the description, this is just an excuse for spoilers , this book is not worth your time. Just don't read it Ok? If you really are curious this book is like a rip off of Lord of the Flies or like LOST or something. Except this book has sophomore-age brats instead of just you know... normal aged brats. Twenty three sophomore brats get stranded on an island, and they have to survive. Nothing makes sense and if your not part of the class you probably won't understand half the book. Even if you are part of the class you still probably wound understand or catch half the jokes or references. Don't expect this to be a fun book to read. I'm just warning you. And even if you do decide to read this book [I mean I can't really stop you from reading it] don't blame me for your poorly made life decisions.Oh? you are still here? You wanna know the story behind this stupid excuse of a book?....no? Too bad, here it is...It was Tuesday, March 7 and we had a substitute in humane letters class. We had been given a prep-packet for our upcoming state testing,....but nobody wanted to do it ,so we all sat in silence pretending to be engaged with assignment. I got bored so I leaned over to Madelyne and whispered "what should I draw?" she thought for moment I answered "Draw island that we control,... like our class." so that's exactly what I did. I drew stick figures in black ink onto the back pages of my planner. There was a volcano and a tornado and shark people and Joey and his helicopter as well as a bunch of other random stuff.When break time rolled, around we added random scenes and stuff into the picture. We joked about what would happen if we did get stranded and theorized about who would live and who would die and who would be killed and who would do the killing. We called our imaginary scenario "Bored of the Fries" as a spinoff / rip off of "The Lord of the Flies" by. We made plans and imaginary tribes and kill lists and death charts and timelines. We didn't plan to do anything with them but we took a doodle and ran with it. Finally Sean and I got an idea and we were excited about it. We wanted to do something with these random class jokes and ideas so we decided to write a book. It was only when I had begun putting the story together, when I realized what a big project this was. I went back to school the next day and we decided that we would do this as a class. That we would create the plot together and that I would make it a story. I would take the ideas and jokes and scenarios and memorable moments of the year and create a world. I began it two days before spring break and so I decided to work on it all week so I could finish it by Tuesday the 21st, our first day back from break. Every day during spring break I worked on it an average of five hours per day for 12 days and was disappointed when I hadn't finished it. Little did any of us realize that it would take more than a few months before I could finish it. Every day we would talk about the book, who should die, how would they die, and every day the story got longer, more interesting, more complicated ,over extreme ,but it only got better. We took ideas to the extreme and played with concepts of murder, evil lares, rescue ,dreams, hallucinations, babies, garden gnomes, the list goes on and on. Nothing was too crazy or insane when it came to what our class was capable of creating in their imaginations. This was a group project, everyone contributed to it and it brought us together as a class. I put it on Google docs later on and would work on it while Maggie would follow behind me and edit all my spelling errors (trust me there were a lot) we all did our part and we are created this story it's our story, and all because we made a book out of a simple doodle.
