Ray Singh's journal.
In mind set of the Character Ray Singh.
Background information:
Ray Singh was the boy in Susie's class who had a massive crush on her. Susie shared the same feeling as Ray did but was not as open as he was. Police officers have found a note in the field, where Susie was murdered. It was a love note that Ray had placed in Susie's notebook without her knowledge. Now that the note was found, Ray is a suspect in Susie Salmon's murder case.
Dear Journal,
The last few days of my life has been hell. I literally feel like my whole world, the one that I have known and loved all my life is falling apart. The love of my life Susie Salmon, who I secretly call Susie Singh because I hoped so much for her to one day share my last name, has been announced dead. When I first heard the news I thought I was in a horrible dream that I would soon be awaken from. However, a couple of days past and I realized that this nightmare was in fact reality. How I miss seeing her walk through the hall way, with her dark blond hair trailing along. Her hair is so dark that it no longer appears blond.
What makes this nightmare worst that anything one could ever imagine is the fact that the police suspects me. They think I have something to do with the disappearance and murder of my sweet Susie. Oh, how dreadful that is, to think I, of all people would do such a heart wrenching act to the girl of my dreams. My mother told me to not bother to the things the police are saying, that she knows her son would never do such a thing, especially to a sweet, innocent girl like Susie. Mommy also lied to the police and said I was not well when they came to our house. A part of me still hopes and prays that this endless nightmare would come to an end, and for my Susie to return, for her never to gone missing...pray, that's all I can do now, I could not picture what the Salmons must be going through. I know it must be way worst than what I'm experiencing but to imagine it would stop the beating of my heart, which is slowly but surely is happening.
-Heartbroken yet Hopeful,
Ray Singh

wow marvelous writing the journal entry. It took me so long to figure out that this wasn't an excerpt from the book. I really enjoyed reading it and I think it was really realistic and sounded like something the character in your book would say.You really looked deep down into the character's emotions,and you explained the situation in first person with a lot of fine details.GOOD Job!

I would love to read this book. I like a lot of romantic types of books. This book seems even more interesting because it also includes murder so it's like a CSI type of thing. Wow I can't believe you actually wrote the journal entry! It was really good and it conveyed the characters feelings. I actually felt like I was reading the book along with you! I hope to read more!!

Your entry was really fantastic. I agree with Rabiya, when she said that your entry was probably something the character would say. Since I am reading the same book as you, I found the diary of Ray Singh as realistic, because that is really what Ray Singh, must be thinking in his mind, ever since Susie's murder. Overall, really great blog!! :)

This book sounds really good. Your journal entry is extremely well written. I think that this is exactly how someone would feel if they were in the same situation as Ray. Its great that you realated to the character and saw things from his point of view. Very creative, great blog!

woah. i read the book "Lovely Bones" and i loved it <3
When I read your journal entry in the voice of Ray Singh, it seemed like something that he'd say. The entry was very believable (<- did i spell that right?) It really sounded like the character, and this was a very creative way to do a blog entry.
your blog looks great =]

Hey, I really enjoyed reading your journal entry. It really made me picture myself in that situation. I found it amazing how you could put yourself in the guys shoes, instead of a girls. That is a difficult task, but you seemed to have pinpointed Ray's emotions. Great job.

Remarkable.
Extraordinary.
Impresive.
Like Rabiya, I had a hard time figuring out that the entry was something you wrote on your own than an excerpt from the book (no offense intended about your writing ♥.) You really got into the head of Ray and presented exactly what he was thinking and how he felt. Reading it was like taking a tour in Ray's mind.
