Stories/Trial

So, I am thinking about posting a blog for my stories but then I found out that I will have to post them on another blog...which will be called my story blog?
I dunno, I'll link that story blog to this blog. :)


Anyway, I'm happy! :)

My English class performed a mock trial today and we, Prosecution, won! Horray! :D
We read the book, The Turn of the Screw by Henry James, about a month ago and studied the book for a whole month before putting the mock trial into motion.
Several people were chosen to act as the witnesses (the characters in the book) and all 5 of the Advanced Sophomore English classes were divided equally into Prosecution and Defense.

For those who don't know, in order to prove your case in court, you have to question the witness. However, there are certain questions you cannot ask because they can be objected to. You cannot "lead the witness," "badger the witness," or ask a question that is "non-factual."
By leading the witness, you cannot state the answer in the question. (i.e. "You were afraid at that point, right?" The answer is already stated in the question.)
By badgering the witness, you cannot harass the witness, forcing them to repeat the same information over and over again.
By asking a question that is "non-factual," you cannot make assumptions or state things that have not been established before. (i.e. "Flora, what were you thinking when you were talking to Miss Jessel?" You have to establish the fact that the two were talking before you can answer the question.)

As you can see, law is very hard. I caught many times that my group, Prosecution, was leading the witness but Defense never caught on those times. Also, it's very hard to cross examine since you have barely enough time to prepare for those rebuttals.

Still, we won.
That's all that matters.
>:D

Anyway, that's the summary/highlight of my week.
What was yours?

Oh, random question:
Do you believe in love at first sight or lust at first sight? (Hint: There is a difference)

Firsts

Wow, my first blog, huh?
It feels weird, writing about my life.
I write stories, fictional stories, not life stories really.
Which gets me to my next point.
I will be posting up my stories on here if anyone wants to read them. :)
And FYI, they include Korean celebrities/artists.
'Cause that's how I roll. :P

I guess I'll just be blogging about stuff I like to do, stuff that has happened and stuff that's on my mind.
I've already started a semi-blog on another website so I'll post them on here as well. :D
Until next time! :D
