When I was growing up, I loved Mad Libs. The excitement of sort of writing your own story really appealed to me. So I thought it would be fun to mesh that love with my love of books by turning blurbs into mad libs and letting you guys write your own book blurbs.
For anyone that doesn't know how Mad Libs work, I will ask you for certain parts of speech or other specific things (i.e.: date, age, color, etc.) which you will write down. After you have completed your list, scroll down below the cover image to find the redacted blurb. Then read through it substituting your words where applicable. Try not to laugh. (Laughing is actually strongly encouraged, because this is supposed to be funny.)
Some brief definitions of the parts of speech.
Noun: Person, place, or thing.
Verb: Describes or indicates action.
Adverb: Modifies a verb, adjective, or other adverb expressing manner, place, time, or degree (gently, here, now, very).
Adjective: Names an attribute of a noun (pretty, blue, large)
Pronoun: A word that can function as a noun (I, we, they)
Preposition: a word that combines with a noun or pronoun to form a phrase that usually acts as an adverb, adjective, or noun (on, after, for)
And with that, here we go.
1: Adjective
2: Verb
3: Noun
4: Verb ending in ing
5: Plural noun
6: Verb
7: Noun
8: Adjective
9: Verb
10: Noun

ReplyDeleteHello, Lenora. I'm glad to see that even though you blocked me on Facebook after coming to my wall to harass me you're still finding ways to get your opinions out into the world. If I am the racist that you say I am, by all means prove it to the world. Post the screenshots you claim to have so the whole world can see how racist I am. Rest assured that I will be posting the screenshots of all your harassment soon enough. - Katie
