- 18. Here is an example of a diary entry from Kat’s point of view. Thursday 23rd April 2020 Dear Diary, Today, Aunty Glo and Salim arrived. They’re going to stay with us before they move to New York. Even though we were at our house, Ted was still dressed in his school uniform. I keep telling him to wear his normal clothes but he won’t. He can be so strange sometimes. Salim seemed to think he looked cool though for some unknown reason but I just find it a bit embarrassing. I quickly said hello to Salim to stop Ted from saying anything else peculiar. When we were having dinner, Auntie Glo started talking about the artist Andy Warhol. Auntie Glo told Mum that some people think Andy Warhol might have been like Ted. That’s when I said that Andy Warhol must have been a weirdo. Mum didn’t look very pleased when I said that. I felt bad because I know Ted just thinks differently from me but sometimes I wish he would just try and fit in a bit more. We’ve decided that tomorrow we’re going to the London Eye. I’ve been before twice and I’m really looking forward to it. Hopefully Ted won’t go on about all the facts he knows about London and the weather while we’re up there.
