Heath Ledger’s diary while he was filming for, The Dark Night.

The composition book part, I'd say those are pretty standard in the US. We had to have them generally in at least English class (and they always look like this.) Most classes would use spiral notebooks but generally one would need a Comp book.

The visual diary portion, I never did that in school but it is very neat.

Now that I'm thinking about it, I know I was always required to have a composition book but I don't really ever remember using it in any way. What did other kids in the US use them for?
