The Final Blog

I feel that all my blogs were just pretty much about what i need to write, and some what i want to write because that is what blogging is about, your not suppose to be serious when you blog, you have to have fun. I especially Loved the e.c blogs because one, they helped my grade and they were about all the fun subjects i liked to write about,the e.c blogs were the best blogs in the entire year and i am sure everyone can agree on. in the beginning I wasn't excited about blogging because i am a bad writer, but these blogs helped me so much because i had a chance to expose what i wrote and get feedback on it too, even though comments aren't always good, however to me the worst comments are the best ones because i can learn from them and improve what i did wrong. Honestly i really can't tell what significance my blog is except just a average blog talking about what I feel or what i should be writing etc.
The quote "What we think, we become" by Buddha is the quote that would describe not only mine, but everyone's as well because what we blog about is what we've been holding back in our minds and waiting to let out your thoughts. That quote is really what describes me because what i wrote like my goals or what i will i do plan to do them.
Blogging in this class to some is a drag and is stupid, but to me its an opportunity to increase my grade and actually have fun doing so as well, I hope i have you as a Junior so i can blog once again

I think that i am an accomplished essayist, not that i wasn't before, but now i feel like i have gotten better, but for me i only actually write the essay "GOOD" if i actually like the subject, and i won't lie because i really don't like writing about the subjects in the past, and i didn't enjoy writing about Romeo and Juliet either because i had to reread it over again to try to understand it more. This year i learned the most important thing that i feel is important to essays, the thesis and how you transition from paragraph to paragraph or sentence to sentence. I personally think im really bad at writing because im just bad at writing, but this year i learned things that would prepare me for next year.

I just need a B or higher grade on this essay so that my overall grade won't fall too much and still give me a cvhance to bring it up into an A in the end. i think that the only thing i am worried about is going off topic too much and more than five errors in conventions, but with the weekend to fix things i hope i can get it right.

Summer Reading List

if i were to read two books over the summer, they would both be from Suzanne Collins, her novels Catching Fireand Mockingjayboth sequels from her first book Hunger games.
the main reason why i want to read her books so much is the first book Hunger game caught my attention so much i read it again, thats right i read the same book twice, and i've never done that before, and the first time i read it i read it for over 4 or 5 hours straight. her books are so intense and filled with action and also filled with tragedies that make you continue reading to find out what ill happen next.
i know everyone says whatever book they're going to read is really good and everyone should read it, but that is their personal opinion but this book EVERYONE can read and i am not joking

Fate

Me, My birthday is on august 8th and the Leo's traits is being ambitious, confident, independent, loyal, and generous. Leo's are perfectionists that try to do everything as well as they can, even when people say its already good they know they can make it better, but some Leo's can be domineering, bossy, and stubborn and think that they are right about everything even if others tell them their not.

This is actually really accurate as i try my best on everything i do, and i set high standards for what i do and believe that it will come true but it will be me that decides if it will. Some people wouldn't believe that generosity is my strongest trait, but those that know me well enough i am really generous, but sometimes i can become extremely stubborn as well because i am so sure it is correct when it actually isn't.

in the play, Romeo and Juliet fate often comes into the play as Romeo often comes up on his future, for example when Romeo hears about his punishment he tell Friar Ha, banishment! Be merciful, say “death,” this is basically saying his fate will only he death as he would chose death over exil

R&J in Modern culture

In my reference of how Romeo and Juliet has effected the modern culture, I used a Chinese TVB Series The Proud Twins because in the movie similar to Romeo and Juliet the main characters a male and female fall in love, but the male is REALLY poor, and the female is extremely rich, so their chances of being in love were unheard of, but love over came that, but unfortunately even the ending is so alike, the female character actually dies, but the male is left alive.
In this movie it is half drama and half comedy, even with all the deaths the funny parts of the movie make it seem like the end will be a happy one.
When I read the blog my mind instantly thought of that series, because it is just SO similar, the link is right below, but there are no English subtitles

E.C

in 8th grade i heard my cousin talk about how "complicated" its going to be once i go into honors english, but as the year began and i went into the classroom i was expecting to do really bad on the summer assignment because i literally did it 2 days before school started. but once i saw Mrs. Gilman i just knew it was going to be a really fun and easy year.
during the year we did projects and read books after books, but to my suprise it was all most one of the easiest and most fun classes i have since middle school and highschool. but i really hated reading because i really just space off when i am reading, but it is all made up because of the discussions Mrs Gilman makes us do, to tell the truth that is where i understood and learned most of the stuff we had to read.
But if it were possible it would be sweet if Mrs Gilman was the 10th grade honors english teacher

Skit Prep

the scenes in The Great Expectations that I think would be sweet will definitely be when the two convicts are fighting each other in the marshes, one trying to get away, and one trying to capture the other, it would be a easy skit to perform, but also very fun.
the second scene when pip gets home and immediately gets beaten by Mrs Joe, it would be really funny to see what groups would do when they are acting it out.
the final scene would of course be the fight between pip and the pale young gentleman as pip completely beats him up, it would really funny to watch and really fun to perform it as well
