Reflection on Essays and stories

Since last year i have had a weakness of summarizing the story; my goal for a long time was to not summarize. I finally achieved that goal. I learned to write about the symbols or a character or the lesson of the story. All the little things that you can pull out of the story to write about. I think my new goal would be to advance my word choice for my stories or essays and learn to write a better thesis.

My other goal is when i get the assignment to write an essay to go ahead and do it right away so i first off don't forget about it and second so its done and i can keep going back to it if i think of something or so i can go back and proof read it or edit it. I have never been really good at writing but i still want to improve and do better.

John Smith Responce.

The theme is to show how all of these guys named john brown are all at diffrent ages and how their lives can relate and be difffrent.
We watched this show because is shhows how similuar other people's lives can be and they dont always have the same name.

They were all alike in manyways, They way the mom described her son or the dad on the baby john smith decribed that thanksgiving dinner and to see that that moment actully was happening, Was amazing.

They were diffrent because one of the john smiths was into drugs another lost his mom. Another had his son in the military some have childern others dont they are all diffrent ages and are going through diffrent experiences in their own life.

Life experiences that we all share are losing a loved one, haveing childeren when we get there, Some people might have problems with drugs and others might have lost there job or not gotten the job they wanted.

Ice Cream Social: Review

Well one of the few things i am afraid of is Freshman kill day. Last year people went around the the stickiest things they could find; Pancake batter, syrup, and old milk. Gross. I do not want that happening this year. I am also nervous of finding my classes on time. Or How the learning will be different in the high school. I am excited for cheer leading to start. Thats my main sport that i enjoy.

Poem: Missing You

My tears were falling like the water in a waterfall, you are in my heart and are never forgotten; who knew that day would be my last good bye. I pray you are in heaven and happy with all my decisions today. I want you to be proud and love me everyday.

Cythinia's Point of View

Okay well you see, everyone thinks I'm naturally talented and that i don't practice for anything. When really i lied. In stead of going home and playing handball and watching television like i always say i do; I'm really hat home studying or practicing the piano. Sometimes i feel bad for the way i act around the other girls, I'm just trying to impress them. Then you have squeaky, She has this brother who gets picked on alot so she is always standing up for him, she is also a runner and has alot of courage. Gretchen is the one who picks on Raymond (squeaky's bother) the most. She is always my competition for the spelling bee and squeaky's competition for the race.

Journal: Free Write

Well, Cheer leading tryouts are coming up, and I'm really nervous. Making this team means so much to me. I don't want to just make any team i want to make Varsity. If i don't make Varsity i will still work hard so that i can make it next year.
