Essay Writing: Challenges and Conquests

I have definitely learned a ton about writing essays this year! In middle school it was just like a basic summary of the book and the essay would be three paragraphs long. Now you have to put more thought into how you construct the intro, three bodies, and a conclusion to make up your essay. I have learned how to write a thesis and how to put all the different literary elements together and make your essay more like a report and something that i am more proud of. The purpose of literary elemnts is to get the reader thinkning, you also have questions to answer about the elements that always can make the book way deeper than it actually is.

When i looked at the rubric i noticed how much i repeated the word fate and love. I constantly used those words when i could be using different and more complex words to switch it up. This has always been a huge problem since i was in middle school and i always seem to do it. I also noticed that i didn't embed one of my quotes so it sounded very weird and didn't make sense.

Summer Reading

My first book that i would like to read over the summer is The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks. I saw the movie last month for the first time surprisingly and i loved it!! I have heard that the book is really good and good in depth. I love love stories like this, they are just something that makes you happy and is enjoyable for most girls to read.

The second book i want to read is The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks. This is of course another love story, but its one of his newest books. Its one of those books about a girl in the summer time where she doesn't fit in but then she falls in love with this guy. They end up on spending the whole summer together. It sounds like a really good book!

FATE

My sign is an Aquarius, one meaning shy, gentle, and sensitive. The other is they tend to be active and keep things to themselves. We love to cheer people up!

I am more shy, gentle, and sensitive because when i first meet people its always a little slow. I love talking to people but its always at first it feels weird. I am always active towards people and in sports. People say that i am always smiling and keep a positive attitude. I love to make people smile and laugh. I enjoy to be around people.

Romeo and Juliet were meant to be together. When they first locked eyes they both knew that they were each others true loves. Even though their parents don't approve of their love they keep it strong from how they feel! Fate brought them together.
