Essayist

I definatly feel liked an accomplished essayist. I think anyone should if they try there hardest on the essay no matter what the grade turns out to be, but if you didn't get a good grade there is always room to improve. The literary analysis has definatly helped me out this year. The purpose I see out of it is as writers we can learn out bad habbits and simple mistakes and ultimatly become better writers from it. Some challenges of the literary analysis is getting what its asking. Sometimes I dont really get the mistakes it says I should look out for and it confuses me. Overall though the reward is definatly good if you understand it and it will make you a better writer.
To tell the truth I think I did pretty good on my essay. The weak parts is I use alot of the same transition words and I need to elaborate a little more on my concrete details and commentary. Other than this I do feel pretty good about my essay and the good grade that I will hopefully get with it.

Summer reading list

In my time that I've been on earth I have read probably about 20 or 30 books. Thus leaving my choices for a book very big. The first book I want to read is The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck because you have to in order to get into honors ten. So this must be a good book if there going to force us to read it. The second book i want to read is The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexander Dumas. I want to read this so i can say I've read a 1,000 page book and I thought the movie was ok and the book is always better than the movie so the book has got to be better than the movie. Thats my list.

DREAMS

In all my dreams that I have ever had one still sticks in my memory to this very date. It was the night before my first football game ever. I was so nervous and couldn't fall asleep. Eventually tired over took me. In my dream I dreamt that I would score a touchdown on a awesome run. The next thing I dreamt was that I would break my foot the next day later in the game. Eventually I woke up and the next thing I new it was game time. I hoped that I would get the touchdown and not break my foot. I was very cautious in the first half. in the second half i completely forgot and scored a touchdown and ended up breaking my foot. Truthfully I have to side with Mercutio in the fact that I don't really believe in dreams. Dreams are a huge motif in this third act. they have foreshadowed a lot of whats gonna happen soon with death and the characters fate from their decisions.
