3 Paragraphs

       In NightJohn we came to find that the characters are negros and are slaves to a brutal farm owner. When a new clave cames in we find that he had been free then came back for only one purpose. To teach others how to read and write, because there story would one day need to be told. So that people would know the truth.
       In Mascot Malcom had to defy a lot of odds and had no support what so ever. He wanted to be a lawyer but nobody thought a negro boy would make it that far. Even when he moves in with a white family he isnt supported fully in what he wants to do. When he moves in with his Aunt in Boston, he sees that maybe he really could be someone.
       In the Great Debaters a similiarty between it and Mascot was that Samnath wanted to be a lawyer just like Malcom but unlike Malcom she had the support of her teachers and her peers. And there is a similarity between John from Nightjohn and Henry from Great debaters. John was freed and went North but came back south because he could read and write. Now its not exactly the same but Henry was gone for awhile, but came back because he said, "its the only place you can read all you want...besides jail". He came back because he wanted to read.

Yeah so wow crazy week...Even though I was sick for like three of the five school days! I really liked the book, wish I could have been there to see the entire movie insted of the end of it but oh well. I am really hoping that I can get into these Trial Research Papers. So went to homecoming and had a great time! Hope that everyone else who went had fun as well :) I really dont know what to talk about because not much happened for me this week other than being sick, I didnt have a large amount of make-up work which I was greatful for. So yeah, I really dont have anything to talk about.

Third Blog

Well so this weekend has been kinda long but also short in a sense. Like I had a horse show yesterday and had to go out to the barn for four hours and help paint today, so that made it seem short. But I had a crap load of HW and Laundry to do so that made it seem long. I think weekends should be three days long, I understand maybe pushing all my Homework to sunday is my fault but when im this busy I dont usually think about doing my homework when im dead tired. But anyway, I guess im doing perty well in the class, I think I have an A. I cant remember I kinda forgot about mt progress report after I got it. Anyway I am loving the book, I really just wanna read ahead but I kind of like not knowing whats gonna happen. I really have nothing to write right now cause I am so tired woke up early yesterday and this morning so I havent really had a real weekend to just relax. So well yeah I guess i'll just see all of you tomorrow...And yes I swear this is fifteen minutes worth of writing!!

2nd Blog Post

Ok, so I’m sitting here waiting for my parents to get ready so we can make the drive down to Nelsonville. And well, I am very bored! And since this has to be about fifteen minutes of writing I don’t want to be doing it later tonight when I get home, so I have decided to do it now. I know, interesting huh? Laugh out loud. Ok so I am like loving To Kill a Mockingbird, the story line is amazing. I would read the whole book in a night if I could, but I want to make it exciting and not know what is going to be happening next, when we read it in class or have reading for homework. The only downer is the study guide because it’s annoying. I understand like how it’s important and all but still, it bugs the crap out of me. I love the book but to have to go back and re-read things I already read to find answers just annoys me. I am not sure why but it just does. But still the book is really great, I am surprised at how many people told me the book was boring and one of the worst books you’ll have to read. I think there people who just don’t like reading or aren’t good at it. Because I love to read and I am good at it, of course I am picky on my books. But yeah, this book is good. Think I could say it again? Well I could but I’m not going to.
                Ok but no this class is probably one of my favorites, even though I dread going to it every day it’s just because it’s English. I love the class itself though, it’s fun. If all we did was read books, write stories then I’d be one happy girl. But since I know that’s not even close to reality it kind of sucks! But hey that’s just my own opinion. Ok well my fifteen minutes are up, see you all tomorrow have a good Sunday!!

First Blog Post

So were suppose to write for fifteen to thirty minutes? And it has to deal with the class? Really, Wow okay lets see how this goes.
        I am not so keen on the idea of this persuasive essay, I really do not like writing them. There just way to hard for me and I am not good at them at all. If I had my choice of what to write I would be writing creative writings all year long in English.
        Other than the essay I really like the class, which is saying a lot because I have never really liked English as a class. Refreshing on Non-Fiction, Fiction and Poetry was alright I guess. I really dont like poetry its very boring to me, well reading it at least. When i have to write it and I have free rein then I like it, but learning about it, and read it. Well lets just say it bores me to tears. I really love fiction though, because I love writing and reading it. Since I plan on writing a book, fiction is something that tends to grab my interest a little more. Because when I read it and learn about it, it shows me how people write and what a good piece of work should look like. Non-Fiction is interesting to me as well even though some people find it boring, when its something about another persons life I just love reading it. I love seeing how other people lived and how it differs from my way of life, its just fascinating!!!
         Yeah well I cant really think of anymore, and my fifteen minutes is done with I dont think I could write for another fifteen more!!
