Matt hates Annie

Dear Annie,

Hi Annie. I'd just like you to know how much I hate it when you say I love you. Your mind is just playing tricks on you. I am not in love with you and you are not in love with me. I hate the way you hold my hand and look at me in the middle of class, it makes me sick. You follow me in the hallways calling my name and I just walk faster. My friends make fun of me because of how wierd you are. All those stupid voices you use just make me want to throw up. In the end I will NEVER love you.

With Hatred,
Matt

My Love

Dear Beach,

I love everything about you. When I am with you I get to scrunch my toes in the sand. My family is always with me when you are around. I love being able to spend seemingly endless days in the sun and by the ocean. I could spend all the time in the world with you. I am always happy when you are right beside me. The beach also involves voleyball which is my favorite! Swimnming with the fish and sharks scares me a little but in the end it is always worth it to be at the beach. Finding the best seashells is always a great feeling. At night time I get to have a great time finding the little albino-looking crabs which is gross but fun. The beach is mey favorite place in the world and I love it!

Forever and Always,
Megan

Thoughts on Macbeth

Like many of my other classmates, at first I was not very thrilled to be reading this but I got over it. Now that we are into it a little bit I like it but I still do not think I would choose to read this. As for the language, it is a little hard for me to understand. I have to re-read a lot of things to fully understand them, but then when I focus on one thing I get lost in the whole paragraph. So far it is not too gruesome for me because that kind of stuff does not really bother me. Overall, it is a lot easier to understand it when there is someone guiding me through it so that helps me a lot.

Geoffrey Chaucer

Geoffery Chaucer is known as the author of The Canterbary Tales. Many people also think of him as the father of english literature. Chaucer was born in london and was the son of a prosperous wine merchant. He could read Latin, French, and Italian.

My Writing

English has never been my strongest subject. My formal writing has struggled a little bit too. Freshman year I wrote how I talked. Now I have come to realize that it doesn't sound very good, especially for formal writing. Also freshamn year it was hard for me to organize my thoughts. I knew what I wanted to say, but I didn't know how to explain it on paper. I think many people struggle with grammar and punctuation, and I am definetly one of them. Last year I started reading a lot more, so my vocabulary has gotten a lot better and I think that has helped out a lot. As of rght now, the thing I need work on right now would be my thesis statements and my sentences. Howeveer, this year I really hope to change that.

My Hero

Family is a big part of my life and I do not know where or who I would be without them today. The one that would probably be the most important to me and who I would call my hero, would be my grandma. She is living a long and happy life. Throughout the years she has taught me that to have greatness in your life, you have to earn it. This is exactly what she did because in her early years she went through some tough times but she eventually overcame them. She worked all her life, found a husband, and made a family. Now she is happily retired and comes to see my family and I whenever she can. Other than this she has taught many other things that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. We are very close and I do not know what I would do without her. I look up to my grandma and she influences me in many ways and she does not even know it.
