Essay Writing

Even though we have been writing essays all year long I am still not confindent in my writing. I am much better at writing a good thesis, but thinking of good commentary is hard for me. I always want to use concrete detail; probably because it is so much easier. Annalyzing is also easier, but putting it into an essay is tough. I think I might take a writing class over the summer to help me next year with honors english 10.

When writing my essay I hardly ever have very good transitioning sentences, which breaks the flow of reading it. Like I said, I also have a hard time writing commentary. I could also improve on my hooks. I am sure there are other things I could improve on that would take my "B" essay to and "A" essay, but I dont know what all the other problems are.

Summer Reading List

The two books that are at the top of my summer reading list are Burned by P.C cast and kristen cast and Mockingjay by Suzanne collins. The first book listed as been out for a while and I have been meaning to buy it. I think it is the 5th book in Marked series. The series in about vampyres(That's how it is spelled in the book.)When I bought the first book it was meant as a present for Ahlora, but after she finished it, it was just collecting dust on her shelf, so I decided to borrow it from her. After the first book I was hooked, but not as much as I am hooked to the Hunger Game series. After I read the first book I had a deep desire to read the next. It was like torture waiting for the next novel to be released. I am really looking forward to Mockingjay to be released.(It comes out in August!!! YAY!!) I would try to explain the story line myself, but it is way to confusing. I wouldn't know where to start. I also plan on reading many other books because reading is my favorite hobby.

Theme and Motif: dreams

The dreams that I usually have that could actually have an affect on my reality is my mom getting mad at me for not telling her something. Just this week I dreamt that I hadn't told my mom that there was a half day and a meet on Saturday, so of course she starts yelling at me and telling me how I never tell her anything in advance. Dreams like these feel so real to me that when I actually thought about telling my mom the next day I thought I had, but later on remember that, no I had not informed her. To avoid the confrentation in my dream I told my mom in advance things that were going on in my life that week. Sometimes I have other dreams about boys or just weird things that make no sense, but I still think they all have some sort of impact on my life.

Romeo and I are alike in this way. No matter what kind of dream I have I think it has something to do with my actual life. One time I had a dream about this guy, so I thought well maybe I subcounsiouly like him and I don't know it or maybe he likes me and I should be avoiding it. Kind of how my dreams are my fate, in a way. Like Romeo thinks his dream about the party will eventually cause his death.
