Newspaper Article

I think my final project is going to write a newspaper article on an important event in the story. I'm also thinking about writing about 'back of the book' review.

Life in Danger

If a friend of mine was in danger, hanging off a cliff or something bad I would definitely help them as much as I can, even though it's putting my life in danger. If a complete stranger needed help and if it put my life in danger I am not so sure because I don't even know the person. I mean I would help as much as I can but if the guy is going to die and you already know that then, no, I don't think I would help the person.

I think some people in our community are treated different by how they may dress. For example, people here in Salem dress pretty much around the same and when you see someone from a different country come here and they wear neck to feet dresses all year long, people may think to themselves, let's treat them different because they don't look like us or dress like us.

Compare and Contrast

John Holbrook and William Ashby are both caring and respectful people. John Holbrook, is a shy guy who doesn't really talk for himself much. He is studying with a doctor in medicine and religion. He also wants to marry Mercy but end's up being with Judith because he couldn't stand up for himself and say he wants to be with Mercy. Now William Ashby on the other hand, he is going to marry Kit but he is going to wait for when she is ready to get married. He also has lots of money so he could provide for her when she is ready to take the next step.

Combining Sentences

Hannah Tupper lived by herself in the meadows but people didn't like her. Everyone thought she was a witch because she was a Quaker. Kit, Nat, and Prudence went to visit Hannah anyway and they all thought Hannah was very nice.

Little White Lies

I think it wouldn't be a problem if people told little white lies. Only if their talking about something that's not  important and you wouldn't remember it anyways. For example if I was talking to someone about a dream I had and I couldn't remember all the details so I could possibly tell some little white lies to make the story better or it could just end up worse with the little lies.

Kit went back to Hannah Tupper's house because she wanted Hannah to know that what she said to Kit worked and now she has her job back at the school and she probably wanted to thank Hannah. Also it could be because Kit feels more welcome at Hannah's house and not at her uncle Mattew's house. She can talk about whatever at Hannah's house but not at uncle Mattew's because no one really likes her besides aunt Rachael.

Alone Time

My favorite place to be when I'm alone is Denny's Park.  It's a park down the street from me. Nobody really goes there except on really nice sunny days but that's not till summer usually. There are these really big tall trees, a lot of them and there are two benches in the middle of all the trees and I love to just sit in the middle and look up or or all around, it doesn't really matter. It takes the anger or the sadness or whatever feeling I am in, it just takes it away and I sit there and like to relax. I guess it's soothing for me.

After School

My plans for after school is either find a job if I don't have one or get one, a part time one. I would like to keep busy after school is over, not just sit around like I did last summer and pretty much wasted my summer. I did want to start a class or two in college but I don't have my diploma yet, so I can't. I will get my diploma though. How? I'm going to try and finally get in some Bridge classes, start working on that. I'm not sure what else I can do to try and get my diploma besides just getting  in those Bridge classes but once I start those then I guess I will go from there and get my diploma next year. One thing I know for sure is I am going camping with my family and boyfriend. We go every year to Detroit, usually stay for four nights, five days, and  I guess it's a family tradition for us. The number one top thing I want for summer is to get my driver's licence, instead of this permit.

My biggest pet peeve is when parents put their kids on leashes even the leashes that have a monkey or some type of animal. I don't understand why they do it, if you can't handle you'r children then maybe you shouldn't have a kid but that's what I think. I can see that kids can be over the top sometimes or a little crazy but not enough for them to be put on a leash like a dog. I get if your in Disneyland or the state fair or somewhere that's really busy like those places but not just walking down the street, when you could be holding there hand or pushing them in a stroller.
