Side Dish for PH- This was an assignment that described important places in the book and to explain why they were important. I understood the book a lot better and understood the importance of the places better.


ATDPTI- I did a reflection blog post on the beginning of this book and I talked about the characters and how they are similar and different. It was not a summary of what you read which was challenging.

In class writing assignment- This was to make sure I read the book Cinder over the summer and my sentences were written like a middle schooler. I did not have much depth to my sentences but I knew what went on in the book.

5. What areas do you still need to work on? Why are these areas important?

Some areas I need to work on is probably the poetry section and literary analysis. The Lord of the Flies was kind of a hard read for me for some reason. There were so many things that were going on and it was hard to find themes and write about a literary element. This is important because the books are just going to get harder and harder to comprehend and write about. Also if there was a paper to write about what you thought the theme was and why, I would need to know how to write about a theme and first identify it. Another area I need work on is the poetry section. I had a very good performance on the test and the terms but I need work on the terms and how to apply them to my writing. The terms assonance, consonance, and sibilance are very similar because they are all about sound or the repetition of a letter. There are so many types of poems and I need to work on writing all kinds poems no matter the standards.

Blog #1 Planet 2020

 This post was written by Danielle Wallace on August 4th of 2020.  Missing sailors rescued from Pacific island after SOS signal spotted in the sand I do not know much about the author based on the article but I think she knows it a good story and she likes to write about happy things such as rescues at sea. This is a very reliable piece because there are tons of pictures of the beach they were rescued off of and it has the three men standing on the beach waving their hands. There is also a quote from the commanding officer that was ahead of the small operation, saying he was very proud. There is not a lot of controversy in this article because there are no sides but it shows the good in the world and that is why I chose it. I did not want to pick a political article because they stress me out, to be honest, and they are no fun to read because you don't know what's true. This post got me thinking about all the other islands in these massive oceans because anyone could get stran...

Hits and Misses

Water Skiing For the First Time In June of 2016, my friend’s dad had received a great deal on a new boat for their summer home in Pass Christian, Mississippi. Their home was moderately new and had only been theirs for about two months. They had invited me and my family over to the home over the weekend and wanted me to learn how to water ski. I was very excited to have this opportunity, but also a little nervous. The plan was to leave the next day on a Friday night. That night, my family and I had arrived to their summer home around half past seven. My friend’s family greeted us and dinner was ready for us right when we walked in the door.     After dinner, my friend had helped me unpack my clothes for the weekend. He said the boat was parked out in Bay St. Louis close to their house. He said that we were going to have a great time with our families on the water. The next morning we had driven out to the bay to start our day on their new boat. When we arrived I was amazed...
