reintroduced to a few things that I already knew. Each week I was pushed to challenge myself. In the past six weeks‚ I have learned that when reading critically I need to take my time‚ and take a step back from the obvious‚ to fully understand the purpose of the author’s tone and word choice. In addition‚ I’ve learned to expand my mind when it comes to the different types of writing styles. Not all authors are straightforward‚ some are more complex. That level of complexity can come from the day to day

Today is my 13th birthday‚ I was on the way to get the cake when I was pulled into the alleyway by a man with a mask. As if my brother knew I was in trouble he flew into the alleyway with a killer look in his eyes. “I will give you two seconds to let go of my sister.” he growled dangerously to the man. I tried to run but the hard grip on my arm told me otherwise. “NOW.” He yelled to make his point. The gun slung me to the ground as he drew his weapon and before my brother had time to draw his own

I have found that one of my most hindering personal flaws is the fact that I have always been a rather spectacularly terrible speller. This of course was discovered when I began elementary school and started to learn basic reading and writing.

My sophomore year was a great year for me as far as school goes. It was a year filled with many surprises and mysteries. It was my second year returning to Charles F.
