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

A female narrator tells the Wife of Bath’s Tale‚ and it focuses on how women should be of equal power as men. There is the Wife who is equal to the King because they both have multiple spouses. The Wife also has power over all her husbands; making her superior to them. That is surprising considering that in 1300’s men were always superior then women‚ and were never at the same level as them. This tale is used to represent how society should have been in that era‚ women and men are the same‚ both

equally by most people because of my ethnic identity. We are stereotyped by the Han‚ the major population of China. We’re perceived as a primitive tribe who cannot be educated and for whom knowledge is useless‚ so my teachers seldom expected me to succeed in my classroom performance. Although my middle school teachers were strict with my classmates‚ they ignored my occasional failures. They assumed that after graduation I would return to a village‚ take over my parents’ land‚ marry a Bouyei man‚

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. In reading I flourished (a bit to be expected as my mother is a librarian) but in writing I continually struggled with spelling. Unfortunately‚ this caused me to become greatly discouraged with my academic ability for quite some time. Throughout elementary

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. Brush High School and as I walked into the first day of school I wondered how my day would transpire. I was ecstatic to be immediately greeted by one of my friends that I met during my freshman year. It wasn’t so much that it was him that made me ecstatic‚ it was more of him being a familiar face and me being reassured. His name was
