The the novel "Their eyes are watching God" by Zora Neale Hurston. Janie was the main character. She was so simlar to Jane from "Jane Erye" by Charlotte Bronte.

starts I always feel like I need another two weeks of relaxation. Then I look on the bright side. I will get to learn many new skills and make new friends. This school year is different than others.

Homework Everyone has their own idol‚ and for me‚ the person I admire is the very successful author of the Harry Potter series‚ J.K Rowling. She has the ability to capture the imagination of so many people of every age‚ and that is why I admire her. Her books no longer seem like a fantasy‚ but become real‚ and people forget that what they are reading is simply a display of her vivid imagination.

WHO AM I? I consider myself many things‚ some positive‚ most negative‚ but one trait that comes to mind when someone asks me‚ “What is one adjective to describe you?” I cannot really answer that honestly. “Hi‚ I’m Andrea and I would say that my overarching trait of all others is cynicism. I believe that I am the way that I am from learning how to cope with tragic events that have happened in the past. Sigmund Freud’s ego defenses could clearly back up this idea.
