Sometimes because of pride or ego or a mistaken idea, one person may not confide in another or tell them the whole truth. Have you ever been in a situation in which you didn’t want the other person to know something about you? You had something you wanted to keep secret? How did you act? Did the other person realize you were hiding something? How did your behavior change the way they acted toward you?

One time me and my best friend were going to sneak out and go to a party. i didnt want to tell anyone cuz if i did i would be screwed. So we snuck out and i forgot to bring my phone and my mom read all my texts about that night, and how me and my friend planned it. My mims behavior was way upset and i was in huge trouble, so thats prettty much the last time ill sneak out.

Describe your best or worst Halloween costume ever. Use lots of details and explain why it was so awesome or lame.

Well i have had many costumes and the one that i thaught was the coolest costume was a Beauty and the Beast coustume. I was in kindergarten this time and my dress was long and flowing, it came with a crown, high heeled shoes and the best of all, a glowing wand. i was voted best coustume in my class.

My worst coustume would have been about three years ago and i was an emo person and i think i scared almost every one i talked to. I was way embarrased, because i had nothing else to be. But let me tell you, its the last time ill be an emo.

It seems like reading Edgar Allan Poe stories around Halloween is a rite of passage for students in English classes. He wrote poems such as "The Raven" and "Annabel Lee" and stories like "The Tell-Tale Heart", "The Black Cat", "The Fall of the House of Usher", "The Cask of Amontillado", "The Masque of the Red Death", "The Pit and the Pendulum", etc.If you have read Poe stories before, which ones have you read and what do you remember of them? Did you like them? How scary/creepy were they? Share your memories of you or teachers reading the works of Edgar Allan Poe.If you have not read Poe or don't remember, describe to me what you expect from a classic horror writer? What kinds of stories do you think we'll be reading? Have you ever read scary stories?


Yes i have read many different scary stories. I've read R.L Stine books and he writes horror stories. The poe book i have read from Edgar Allen was "The Raven" its kind of different, i read it in sixth grade and we had to go over a lot of it. It's cool how he writes and how he puts in poems. I think, since its getting close to holloween, we will be reading scary stories, ones that he's written.

"How do you keep making the lights go on and off?" your pet might wonder.Write about you doing something in your house...from a pet's point of view.

I always have my dog in my room and you know im always doing my hair and makeup, so i bet my dog is like what the crap are you putting on your face!

And my hair is a whole nother story, i can take a few minuetes or an hour, and my dog might be thinking how lucky she is for not having to do her hair!

Have you ever studied a skunk's eyes? Write about some item you find beauty in that many others might not

I havent ever studied a skunk's eye, but i have found beauty in, i guess some stuff. Like many other animals. My personal faviorite would probably be horses cuz they can be way pretty, them running in the wind and frolicking, i think they are way pretty.

Have you ever known a secret that you thought you should tell? Did you tell? If you've never experienced this, what do you think it would be like to know a secret that you think is dangerous?

Yes i have many times, it was scary and i didnt know what to do about it so i never told. I wanted to wait and see if the person would tell anyone else about it, and to my releif, she told my best friend. It turned out to be the worst thing ever, the person who told me was going to pull a knife on my friend and i couldnt keep it secret anymore. Its crazy how far secrets can really go until someone gets hurt.

Write a journal from the perspective of Romeo, Juliet, Friar Laurence or Nurse. It should take place after the end of Act II when Romeo and Juliet have been secretly married. Remember, you ARE this person writing what they would be thinking and feeling at this time. 3 PARAGRAPHS!

Oh my goodness i just got married to the love of my life, Romeo! i want this to last forever, i want to be with him till death parts us. My parents hate his family but we were married secretly. I'm really happy that we got married in secret because if my parents would have found out about Romeo, he would have been killed.

Being married is so weird i know if i were to marry someone else i could never feel this way about anyone. I'm so happy to be with him. 

9th grade:Do you believe in Fate? Are there certain things in life that, once set in motion, are inevitable; things that cannot be stopped once they are started? The story of Romeo and Juliet implies that the path of their love and what happens to them is part of Fate's plan. Do you think this is possible?

I would have to say yes and no because fate can just be something you think is real and then turn out to be like oh i just met him and fell in love. But then yes because i have met people and just felt like we were ment to be and once you've seen each other you cant ever be away from them and you feel like its fate. With Romeo and Juliet i would say it was fate, how they looked at each other and totally fell in love and could not stay away from each other.

Juliet: is young and excited for her parents' party tonight, she has just been asked by her mother if she will consider marrying Paris. She is willing to get to know Paris better and consider the option. She has never really met Romeo yet

Tonight my mother talked to me about Paris and getting married. I am open to get to know him but i've never treally been in love. And i dont really know Paris that well, so im not sure either. My parents are having a party an d Paris will be there so i can meet, and get to knw him. I'm so excited!

Define true love. Do you believe it exists?(Hint: have you ever seen it? give an example. Why do you believe/not believe in it?)

Yes i do beleive it exists. i beleive that true love is when one cant stand to be away from another and has to talk to them every minute of the day. I have definatley seen it many times and they think they are just gunna be happy with that person for the rest of their lives!

9th Grade: What comes to your mind when you hear the words, "Now we're going to read Shakespeare!" Do you cringe in fear? Do you giggle with glee? What past experiences have you had with Shakespeare to make you react the way you do?

When i think of shakespear, i think of love stories. When i read shakespear i almost understand what hes saying. Sometimes i get way confused. But other than that im excited to read some of his books.
I think that shakespear is an amazing writer and his books are emotional, i think that in some of his books we can relate to them because we are younger and know about love ourselfs

hey everyone!

Welcom to my blog, i have no idea what else to say...?
