Essay Anyone?

This year i feel as though my essay writing skills have increased rapidly. In honors english we have learned many techniques to writing a good essay. It has been a lot of hard work, but it has been worth the knowledge learned. I think literary techniques such as symbolism is beneficial when it comes to understanding novels and or plays.

My essay could use some work. My conclusion is not "beefy" enough and needs a stronger ending. This weekend i"m mostly going to be focussing on my conclusion. My paper right now is a "B" grade, but after this weekend, it'll be a big fat "A"!

Books Anyone?

There are several books i am excited to read this summer. Two to be exact, The Shack by William young. My dad recommended this book to me because he said id enjoy this book way more than any other book i have ever read. The other book was recommended from my cousin mark, Keeper by Mal Peet. This book is about a young boy growing up in poverty who struggles on society, but he becomes one of the greatest goalies in the world. Im reading this book first!

Pisces. Fate. Epic.

My birthday was March second, 1995.

My zodiac sign is called "Pisces", witch look like to fish.

The astrology on my birthday is to suggest that "a Pisces born on March 2 has a perception that borders on genius. Although they may seem to clear everything through intellectual channels, they are really exercising psychic sensitivity. Most major life decisions are made this way. They are gentle souls who may lack self-confidence. This is unfortunate because they have many talents." I don't fully agree with all of that, but if the stars say read it, then it must be correct. I would not say I'm a genius but i am fairly intelligent when it comes to common sense. I do have many talents, and i hope to gain more as my life progresses. As a freshman in high school i feel as though i have a lot of self confidence. Astrology has also suggested that i have nervous ailments which deprive me of sleep. I can relate to that for sure. If something is bothering me, or i'm nervous for something coming up, i loose sleep.

No matter what the stars say, or how much Romeo relies on the stars and fate to interpret his fate, i believe that my zodiac sign relates to me and that i am who i am, and its not going to change.

R&J Culture Shock!

The Killers "Romeo and Juliet" is from the 2007 album Sawdust.

A lovestruck Romeo, sings the streets of serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
Find a streetlight, steps out of the shade
Says something like, "You and me, babe, how about it?"

Juliet says, "Hey, it's Romeo, you nearly gave me a heart attack"
He's underneath the window, she's singing
Hey, la, my boyfriend's back"
You shouldn't come around here, singing up at people like that
Anyway what you gonna do about it?

Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start
And I bet and you exploded in my heart
And I forget, I forget the movie song
When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

Come up on different streets, they both were streets of shame
Both dirty, both mean, yes and the dream was just the same
And I dream your dream for you and now your dream is real
How can you look at me, as if I was just another one of your deals?

Well, you can fall for chains of silver, you can fall for chains of gold
You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin
Now you just say, "Oh, Romeo, yeah, you know
I used to have a scene with him"

Juliet, when we made love, you used to cry
You said, "I love you like the stars above, "I love you till I die"
There's a place for us, you know the movie song
When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

I can't do the talk like the talk on the TV
And I can't do a love song like the way it's meant to be
I can't do everything but I'd do anything for you
Can't do anything except be in love with you

And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
All I do is keep the beat, the bad company
And all I do is kiss you, through the bars of a rhyme
Juliet, I'd do the stars with you any time

Juliet, when we made love, you used to cry
You said, "I love you like the stars above, I'll love you till I die"
There's a place for us, you know the movie song
When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

A lovestruck Romeo, he sings the streets of serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
Find a convenient streetlight, steps out of the shade
He says something like, "You and me, babe, how about it?"
