After being in honors english I think I am definitely better at writing essays. Although I could probably improve on a few things, I think I have improved a lot from the beginning of the year to the end as far as essays. By now I understand the point of writing the essays and I can write them with much less difficulty than before. From practicing writing the essays that we have written so far, it has helped me realize that we write essays to prove a point no matter what that point may be. It has also help me understand literary analysis much better.

Some things I think I need to work on in the essay im writing right now are mostly the transition and sub topic sentences. I think it is easier to go right into what you are saying than introducing what you are about to say. I think I also need to embed the quotes correctly and check for more spelling and grammar mistakes.

Summer Reading List

The first book I want to read is The Notebook by Nicolas Sparks because the movie is one of my favorites and im sure the book is great too. The second book I want to read over the summer is A Walk to Remember by Nicolas Sparks. I want to read this because I have heard from my friends that it is a really good book and I really like all of the books that I have read by Nicolas Sparks so far.

Culture Shock

One movie that reminds me of Romeo and Juliet is The Notebook. The story line isn't exactly the same but it's another movie about forbidden love. Romeo and Juliet really shouldn't be in love because their parents are enemies. In The Notebook, the two characters in love are seperated by social standing and they also shouldn't be in love because of their different social standings.
