The quote "All good things must come to an end" is very true. Things can seem to being great for you and may well for sometime but eventually it may all end abruptly. One of example of this would be Michael Vick, he was the star quarter back for the Atlanta Falcons and was living the high life you could say, but then he was busted for dog fighting. Another example would be when the economy crashed, it had been rising and things seemed to be going well but then it crashed.

The south seceded from the Union because they were the states that wanted to keep slavery in America. The Union made a law that would abolish slavery and the South didnt agree with it. If slavery existed today Ernie and Travis wouldnt be in our class lol :) They would be must hate towards african Americans.

 I believe that John Brown was simply just a man dedicated to his cause because of the many things he did to say why he was doing what it is he was doing.

1) Laura's caffenine addiction spiraled out of control; she drank so much coffee that cirrhosis of the liver began to set in, yet she continued to ingest dangerous amounts of coffee.
2) Civil Wars wage on around the world; one is being waged at this moment in Iraq.
3)John Brown believed God spoke to him and urged him to kill all who were in favor of slavery; on the other hand, later experts who studied him believed that brown most likely halluninations that stemmed from his mental disorder.
4) Carson averages one home run every 2 games; unfortunatly he has a tendency to drop "fly balls" when he is playing in the outfield, and he runs around the bases as if bricks are tied to his ankles.
5) Abraham Lincoln did not find early succes as a politician; as a matter of fact, he lost over five consecutive elections before being elected.

How should I organize the essay?
What are some helpful tips?

10-5-10

Word choice, tone, and sentence structure. Great imagery and the main event, if the story just has a plain main event and not much meaning to it then the story will not "hook" people.

Suspence and horror movies most of the time have death in them, this creates that "suspence" in the room of people that are watching on what is going to happen.

Describe your soul mate

Well I believe that I have possibly already found mine, her name is Ashlynn Rae Boyd and she is absolutly amazing in every way possible. We met in school one day and I suggested to her that she sit with me that afternoon on the bus and she gladly excepted and from that moment on things just went perfect, we immediatly hit it off when we started talking and realized that we have very many things in common. We decided to take things further and date and i dont regret it one bit, we have been 2gether ever since and I couldnt be happier. She has amazing beautiful green eyes that you could stare into for hours and never lose the smile on your face. I could never get bored when I'm with her because she constantly has me laughing and smiling. She has an absolutly gorgeous smile and amazing personality. She's perfect in every way to me.

Rating my performance

Identity I would steal

If I could steal anyone's identity for the day it would be the life of a soldier in Iraq. I would do this because I want to go into the military and want to see what it is like. I know the life of a soldier in Iraq is tough but its what I want to do in my future. Soldiers spend many sleepless nights, many days without water, and go months and months without phone calls or letters from home. People take for granted what our American soldiers do for this country and don't realize the things that have to go through

Day in the life of a slave

A day in the life of a slave consisted of having to work from sunrise until sunset. Working in the cotton fields was the main thing that a slave had to do in the south. They were watched 24/7 to deter them from fleeing

TSL 9-11, most shoking moment

The most shocking moment in chapters 9-11 was when the author finally revealed dimmesdale is the father of pearl.

Moment from my favorite vacation

This past summer I went to myrtle beach for 8 days, we stayed at this place called Lakewood Campground & Resort that is literally right on the beach. The campground owns about a half mile strip of the beach. It was my first time going to myrtle beach. Even though we stay in tents it was still an awesome experience, next year we are renting out a villa for the week while we're there instead of having to stay in the tents. On 4th of July night the campground had a big fire works display as well as the other campgrounds that we're on either side of the campground I was in so it was one huge fire works show pretty much. There more to do there than you could even do, it was by far the best place I have ever been to and cant wait to go back next year.

A sensory experience

Touch- the first item reminded me of a hard pillow
taste- it was sweet and chewy and it tasted like a jelly bean
sound- sounds like a tv that is making that fuzzy sound or possible really heavy rain
smell- smells like yankee candle shop
sight- it reminds of me a person hiding in the bushes, like a marine sniper and all you can see is the white of his eyes.

Worst habbit

 Putting things off till the last "minute"

Arthur dimmesdale is a nervous preacher.
Ms. O'Donnell- is my history teacher, coolest laid back teacher
Scotland Highschool- the highschool i go to
Myrtle Beach- One of the most popular beaches, went there for 8 days for 4th of july
A Red Rose- symbolizes love

Worst driving experience

My worst driving experience was doing a 120 mph down 15-501 on the night of the super bowl in my cousins mustang, that wasnt the bad part, the bad part was coming up on cop and had to slam the brakes and then the cop followed me all the way into southern pines till he finally backed off

Greatest challenge this year

These classes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and idk, we need to do a lil of each class, it seems as tho we are spending to much time on english work and not enough on History

What I think the "A" means in TSL

at this point i think the letter "a" represents the face that she committed adultry and represents humilation.
The bostonians think it makes her look like an outcast.
Hester doesnt like the fact that the letter is there, this is proven by the fact that she tried to hide it with the baby

repression-suppression

repression-the rejection from consciousness of painful or disagreeable ideas, memories, feelings, or impulses
suppression-conscious inhibition of an impulse

Hawthornes Inspiration

Hawthorne's ispiration for writing scarlet letter was to show God is merciful, that is what he was aiming for, it was to show the hypocracy in society. It was also to show sexism in his time. Hawthorne also wrote it to tell the story of Hester Prynne.

Weekend Reading

I learned that you should read in an environment where you are not distracted. Distractions can cause you to not fully remember what you read. Another thing I learned is to reread what you read, rereading will help you remember.
