This Quarter

This quarter in English, I feel like I have grown a lot. Annotating has gotten much easier for me and that's good!! That was always my biggest struggle. I always came to class with my supplies except for I few times that I did not have my free reading book. I admit to getting off topic a few times, but I always managed to reel myself back in. I really enjoyed the group work with my classmates and the group discussions.
There were a few times this quarter where I did not turn in an assignment or did not put for all of my effort. I tried to keep this to a minimum because last year that got really out of hand. I feel like next quarter I will do very well in this class because I understand how the class works now.

Beastly Plot

I recently read the book Beastly by Alex Flinn. The plot of the story revolves around a character named Kyle. I personally love the way that the plot progresses in this story. At first the book introduces the main character in the book as someone you would usually hate. That rude jock who thinks that they're everything. Then as the book progresses it turns him into someone you can relate to, someone you can admire.
The rising action makes you feel as if Kyle is getting what he deserves. He has been turned into a hideous monster. The person he was on the inside
The climax of the book is when you realize a girl has actually fallen in love with him. It was actually possible. He was free.

Im a Writer Who...

I am a writer who can never find anything to write about. No matter what is going on or how much I relate to the topic, I can never find that one thing that really makes me think, "Wow! That's a great topic. I should write about that!" This is something that I have never really been able to conquer. I just wish that one day my head would fill up with a million things that I could write about whenever I wanted to. Almost like an endless bank of topics! Wouldn't you want that? To be able to sit down and find a topic to write to for hours and never run out of new ideas?
I dont think that I would ever dread writing ever again!! Not that I absolutely hate writing...I just always end up running into that brick wall that seems impenetrable. I'm sure everyone has experienced this at least once. That moment when your mind goes blank, your hand goes limp, and all hope of ever writing another word are completely obliterated. You're stuck. You're confused. You're lost. If only I could make it so that that would never happen again....
