A stick-like, puny, first year college student looking at my home for the next four years. Yet I can't manage to take a second step. I stand there, staring at the giant brick block and lift my classic yellow rain jacket hood up over my impressively soft chocolate hair, protecting it from the harm of the rain

In the book Gabriel: A Poem by Edward Hirsch, he structure the elegy starting at the funeral home where his son Gabriel lays, he then is remembering all the events form Gabriel’s life leading up to his death. Edward Hirsch uses a three line ten stanza on each page, without punctuation. This is to signify that the starting and stopping of punctuation cannot unpack the hardship of outliving your child. The three line stanzas imply the book’s most painful suggestion that, “The dead are no more than

Loung Ung 's First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers follows her struggles as a child during the Angkar rule. Children in Cambodia directly suffered from trauma, which obviously dismisses the myth that children experience less pain than adults.

Loung is thrown into the midst of the war almost instantly. “Yesterday I was playing hopscotch with my friends.

I hope you are doing well. In school, I have improved greatly, and the second marking period has gone better than the first. Soon, I will transfer into the third marking period, and I hope I am prepared for it. Although the first marking period has not gone to plan, I made up for it in the second marking period, and am looking forward to improving more in the third marking period. In English, I have been experiencing more homework than usual, and we are taking extremely important notes that will

During the first marking period, what I learned in AP Calculus is how important it is to remember functions and certain formulas or standards such as slope, the Intermediate Value Theorem (IVT), Limits, Instantaneous rate, Intermediate form, Zeros, etc. Thanks to this, I’ve learned that standards aren’t as hard as I used to remember, from my time in Geometry Honors, rather they are easier to understand whenever I take notes on whatever I can’t remember or I’m having trouble with at the moment.

Throughout our journal days, that took place every other Friday, I found myself writing about topics I would have never thought of before. I was able to uncover the writer within me.

The outcome was going to be in the first carding marking, and it didn’t turn out the way I expected it to be. We did a lot of things this card marking, we did AOW, “I Am From” Poem, setting up RN and WN, Book a Box, and a few other assignments as well. The first poem that we did was the “I Am From” poem. That was a fun assignment because
