Dialogue

Marleau and Lance have lost their dog. They find out that it was one of them who had left the gate open. They hear barking in the distance and start their search. They will soon find out it wasn't either of them. Based on a true story.

Marleau: "Lance, You left the gate open!"

Lance: " I thought you left the gate open?!"

Marleau: "Do you hear that?"

Lance: "Hear wha-...it is a dog barking!"

Marleau: "Let's go look!"

Lance: "Get the keys."

Marleau: "Is that him?"

Lance: "Yes it is! Georgie!"

Marleau: "The Lowe's people must have left the gate open!"

Reading Response To Personal Narrative

I think that there are definitely some things that I need to work on when it comes to my personal narrative. One of which, being my organization. I think that there are parts of the story that are in vivid detail I just haven't applied them the correct way. My next issue is relevancy. I have short vivid details here and there but they are not completely relevant to the story. I need to work on the way the climax is presented. I have a couple of parts throughout the narrative that could be the climax but it is not given enough detail.
      There are also some things that I have done particularly well. I think that I have a very good introductory that hooks people into reading more. I also think that when it comes to organization I am good except for a couple of times. This story is also very personal to mean it was easy to be passionate about and provide the thoughts I had.

Current Response To Exorcist

In this book the author has done a great job keeping me hooked. He uses word choice that keeps you interested and makes it apparent he's not twelve. He also has the right amount of plot twists. I do not read very many thrillers because there are too many twists throughout and the book is too much too concentrate. He keeps the story interesting and gives you that suspenseful feeling about what happens next. He keeps a very good balance of being able to understand but also keeps you thinking.
       I anm not  a hue fan of thrillers but something I look for in a good book is literary devices. He uses some symbolism but it is hard to pick up on. He subtly uses foreshadowing at the beginning that later makes sense and then you have that moment where everything clicks for a second. He has a done a very good job ad has made this an interesting read for me to continue.

Dear 14 Year Old

Dear 14 Year Old,

Do not let other people's opinion matter. What they say does not matter. It is what you think and feel about yourself that truly matters. Worry about the people that will actually worry about you. Do not waste your time on people that do not care about you. Be yourself and keep your morales. Once you are stripped down something you will always have is your pride and dignity.
    Throughout everything that happens put everything into perspective. Think about if certain, stupid things happen if it is worth your time and energy. Drama is not worth your time or anything. Stay focused on school, family, friends, and extracurricular activities. Worry about the things that will worry back. Put things into the perspective of the whole world. Is an illness or disease going to matter more than someone starting something for attention? Yes. Be yourself and be careful.

Sincerely, a 15 Year Old

Summer Experience

A fun summer experience that I had was going to Bay St. Louis, MS with my friends and the EHS soccer team. It was a chance to prove that even being one of the youngest I can still compete at high level. Being able to compete at that high intensity and fighting for every ball with people older is a great experience that I will never forget.
   During the camp we played a number of scrimmages vs people.  I switched every other time between varsity and junior varsity. Playing on both early helped me with a learning experience because at higher levels you must think constantly. I liked playing with all the older Episcopal kids because I was a chance to prove myself to them and to the coaches. I will hopefully play alongside them this year. I look forward to all future camps and  I would definitely say this was one of the highlights of my summer.
