Favorite Character

Hello guys,

I just wanted to share to with you guys one of my favorite characters from The Scarlet Letter.... Chillingworth... just kidding.

Anyways, I think it's pretty obvious, but aside from Hester, it is little Pearl! To me, she is so adorable and I just grew sympathy for her throughout the book. I honestly put myself in her place and wonder what life would be like in that time period. Also, she brings back memories when I was seven, for example, hanging out with my mom.

Who is your favorite character and why? Thank you!

Hey guys just wanted to ask how you guys are planning to study for the ap exam. I've decided to order some vocab flashcards, and I'm thinking of ordering a good book. Any reccomendations?
Good morning guys! I want to suggest one of the best literature books that I have been reading aside from my independent reading book: the bible. It has wonderful stories, poetry, and advice from God! I suggest you guys read it, it's really wonderful! I learned plenty of new vocabulary and concepts and I just finished reading the book of Ruth!
Just wanted to share it with you guys! Hopefully you guys give it a chance and enjoy reading it as much as I do!! Happy reading!

Transcendentalism

Hello!

Today in class we disscused and read about transcendentalism. What did you guys obtain from this discussion? What were some of your favorite parts?

My favorite quote obtained from the discussion was: things do not change, we change!

I just found this quote extremely relatable when it comes to my life. I start to notice things that changed drastically throughout the years in my life, especially in highschool, but then this quote opened my eyes: all this time it was not the "things" that actually changed, it was us.

I just thought I'd share this, have a good night guys!

The Subject of English

Hey everyone! I want to know how everyone feels about the subject of English. This is personally my WORST subject because I am someone who prefers to apply the knowledge of a concept rather than to explain it. Let me give an example. In math, I am applying the steps I know to get the right answer, where as in English, I have the hardest time expressing my thoughts into words because there is a plethora of ways to say what is in my mind and yet, there is only one way to say it to satisfy teachers. (Not that teachers are jerks of coarse, but speaking formally helps us with job interviews or other activities) What are your thoughts on English classes?

Hey guys as you can see I'm barely replying to your guys' post and trying to post. I need your guys' opinion on something very important.. I recently started working, and I love by job, and I love school as well. but here's the twist to things; I did ask for a part time job and the schedule is very flexible and I know I can do both school and work(which I have been doing for almost a month now) but I'm feeling like I get out late from work, and have to be up this late doing homework. I mean it's fine with me because theres times where I get out of work and I'm not tired, so id stay up doing homework, but theres days where I am super sleepy and have to still sustain myself to be up.. what do you guys think about this? Should I consider what many say; long days and nights but it's all worth it at the end? or should I completely stop working and only focus on school? opinions?
