Hiding something
Sometimes because of pride or ego or a mistaken idea, one person may not confide in another or tell them the whole truth. Have you ever been in a situation in which you didn’t want the other person to know something about you? You had something you wanted to keep secret? How did you act? Did the other person realize you were hiding something? How did your behavior change the way they acted toward you?

It has happened before to me. Or sometimes when some one asks you a question that u dont want to answer and they make you tell them, then i just make something up. I kinda do it alot when i dont want to tell someone the truth. I guess it is just easier then to tell the truth. Well its easier until they found out that you lied to them.

If i told them something that wasnt true sometimes they know your friend. so they asked my friend and my friend told them the truth. so they thought i lied to them(well i did) but still. then u get in a big mess of drama and it isnt so fun. In the end you kinda just end up telling them the truth anyways.

It would probably be better if you just told the truth then. Even though i am the one saying that I probably still wont. I mean there are some things that you just dont want people to know and when they just keep asking you and asking you and you still dont want to tell them then you just make something up. Well at least i do. When I tell them the lie I try to act the same because then it is less noticable that you are lying to them. If you are a good lying then they will probably never find out that you lied to them. Atleast you hope they will never find out the truth. So that is why you just act normal. Just what you usually act like.

Describe your best or worst Halloween costume ever. Use lots of details and explain why it was so awesome or lame.

I think my best halloween costume was when i dressed up as a dead softball player. It wasnt really my idea though. It was a last minute thing. I only needeed like make up and maybe like an old softball uniform that i will never wear again.

So what i did was I got some old clothes and cut them. Just random cuts and slices in them. Then i made it look like the clothes where really dirty. So it looked like the clothes were old and dusty somewhat of what they would look like as if i had been in a grave in the ground for awhile. Then I got some long socks and made them all old and dusty looking and i then moved on to my hair and make up.

For my hair and make up i went all out. Lets start with my hair. I ratted my hair so big it was pretty freaking awesome. Then for my make up i made my eyes all black and had smears of make up all over my face so i looked dead. Then i made it so it looked like i had scabs on my face. it was pretty intense and that was all my costume was.

Breaking Dawn
I read breaking dawn a little bit ago. Kind of a while ago but i still remember it really good. I really liked this book. Instead of it being number 2 out of the 10 books selected by teens it should be number 1.

The book was really interesting. Alot of stuff happened in it. It was probably my favorite book because Bella finally becomes a vampire and when i was ready all the other books that came before Breaking Dawn i was waiting for her to turn into a vampire. so in the end i was happy with the results of what happened in Breaking Dawn. Another reason why i liked the book is because there were alot of events.

I think Breaking Dawn definatly deserves to be in teh top 10. I mean come on! it was full of things that just made it so u couldnt put the book down. It pulls u in. I love it. I think that teens really like it is because it is a hot vampire who falls in love with a regular girl, and they get married. How crazy is that, and the writer just makes it so u want to know what happens between them and how everything is going to end up. I really like the book Breaking Dawn. Totally top 10 material.

Edgar Allen Poe

Edgar Allen Poe
It seems like reading Edgar Allen Poe stories around Halloween is a rite of passage for students in English classes. He wrote poems such as "The Raven" and "Annabel Lee" and stories like "The Tell-Tale Heart", "The Black Cat", "The Fall of the House of Usher", "The Cask of Amontillado", "The Masque of the Red Death", "The Pit and the Pendulum", etc.If you have read Poe stories before, which ones have you read and what do you remember of them? Did you like them? How scary/creepy were they? Share your memories of you or teachers reading the works of Edgar Allen Poe.If you have not read Poe or don't remember, describe to me what you expect from a classic horror writer? What kinds of stories do you think we'll be reading? Have you ever read scary stories?


I am pretty sure that i read a Edgar Allen Poe story in 7 grade i think. I am not sure. It was along time ago and i dont even know if it was Edgar Allen Poe. The book that i think i read was "The Cask of Amontillado"

The Cask of Amontillado was kinda creepy. i dont remember much about it though. The only part that i kinda remember is that i think like some one got burried in stones or something, and another person had to put the last brick in a wall that made it so the other person couldnt get out. i dont really know. it is kinda confusing, and i dont even know if i am talking about the right book.

I dont know if this is the same story but in 7 grade we also read a book that might have been by Edgar Allen Poe but im not sure. well the story was about like a jewel or ruby or diamond. some with a lot of value. And there was a poor lady and she was going to go to some where fancy and someone let her borrow a necklace that was really expensive. and when the lady was at the dance or what ever she was at. she lost the necklace and they couldnt find it. so her and her husband worked the rest of there lives to get money to pay for it and then in the end they found out it was a fake necklace.

Have you ever known a secret that you thought you should tell? Did you tell? If you've never experienced this, what do you think it would be like to know a secret that you think is dangerous?

Yes i have known a secret that i thought i should tell. Some of the times it is best to not tell anyone because then it could start rumors and bad things. If it is a really big secret then I dont tell anyone if it is a little secret that people can know then sometimes i tell. Most the time the person that tells you the secret tells you not to tell anyone or they say you can tell this one other friend of yours because all three of you are good friends.

When i knew the really really big secret i didnt tell anyone. My friend had told me something and she didnt want anyone else to know or find out about it. So i kept it a secret for a really long time. Then some how other people started to talk about it. So i guess my friend had told some one else and they went and told everyone and it began a big rumor and things were not so grand after that.

If i were to tell some one a big secret i hope that they keep it a secret and dont tell anyone. There are only so many people that you can really trust with big secrets. If i had a really big secret i probably just wouldnt tell anyone. I would kind of just keep it to myself so that no rumors could be started and that there would be no problems, but i keep all the other peoples big secrets.

Juliet:
Dear journal,
Tonight my parents and I are having a party. I am really excited I can not wait. Earlier this morning my mother asked me if i were to consider marrying Paris. I am not really sure if I would like to, but I try to obey my parents so i will consider there wants and see if I can get along with Paris. Maybe Paris will be at the party tonight and I will be able to meet him or dance with him and we will be able to talk so we will just have to wait till tonight. Then i will talk about it with my parents.

Define true love. Do you believe it exists?
(Hint: have you ever seen it? give an example. Why do you not believe/not believe in it?)


I think true love is when you see somebody you just know you like them alot. Its that first glance when you see them. Or maybe even your first kiss with them. Then you know if it is true love or not. I guess i believe in true love. I mean why not. It could happen.

I believe in true love because in all the movies, plays and etc. everybody always falls in love with each other in the first time they see each other. That is what i think true love is. It is just having that strong connection since the first time you see them. It happens all the time in movies. Movies arent always real i know but true love is.

9th grade:If you had one superpower, what would it be and why? (Hint: describe exactly what your power would be, why you would want that one, what you would use your power for, etc. Would you be good or evil? Would you use it just for fun or for a good cause?)

If I could have one superpower it would be that I could invisibility so i could be places nobody could see me. Then I could listen to other peoples conversations and they wouldnt even know i was there. I could figure out if some one was talking bad about me. Then I would say to that person, "What the heck, why were you talking bad about me?" If they tell me that they didnt say anything bad about me then I would know if I could trust them or not.

My power would probably be good and evil. I mean me listening to peoples conversation can't be to good. So i guess i am going to have to say that my power can be evil, but its not a really really bad evil just a little evil. It is mostly a good power. Atleast for me it is. I don't know if it is for anybody else. It is a very good power for me.

9th Grade: What comes to your mind when you hear the words, "Now we're going to read Shakespeare!" Do you cringe in fear? Do you giggle with glee? What past experiences have you had with Shakespeare to make you react the way you do?

When i hear the words, "Now we're going to read shakespeare!" i think o great. Well this sucks. I cant even understand half the things that shakespeare writes. I really dont know. I havent even really read shakespeare before except for in 5th grade. So along time ago.

I think shakespeare is really confusing. I mean all the words he uses there just so old! So i dont really get anything. I might have read a little bit of shakespeare but not alot. Like i said i have probably only read shakespear when I was in 5th grade and it was pretty confusing.

Since we pretty much have to read shakespeare and actually get it i guess that when i hear that we have to read shakespeare i just think well i might as well try to get it so i can pass this class. I dont even really think i will have to get shakespear out of school. So whats the point of having to read it and learn it in school. Well i guess that is just school. So i will try to get it. so we are reading shakespeare...joy.
