"O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou, Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name. Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love And I'll no longer be a Capulet” (II, ii; 35).
get married.
This quotes is just the beginning of Romeo and Juliet just proving their love for each other. It gives a good development to Juliet’s character and it just ties in what had happened at the ball with them and it starts to set a story. As shes spilling out her heart to Romeo she’s just wanting to be together with him and making everything work out even if they could get in some serious trouble. It starts to bring out the characteristics of a brave young women. Also for, Romeo its setting up a true meaningful message that he rather die being with her than not having her love and only wishing they were together. Just within the twenty-four our that she had met him you could honestly tell that they had fallen in love a first sight. As the love story of the two grows bigger and they share more of their feelings together it wasn’t even more than twenty- fours hours til Juliet had told Romeo to propose to her and to try and set up a wedding they had gotten permission to get married, they were approved but had to keep it a secret. Only Juliets nanny and Friar Lawrence knew about the wedding and had gone to it. Shortly after the wedding of Romeo and Juliet, Romeo met up with Mercutio and Benvolio and had come across Juliet’s cousin Tybalt and had almost gotten into a fight but Mercutio and Tybalt were going to get into a fight instead Tybalt stabbed Mercutio and it had slowly killed him. Romeo would of stood up for Mercutio if it hadn’t been his wife’s cousin that had accept the challenge. ,
The Quote "O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou, Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name. Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love
And I'll no longer be a Capulet." from Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare reminds me sort of when I met my best friend. I met Jaymie when I was 3 and a half years old and we have been close friends since then. But yes, we have our ups and downs regularly at times it comes to a close edge where I don’t think we can make it. But we always make up! She’s always there for me when ever i need something and some help. She also teaches me everything i need to know and also help me with most of my homework when I’m stuck and need help. I love her and I can’t wait to see how many more years we will get to be friends! This reminds me of the story because we are un-separable when we are together and not arguing. Both of our parents basically raise each other as their own child so we a basically sisters. She is the best I love you Jaymie Seneca!
I think I did okay, I’m perfectly sure I didThis Quotation analysis was probably a good one, not the last paragraph correct but I’ll try my best on correcting myself. My strength were that I actually really liked the prompt and wanted to do it. My weakness was is trying to thinkcould of something to write for the last paragraph and how to write more,pushed myself, but I will do justhad learned about setting it up and writing it out i became a lot better organization for the next essay we dowriter when i wrote this and whatI really like this set up and this quotation. It shows that when I really like something i do the same will just keepcan write on working on the essays and correcting myself and writing moreon about what my quotation.I wanted to say about this. I really liked learning and reading about the tragic story of love.

VG"O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou, Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name. Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love And I'll no longer be a Capulet” (II, ii; 35).
This quote is from the play Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare. The scene that I had chosen was when Juliet Capulet is standing on her balcony just expressing her thoughts about her love for Romeo Montague. Without knowing Romeo was hiding around her she spilt out her heart, as so did he. He finally revealed himself to her. They had met at the Capulets’ ball, when Romeo snuck in to keep a watch on Rosaline. But instead he ran into Juliet and he instantly fell in love with this young teenager. In the beginning when we meet Romeo Montague his personality is being depressed, sweet, romanic person, and dramatic. Romeo’s two best friends are Benvolio and Mercutio. Benvolio tries to stop something bad from happening and is one of the good guys that says inspirational speeches, then there’s Mercutio which is a very bad influence on him, he non-stop cracking sexual inappropriate jokes that go way to far sometimes and always is ready to fight someone. The only children of the mortal enemies of the Capulets and Montagues. They have been enemies for a long time they never to When Juliet Capulet gets introduced into the scene she is innocent, friendly, well behaved, and smart. She also had no intentions on wanting to marry anyone or fall in love. Her closest friend she has is her nanny and her cousin Tybalt. Her nanny is a crazy woman! Tybalt sticks up for his cousin and wants to stand up to every person and fight them. Juliet and her mother have a very awkward relationship between each other and they don’t really talk with each other. Juliets’ mother, had tried to convince Juliet to marry Paris but he father had tried to set up this ball so Paris would fall in love with another woman. Only Capulets could go to this ball but Romeo, his cousin Benvolio and best friend Mercutio had snuck into the ball because Romeo was wrecked without Rosaline. As they started walking to the dance floor Romeo caught a peek of Juliet and tried to get to her to tell her about his love that had just occurred in throughout his heart because of her. He sweet talks her and kisses her. However, when they both found out each others names they learned that they are enemies and should not be seeing each other. But he could help but fall down hard for her. He had to find a way to make their love work out. Then he had followed her home and hid and was just explaining his love for her and comparing her to the stars and just expressing his love to the open skies. He had stayed hidden for most of the time for tho he could of been killed if he had been caught. Juliet soon appeared on her balcony just speaking out the love that she felt toward Romeo, she just spilt it all out without knowing Romeo was hiding and listening to every word, “O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou? not even 24 hours later in this love story they already want to get married.

g;ldklgjfg"I Turned to go home. Street lights winked down the street all the way to town, I had never seen
our neighborhood from this angle" (278).
In the book To Kill a mockingbird by Harper Lee. In a little town called Maycomb in Alabama. Young Jean Louise also known as Scout always was a little more of a tom boy than a lady, she always ran around with Dill. and her brother Jeremy Atticus also called as Jem When ever they played they would always be curious about Boo Radley. They would act out a play of Boos life. As they were kids they would go over to Boo’s house and would sometimes find little gifts in the tree. While they were growing up their Aunt Alexandra came to live with her, to teach her to be a young lady. Their father, Atticus didn’t know what to do, if he should teach Scout be more girly or allow her to be with Jem all the time. Jem and Scout are always curious about what went on with Boo and his childhood. When Jem was 13 and Scout was 9 they went to a Halloween pageant, as they were walking back someone jumped them. Scout woke up to looking at a country, pale white man that they’ve never seen before and realized that it was Arthur Radley
"I Turned to go home. Street lights winked down the street all the way to town, I had never seen our neighborhood from this angle.” As Scout was talking to Boo in Jems room she was telling him to say good night to Jem, he whispered to Scout and he faintly asked to go home, as they were walking to Boo’s house, Scout put her arm in his, and walked like a long time couple. Right when they got to Boo’s house, he snuck into his house quietly. After that she never saw him again. She turned to go walk home, but stopped. She realized that just from standing at that point, she could see everything from all the neighbors houses to her house. She could now understand that she could see her house and could tell he could always see them playing up and down the streets running around. From the time he was watching over them to the moment he saved them, they were his kids, too.
This Quote reminds me of moment when i have to my self and just space out and think about everything that has been going on and realize what has been happening and catch up to realize more than just family care about me, just like Scout and how she found out Boo cares lots for Scout and Jem like their his own children and friends. He cared for them and saved them from a scary life or death moment. He cares very much and would do anything to help them.
When we had to write the quotation analysis I liked having to describe what I liked or what I think the quote that I chose was about. After reading the book it got fun with the inspirational quotes and to pick one and write what you think it means and to just write what I thought all the detail were. The difference between this Quotation Analysis and the Romeo and Juliets' QA is that this one was probably slightly not as good but is still very good at how it was written, I liked having to just focus on one scene of the book instead of the whole book, it was much easier to write.

1015When I heard we had to do an I-search and what I heard from other students, is that it had to be a like million pages long, I started getting worried about what I should do, especially something to have enough information for seven pages. I didn’t have to take a long time to think about what I wanted to do, I instantly thought of an idea for my I-search. When I started thinking about a subject I thought of my friend Steve, he always inspired me with his job, but I wasn’t exactly sure of what type of disabilities I wanted to do, I first actually wanted to do his job, Port Resources, but I couldn’t find any information on it. Ms.Tierney-Fife was telling me to do different types of disabilities, and one of the women at Steve’s work is named Jennifer she has autism, and he talks about her all the time and takes care of her when he’s at that house. I started asking him about other people with autism and I wanted to know a little more about how it happens when kids get diagnosed with autism, but he didn’t know very much about autism, so that made it difficult and I thought I wasn’t going to be able to learn more about it besides the casual what it is and what the symptoms were.
I jotted down things that I already knew about and more things to get to know. Before I started doing research I had these question in mind to learn about; How does autism impact learning disabilities; How does learning to socialize with other kids autistic adult? and what are more symptoms and what IS autism. These were some of the many question I was wanting to be able to answer, but I didn’t exactly have the best luck at finding really good articles or finding some information that I didn’t have already, I needed help finding more about whats more important
Luckily Ms. Tierney-Fife and Mrs. Klement taught me how to do some advanced researching so I can find some better information. I knew very little about autism I could basically just tell you that it was a brain disorder and affected your behaviors. I started researching and finding lots of really important information, and my friend helped with some of the things I didn’t know.
I learned about how it can be caused and what the symptoms were and what autism actually is. When it came to my interview I was very nervous because he already mentioned that he didn’t know much about autism, he only knew about what their actions are. So when I interviewed him and he told me a lot about how they act and what their types of behavior is depending on their moods. just in an agreeable mood, they could be a lot more helpful. I also had researched more about how they could get it or what people think can cause. He gave me some pretty important information that came in handy when I was writing and got stuck.
After I got all my articles, data-based articles and my interview cited, I started organizing my notecards in the order that I was going to write in, I got them to the way I wanted but soon it was all changed around and they all were in a different group I wasn’t sure it would get me far if I didn’t listen to the teacher. But I do have to say i’ve had my bad luck, all my notecards got mixed into each other and all out of order and I don’t think I finished writing it the way I started it; in order. But I understand that next time I need to number all the cards in what order they are all in.
After I got mostly everything just the way they are suppose to be and I got a hold of everything I started writing ideas about this essay, then I started writing about my subject; article by article. But sooner than I thought it was racing the clock, so many pages to be done in so little time, I got lost in the writing everything started getting jumbled up, things were just repeating and unorganized, I really needed to take a break but then I got behind and wasn’t able to concentrate or try to figure out how things are going to go. I didn’t even know to put in paragraph breaks.
This is after I had learned a lot more on writing an essay, I believe that it had came out pretty good at the beginning. I had learned so much on how to write up a reflection for an essay. Also, I learned how to set up many reflection paragraph, like these ones. They were more than just one paragraph, you had to explain everything that had changed and everything that you had done during this research process. I felt as though I did a good job writing everything up.

412The house on Mango street
by Sandra Cisneros
In the story The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros. Esperanza talks about getting shoes and talking to older men. The comments that the men and younger boys are highly inappropriate. When the man said that he would call the cops on them and tells them to take them off, I think they should of listen to the man because it would of saved them from being really awkwarded out from all the things that happens with the boys. The girls don’t want to give up their shoes but they don’t want all this attention anymore.
In the beginning of this story Esperanza a young seventh grader, moves into a house on Mango street and meets her friends Lucy and Rachel. In the first few chapters she talks about shoes and describes what happens when she gets the shoes. One day the grandmother of a family with tiny feet asked, “Do you wants these? and gave us a paper bag with one pair of lemon shoes and one red and one pair of dancing shoes that used to be white but now pale blue” (40). They really like those shoes. They would wear them all around town and was learning how to walk perfectly in them. They walked around to get all the attention they could get by all the boys. They didn’t think it would be much trouble. Until Rachel got asked for a kiss by a homeless man, they got really scared. They took off and then they threw the shoes away. They don’t understand which type of attention that they should get and they don’t understand that some types of attention is really inappropriate and shouldn’t be happening.
When they were walking around the town in their high heels. “On the Avenue a boy on a home made bicycle calls out: Ladies, led me to heaven” (41). If this boy was around their age then it would be fine. Esperanza, Rachel and Lucy both like all the boys checking them out and giving them wanted attention. All 3 of them want this attention, and don’t find it wrong when the men call out complements or do something to them. The shoes make them look older and more mature and they want to look prettier and get seen as older girls instead of seventh graders. The boys that complement them they think they look really good and older. They make complements that make the girls feel good but it could get inappropriate. The girls don’t know it could lead to something sexual or it could end into harassment.
The boys hit on the girls when they were wearing the shoes, the point is that they shouldn’t wear high heels, because the girls could get hurt or they could get sexually harassed by older man. Some times older man can be perverts and as she was saying when she walked up to the old man he said to Rachel, “You are a pretty girl. bum man continues, whats your name pretty girl?” (41). But rachel didn’t even care that the man was talking to her and was falling for his tricks. He asked her “If I give you a dollar will you kiss me?”(42) She was going to, until Lucy grabs her and ran. These shoes are very inappropriate for a little girl that get to roam around the town by them selves. The point with these shoes is wearing dressy or high heels it could be really dangerous specially if they did get sexually harassed by an older man that would scar them for life.
In the story The house on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros. Esperanza a seventh grader, wears shoes like a young lady with her friends and it makes them look older. They go around talking to all the boys. They think they could look more older and more presentable with high heels. They want to get noticed by all the boys that they see. Until Rachel was being talked to by an old homeless guy that asked for a kiss for a dollar. Esperanza talks about all sorts of shoes and her adventures with her shoes and what happens with all the comments and boys watching. She talks about all the harassment she gets when she walks around town and to about what happens and about all the problems that happens with them.
This piece shows how I can be really sloppy in the essay form. It also showed that I had learned a little bit more about writing essays and correctly citing quotes in a paragraph. If I could of course now that I have learned much more about the key to essays I would upgrade this 5 paragraph essay and make it have better grammar, less run-ons and fragments. If i compared this writing and a writing from last year and the end of freshman year you would see a little bit of change :)

Me and Jaymie did just about the same as all the others, screaming, whining, crying and most of all being energetic! We bounced off the cream colored walls, scooted down the porch stairs on our butts. Splishing and splashing in the mud puddles, swooshing down the slides, running and diving onto the swings face forward. Having a competition of who can jump the farthest off of the swing. Or whose shoes could smash into the house, I can just see those shoes flapping in the wind –Whoosh. Into the bulkhead the shoe went.
Jaymie always claims she won. Always did everything first, always in the middle seat between me and Brendan. Always getting the first snack, sneaking out of nap time going down in her brothers room to watch Tom and Jerry or Spongebob Squarepants.

I chose this piece of work because I really enjoy the beginning of the piece, it was put together well. I really liked writing up the vignettes because I was able to choose every topic I really wanted to write, instead of getting assigned a write up. This piece of work shows that I can get really creative and caring and develop well paragraphs once I'm really into the topic. But the one thing that it doesn't show as a good English student is when I put in many different facts in different paragraph and make it so many different things are going on and being said. It shows the improvement and differences of one piece of work when I don't really like the prompt compared to something I want to write and what I enjoyed.

spPlay time
“No I don’t want to go!” Screaming and crying we headed to the daycare. I begged my mom to let me stay home with Brittany, “its not fair, I don’t want to go!” I didn’t let go, just kept on crying and holding on. The unfamiliar lady grabs me and takes me into the living room. I ran back to the door and screamed for my mother to come back.
When I was 3 and a half my mother got a full time job and had to bring me to the neighbors daycare. The ladies name was Karen, it turned out she had a daughter that was 2 months older than me, her name was Jaymie. After I got used to the daycare, we always played together, though I always started off by sitting in my most favorite and most calming spot; In the corner under the kitchen table. She always walked over to me and brought me into the loud, fun filled playroom where theres a paradise of everything you could ever wish for, TOYS! Screaming and hollering. They threw the toys around the room, banging them off the walls.

When I got to second grade my mother finally lets me stay home with Brittany even though now I scream and cry because I don’t get to go to my best friends house every single day. We all work it out, we got play dates every other day. which lead to family get togethers and spending most of the time at her house and or she’s over at mine. We go everywhere together. And to this day in 2012 we still are best friends but not as close as we were when we were younger but still very close. Every time we’re together I get the eventful and fun memories of our childhood

Final Exam Essay
Dear Reader!
On this fine day of my freshman year of 2011- 2012. When I first entered Ms. Tierney-Fifes classroom I would probably say I was very unorganized, which I’m not saying I’m not now. I was always a teenager that liked to slack off on their homework. I would always fall behind on my reading, and on my writing assignments. But, when I did them, they would be pretty interesting to read. I would always have run on sentences, to many ‘ands’ and plenty of fragment sentences. Basically I didn’t know how to write an essay. I also never really had to research anything specially for a BIG project that we had done in January called the I-Search. During the whole year of Fresh-manity I had learn so much! I had also learned quickly not to slack off. Mostly all this had been upgraded since september. I know how to write an essay but I’m still kind of behind on the run on sentences. I had also learned to ask more questions about the many things that I had complications on or to stay after school to get extra help on organization. My teacher had helped very much when she gave us outlines to use, it really help organize a lot! Ms. Tierney-Fife also did a wonderful job helping me get ready with the I-search and taught me how to take notes to write a seven or more pages long research essay, I literally started panicking also luckily Ms. Klement had joined up and helped out SO much! It was wonderful to experience both of their help! Many days Ms. Klement helped me with organization, grammar and spelling errors when ever she checked my work. She helped me learn different strategies about how to keep organized.
This years goals were: “I want to get better at writing big paragraphs without run on sentences.” Also “I want to improve my read and lessen my moments when i go on auto pilot, and to read more books during the school years instead of just in the summer.” First is first, I’m not a very strong reader never have. If I have extra time I probably spend it on something else instead of picking up a book. Plus during the school year I’m to unorganized after to school to even want to try and read without needing time to do all my written up homework. So I will continue with that one goal until I succeed with it and make it happen. Secondly I had improved my paragraphs so much this year they are much better than they were at the beginning of the year. But I still need to continue on with making sure I keep the run ons and fragments out of my paragraphs.
What I’m most proud of this semester would being really into Romeo and Juliet and really wanting to read it more and more and get involved with it. I liked the write up we had to do for it, but had gotten a little confused on the outline. Out of the whole year I probably the most proud of writing the vignette, they were the funnest writing and most creative. I also very much liked that I was able to choose my own topic and to just write more about what I really wanted to write and I liked the set up.
Actually I guess that worked well for me most this year was being able to have a relationship with my teacher that actually very much helped me and teach me from whats right and whats wrong. What didn’t work for me was when I was to shy to ask questions even if I was to confused I would try to work it out just the way I thought of how it could go. But in all reality I just guessed on what we were suppose to do. I guess I didn’t push myself to the max that I probably could of gone. But I made sure I did better than I did last year. I pushed myself to make sure to do all work, to make sure i ask for questions, to participate, and to just listen and not be shy around anyone.
Where do I begin for a reader I need to grow and be more open to many different choices of books. To want to read freely instead of being assigned reading and not doing much of it. For a writer i need to banish ‘and’ they are my biggest problem. My next years challenges are reading! Reading! Reading! to openly in my spare time want to actually read.
