My Summer

               I started off my summer with a summer geometry course. I took the class with Katie and we spent a month constantly doing math homework. After that, I got to take a break and I went to the Adirondacks in New York. There, I visited with friends and family. We celebrated the fourth of July with my cousins by doing fireworks, having a picnic, and making smores. We stayed there for about two weeks. While we were there, we went tubing, paddle boarding, fishing, and hiking. Before we left New York completely, my family and I decided to stop in New York City. There, we spent lots of time shopping down Fifth Avenue. We also took a visit to the Statue of Liberty.

               Once we got back from New York, I realized I had a lot of summer reading to do. Once I finished all my summer reading, I went to Marimar Beach, Florida, with my friend and her family. At the beach we swam, tanned, and shopped. We also spent a day on her boat, which was super fun. Right when we got back from the beach, though, we had to prepare to go to orientation the next day.

Strengths and Challenges

                My strengths as a writer are organization and word choice. I have learned how to allow a thesis to lead my paper and give my paper its general order. This is significantly allowed my writing to be much more organized. My word choice has also been bettered. I have learned how to find meaningful words that help my writing be as specific as possible.                 I still need to work on voice. Sometimes, I do not use the right kind of writing styles to fit what my audience likes. For example, I struggle with when to use informal and formal styles. All of these areas are important because, as I continue to develop my writing knowledge, they will help me answer my rhetorical situations better. They will help me answer questions and prompts, and they will help me get my point across fluently and with ease.

LOTF Response

The world, that understandable and lawful world, was slipping away.  Once there was this and that; and now--and the ship had gone. [... Jack refusing to give Piggy the floor when he has the conch...] "The rules!" shouted Ralph.  "You're breaking the rules!" "Who cares?" Ralph summoned his wits. "Because the rules are the only thing we've got!" But Jack was shouting against him. "Bollocks to the rules!  We're strong--we hunt!  If there's a beast, we'll hunt it down!  We'll close in and beat and beat and beat--!" (91)                This paragraph shows that the boys were forgetting the organized society that they knew before they were deserted on the island. The boys civilization was breaking apart. As the civilization was breaking apart, the boys lost organization and order. This is significant because this breaking apart of the society leads to Piggy and Simon's deaths and the ultimate shift of power from

Where Is It?

               Dr. Dean, a cardiac surgeon, hears the dreaded noise. Oh no, not that noise , Dr. Dean thinks to himself. He rushes to find the defibrillator.                "Where is it, where is it?" Dr. Dean whispers in a frustrated voice, meanwhile seeing no sign of the defibrillator he most desperately needed.                The nurses rush in. The anesthesiologist checks her calculations, making sure she did not make the mistake no one wanted to have to break to Bill's parents. Surgeons sprinting to find the nearest doctor that could help.                "How could I have let this happen? I promised them he would be okay," Dr. Dean says, anxiously still looking for the stubborn instrument.                It has been fifteen minutes, no progress has been made on the hunt for the defibrillator. Dr. Dean's glimmer in his eyes flickers out. He realizes he must break the news to the parents. He walks, slowly, keeping track of each new step he takes.
