Hits and Misses

Something I felt was a hit this year was my Purple Hibiscus projects. I felt like I had put a lot of effort into these projects and I think I did really well in them. I did really well I think especially in the bread and butters and in the appetizer. I thought I did well with going in depth and analyzing the different quotes a lot. I also thought the appetizer was really good because I did a political timeline and it took a lot more time than the other appetizer projects and I thought I did really well with it.

I think I missed on part in the bread and butters and the same time that I did really well on them. I thought I didn't't always choose the best quotes and I chose very similar ones and it make some my analysis sound redundant. I thought my main miss was on the Poetry Test. I felt likeI was going to end up doing a lot better on that than I ended up actually doing. I think that was the thing I did worst in this school year in English.

It isn't my moms favorite holiday because eating food we don't especially like isnt our favorite pastime. So this holiday gets on my nerves.

Gun control

I am responding to a Newsday article written by Justin Haskins responding to the Las Vegas shooting and on the issue of gun control. Haskins makes the claim that strict gun laws will not work in this country as they already do not work. He also wants to explain why this will not work    " the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, a group that supports enhancing gun-control laws, gave in its recent gun-control report card “F” grades (for having lax gun laws) to five of the six states that have the lowest homicide rates"(Haskins). Haskins points out here that there is correlation between having gun laws that aren't strict and having low homicide rates. He also points out that the six states of Arkansas, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Alaska, and West Virginia are the only states that have 50% of households that own firearms. He points out that  these states are among the top ranked for having the lowest homicide rates. He discusses how the statistics from cities that have very low
"Ughhhhh!" Michael groans watching the monumental disappointment that is the LSU game.      "I can't believe this is happening I thought we were going to be good." Johnathon sighs as he tries to make sense of what is happening.      "Our defense is doing terrible." Michael says. "I don't even want to watch this anymore!" said Johnathon .      "Do you think next game will be any better?" Michael asked. "It better be or else I'm going to stop watching these games!" Johnathon exclaimed.      "That makes two of us!" Michael said as he turned off the tv.
