Letter to Freshmen English

Dear Freshmen class,

         I cannot believe that the year is coming to a close already. I feel that I have grown closer to everyone of you, and gotten to know you all much better. It has been a fun year, and we have learned so much together. The best part of english was learning all new types of writing. I never knew many of those types of writing existed until this year. I have also enjoyed the books that we have read in class. They were entertaining and very informative at the same time.

We are all blessed to have a great school to go to, and get a good education. I feel that all of you have become much better English students, and I am glad that I was there to see you all improve. It has been great learning with you all.

Procedures for this year

       This year, honestly I wish I would have done better with my procedures. In general, I had all my supplies when I needed them. Also I rarely left the class room for water, or going to the restroom, so I did well in that subject. In class discussion, I had some trouble. Sometimes, I blurt out irrelevant things thats are unnecessary to the class discussion. I also lose focus often and talk to my neighbors, instead of Dr. deGravelles. I believe that I have grown much in my writing and reading this year. I am very proud of myself for the progress that I have made.
        

Reading This Year

         As I look back at this years writing, I am very surprised. Honestly, I thought that reading this year would be a pain. to my surprise, it was fun. I learned much about the styles of writing, and how to read like a reader. In learning this, I was able to read with a better understanding of the plot, theme, characterization, setting, and Point of view. By reading more, I could notice the things that we were discussing in the course as I was reading.
         I have learned many things about myself as a reader. I notice a drastic change in my reading understanding. By learning how to annotate in the books that we have read this year, I can focus on the more important things in the books. Also, I have learned how to read quicker, while still having a good understanding the material. I have grown much in my reading this year, and have enjoyed it as well.

Lady Macbeth's perspective

         It is very complicated to be Macbeth's wife. He is  kind husband. When I heard that he was going to be king, all I could think was "How will this happen?" and then I thought of something else. The power. I want the power, not just for my husband, but for me. I need to take action. I can easily manipulate Macbeth, by being harsh, yet seductive. I was right, he gave in just as I thought. Wait. What is this feeling that I am having. Could it be guilt? Maybe, I need to wash my hands.
