music

Music no longer flows through your earphones. You didn't listen to me yesterday and i cannot play music anymore. You went outside and read a book instead. How could you?

You can be anything that I create. My thoughts can come through you to tell others how I of creating something out of nothing. And you allow me to do that. Art, you are comforting to me in hard times. you make me feel special because I can create things that are pretty cool.

Love,
Emmy King

Thoughts in Macbeth

I am actually understanding this play a lot more than I thought i would. I feel like i can somewhat understand the language when we're just reading along without stopping although i need the clarification just to make sure I get all the details. i would have to say that it is pretty gruesome. It's a little to bloody for my taste but it's better since I'm not seeing it in real life. i also think that the voices are kinda creepy. I'm not really confused on anything yet because everything seems to be fitting together in my mind so far. Although I kinda wonder what inspired Shakespeare to write such a dark play.

Geoffrey Chaucer

He was an English poet from the 1300's. His last name is french and it comes from the Latin last name and it means shoemaker. He was in the French war. He was taken as a prisoner of war. When he was set free and returned he was granted a pension of twenty marks. He was given the name dilectus vallectus noster which in English means our beloved yeoman. He married philippa who also received a pension of ten marks. In his life he wrote The Book of the Duchesse in honor of John of Grant's wife, who died in 1334.

Writing

My writing experience throughout my three years of high school hasn't been that bad. Writing isn't something that is really easy for me because sometimes i have an idea in my head and then another idea and it's hard to get all of them down on paper in a way that makes sense. I have found that this has been the problem with my writing since freshman year because i have had the word awkward written in my papers many times. Although I do think that I have improved especially with the help of Mrs. Edwards. She made everything really clear. I think that I understand the format of a formal essay now and i can base my writing on that skill. I also think that my wording has improved some but that could still use some work. I think the the most difficult part of writing is starting because I have all these ideas and trying to think of just one is really hard because if you pick a bad one you're stuck with it for the rest of the paper unless you want to rewrite the paper. Rewriting the entire paper never really seems like a fun option either.

The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say. ~Anaïs Nin

I wish i could do that and that's kinda what i try to do but it never works out.

My hero would probably have to be anyone who has helped me alone the way. I really can't just pick one. My parents are my heroes and some of my friends are my heroes and also some of my teachers are great role models as well. My parents have always been there and have always been my heroes. And the one thing that i can count on is that they will be there for me whenever i need them in the further as well. My friends have changed and I've made new ones and I have had new guidance from. I love being able to have friends as heroes. A few of my teachers are also my heroes. And I have had new ones such as Ms. Honaker. I really like and respect her. She is such a strong person and she is someone that I look up to.
