Final English post

Reading: for me, reading was a punishment, I hate reading. I always assume books are boring before I even start them. Although there were a couple of books this year that I did like that made reading easier and more fun. But still I DO NOT like to read and I would never chose reading as a 'fun' activity.

Blogging: Blogging was okay but still very stressful. It was hard to remember the dates, however I only missed one blog!! Blogging wasn't as bad as everybody claims it is. It was more fun when we got to say what we wanted to (like this one) instead of just talking about a book that no one even cares about your opinion on.

English Freshman year: words can't even express how much I'm going to miss my English class and teacher so much!! English was one of the 2 classes that I actually enjoyed going to! And it was even better that my class wasn't boring, we may be loud but we are bot boring!!!! Amyways, freshman year was so much better because of this class. I have definitely made some amazing life long friends in their and I hope to see all again:)
P.S. this wouldn't allow me to put the pictures in that I wanted to.

The Great Gatsby

So, For my last book of my freshman year I decided to pick something a little harder and so I chose, The Great Gatsby. AND IT IS DIFFICULT. But it is also amazing. Now I saw the movie before I read the book and there are similarities but there are also quite a bit of differences. Although I like them both, if I had to choose one as a favorite, I would have to say the book, and I'm not even finished with it yet. Anyways, I'd say I'm about half way through it and I love it. So far you have met most of the characters and I'm just now getting to the part where Gatsby and Daisy meet again for the first time since forever ago. Gatsby is a nervous wreck and it's kind of funny, he is trying to make everything is perfect and Daisy doesn't even know that she is going to see Gatsby. She thinks she was just invited to go have tea and catch up with her cousin (which is the main character by the way). It's a great book and probably my favorite that I have ever read ever. It takes a couple chapters to get into it but it's totally worth it. And although there is a lot of big vocabulary in it, it makes a lot of sense when you look them up. I recommend this book to EVERYONE!!! It is amazing and I think we read it junior year anyways but I'm looking forward to the unit!
