Letter
Dear Ms. Justice,

In English class I have my bad and good experiences with writing. But at the end of the school year my goal is to be able to write really good papers.

I have had some really good papers in English class. I can put some vocabulary in there really good. I am best at using vocabulary in my papers most of the time. I think I am also really great at putting grammar into my papers. In some of my papers I have really good citations but that's most of the time. I think I can have really good papers by the end of this school year. You can be amazed at how well I write some papers.

Most of all I need improvements as grammar,use of words, and some citations. I really like for the teacher to help me get better at making great papers with good citations, use of words and the use of less words that I use to much. I feel like after reading my papers that their not good enough to be looked at and graded. I want to be able to get really good grades on my papers and pass and not get unfocused when I am writing. Most people think they can write good papers but not until you get good experience with writing. I just really want to be able to write my papers and not fail them because of many grammar and citations errors.

By the end of each school year I want to be able to write a paper and not fail it because it is off topic. I want to be a good writer by the time I get older.

All about me
I was born here in New Bern, North Carolina but most of the time I was raised in Tennessee. I moved when I was really little but moving felt awful because when I made new friends I had to move away. Most of my family is from Tennessee. I have a older brother, he is 18 almost 19. He is annoying mean and doesn't do anything half the time but he can have his sweet, loving, and caring moments. Whenever I have free time I play sports or dance. Like softball, volleyball, tap dance, and my most favorite ballet. I sometimes would do cheer leading but I am more of a softball girl. I do love movies like twilight, series, horror movies and romance and comedies. But my most recent favorite movie is insidious. It was a really good movie to me it was. Most of the music I like is screamo, heavy metal, punk rock because I love just rocking out and going crazy like dance crazy. I do have goals in life which is get to college, graduate, and make something of my life unlike most of my family and I want to have a family, get married and be very successful so I can get my kids what ever they want. My parents can be pretty cool most of the time they have their moments of being mean but I think it's just because they care about me and I am their little girl. But they have struggled with jobs and money I think it is because they didn't get the education they needed to have a successful life and also get to be something that they wanted to be. But I still love my parents very much because they don't want me to make the same mistakes they made. My mom getting pregnant at a young age. My parents just wants me to make something of my life and go to college and get a job unlike my brother.

Ch.4 Night
This chapter is talking about how they think Buna camp is good. If somebody had gold tooth would get their numbers added. They had people in different groups and took Eli Wiesel with the group that went in the orchestra block. If Eli Wiesel didn't give his crown on his tooth then there would be consequences for it. If people would not give stuff then they would torture them for it. Prisoners can't meddle in other people's affairs so they would get a box and make you lay on your stomach on it and counted how many times. At Buna they hung 3 people and after that there was total silence through out the camp.

Good writer or not?
I don't think I am good writer because I can't write good papers. I barely can write poetry I have written some good papers and plenty of them but I just don't consider myself a good writer. I seem to mess up a lot or use the same word all the time and talk about different things through out the paper. On my writing I would need help with it because I really don't write good papers most of the time we are told to write a paper on something specific.

What goes around comes around
I agree on this because what you want will come around one day. If you do something to somebody that it will come around or what you do for somebody that one day it will happen to you. Basically it would be like everybody is paying it forward. If you end doing something for yourself that it will come around and you will have either the hurt, pain, or success it all depends on what you do to somebody and what you do for somebody. I really believe in what goes around comes around to everybody that does something bad or good for people.

Bullying reflection
I think that people shouldn't care rather your gay, lesbian, or bisexual. I think people should just accept the fact that most people don't want to be straight and want to be the way they are. People should really stop all the bullying because it cause a lot of teens to commit suicide and they be gone for good and their family be upset. Bullies need to think that people have different feelings but they should on the side the kid that getting bullied on and see how it feels. I really think people need to get over it and just accept gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgender for who they really are and not what they aren't. People need to grow up and let everybody be their self even if they like the same sex and listen to Lady Gaga and don't want to be straight. The bullies need to chill or teens will kill their self for getting made fun of because they like the same sex.

Ch.5 Night
In the rest of chapter 5 Eli had got a hurt foot that was full of pus. The drummer from the orchestra block gave his own neck to be killed. People in the hospital had been evacuated while the other ones ran away. People got more clothes and more food when they got to the other camp. Eli Wiesel was trying to find a bigger shoe from where his foot was swollen real big after walking on it not to long after he got it operated on.
