Hits and Misses
This year in english, I stuggled a lot but, I had some good outcomes. Although I did not make the best grades on my essays, I learned alot about high school writing. I found the expectations alot higher. I also discovered new vocabulary and styles of writing. I think I was more successful in Purple HIbiscus because I understood the projects and liked the freedom that came with it.
My weakess part of english this year was writting the papers. Some were easier to write then other but it was still a stuggle. For most, I found reaching the correct length hard. I had strong paragraphs but because I didnt have the correct length, I had to add lots of unecessary details to my thesis and conclusion. I think this weakend my paper. Luckily, the writing center helped a bunch, but I still did not recieve the grade I wanted. I think I am a better writer from these mistakes and I hope to make a higher grade on upcoming papers.

Anticipating our next book
If something is destined to happen, it will happen without your interference.
I agree with this statement because if something is destined to happen it with happen. I think that you cannot change your future. There may be events that can impact your life but the future outcome will be the same. It is possible to change your way through life but it is impossible to change your destiny.
Who we are--our essential character and temperament--is fixed and unchangeable.
I agree/disaggree with this statement. I think you are born with "fixed" traits or unchangeable traits. These traits could be stubborness, or something more like dyslexia. On the other hand, there are traits such as level of kindness or patience. I think that over time you can grow more patient or be more kind, but something like stubborness doesnt useually change.

What am I afraid of?
I am not afraid of heights or bugs, but I am afraid of being alone. I hate staying home alone or going anywhere by myself. I am ten times more anxious and scared. I have to be with someone most of the time or I feel alone. If I am alone, there has to be music or any kind of sound. If there is no sound I will almost have a panic attack. I am not afraid of being alone because I feel left out. I am afraid of being alone because I feel vulnerable. If someone is there I feel safer. This fear is called Monophobia. Besides being home alone, I am also afraid of being alone in the future. I dont' know what I would do if all of my family died.
Purple Hibiscus reading 4/10
Purple Hibiscus is the most challenging book we have read this year. Unlike LOTF, this book is more realistic and serious. One important part of Purple Hibiscus is tracking the characters. The characters are all very different and have a different path in this book. For example, Kambili goes through drastic personality changes as she discovers her distant family and understands the world around her.
From read Purple Hibiscus, I think annotating is key to understanding what is going on. Through annotating , you can ask questions, track characters, and interpret events in your own words. I have noticed lot more details from annotating. It has also helped me to find the main ideas in chapters and write summaries.
