Essay Writing

When the school year began, I dreaded the idea of writing a full blown essay. I was not the best at being and essay writer, and I also only knew a few things about what an essay should contain. But during the course of this year, I have picked up a few tricks of the trade such as essay structure, (thanks to the Gilman Method) as well as using theme motifs and symbols to be the driving force in my writing. Thus, I will hopefully end this year being a great essay writer, and by next school year, I will be a magnificent one.

I believe that my essay has many things that I can learn about from my mistakes. If I want an A, I will need to be less redundant and have original ideas instead of dull ones. As these are the two most difficult ones for me to fix, I will need to try a little harder to think of new ways to say "fate", and to have thoughts of my own that will stand out of the crowd.

READING IS SO FUN.

My summer reading list is golden. Included in the striking assortment is Alice Walker's The Color Purple and Harry Potter and The Sorcerers Stone ( A.K.A. The Philosopher's Stone) by J.K. Rowling. If I have time I would like to read, and these two books are at the top of my list.

The reason I would like to read The Color Purple is because I heard that it is a great piece of work that is not only inspirational, but is also elusive and vivid. The reason why I want to read Harry Potter and The Sorcerers Stone is because I haven't read it yet. People make fun of me because I only have seen the movies.

-FATE-

I was born on August 19th, making my astrological sign the Leo. I should be a person who enjoys pushing themselves to the limit, both physically and mentally; Which I do because I am the chief. Also by what is said, I am a real go getter, and will work nearly nonstop to achieve a goal. Some bad news is that when I am older, I will become fat because I will be in love with food. And that, I admit is a fact.

I am meant to be a very productive, disciplined and realistic worker, which I really should be, and want to be, but I have to say I am a little too lazy. At times I can withhold those characteristics, but only if the tasks are important and/or short. And I would have to disagree with the myth that I am an extremely charismatic man. I wish I had all of the characteristics given to me, but being a new person would be to much for a person like myself who is not cut out to meet those high standards.

What I found in my horoscope would be me if I was a perfectionist. Of course I would love to be that kind of person, but it is just not me. In Romeo and Juliet, astrology is used constantly by the characters to show the emphasis on their emotions. The stars and sky references give perspective on how significant Romeo's feelings are for Juliet and vice versa. And coming from the dark sky of the night, are forms of fate that always comes with destiny. The stars symbolize fate in a way that also reveals love.
