A & P

         A and P is a short story that expresses the cultural shift the the 50s to the 60s. Sammy is the main character and he is kind of weird He is also kind of judgy because he insults the customers who walk in. A group of girls in bathing suits walked in and Sammy was not paying attention to his customers, but only them. From the setting of the store, you can tell that it is a boring day in the store because he is so interested in the girls.
        At the end of the story, Sammy quit his job in hopes of getting attention from the girls. He is working at A and P to support his family, so his life might change because he quit. This was a very stubborn act of Sammy because he did not have good intentions of doing it. The author described Sammy in ways that helped lead up to the conclusion. He did a good job to help the reader understand, but sometimes it went too far. Overall, A and P's setting and characters were very evident because of the descriptions throughout the story.

Fall Break Free Post

       Fall break is definitely one of my favorite breaks. It is a great break from school to relax and have fun. This past break, my mom and one of my friends mom surprised us with a trip to New York for our birthdays. We were both super excited and could not wait until we got there.        We had to get up at 3:30 Thursday morning to get to New Orleans to catch our flight. After the short plane ride, we did not waste any time, we jumped right in to doing things. We shopped the first day and went out to dinner for an early birthday dinner at the Sugar Factory. The next few days, we spent in Central Park, Little Italy, Brooklyn, and SoHo. Also, we went to see Hamilton. It was awesome! Overall, I had a very fun fall break and got a good break from studying and homework.

Hits and Misses

     This school year, along with English I is coming to an end. As I reflect on what went well and what went not so well, I come to conclusion with what I can put forth next year. We completed multiple assignments, such as personal narratives, literary analysis, research paper, and poetry. In these assignments, I have achieved both success and failures. I feel successful in my blog posts because I always spend time perfecting them and use them to become a better writer. Also, the personal narrative and research paper were my stronger assignments. We had lots of time to perfect these and get help. I took advantage of this and used this time to work on my writing skills.      I struggled with the poetry section and literary analysis. The poetry section was difficult for me because of all the different applications and variety it required. I work better with set, given instructions, so to be able to choose from ten different poetry styles was hard because I ...
