Let me just start by saying that Anne Frank is just a perfect little girl. She was thrown into a bad spot in her life but she kept moving forward. If you look at all she has been through you would take a step back and call her a hero because of how brave she was. Anne Frank was just 13 years of age when she went into hiding in a secret annex in the upstairs attic of her fathers work shop. From there she spend just over two and a half years in this secret annex with eights others with nobody to talk to her won age other than a boy peter. To be a girl growing up it was hard for her. She was the youngest out of all of the Jews hiding in the annex so she was thought of as the most annoying of them all and the most irresponsible. Therefore her opinions were…
Winter break, one of the best times of the year. People get to be with friends, celebrate holidays, and eat a lot. We don't have to worry about school work or worry about drama that makes us stressed out. Winter break gets me away from all that and I'm glad. I got to do a lot of fun stuff. What I did over winter break was out of the ordinary. It was so intense that nothing could compare to it. Sleeping, most of the break I was sleeping.

Thanksgiving I always love this time of the year because of the holidays. In just a few short days Thanksgiving will be here.

The most memorable unit from my educational experience occurred in my twelfth grade English class. The unit was a comparative reading about Beowulf and Gilgamesh, which entailed several discussion based lectures and a final paper comparing the archetypes of heroes and characters. For me, this unit was so interesting as we discussed what made a hero and the hero’s journey, during this time I was writing my own book. I connected with this lesson because of my experiences outside school; with this…

up with a thesis and an introduction paragraph is what makes writing an essay stressful for me. Not to mention those times when I have writer’s block and I cannot think of any new ideas for my essay. I can fairly say all throughout my high school year I enjoyed my English classes. Although my high school was different than a regular high school because while I was in high school we had the opportunity to take dual credit classes. So, I do have a confession, this is my second time taking English…
Jefferson Elementary. Jefferson had this really tall principle and this Asian teacher that never got along with me.

All in all, I loved pigging out at lunch time and going on the monkey bars during recess which I remember falling from and spraining my wrist one time. Six Grade When I first set foot on Leroy F. Greene, which…
essay from last semester, and my very first college essay also from last semester. With these three in mind I decided one was not like the others, thus my most memorable writing experience would have to be my very first college essay, a short three page paper assigned on a pivotal point in my life, entitled “No, Because I Said So.” This is my most memorable writing experience for three reasons, the first being because it was so difficult for me to write, the second, it took me writing the paper…
of the great writers and most remembered was Richard Connell. Connell was a popular author and journalist whose short stories were regularly published in magazines such as “The Saturday Evening Post” and “Collier’s weekly”.

Connell’s childhood, college experience, and experience in the service all influenced his writing topics and style; as well as the Naturalism…
