The value of my time

Honestly, today is highly stressful. I mean I'm not going to say why but there is a lot going on. There always is life isn't so simple but here we are pushing through it. I don't know what to do to relieve this type of stress. I am doing all my work when I have the chance even if it is 5 minutes I continue to do my homework. It is hard to figure out what you have to do to get to your goal in the future because there is just so much to do.

Hawthorne & Poe on Dreams

I think the reasoning why both of them, Hawthorne and Poe make us believe that is the deal is real is the details. They describe everything so well throughout it that it makes the story/poem sound real. Hawthorne uses literary devices like symbolism and allusion. Poe uses symbolism as well. Though he has other literacy devices like metaphors and personification. 

Investing in me

I work a lot I have two jobs at the moment and once I get to work more after highschool the checks will be bigger. Thankfully they will and the means that I can pay for school and get a car. I don't think there is anything else to do to get money, yes scholarships but other than that it is mainly about working for it.

Letter to my mentor

I was looking for something to support my big question and during my search, it was hard to come across and site that would help. I searched many things to get something to help me with my big question and even though it is aimed towards men it continued to bring up women. That bugs me because yes women are a victim of different types of abuse but SO ARE MEN. So I came across this writing by Natasha Tracy. I just want to thank her first and then as I read it I notice that she gave all these reasons and why these people stay. It was nice to read somethings and agree with it all. I just hate that people have this stereotype against men that they are terrible people. Not all are and sometimes it is the women. 

First impression of a dream

My first impression was confusion, I reread it a couple of times because I didn't really seem to understand it at first. As I got to start reading it over and over again until I realize that there are two things going on. The first part is about sad love and the other one the person is on the beach that just seems mad. Not really maybe the fact that it is also about a dream as well.
