Figurative Lanuage Content Paragraph

 I think that figurative language help you have a better understanding on things. I like similes the best because it compares it and kind of give you the definition the word like: The sun is as hot as the oven. It's describing how hot the sun is. Or personification the engine roared like a lion, and a metaphor is like:life is a journey
, comparing to dislike things.

"Boy at the Window" Before You Read: Silly Childhood Fear

When I was little I was terrified of sleeping alone and the dark. I use to fall asleep with my t.v on and the door open. I use to get horrible nightmares that had my crying and running to my Mommy's room. I loved having my own room in the day time. I remember moving into my new house and dreaded these words from my mom " Honey your getting your own room!" she said it with so much excitement, I was so scared that I ran into my moms room and cried so hard that I just feel asleep. It took me such a long time to get over that fear. Only recently I got over that fact, and learned to sleep with my door closed and the light off, but that's only because I have a roommate :)

“A Blessing” Break into Blossom Paragraph

Since I was little all I wanted was to fit in. I wanted to get along with everyone. I wanted to be the most popular and the best looking. The girl that everyone wanted and adored. I expected so much in myself and many times failed to reach my expectations. It started off when I was in elementary school I had my two best friends, Janet and Ada. I remember the times that we shared like it was yesterday. The time that stuck out the most was when we joined the talent show. I remember how hard we practiced. We performed to genie in a bottle by Britteny spears. I told all of my friends my dad was going to rent a limo and wed get dropped off with Britteny spears. We did so great everyone forgot about the lie I told. I also remember how in middle school i would always try and hang out with the cool crowd even though I didn't really fit in because I didn't dress how they did or have long hair and piercings like they did. I would always try to go home and change how I looked so that I could just fit in. I later on moved to a different high school and I met my best friend Tahnee. We clicked the first day I met her. She taught me a how to accept myself. By 7th grade I've grown tremendously, I was very mature, and learned to gain respect for myself. I tried my hardest to treat people how I wanted to so that I wouldn't fight with everyone. I took advanced classes even though I didn't really know how to do it, I just wanted to look smart. My eighth grade year I really step it up and got a 3.0 :) . In high school I had a lot of drama, because again a different crowd and I wanted to fit in, by the end of my freshman year I learned how to deal with people better. I've gone through so many stages in my life that helped mold me into the person that I am today. I want to be remembered as who I was and who I am now, a totally different person.

"Kennedy Nonfiction" Content Paragraph

Learning about President Kennedy's death and his life helped me learned a lot of things. In Ms.Priesters english class we read about JFK and his time as president and what happened leading up to his death. When JFK was murdered he was fighting against rasicm it was very common back then. It still is now, but not as bad as before. History help you understand nonfiction more because they have more facts to go behind the story.
