Shakespeare Language

Taylor, thou mealed with the merchant in a miching way. Thou hast baffled your family honor. Thus of your bale, thou art forfended to leave the house. Thou father head-lugged thee to thy house. Thee are now hand-fast to Bartimaeus.

"[Thine] breath stinks with eating toasted cheese.

I think Shakespeare is telling someone that their breath smells bad because of something they ate.

Quotes to Think About

- "We never know the worth of water 'til the well is dry."

This quote can mean many things, but what I take from it is that you never know what you have until it's gone. Such as maybe your friendship with someone, or a sibling that graduated and moved away to college and you used to take advantage of it and now you can't.

9.11.09

When 9/11 happened, I was living in Mobeetie, Texas. It was just before I went to school and my mom had turned on the news. I remember hearing so many stories about what happened and always seeing things about it. I completely think that in twenty years we will still be remembering September 11th. In my own opinion, I think that the terrorists chose to attack America is because we are the most independent and strong nation in the world. I don't know of anyone who was affected from this attack. If I were to write a story about this, it would be from an outside view point and I would write about how this tragedy affected our entire country in so many ways.

Abate

I take headache pills to abate the pain.

Which Is More Important?

Honestly, I think both friendship and my morals are very important to me. Only if I absolutely had to chose one, would I actually do that. Out of the two, my morals are just a little bit more important, but then again, if I were to lose my friendship with that other person, that would be very hard to do as well. So, unless that situation was happening to me, I can't honestly say what I would do about it.

The Lovely Bones

I think this book sounds very interesting. The whole mystery about the murderer and the questions everyone still has about this murder makes it interesting. Honestly, if we don't read this book in class, I might have to go read it myself. So I completely think we should read it during class.

Why Blog?

We can use blogging in the class to be able to know other opinions on different subjects. I feel that it's a good idea to say what you feel and read what other people feel about it, too.
