Vocabulary Words 4-30-12: Last blog!

As school comes to a end, I would like to reflect upon the past year. In the beginning of the year, all of the students were tremulous as they met their new teachers and prepared for the daunting year ahead. When everyone became used to the quotidian schedule, it was clear that each student became more intrepid. Throughout the year, massive amounts of schoolwork and studying did not allow me to work as a babysitter as much as I would like, so now I am impecunious when I go shopping. Even though everyone secretly hopes that the school will be razed to the ground, I will miss all of the teachers that I got to know this year.

Vocabulary Words 4-16-12: What is your favorite of the four books?

If I had to choose my favorite of the four books that we read, I would choose Little Bee. One of the best parts of this book is that Little Bee is impassive and almost haughty when she thinks of herself in America, yet has been through so much in her short life.

Vocabulary Words 4-2-12: Why do you like the Hunger Games series?

Although Suzanne Collins is upbraided for the brutality of her novels, I find them excited and I believe that they are an interesting take on communism. From the very beginning Katniss is a winsome character that gains support from all readers. When she is subjected to abject humiliation and degradation during the Hunger Games, I felt the emotions that she felt and found myself lost in the story. One of my favorite parts was when Katniss stopped being quiescent in Mockingjay and became the rebel icon.

Vocabulary Words 3-26-12: What do you want to be when you grow up?

When I grow up, I want a career that seems very quixotic. I would like to be an actress or a writer for a comedic T.V. show.

Although the reputation of actors and actresses tends to depreciate over a period of time, my favorite actor is from the 70s.

Vocabulary Words 3-12-12: What do you think of the open gradebook?

I think that the gradebook prevents students from beguiling their parents into thinking that they are doing better than they really are. Although some parents may make callous remarks about bad grades, the gradebook's good qualities overshadow its flaws. My parents know that I tell the truth to them, so they don't feel the need to look online to debunk what I have told them. However, the gradebook has been very helpful in motivating me to get better grades.
