Junior Year

My junior year has been filled with ups and downs along this first semester. School feels pretty easy this year.

Classes go along quicker and easier now that I am a junior. It seems as though there is less work involved now. I like most all of my classes but have to worry time to time about one of my classes, chemistry, because it is real hard for me. Chemistry is the only class that gives me a lot of trouble. I'm just not to good at it i guess. Algebra and Spanish two are going really well and I thought they'd be the hardest.

Sports started off pretty hard for me. In March, I broke my femur in half during a soccer game after scoring a goal. I was out until the middle of June. Around the middle of June I started jogging, running, and working out again. People say that I recovered quick, but I don't think so because when football started i still couldn't go one hundred percent. I got real mad during practice when I couldn't go as hard as I thought I could. The first few weeks sucked, but it got better and I started the first game of the season.

My year has been pretty good over all, but could have been a lot better. Next semester is going to be great because it will be time for soccer. I love soccer. Its my favorite sport. I can't wait to get back on the field.

character John Procter

John Procter works very hard. He is a good man that wants more in life. John trys to do the right things but sometimes it doesn't work out in his favor. He does some bad things such as saying soft words to another girl while he is married, but Procter is a good man that thinks about things to the full extent. He thinks that Parris is just trying to get money and talk about things that scare the people of salem and he does not like this. In the end he dies for something and is not very good.

again ...more bullying

The novel that I am reading now, The Crucible, has the theme of bullying in it. This book is filled with drama and tells of the Salem witch trials.

Many characters bully in this novel. One case of bullying involves the girls against Mary Warren. Mary Warren tells Procter and the judge that the girls are just pretending and that everything that they are doing is fake. The girls argue and yell at her and pretend more in court to make Mary look like she's ling.

Another case of bullying is when people confess to witchcraft just so they cannot be hung later if accused. This I think is wrong because they could confess and accuse someone else who hasn't done anything wrong.

This novel definitely has to much drama for me. I would recommend this to someone who likes literature or just likes to read but i did not like it to much.

The good and the bad..

In the novel I am reading, The Kite Runner, the main character, Amir, goes though some rough and also good times.

Amir is a boy who grows up what some would call a nerd because of things he likes such as writing and books. Amir's servant ,Hassan, loves for Amir to read books to him. Amir takes advantage of this and makes up storys sometimes. Amir lies so that Hassan cannot go with him to America. Later on when he comes back, he finds that Hassan is his half brother and finds how much Hassan cares for him. Amir then tries to make things right in his life by finding Hassan's son.

Amir loves Hassan deep down, but couldn't show it until he was gone. This novel reads easy and is a little long, but it really makes you think about the way you approach things.
