Thankful for a Classmate

This year I am thankful for many things. Among those are my friends in my English class. Eric is a really funny guy and a good friend to have, especially since we have so many classes together this year. We both share similar interests and work well together in class. He has a great personality to compliment all of this.

I am also thankful that Rivka is in my class because she is super smart and funny. Every year since 7th grade she has been in at least one of my classes, usually Spanish, however this year she is in my English class.We often do group work together, which we complete super fast.

Finally, I would like to thank Adam and Sally for making the class more fun and lively with their endless questions and comments. Without them the class would not be as great.
Thank you everyone for making up this wonderful class, I hope everyone has a great thanksgiving!

Principles to Keep

I think the most important principle to keep are morals. They are what make us human. They set standards for us; something to follow bye. Like guidelines morals keep us civilized and are usually an unwritten set of beliefs of what a person thinks is right. Morals can make us caring to others, which is needed in the world in the Road. In fact, they characterize us and shape us to who we are. If people kept the same morals they had before the apocalypse, they would be caring to each other and helpful. This would prevent many of the deaths that run rampant in the world. Therefore, morals are essential and should be kept.

John Proctor: Hero or Stooge?

John Proctor was introduced early into the play. Many people in Salem look to him as a reasonable and sensible man that keeps his wits in even the hardest of times. The reader quickly learns about the adultery John had done with Abigail. Later we see John have his loyalty put to the test as he talks with Abigail in private. Despite her begging of John to admit he loved her, he sticks to his wits, not letting him be persuaded.

When John gets arrested he admits he committed adultery which saves several innocent people from being hung. His sacrificed proved to the town that despite what he had done, he was still willing to be the sensible man everyone knew him to be by saving people and admitting his mistakes. Although this dirtied his name, he saved several people making it worth the effort.  Despite some of the bad things he did, including the lack of religion in his house, his sacrifice made up for it.

There Goes The Neighborhood

In the later 1600s to the late 1700s the colonization of the Americas were beginning to move west. Before the Revolution occurred many colonists were taking advantage of the wilderness to try to find rare resources and explore. This caused anger among the Indians because they felt as though they were being invaded and taken advantage of. Earlier, before the French had been defeated by the British, the Indians didn't mind colonization because it improved trade. However, once the French lost the war, a wave of British flooded in to explore the once French controlled area. This didn't settle well with the Indians because the British were farmers, which meant flattening and stripping the land of its natural traits. A good example of their anger to this was the Pontiac Rebellion where several tribes banded together and used physical means of removing the invaders. Although peace was made, the Indian's land was still being colonized. Their sacred land that meant so much to them in life style and beliefs was being ruined, hence them looking at colonizers more as invaders and thieves.

About me

Hello, my name is Gabriel and I live in Chicago, Illinois. I was an academic center student for seventh and eight grade, and I am now entering freshman year. I like to hangout with my friends both in and out of school. I enjoy playing soccer and running on the cross country team. This Saturday will be our first meet of the season. I used to be a horrible runner, but all of the practice has helped me improve. I live in a high rise downtown with my 2 parents. My mom is from Mexico and my dad is American.

When I was younger I would travel to mexico almost once every year to visit my family, most of whom lived in Mexico City. My favorite class is probably chemistry because it is fun and interesting. I just recently started to play guitar as an elective having not played for about 6 years. Over the summer I went to Italy and France for 2 weeks, which was filled with new things an experiences then I am used to in the US. Following the trip, when I got back I went to a sailing camp and learned how to sail. Although we used small boats, I still had a great time and and hope to go again next year. Although there is still so much more in my life to write about, these are the most recent events worth writing about.
