Persuasive Essay

Well, all in all I think that I'm ready for the persuasive essay. I'm planning to write on why the US should abolish the electoral college.

Finally

Well I finally figured it out! I had to create a new g-mail account but oh well at least everything is working now! I am really excited about the controversial issue discussion coming up. After the debate today, whew! it is going to be heated! That will make it very interesting and exciting!

Holy Moly!

I FIGURED IT OUT!
I think?
I had to create a whole new blogger account because you can't do it through shelby.k12.mi.us apparently?
I think thats what you're supposed to do...
Anyways now I can finally blog.
I just finished my essay.
What a relief!
And its 10:00...
Hmmm
Maybe I have a new bed time?
After all... I am a senior now :)

Leaves of Grass

So I was looking on a bookshelf in my house and I found Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman.  I looked up the poem Oh me! Oh Life!  I found that in the answer it says "That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse". The paper Ms. Stariha gave us says "That the powerful play goes on and you will contribute a verse". Will and may two way different things.  It changes the meaning.  You "will" makes it so that no matter what it is going to happen, while "may" means that you have the choice.  This makes me want to change everything in my essay for the third time. haha. I thought really hard about rewriting it.  But in the end, I decided to stick with what the sheet said that Ms. Stariha gave us and leave my essay alone. I just thought I would point this out to all of you(:

Progress of a pathetic paper

first paragraph out of the way! Its looking good so far. yes, I said good. what... is that a bad thing? Oh well, how ever long it takes!!

10:45 PM halfway through the second....

11:45 PM Last paragraph to go, fading fast...

Help! I Can't Conclude!

Please! Everybody help me discover how to write a conclusion! I have written for how many years and still struggle to bring it all together! Any hints? Tips? Ideas? I'm begging you all! The last thing my paper needs is a lame end!

P.S.
Ya'll have let me down... I'm blogging two blogs in a row.

O Suck! O Essay!

O Suck! O Essay!... the pain of you recurring;
The endless objects of laziness- of bitter thoughts and phrases
Of me forever blaming myself, (For who more lazy than I, and who more bitter?)
Of a paper that never is written on- the pen untouched- of the procrastinating ever renew'd
Of the poor intros and conclusions- the uncooperative words in my head
Of the empty and piercing page- with the ideas gone from me
The question, O suck! so sad, recurring-- what good amid these, O suck, O essay?

Answer

That you choose- that essay exists, and class;
That the inevitable Monday will come and you will need to contribute a page
