"Reflection" by Christina Aguilera

I picked "Reflection" because it describes how Dimmesdale is feeling. Dimmesdale wants to tell the truth about his dark secret because its a heavy burden on his heart and started to effect his health " About this period, however, the health of Mr. Dimmesdale had edviently begun to fail.". Christina said in the song, "Now I see If I wear a mask I can fool the world But I cannot fool my heart." this relates to Dimmesdale is forced to keep it in to please the towns people, " The young divine, whose scholar like little less than heavenly ordained apostle, destined, should he live and labor for the ordinary term of life, to do as great deeds, for the now feeble New England Church, as early Fathers had acheived for the infancy of the Christiain faith.  From this quote you can gather that the towns people thinks very highly of Dimmesdale and exspects him to do great thing.
 "Look at me You may think you see who I really am but you'll never know me", Dimmesdale knew that the people thought that he wasn't who they thought he was, and him and Hester were really the only ones that really knew about the dark truth. "When will my reflection show Who I am inside?" Dimmesdale doesn't know when the time will come when he tells the truth, he wants to break free, but doesn't want his want of freedom to bethe down fall of him. "I cannot fool my heart", Dimmesdale heart is screaming out to tell the truth and the situation is constantly on his concious.  Overall the song "Reflection" message is a cry out to be the real person you are and stop acting like a person you are not; the message is Dimmesdale current situation.

John Winthrop

The Puritans believed that God was number one and should be honored. They believed that they were the ones to be and everyone was watching and imitating them.

TSL 9-11

The most distrubing part, to me, was in chapter 9. Chillingworth wanted to know everything about Dimmesdale; his toughts, feelings, and action. Chillingworth was similar to a stalker, someone that watches your every move. Chillingworth wanted to know Dimmesdale so bad that he wanted his soul.

1st Day of School

As I step out the door of my house the bright morning sun welcomed my presence. I stopped by and picked up my friend and took off at jet speed to school. As we walked through the entrance, students greeted us as if we were celebrities. After my thrid period it seemed that this school year was going to be easy as pie, but my last period quickly changed it into a dreaded nightmare.

A Sensory Experience

1. Touch: The object I touch reminded me of the arm of my chair at home that I lay on after a long day of practice every day.

2. Taste: This object I ate reminded me of Easter egg hunting when I was young.

3. Sound: This sound reminded me of the storm we had a few days ago. It was a thunderstorm and during the storm the rain was very heavy.

4. Smell: This scent reminded me of the candles my church used to sell for fundraisers; the candles all had different scent.

5. Sight: This image reminds me of when I hid in the bushes when we was trying to sneak up on one of my friends late at night over the summer break.

   

      

Bad Habit

My bad habit is biting my nails. Whenever I'm nervous and anxious I'll bite my nails. Tests and Football games are two of the main things that will send my habit into over drive.

In one of my classes at Scotland Highschool, Home of Scotland County's Fighting Scots, my teacher is Ms. O'Donnell, the MST AP History teacher, that wore a red rose, that was postioned on the side of her head, in her hair that which she got from Myrtle Beach, one of the most popular beaches in North Carolina, as she help Mr. English talk about Aruthur Dimmesdale, the character in the Scarlet Letter I have to make a report on, in class on Friday.

1) Aruthur Dimmesdale, a young highly respected minister, is the character in the Scarlet Letter I have to make a report on.

2) Ms. O'Donnel, the MST AP History teacher at Scotland, was shopping at the mall Saturday.

3) Scotland Highschool, the school that my mother, aunts, and sister went to, just got a upgrade.

4) Myrtle Beach, the beach I visit every summer, just got a new addition to the strip.

5) I gave one of my best friends a red rose, a flower that symbolisms love, respect, and friendship, for Valentine's Day.

Worst Driving

The worst driving experience was the racing go carts at carowinds. My friends and I were racing the carts and my friends kept cutting in front of me. I told them to stay to one side, but they refused to listen. This time I didn't slow down when they cut in front, and my cart hit the back of theirs. They started spinnning in the middle of the road and their cart stopped working .

My greatest challege so far this year is this AP class. The only tips I have for myself is don't doubt and keep trying. Some things that can make this class better is not giving work on top of class, and help more with more with reviewing before a test.

Letter A

I think the letter A represents Adulture. The Bostonian view this letter as a unclean sign, saying that she went against God and her husband. Hester views this symbol as a great burden because now she is considered an outcast and viewed as a example of evil. Baby Pearl view the letter as a work of beauty,she loves playing and grabing it.

Suppression - is gathering information from a specific source
Repression - Hold back from

Connotation - Giving a idea
Detatonation - Specifically pointing out something

Supress: Right now I'm surpressing that I won't be able to maintain my good GPA because of this class. After the first day the doubt began to develop because of the overview my teachers gave me. What made me really surpess this class is the first quiz in English that i didn't do good on.

Dear Dairy

I'm still trying to get adjusted to this class, school time, and football practice. Sometimes it feel like its not enough time in the day to get everything done. I'm hoping can still get all my work done and get an A in this class. AP History and English is really the only class I'm really worried about.

Fanciful

It was the 11th day of November, 1993. The clock had just struck 12:00 am and the night sky began to turn a dark gray. This was the birth day of the young man Ernie Robinson. Since his birth the elders of the town could foresee that his future would be golden by the spark in his young eyes. Years passed and the young Ernie began grew into a musclar, smart, and began a well known man around the town. The day was coming when his life would change forever, the day when he will discover his true destiny.

nature vs nurture

I believe in that we have knowledge of sin when we are born because no one has to teach us how to do wrong or be bad.

Hawthorne's inspriration

Nathaniel Hawthorne inspriration for writting this novel was his life at the time. At this point in his life, Nathaniel was going through his darkest hours.

Christopher Columbus

What I remember about Chirstopher Columbus was that he discover new land "America" and I remember he was a european explorer.

8/9/2010 Better Reader

The two reading tips that I got from this article were rereading and slow down. Rereading can benefit a reader by helping get a better understanding of the text. The pace at which you read can help by giving a reader a better chance of remembering what was read and important pieces of text.
