             I finally finished writing my essay. It took awhile. One essay down three more to go. I wonder what the next essay is going to be. I didn't realize how much I could relate to the character in the story until I started writing. I felt really sorry for the character. I turned in my rough draft. Sweeney my English professor told us he will look over the rough drafts and give them back to us with changes. 
             English class is going well. Better than last semester. At least I have my best friend Tanya with me in class. Last semester was hard for me because I had to write three argumentative  essays in mla format. My final grade was an B.  I was really surprised because I thought I had failed. I would of been done taking English but the degree I want I had to take English 2. I don't know about you but I would of taking a butt beaten than another English class. I don't like English. It's not the professor. I really like Sweeney. Math is my subject.

             The only thing I have to before this semester ends is do an activity outside of class. I still have a couple of months. I'll figure it out.

         I finally figured out how to write my character analysis essay. The rough drafted is due Monday, Sept.23. The story I picked is "The Yellow Wallpaper" because the character in the story felt trapped within herself. Battling her own demons to be set free. I'm a mother of three, a wife, a full time job and a part time student. I juggle a lot of stuff. I barely have time to myself. I feel like my body is being pulled every which way. Just like the character in the story. But the difference between me and the character is I haven't snapped yet. I felt really bad for the character at the end of the story because you don't know what happens to her when she locks herself in the room. Her husband tries to get her out but she don't want to come out. I want to believe she battle her own demons because back in the day people didn't understand what was going on with people. They just called them crazy and they really won't crazy.

          The rest of the stories we read I couldn't relate to. A lot of stories I didn't understand. I mean I read them. I just couldn't comprehend them. We read seven stories so far.

      Hello everyone. It's time to start blogging again for English class. We have to post ten blogs and write four essays. The essays have to be 500 words which that's a plus because last semester the essays had to be 1500. Since this English class is intro to literature our essays have to be a character analysis. Which means the short stories we read you should be able to relate to one character and write about how you relate to the character. I've read four short stories so far and the only story I can somewhat relate to is called The Yellow Wallpaper. Basically their was a women and a husband who spent time in a summer home. The women believed that the house was haunted by a women that was trapped in the wallpaper in the nursery. Which in reality she was going through a lot of problems her self  and used the wallpaper as an excuse not realizing she could of being the one in the wallpaper because when living in this summer home she really couldn't go out and do anything. She felt trapped in her own life. At the end of the story she locks herself in the nursery trying to help another women escape from the wallpaper. You never find out what happens next. I don't know if she killed herself or helped herself. I understand where she is coming from to a point because sometimes I feel trapped and all I want to do is escape for awhile. Not all the time. Everyone gets overwhelmed from time to time. It's all depends how you handle the situation. Does anyone feel like that sometimes?
