19th blog

          Last week in English class we watched a movie called "Seven". It's about the seven deadly sins. The seven deadly sins are greed, lust, gluttony, sloth, wrath, envy and pride. Brad Pitt and Morgan Freedom were the two main characters. They were detectives. It was a really good movie. But I wasn't expecting the ending. The movie took three class periods to watch which it was all week. Hey it's better than doing class work. When the movie was over we got into groups and made discussion questions. Each group had to come up with atleast three questions. We had four groups and each group asked their questions. It took the whole class period. For once it would be nice not to count before we get into groups.


          So after watching the movie Mr. Sweeney hands us a essay paper. It's our last essay. Atleast it's only 700 words and it's due next week. We have to write about the movie. I'm doing a comparison between the detective styles of Somerset (Morgan Freedom) and Mills (Brad Pitt). We have to have one outside source. I don't think it would be to hard to write. We also have to write 10 blogs. I'm on my 9th blog. I'm almost done blogging. The semester is almost over.

blog 18

          I just finished and turn in my 3rd essay for English. Sweeney has my other essay. It would be nice to get it back so I can revise it and type it because I need it for my portfolio at the end of the semester. I would like to see what comments he made about my essay. I only have one more essay to do. The semester is almost over. I'm so glad. This semester was long and stressful. My other subject I'm taking is math and it makes my brain hurt. English is not that bad. But writing those essays is a killer. I'm so glad I don't need to take another English or Math ever again. All that I've been taken in college is Math and English.It's time to move on.

          I haven't been to English class last week because I was sick. Change of weather I guess. I don't like winter. It's to cold. The snow is okay.

          I just found out that we have to read "Seven" in English class. It's 171 pages long. Who has time to read it after class and you can't print the pages. What was Sweeney thinking? I never seen or read "Seven" or I'll shall see.
