I believe in the phrase you don't pass or fail at being a person. The things I would say that would make you a person is for one being human. Some people would also say just because you are human, doesn't make you a person. It's how you are truly inside and out. A person is a mental being/ self- conscious mental being. A person has the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. When another person disrespects and discourages another, that makes a person feel less of themselves just because they aren't like that person. People bully people to make themselves feel like they have power to do anything. Bullies want to be in charge and etc. It's like anyone can call out someone else but my question is, "What are you?" No one should have the right to disrespect anyone without looking at themselves first. You are who you were meant to be and that is yourself and no one else.

The triple moon is a Goddess symbol that represents the Maiden, Mother, and Crone.  The Maiden represents enchantment, inception, expansion, the female principle, and the promise of new beginnings.  The Mother represents ripeness, fertility, fulfillment, stability, and power.  The Crone represents wisdom, repose, and compassion. Lettie, Ginnie, and Old Mrs. Hempstock all compare to the triple goddesses because Old Mrs. Hempstock is shown as being able to use abilities the others do not have the skill or power to perform. Ginnie, known as the mother figure is described as sensible, practical, firm and stout. Lettie, known as the Maiden. 

When I was younger, my mom and dad got a divorce. Years later after their divorce, my dad would always bring another women and her kids around. I never really knew who they were or was comfortable being around them. So, I asked my dad who they were. He said, "This is your aunt and your cousins from Canada." I was shocked that it took him a minute to tell me that. Days and days went by and every time I would visit my dads place, they were always there. In my head, I was thinking why they didn't have their own place to stay. Until I remembered when I was younger we would always have family come stay with us but that was only when my mom and dad were together at the time. So for a long time, I believed that they were my cousins and aunt. Until one day, I heard something I wish I hadn't. I heard my sister and "cousins" talking about my dad and their mom. Seems to me that they all knew that my dad had a thing with their mom for a while now. But with me being the ...

The fairy tale I will be writing about is called Enchanted. This story begins with a princess named Giselle and a prince named Edward, happily together in their own cartoon dimension. Until one day, the evil step mother of Edward, tricked the princess and pushed her into a well. His step mother didn't want them together, so she sent Giselle to New York City. Giselle wasn't familiar with the area until she met a man named Robert and his daughter. Edward then noticed that Giselle was missing, so he went to go find her in New York. Moral of the story is that Edward was seeing a woman named Nancy, when he met Giselle. He decided to help her get around the city to find a place to stay until he let her stay at his apartment. Robert's daughter began to get comfortable with Giselle because she had special powers like making animals come and sing with her. When Edward finally came to New York, he never stopped finding his soon to be wife. As we fast forward towards the end, Robert h...

According to Hjortshoj, a predatory reader is a reader that reads from the top of the food chain. For example, you should be able to read as you always write. Stay on top of your reading texts and don't let your reasons become secondary reasons to the authors writing. Some predator reading strategies are understanding a particular thing and being able to know how to format it. Five categories of the writing process that Hjortshoj explains are pre-writing or planning, composing, revising or rewriting, editing or proofreading and release. It is acceptable to complete writing in one draft when you know what you want to say, the task is simple, and the stakes and standards for the product are low. The costs to the one draft and done model are the disadvantages of trying to finish everything in one draft result from the loss of flexibility in the writing process, not from the method itself.
