Jon+Christie

Howdy! My name is Jon Christie and I am a senior at Mt. Pleasant High School. Yep, a senior, which means that I've probably had my fair share of English classes. In fact, I have successfully completed Honors English 9, honors English 10, and Honors English 11. Throughout these past three years, I've been able to identify what I like in an English class as well as what I can't stand. The one thing that I enjoyed the most is SSR time. It doesn't necessarily have to be all hour, but I enjoy any amount of time aware from the boredom of the traditional books that were written well before my lifetime. I suppose this brings me to what I dislike about my past English classes. Well, in just a sentence, I suppose I could say that I don't like being forced to read books that are barely written in English, and then commanded to find all of the underlying themes, most of which I don't think actually exist. Even the dark days in which I am forced to identify such things are brightened by the words "creative writing" Writing creatively is my favorite part of writing, mostly because if gives me an opportunity to get away from the traditional persuasive essay. Yep, that's the thing I don't like about writing. I've always disliked, and had difficulty with, writing the conventional essay.

Aleah who i s like nobody else and asks for more ways that she can help who is a young puppies yelp who is the icing on a cake whose always as good as steak is always the voice of reason who tells of beauty in any season who tells this as the leaves fall and flowers wilt whose all becomes simply silt who used to speak as frequently as a rock is forever rockin around the clock doesn't ever hurt like William Wallace's sword is one who watches Braveheart, very bored who blends with the crowd by any means is pulling heartstrings at the seams who needs confidence is compassionate asking what might happen who knows our lives will not slacken
