Reply to cody's love letter

I can't love you because you are unfaithful. You don't love me enough to have me every day. Also, you place condiments on me as if I am not good enough for you alone. In fact yesterday I saw you eating a hamburger. If you truly loved me you wouldn't eat a hamburger. I wish you would die, because then you would not be able to hurt me the way you did when you ate that hamburger.

My love

Dear m-peg stream-clip,
I love and will always love forever, there is no free converting software like you. A computer without you as a program would be empty; as empty as a bookcase without books. My love for you is unimaginable and unexplainable. Knowing you has made my life better than I could have ever thought it to be. No other program can do what you can on a mac for free. You are the light of my darkness especially when I am finding sounds that I need. You are always there for me and you never leave my computer like adobe. I love, yes I love you o' so much and I can't convert videos and sounds without you.
With great love,
Nathan Reynolds

Macbeth, The Scottish play

I feel like "Macbeth" is a good play, of-course there are probably a lot different opinions and most of them probably contradict mine, but I think that Shakespeare's plays are great. His plays are pure genius and very creative works of art. "Macbeth" is probably one of his better plays, it is very out of the norm and bold for the time period, but all of Shakespeare's plays were that way. Also, I personally think it is a pretty straight forward play in terms of being able to understand it. Most people probably wouldn't agree with me on that, but compared to his harder plays like "Pericles", it is very easy to follow and understand.

All about Thomas A. Becket


Thomas a' Becket was born in London on December twenty first 1118. He was the archbishop of Canterbury from 1162 until he was martyred in 1170. Although his parents were not peasants and they actually had a great mark on the society, Thomas had a humble birth and in his earlier years he had associated with gentlefolk. Before studying in Paris he learned to read at Merton Abbey and when he first left school he was employed into secretarial work.In 1153 Becket was justice itinerant of three countries and seemingly chief organizer of the expedition to Toulouse. A problem that later caused his death was a feud with King Henry II who wanted more power to himself and less power to the church. Becket would not help him get that power and four of he king's knights killed Beckett.

Reflections on writing

I am not that great of a writer, but I try to do well when I write. As a freshmen I was a worse writer than I am now, but the problem was I thought that I was good. Sometimes writing can be tedious work especially if you are writing about something you don't care about. The less I care about a subject the worse I do on that particular writing assignment. I feel I have improved a lot in my writing since my ninth and tenth grade year because I am more aware in my writing and I have more experience. During my Sophomore year I got I barely got C's on my papers but now I am doing better. Surprisingly, Latin which is the foreign I take has helped me a lot in my writing because it taught me better writing and it taught me more about tenses and participles that I use in my writing. I still need quite a bit of improvement in my writing skills but I am doing much better than I was before.

My Hero

Even though my grandpa died during my fifth grade year I still think of him as my hero. My grandpa is the greatest man I knew and I still look up to him and his values. He was a faithful husband and a kind grandpa with a great outlook on life. My Grandpa lived in Minnesota so it was really awesome when we went to visit him once a year. When he died, that was the saddest day of my life, he was in perfect condition before that one moment which made my mom cry a lot. He died shoveling his driveway and his neighbor's driveway before church. Everyone my grandpa knew, loved and respected him because of his kindness and good values. I wish I were more like him as I strive to be everyday. My only regrets about my grandpa is that my sister never got to know him.
