Witchcraft

Would I really of lived or died? The question of life and death on the line with only one word to say? My experience after reading and answering to this story gave me chills up my whole body. Why did I die when I answered honestly and had nothing to hide? Or would I of lived if I lied but confessed? There are so many question in an experience like this but after reading this passage it makes me wonder how I would of reacted if I was really there in that time period. I wonder how people reacted when asked if they were a witch or not. Did they now that if they said the wrong answer that they would die? This passage not only frightens me but it is also sad if you take time and think about it. If a family has kids and both the mother and father die from this situation what happends to the kids? When I first started out reading the passage I did'nt really understand it completely and I was kinda lost but the more I read about it the more I got into it. I did'nt really know what to expect 200 to happen next. But when the question was asked towards me "Are you a witch" my response was "No". Then they replied "Just confess" and they keep on going trying to get you to say that you are but I never did. I didnt know that while doing this my life was on the line and I thought that by telling the truth and not lying I wouldnt be harmed but actually taken care of or i would be put in some differnet type of place than the ones who did confess and say that they were witches, not lose my life! Then I wondered... what would of happened if I would of responded "Yes", would I still be alive, where would I be, and what would of happened to me? This was a very unsual but unique pasage to me and I learned that even when you do tell the turth the ending is not always what is seems that it should be and that also life is not always fair.

11 Grade English

11th grade english.... Wow! Eleventh grade english has been alot different or atleast harder than my previous years. The first quater is just now ending and I have learned alot of different things. We have recently learned about combining sentences and using commas to help us with our writting and in the process of doing this we wrote a essay about ourselves. We have also had to read 6 books. Out of 6 books we had lit circles on 2 of them. For our lit circles we learned how to write connictions and figure out what we thought the theme of the book was. We also have a new set of vocabulary words each week and we are tested over them. We are not in english everyday we are at school so i feel that in a short amount of time I have crammed alot of things in. But in the long run I feel that what I am learning will only help me later.

Cut

I just recently got done reading Cut. I thought that is was a pretty good book up until the end. All throughout the book situations were occurring that reminded me of people’s everyday lives. Sometimes other people don’t realize how good they have it because they don’t take the time to stop and think. Every ones lives are different, the surrounding people, the community and the situations that they face. Cut was about a young group of teenage girls that lived their everyday life in a ward where they had to be followed and their every move was monitored. If I was them I would feel like a little kid again. In our world today there are kids that are faced with the same problems. While reading this book I couldn’t help but to think of the situations that I know people face. These girls would make themselves vomit, cut their wrist, and just put themselves down. So next time when you are taking advantage of something just stop and think that other people are faced with bigger and more serious problems.
