thesis statements

-John Procter, Elizabeth Procter, and Abigail all have there reputation misrepresented in some way. Each one was being accused of witchcraft or lies to protect ones name.

-Reverend Parris, John Proctor, and Rebecca Nurse were the epitome of Salem's morals during the witchcraft trials. Although they all honored their reputation, they each had a different way of upholding their reputation

-The importance of one's reputation was strongly represented throughout the story to such an extent of doing what they believe

is best in order to keep their good name.

All three of these thesis statements are very strong. They get straight to the point. I can improve my thesis statement by not making it so plain.

vocab review

The first day of school led to the last day of three kids lives. Yaquiline, the (lothario), Yessica, the (maverick), and Yanessa, the (nemesis) of Yaquiline. On that day, they expirienced a (philippic) between each other in english class. It started fine, they all sat down in class while Mr. Schreiber introduced himself and the class. They figured out he was a (jingoist), because he was wearing a red, white, and blue tuxedo. But after seeing that, they realized who was amongst them. . . the infamous “Y Ladies.”
Yaqualine, and Yanessa, hated each other because Yaqualine took a bite of Yanessa’s Spicy Chicken Sandwhich, which led to Yanessa calling Yaqualin (tawdry). Yaqualine, or “Yaquie”, stated that as a (philanderer), she slept with Yanessa’s boyfriend. Yanessa’s previous view of as a (quixotic) young girl, immedietly went away.
One day Yessica came to school and yelled at Yanessa and Yaqualine using (solecism), Yessica couldn’t say anything because she felt (saturnine) beacause of all those spicy chicken burgers that she ate. Yaqualine didnt really care because she was a (procrustean), she was tired of arguing. So the rivalry between Yanessa and Yaqualine came to an end. Many people say it was a (Pyrrhic) victory, because even after the arguement, they still were not friends.
But the wierd part of the story is, why didn’t Yessica get involved? She has the (spoonerism) of words that confuses the Y Ladies to death. But recently she found the Y Ladies (protean) and (unbearable). She could have won this arguement and be the number one Y lady and live in (sybarite) for the rest of her life!!

Situation I would die for.

If my little brother was about to die and I could be the one to die instead of him, I would. He's only 7 and hasn't gotten a chance to really live life yet. I'm young but I've experienced more then him. So yea, If a situation like that were to happen, I would die for it.

project

I really liked this group project. Our group worked really well together, and the outcome was better than I expected. Something we could have done differently was worked on it longer before the day off the performance, but it still was fun.

Rumor...

My friend "eddie"told me that "sally" had gone missing, and that it was on the news that morning. Sally was a girl that went to our school last year so i was like "woah i know this girl, this is crazy" At first I didn't believe him, but he said he was positive. It turned out to be another "sally" that i didn't know.. but she really did go to our school. They ended up finding her though.

I'm not sure if that's really a rumor, but that's the closest thing to it that I can think of right now aha.
