Last Week!

Well this week went by really quick. I finished my second book and we got to write our second essay, which I enjoyed writing. The ending of the book was really good I really liked in it in general. I got to find more answers to my question which is what is life like as an autistic person? I feel that this book was done to answer my question and I'm happy I got to find this book and read it. I would like to know more about Autistic people, so if you guys know anything about it please let me know. Something else about English class is that we are working on a project from the play we just read, "Twelfth Night." I'm still lost about whose group I'm going to be in, but I would like to work on what Marisol is doing. I don't know how our class final product will be like, but I have a feeling it will be great. Now I have a spring break to look forward too. I think we all deserve this break because we have been working really hard in every class. We are almost going to be done, so we can hold on a little bit more. People get a lot of rest before we have to come back again:)

Finished Twelfth Night

We finished "Twelfth Night" and I loved the ending. I actually had a feeling it was going to end like a fairy tale where everything goes to its place, and they live happily ever after. Then we got to watch the movie version the old but not too old one and the modern one with Amanda Bynes. The old one was really good I liked it and the modern one was really funny I couldn't stop laughing. So now we have to come out with some plays based on "Twelfth Night." I believe that we have some good actors and the plays or whatever my classmates come up with will be really good. Another thing I started doing this weekend was reading my second book. My second book is, "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time," by Mark Haddon. The book is about an autistic boy named Christopher and he was blamed of killing of his neighbor's dog, but he didn't. But he will like to find out who killed him. While he's explaining his investigation he talks about himself and how is it like to live with autism, which is my question. I'm really enjoying and the book and learning more about autistic people.

Fun Week:)

What did I do this week? Well we have continue to read Twelfth Night. I like the scene in where Viola and Orsino where discussing about who is more into love guys or girls. We got to discuss the same question in class but it ended up in an argument because people disagree on people's opinions. Orsino believes that men change their mind a lot which I belief it's true and I know that through personal experience. I like to hear what my classmates have to say about the quick writes but not when it gets to arguing. Another cool thing we got to talk about pranks, I couldn’t stop laughing. There were some really good prank stories. I tricked my sister once. She had a $5 bill and I had $1 bill and I lied to her and told her that the dollar bill was more than the 5 dollars one and I came up with $5 dollars lol. Anyways, I have not been able to get my second book, which is "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time." They told me it was a short read so that's a good thing. I can't wait to read it though because I have heard that it's a good book.
