The writing test was a piece of cake. The topic was if you could go back in time what time period would you go to. I altered it a little and kind of made it my own. My plan was to go back in time to 9/11 and stop the terrorist from getting on the plane. I was the superhero to change the world. I was going to prevent that incident from happening in the first place. I'm not quite sure if it was supposed to be a persuasive essay either, but that's kind of how I wrote it. I was trying to convince the scientist that this would be a great reason to go back in time and use the machine to our advantage. It killed billions of people and ruined lives of the people who had to witness it, or watch it on television. New York City's trademark was also destroyed along with the rest of the city. I was quite pleased with my work. I felt like it was original and I wanted mine to be a different kind of read.

my name is alli lane
i've never been on a train
i'm far from being snobby
making people smile is my hobby
i love to dance, it is my passion
i am never in a orderly fashion
stubborn is my middle name
around my friends i am never tame
i can't stand change, though its bound to occur
when it comes to eating i'm bound to conquer
i'll never let you down, you can trust me
my favorite drink is iced sweet tea
i love the lord with all my heart
i'm a daddy's girl and we'll never part
i'm caring and the giving type
i hate to see people live in strife
i barely sleep
i may be sweet but i'm not weak
i want to be a lawyer
i love the show law and order

For this Academic Blog I thought I might compare the two main characters in the epic peoms Beowulf and Canterbury Tales, Beowulf and the Knight. The Knight seems to be held at a very high stature which seems to be even higher than Beowulf. The Knight was looked at highly because he was good and ethical. Victory is the sight of any warrior and that is where the two characters are different. Beowulf fights only to kill. He is arrogant, boastful and loves the attention he gets from hearing people talk about his greatness. While the knight strays away from that attention, he does not care for that, all he cares for is doing the right thing for his people and he is humble. It seems like the code of chivarly is just different in these two epic poems because there is a different idea on right and wrong.

Its been an quite an eventful week. My friend Mikayla and I have been to Subway like erriday. We made friends with Raaj, he works there. He's cool guy. I don't know if thats his real name but i told Mikayla that we should call him that. He knows exactly what we want to order everytime we walk in. Does anyone know what a BMT is? Its some type of sandwich, and no it doesnt have bacon, mayonaise, or tomato. We started two new dances this week. One is to Imagine by Jack Johnson and the other is to some song that I can't remember the name of but we are tapping on a bench so its really fun. One week down and one more week to go before i get my braces offfff! I can't wait. I've had them for like 4 years of my life. It's going to be wonderfulll! My new favorite tv show is tosh.0, it makes me laugh.. a lot. stay gucci! (mikayla)

The only difference that I see between Beowulf and Grendel is self control. They both have an extreme amount of power and the capability to be great heroes. They just chose different paths. Grendel used his powers for evil, while Beowulf used his for the greater good. In Beowulf Grendel is portrayed as being completely animalistic. When I read the story Grendel my perception was altered. He is actually quite an intelligent creature full of thought that he wishes to express. He has so much of that built up inside that sometimes he may act irrational and express his emotion by destroying people. Beowulf uses that strength and intelligence to help other people. It’s just a difference in perception between the two charcters. Grendel believes that humans are the scum of the earth. The humans were always calling him the descendant of Cain. It was like he had no choice but to be what they expected of him. Beowulf was expected to live up to his father’s standards. So of course he had to do that and of course he was adored for it just as his father was before him. It’s the caste system once you’re in it you really can’t get out.
