Bigger Batch

It's the end of the year, but I will save you all the "end-of-the-year" rant. All my seniors have senior-itis, state tests are coming, blah blah blah... As always, these are from student work and my comments are in ( ).

- Georgiana was a woman of thirty who was not the most attractive woman before she got married. (And after? She became a fox!)

- Losing her beliefs of normal in her life really didn't settle well. (Existential nausea.)

- Through "The Unknown Citizen" the author portrays the use of imagery.

- The speaker is minding his own businesses. (He owns several, I guess.)

- In boys lacrosse a player is alloyed to hit another player with his stick.

- When you examine the lyrics of songs they give meaning and some feelings. 

- When it comes to opportunity people can learn from it when come to an education. (Sounds logical.)

- Guys are easier to please as well as not being very picky. (From the Department of Redundancy Department.)

- Every security guard has specific tasks; theft, substance abuse, employee theft, and white collar crimes. (That can't be right.)

- Wrestling can be easy if not difficult to some people.

- ...the images provoke emotion and meaning into the reader.

- Carving enables you to slow down as you gown a hill.

- A couple weeks after my injury I became depressed and just mopped around for months. (Floors must have been clean.)

- There are two men in... arm to arm combat.

- War is not all it's cracked out to be.

- Ever sense today's technology...

- The use of satire explains the love the characters felt for each other and how all there lies played a part in the situations. (This was the thesis...)

- Love is a feeling that can be felt by many throughout their life and is greatly published seriously, and with a comical side such as this book.

- (The poor) are too busy worrying about how to make end's meat. (Yes, but have you ever had really good end's meat? Succulent.)

Should be at least one more post before summer, or at least what we call summer here in New York, which starts about three months after everyone else is out of school. I leave you with this: a student who was in the In-School Suspension room (where I spend one period a day) asked about the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, "Is Scout a girl?" So, you didn't read that one. In an ironic twist he was completing a project on the website "fakebook," which allows students to create fake social media sites for literary characters. Oh technology, oh humanity.
