The first two weeks of my junior year have been both busy and productive! In the first week, I easily found my homeroom and also helped my little sister find hers as well. With her being a freshman this year, I had worries dealing with her fitting in. To my relief she seamlessly blended in and even found a couple of friends. When the instructional day began, I was met with many demanding AP classes that motivated me to pass with all A's. I also noticed that my friends were in a number of my classes including my lunch wave. I found this especially pleasing, knowing that I can easily partner up with a study partner when most necessary. In addition to in-school activities, I also managed to schedule out my study time despite having band practice on a daily basis. This is a very productive step in the right direction seeing that in order to pass AP classes I must obtain a high level of responsibility and self-sufficiency. My first two weeks were a great start to an even greater year!

Confusion is especially more likely to happen because too many students are all talking at once. Ra...

The novel told stories of love and loss and how different people cope with the aftermath. The point of view constantly shifts and is sometimes incoherent. The novel is even so witty as to have been out of order just as Kien's attempt at a novel had been. This book was a controversial, however effective portrayal of the Vietnam War. It had exceeded beyond my initial expectations as a historical novel and as a work of fiction entirely.        My initial reaction to such a grim book was pure horror. There were many unpleasant scenes within the book that had been hard to read. However, although these events were indeed horrific and graphic, they were realistic and add substance to the book. These are hard truths about the war that are taken into account in the book and not censored in ...
