Katie


I think Katie writes very descriptively, especially about things she is interested in.
I commented: "You definitely described this passage as beautifully as it was written. I think that if Fitzgerald were to read your thoughts on this passage, that he would think you got everything from it that you were supposed to. You really understood the meaning behind it, you captured the importance. Very nice work!" On her Gatsby piece. I think it was beautifully written and well described. I think she is very passionate about this book and it shows through her writing. I can tell that she has really thought about this book, the characters, the plot, and how Fitzgerald wrote it. I think she did a truly wonderful job on her Memorable Passage story.


I really like Katie's Inspirational Quote that says "If you judge people, you have no chance to love them" by Mother Theresa. I think this quote is important and I think that I could really learn from it. I know that I can be quick to judge by first impressions and by appearances. It is definitely one of my many flaws that I need to work on, in order to better myself. Seeing as how I am judgmental at times, I have never thought about judging people in this way, and it has completely changed my perspective. I commented "Hi Katie! I loves the quote by Mother Theresa, about judging people. I think that if everyone thought like this then the world would be a better place with nicer people in it. I like to think that maybe manners and complements will be the next new trend. Fingers crossed. Thank you for sharing." on this piece.

I really liked the idea of enough food in the world for everyone to eat, I agree. I also would agree with you about not having grief anymore. But also I think that without it, we wouldn't appreciate people and things as much as we should. Lastly, I think people feeling safe and free is a very nice idea as well. It is very easy to feel trapped in a p;ace or time or even a life. It is also easy to feel unsafe in situations or in the world in general. I would definitely vote for you for president :)




Taylor M (I accidentally thought she was in my group, instead of Taylor D)
'Breaker of Chains'
"I enjoyed every second of reading this piece. I too sometimes feel this way about certain people and things. I think you put a lot of emotion into this piece and it shows. I agree with Mrs. Fraser about the idea of outgrowing a life, very powerful. I think this was very beautifully written, Taylor."
And I forgot to add in my comment that I also really enjoyed her picture that she attached. I think it really captured the essence of the poem. I often get the feeling like I am outgrowing a time in my life or people. I think everything in your life passes through, even the good things and the bad things. I think people are only put into your life for certain periods of time and then you outgrow them, and I think that is what Taylor was trying to capture in this piece. I really loved it.


Mariah
Next, I commented "Hi Mariah! I really enjoyed your haiku about the monsters hiding with fear and evil, because when I think of monsters I think they do very similar things. Thank you so much for sharing!" On Mariah's haiku. I like that Mariah writes about darker elements, that most people avoid, like monsters and creatures. I am excited to read more of her work.
