...“without you to hold I’ll be freezing”. As you will have known from my previous diary entries, I loved John Proctor. But, recently I’ve been yearning for him more than ever. Since he decided to reunite his affections for Elizabeth, I was driven into the cold because I had no-one to hold. Without John, I had no-one to live for. Further along in the song (and in entry 2), his fondness of his wife grew more and more, and his acknowledgement of me was wearing thin. I think Ed captured my feelings well when he expressed “Though I know you’ll never love me like you used to”. This song lyric also links in with entry 1 of my time in Salem. Lastly, this lyric from the song understood my perspective of John now, at the present time. “Open bottles of beer but never champagne”. I feel this quote relates to me because Ed is basically saying that by drinking beer instead of champagne, he is feeling quite low, cheap and perhaps unworthy of drinking such an expensive drink. I believe that the metaphor understands me because I think is saying that instead of playing it the safe, goody-goody way (champagne), I will play it the raw, disobeying way (beer). Overall, I believe that Ed completely gets me in his song Drunk. And I just can’t wait to see where the future of music will turn to. I wonder what type of music they’ll have in the year 2012… Lots of Love, Abigail Williams xx Dear Diary, I am writing this entry from the Salem General court where we are...

...spread throughout colonial New England; due to increase fears of outsiders and resentment of fellow townspeople which were fueled by the smallpox epidemic and fears of Native American attacks, as well as a rival with the community of Salem Town. In January of 1692, two girls by the name of Betty Williams and Abigail Williams began to have fits. These fits consisted of violent contortions and uncontrollable outbursts of screaming and yelling. William Griggs, a local doctor, diagnosed the girls with bewitchment. As time passed other girls- Ann Putnam Mercy Lewis, Elizabeth Hubbard, Mary Walcott,...

...I.) 5th of May The Year of Our Lord 1697 It has been exactly 10 years to this day since my parents, god rest their souls, were brutally murdered. I was only a child of 4 when I watched filthy savage Indians bash my poor parent’s heads in on their pillow next to mine. Although I was but a child I remember that day as if it were yesterday. I thought that maybe if I write down the events that happened that night I may feel a bit better so I decided to write them down in here. Father, Mother and I were on our way to go and visit Uncle Paris and Aunt Lilly. Mommy and daddy had some great news to share: they were going to have another baby. Honestly when I heard that I was going to be a big sister I was scared that my mommy and daddy wouldn't love me anymore. I wanted to tell them what I felt, but I thought that I would get into trouble and make my parents mad, and upset. So I tried my best to seam happy. On that day however I got really mad at mommy and daddy because they weren't paying attention to me; all they did was talk about the baby. The pent up anger I felt toward the baby just came out. I started to yell and say what I really felt. I told them that I hated the baby: that it would ruin everything. After my tantrum and after I realized what I had said I broke down in tears. Father then came up to me, picked me up and carried me over to my mother. They were not mad at me like I thought they would be. They just held me and whispered calming words in my ear. Once I had calmed...

...Luis Rodriguez Historical Fiction HIST 1301-2H2 For my 14th birthday my grandmother gave me a diary. I never used it until now. It was just pieces of strings that connected sheets of paper together. It was nothing special or anything that looked fancy. She wanted me to practice my writing since it “imitated a peasant’s work”. How considerate of her to be so kind about helping me with something so utterly useless to me. It was a miracle for her to even give me anything since she is so blinded by all the money she has. She calls “part of the family”, which is a lie since it’s a miracle if I even receive dinner most of the time. My grandmother spent most of the money on expensive luxuries like, clothes, wines, and furniture. I hated my life here in France. Since I had no support in any kind in this land I decided to smuggle myself out of this home. I have many reasons to leave this place, let’s start from the beginning. I, Antoinette Cherubin, was born in February 29, 1650. My mother, Liliane Cherubin, died when she was giving birth to me. Nobody knew what killer her. She was a very slender woman and my grandmother always told me that slender women like her weren’t meant to have babies. My Father, Alexandre Cherubin, I never got too met. He went off to fight for France in the war versus the Spanish a few years before I was born. Nobody knows if he died in battle or went somewhere to live another life away from us. My grandmother (my mom’s mom) never met Alexandre. I never talked...

Whenever you make a comparison in sentence, you have to make sure the things you compare are , in fact, comparable. Than ①主语比较 1.

...MEG CABOT Pants on Fire One “Oh my God, what’s she doing here?” my best friend, Sidney van der Hoff, was asking, as I came up to the corner booth to hand out menus. Sidney wasn’t talking about me. She was glaring at someone at another table. But I couldn’t be bothered to look and see who Sidney was talking about, since my boyfriend, Seth, was sitting next to her, smiling up at me…that smile that’s been making girls’ insides melt since about the fifth grade, when we all started noticing Seth’s even white teeth and highly kissable lips. It still freaks me out that out of all the girls in school, I’m the one he picked to kiss with those lips. “Hey, babe,” Seth said to me, blinking his long, sexy eyelashes—the ones that I overheard my mom telling Sidney’s mom over the phone are totally wasted on a guy. He snaked an arm around my waist and gave me a squeeze. “Hi,” I said, a little breathlessly. Not just because of the squeeze, but because I had a twelve-top (Mrs. Hogarth’s ninety-seventh birthday party) that was running me ragged, refilling their iced tea glasses and such, so I was panting a little anyway. “How was the movie?” “Lame,” Sidney answered for everyone. “You didn’t miss anything. Lindsay should stick with red; blond does nothing for her. Seriously, though. What’s Morgan Castle doing here?” Sidney used the menu I’d just given her to point at a table over in Shaniqua’s section. “I mean, she’s got some nerve.” I started to say...

...Notes for the Course: Religion and Ethics in our Modern Society, 2012 By Dr H Ndlovu Definition and Nature of Christian Ethics Ethics is derived from the Greek word “ethos” that is also comes from another word “ethika.” Ethika means norms, conventions, values, customs the society. Thus ethics is a discipline that examines one’s moral standards or the moral of a society. These are absorbed from family, church and friends. Why Study Ethics There are nine reasons why human beings have to study ethics. 1. Human beings are capable of reasoning from cause to effect with the understanding that everything done has effect. 2. Human beings are capable of making choices after comparing the alternatives, that is, internal and external. People have two cells namely: a. Real – what we have now b. Ideal – what we are aiming at 3. Human beings are self – conscious. This means we can study ourselves by being a subject and be the object at the same time. 4. Human beings are finite or limited not knowing what will happen from the next moment or next door. Thus, we must have principles to apply when situations comes. 5. Human life is an active dynamic phenomenon – We do something as if we do nothing. 6. People also can be taught to be good (Isaiah 1 :18) 7. Human beings are capable of filing an obligation 8. Human beings are also capable of understanding what moral terms like freedom, dignity and so on affects other people. 9. Finally, human beings need to survive. Human civilization...

...___________________________ LIVING HISTORY Hillary Rodham Clinton Simon & Schuster New York • London • Toronto • Sydney • Singapore To my parents, my husband, my daughter and all the good souls around the world whose inspiration, prayers, support and love blessed my heart and sustained me in the years of living history. AUTHOR’S NOTE In 1959, I wrote my autobiography for an assignment in sixth grade. In twenty-nine pages, most half-filled with earnest scrawl, I described my parents, brothers, pets, house, hobbies, school, sports and plans for the future. Forty-two years later, I began writing another memoir, this one about the eight years I spent in the White House living history with Bill Clinton. I quickly realized that I couldn’t explain my life as First Lady without going back to the beginning―how I became the woman I was that first day I walked into the White House on January 20, 1993, to take on a new role and experiences that would test and transform me in unexpected ways. By the time I crossed the threshold of the White House, I had been shaped by my family upbringing, education, religious faith and all that I had learned before―as the daughter of a staunch conservative father and a more liberal mother, a student activist, an advocate for children, a lawyer, Bill’s wife and Chelsea’s mom. For each chapter, there were more ideas I wanted to discuss than space allowed; more people to include than could be named; more places visited than could be described...
