Respect my authority

Sometimes my mom doesn't really care how I am. I mean like ya she thinks I'm pretty weird but she just wants me to be happy. I like being happy all the time I hate when people are all sad and quite.

My Aeries

I got an A-/B+. I honestly thought I was going to get a worse grade because I didn't even study. I think I received that grade because I actually tried and I tried adding different stuff from the stories so I could explain everything better. For the first grading period I feel like I earned at least a B because I actually do most of my work.

Literature Analysis #1: to be continued...

1. So far in the novel Marked by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast, A girl named Zoey is a normal human until one day she is in school and she feels really sick. She noticed a guy standing by her locker the guy started telling her that she wasn't actually sick. He said that she was becoming a fledgling (a human that's in the process of becoming a vampyre) She then gets marked and she has to hide from everyone else because she had a symbol in between her eyebrows. the symbol represents the she's a fledgling.

For the rest of the questions I haven't actually read enough to actually answer them but hey at least I have something.
