symbolism

    Every other day she had cross country practice. She put other old beat up running shoes and started jogging on the track. Every time she would go out for a run she'd think about everything that has to be done like schoolwork, family time, chores, etc. She started thinking her life was pretty much trash with all this stress put on her.

   After while she bought herself a new pair of shoes and went for a run. She felt better and knew everything was going to be alright. She felt relieved. She felt alive. Her practice went better than most of them had been lately because she realized she shouldn't worry all the time and she should be happy.


The symbolic object is her old beat up shoes that make her upset and then her new ones that clear everything up for her.

   The few days we have had off from school have been very fun for my sister and I. On MLK day my sister was at her friends birthday party so I had the house to myself and I played Mario Kart until 2 AM.

Every step I took on the stairs my legs felt like they were breaking like thin ice. I am currently sitting in a hot tub writing this because I am still freezing!

This was the most unrealistic story which set a weird mood on it.    This story had a dark and gloomy setting. It was a kind of scary atmosphere with an old angel man. This was also during the winter season. The crowd that the angel had attracted seemed excited and curious. This was a really depressing story.

research update

research question: Why was feudalism a successful system of governance and social hierarchy in the Middle Ages?   Feudalism is what changed economy around the world. It's like a bigger version of trading, but different. I wanted to study it during the Middle Ages because that's when it came about. I think feudalism is very interesting because a person could have land by only paying with their loyalty and service which is just very different.     I thought this would be an easier topic to do a research project on because we have already done a unit on it in history class. I'm not the best at history, but I comprehended the feudalism topic pretty well and thought it would be easy for me.
