Blogs

I didn't really like the blogs this year. They did help reading and writing to some extent. I think what you could do to improve is doing less articles. I really didn't like those. So you could do those maybe every once in a while or something.

Abortion

I do not agree with the senate's decision. I think that women under 18 should not need to have parent permission to get an abortion. Half the time, they don't even want their parents to know that they're pregnant. And the whole thing about transgendered people not being able to sue for not being able to go into their preferred bathrooms is stupid. Whichever sex you were born as and then you change it, you should be able to go to the bathroom that you changed to.

Poem

I think this poem is about someone being lonely. This person is imagining being in a grocery store walking around with someone. They are fantasizing about it, wishing for it. They must be extremely lonely to be wishing to walk around the grocery store with a guy named Walt Whitman.

Story

The story was about a giraffe and zebra. I'm not really sure what was going on in it, it was really confusing. It was something like how the leopard was getting his spots. I think he was learning something. I just didn't really understand it.
