……..If you know me then you must have already realized that I am very hairy. Well I wasn’t always this abnormally covered with hair. It all started around the age of nine. It started attacking me as if I were Chuck Norris. The cause? Puberty! If you haven’t already experienced puberty take my advice… it is not nice. I had gotten taller, my voice had gotten deeper; my car developed “headlights” (if you know what I mean). All the signs of turning into a woman and I had many questions.

……The reason I picked puberty was so I could inform my classmates answers to questions that would otherwise be too awkward to ask. I have noticed that puberty abides by the “don’t ask don’t tell” policy. This is because some people assume that the topic is uncomfortable and it’s just better not to talk about. I on the other hand think kids should be well informed otherwise they will be scared and unaware of what’s happening. Believe it or not teenagers have a strong desire to learn about their body and puberty. Many of them find out their information from “the streets” where the facts aren’t all correct. So I think that it’s time to set the record straight and learn about puberty (Even if it’s awkward and embarrassing).

1.The Setting of The Highwayman is in a small town controlled by British soldiers’ during the American Revolution. The story is based around the old inn where Bess lives and the road that passes by it.

The Mood of the highway man is very somber and dramatic as you read the story you understand the fate of Bess and the highway man. The beginning of the story is very somber when Bess is in love with a dishonorable highwayman instead of the honest working stable tender Tim. At climax the story becomes very dramatic as Bess kills her self and soon after somber as now Tim and the Highwayman are both heart broken.

2.Phrases that were repeated in the story were Moonlight (the time the highwayman arrived), Marching (when the soldiers arrive at the inn), Window (where Bess shot herself), and Riding (the horse the highwayman rode on).

3.Central conflict is that the soldiers are trying to capture the Highwayman but are unable to. To conflict is resolved with the death of Bess which alerts The highwayman helping him avoid arrest.

Salut ! Mes vacances d’été étaient grandes. J’ai fait beaucoup de choses. Je suis allé à Floride avec ma famille et mes amis. Nous y est resté pour à peu près deux semaines. Pendant que nous étions là-bas nous avons visité beaucoup d’endroits, tels que la Terre de Disney, les aquariums, et a fait une croisière. Je pense que la meilleure partie des vacances passait le temps avec les gens que vous aimez. Pendant que, nous étions là-bas nous avons pris beaucoup d’images si nous pouvons rappeler cette période amusante de temps. Nous toujours sommes allés aux magasins pour acheter des cadeaux pour mes cousins. Ceci était les meilleures vacances jamais.
