Brit,
Another thing to keep in mind is for some people, you don’t really get motivated to “learn” until you are ready to leave. What I mean is: sometimes we don’t see the value in, say a writing class, until we realize that it may just be important stuff to know.
Peace.

so i believe that nick is an idiot first of all. Since pretty much all of my friends besides one are alumni i have already come to the realization that NEED to write this mammoth of a paper. if i can write this and have it come out to be an ‘A paper’ then i know that next year isnt going to be such of a problem. even though these kids in my class complain, as well as i, we all know that it will help us in the long run. I just recently had a chat with one of the most influencial teachers in my high school career. She told me “seniors are coming to my class not knowing how to write at all, i dont blame the student fully. i also blame the teachers before me.” This makes alot of since to me. yeah, there are alot of students that are just looking for an excuse, but in all reality my junior advanced comp class what a joke.

Thanks for reading, btw.
It has little to do with being in AP English, Chris (you can give yourself a break).
I think answer to your question is the point of the piece. Let’s see if someone else can jump in here.
Peace.

I get what you’re doing, but I think the ending loses me. More specifically, what does the question “Why?” has to do with religion. Maybe I shouldn’t be in two AP English classes.
