MY AERIES

The grade I got on my essay is a F. I got a F because i didn't do it which means i didn't turn it in. Yes i do agree with this grade because, if i didn't do it why would i get credit for it. Honestly for the first grading period i wouldn't get anything higher then a C. I think that because i haven't really posted anything on my blog but i also half a notebook half full of journal writing. That is what i think about the grade i should have.

Notes on "Earth on Turtle's Back"

People now a days use slang words or contractions and in the story there wasn't really any contraction words. During the generations the words have been changed. There are some words the we don't even use anymore. It is important for the story to be repeated word for word because, some words can be passed on differently and could make the story different.
