For Romero

Dear Mr. Romero



There many people that do good in this world and get recognize for doing so. While there are others that do good in this world and don’t get recognize for their good. That is why I am writing this letter to you I believe that in your class I deserve an A here some good reason into persuading why.

Ever Since the being of the year of your class I have always been helpful, hardworking and followed direction. I never acted up in you class or talk too much you class is always fun and exciting. I learn so much in class this year, such as to take three or more column notes. Those really came in handy especially when compare to story into a essay. I also learn to form questions using the 6 levels of bloom taxonomy after reading a story.

There many things I may have learn this pass year with but the most thing I will never for get is that learn was what you told me I will learn for you which is more about myself. Before writing to me was just class that I could get a easy A but I realize that it is so much more. Through writing I learn how to express myself to a character point of view instead of just writing boarding story. Writing to me has now has become one of my hobbies that enjoy doing . It’s even one the things I want do when I
grow up, which is write but think I might I have to work on my editing first
before

Mr .Romero there are many other things I learn in you class like for insist using a voice in you writing and making sure you use details and transitions, but that things that off the top of my head. Even through I am leaving you this year and won’t be returning until next year I will take on everything I learn and use it o in my future writing.

Sincerely
Zoey Frakes
Ps. I hope you think long and hard about my grade and what it should be which is an A.

Frederick Douglass

The are a lot of famous writers but one the most greatest and oldest writer that comes to mine for me is Frederick Douglass. Douglass is one of the most well know writer but of the journey that he had to go through to get to becoming writer, In fact one of the people that made way for other black writer today. Now douglas history starts on 1818 in the month of February the day unknown the day he was born . His birth name was Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey Douglass was part of a large family and his father was believe to be his master and his mother was a slave. He was born on the eastern shore of Maryland. Douglas had a happy childhood growing up he mostly lived with his aunt Bestey.

As you know Frederick was born in slavery but at age 20 , he escaped in 1838, he escaped to freedom in New York.. Right after Douglass escaped he choose to start his new life with new last name that he choose from the book The lady of the lake . He then became American anti-slavery leaders. A few years later he went to work for abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison. traveling and speaking on behalf of Garrison's paper The Liberator Douglass published his memoir Narrative of the life of Frederick Douglass , an American Slave in 1845.

As the years went on Douglass gained fame as a speaker, began his own anti-slavery publications and became a 'conductor' on the Underground Railroad. Then later on he Douglass married Anna Murray, a free black woman, shortly after his escape from slavery in 1838 they had four children. In later years he became a personal friend of Abraham Lincoln and helped persuade Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation. He also was a strong supporter of women's rights. He is often described as the founder of the American civil rights movement. Then in 1895 Douglass die due to a heart attack. Douglass was best know as a smart and determine. He always Fought for what he believe in and never give up.

At What Ages Should Teenagers Date?

In the book Huckleberry Finn the chapter 17 and 18 tell a story of two teenagers that were in love but their family dislike each other and were rivals. It’s basically like a mini Romeo and Juilet story with killing, romance and whole brunch of drama. In that cruelist time the two teenagers still find it in themselves to love each other despite there families difference. Teenage love is a romantic thing that everyone should experience. And maybe that person that ends up being you teenager love might end up being you true love. But what age should a teenager date well I believe they should date at the age the starting age 13 or 14 . So here are some great reason why date should be at 13 and 14.
One reason why you should start dating at the age 13 or 14 is middle school and high there are a lot of dance such as prom, homecoming and sockhop etc. That teenager mostly might want to go on those dance s with a date. So to not go with just a complete stranger you might want to get to know that person. I Know I would.

So in my defense I believe Teenager should be able to date at the starting age of 13 or 14. But I also believe that it depends upon the person wheather or not that person is moreture to date or not.when dating at the age of 13 your officially a teenager and mostly being treated with a little bit Indepenance and probably want to start do what most teenagers do. Like hangout with you friends and not be around you friends. So why not let a teenager take on a lover you only have one shot at love why not take it a young age that will last.

At What Ages Should Teenagers Date?

This essay that you are about to read is my opinion on what age a teenager should start dating. There might be a couple of miss spelled words but think you can get the point across. So hope you like it because I sure like right it.
