"Time waits for no one"-From the animated movie of "The Girl Who Lept Through Time"

2nd Rough Draft Final Draft Recording of Essay media type="file" key="Recording.m4a" Currently in English class, we are reading a book called the "Outsiders." To get a better glimpse at what a Greaser is, we watched the movie, "Grease." After watching the movie, we were given the assignment of describing what a Greaser is, if the only thing you know about them is what you saw in the movie.

Through out the last few weeks, our English class read the book, The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle. In order to get a better understanding of the story and grasp the true meaning of the story, we have rewrote the story so that it contains the same events, but with a different setting. We also analyzed the main characters of the story to understand them better, and therefore expressing them better in our rewrite of the story.

Nice Job! Since I find golf extremely relaxing, I enjoyed reading this story. I also enjoyed how well it fit with the original story. It was interesting to see how people were punished by hurting their wrists. There were a number of times where things did not match up too well, but for the most part everything seemed to fit together. I can tell you both worked on this project because of the different layouts. Next time you work together, try a little harder to make the connections seamless. Make sure the chapters are in order, the same font is used, and using the same program. You did well with this assignment.
