#Peak

 So the blog prompt was “Relate to anything you’ve discovered while reading. It doesn’t have to be directly related to your book, it can be anything that sparks an idea. Or, if you need, share what has been on your mind this week.” But I am going to take the road about sharing what’s been on my mind this week to keep my blog interesting. I want to say on Friday Mrs. Knudson challenged us with the question “When did you peak?” I thought about it, and sophomore year came up. Man, did it make me sad. Sophomore year was so fun and I was like geez imagine peaking in high school, ESPECIALLY your sophomore year. But after getting all mopey, I realized what the pandemic did to us. I just know nobody is peaking right now, and if they are, GOOD FOR THEM. Literally going through torture right now in life and I am worried about peaking sophomore year… As much as I wish all my peers the best, sometimes I wish the worst and I go off the thought that there’s always something going on in people’s lives. I think us humans wish the best for others on the outside but innerly wish them-self the best. For example, I thought it was great that some people lost weight over quarantine, but boy when I gained weight it made me so mad. Like I wished everyone would just gain weight with me. I probably sound crazy but it makes sense in a more mature/non teenage girl speaking. Whenever we fail, we want others to fail with us. Life is a competition of who’s the happiest.

    Vivienne I totally get what you're saying. I think for me at least, when I struggle with something, it makes me feel better if other people are struggling at the same thing and for that reason I always wish that they are.

25 Dollars

  Last Thursday Trevor came into my work place, “Detroit Wing Company” at around eight pm. In our chatter, our favorite class “12 AP English” was brought up. Mostly we conversed on Nav’s stupid beanie (just kidding). We actually talked about who would win the debate, negative or affirmative. We of course rooted for our home teams and made a 25 dollar bet one who would win. In this blog post, I am writing about what I would do with that gorgeous amount of cash. First of all, I would make it very clear that I won. I would take a video of him handing me the money with me laughing in the background. Then, I would take some selfies with the money via snapchat and send them his way. After that gets old, I will put the 25 dollars in my tip jar. Hopefully at the end of the month I will deposit the whole jar to my bank account. One day when me and the gals want to grab a nice bite I will go get Thai food or Indian (TBD) and I will spend about 15 on the meal leaving at three dollar tip. “Viv...

PLEASE DON'T READ THIS! NOT MY BEST WORK

  Vivienne François Mrs. Knudson 12 AP English 13 October 2020 Lyric Essay: Complex Characters In human nature, people tend to feel more purposeful when they find that someone that can make them say “same,” a song you scream that’s a “mood,” or that book that makes you finally unlock a deep self realization. In both “Oedipus the King” and “Saving Sourdi” authors compose complex characters to prove no one stands alone in our relatable universe and to emphasize the theme that truth can be fatal in many ways given character emotion.  “Saving Sourdi” author May-Lee Chai had me at “Sometimes we locked ourselves in the bathroom” (Chai paragraph 21). Similar to the complex character Nea , my older sister and I would lock ourselves in bathrooms, and call the times we shared in their “girl parties.” Chai established the archetype of the “mother older sister.” The sister that falls in the footsteps of a strong mother figure who the younger sister strives to keep their head above water t...

Q

            My sister is a sophomore in college and she’s absolutely thriving. She never really enjoyed high school, and she was the quiet, unproblematic type with the close friends from elementary school. There was never a specific instance or reason to hate Troy High for her. I’ve actually had good times, and sometimes I get scared if I’m currently peaking because of her.  I think a big part of her happiness from college is having new friends, a downtown area, and a boyfriend. Boyfriend. I don't really have trust issues but I heavily don’t mess with this mofo… There’s some off juju about him and I have no evidence to present a solid motive to dislike the dude. I always bring him up because she is too shy to say anything but I will just be spacing out during a conversation and be like why did I even ask. He’s also not ugly, but I just don’t like his face, if that makes sense. And the worst of it all is his name is Quinton, not that it matters, bu...
