English and Debate and American-British Relations

Grr, I have to post this all over again . . . I hate it when my computer dies. It just . . . dies . . . and then I have nothing.

In English we analyzed poems. Mine was funny, and rather cutely done (what will all the cooking parallelism and all), even if it was a femmenazi poem, lol . . . and very, very easy to analyze. All I had to talk about was the tone, and "what war Piercy was referring to." Sheesh.

( What's That Smell in the Kitchen? )

I then practiced my debate (which I will not actually get to do, because the topic changes before I actually get to go to a debate meet . . . ), and Mr. Bernstein say I (it?) was great and fantastic and if he had known I would have been that good he would have argued with my mother a little bit more over my ACTs this weekend, lol . . . anyway, I am going to get a big head now.

I'm excited about the next topic: Does the United States have a moral obligation to spread democracy? "Moral" makes it all the more controversial . . . ooh, fun ^_^

When I got home, Dad showed me these hilarious things. Apparently some people through Manchester Guardian Weekly (one of the numerous newspapers we get at my house, this one being European-- British, to be exact, with passages from the French Le Monde and the Washington Post-- and the most pro-Kerry of any paper I've ever seen-- organized a giant pen-pal system in which they emailed people in a certain county in swing-state Ohio and implored them to vote for Kerry. Their replies were hilarious!

( Aren't We Americans Great? )

Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got a paper to write on Joan of Arc, and perhaps some research to do on possible nations I would like to represent at (possibly) Historical Security Council Model UN.
