Honors English Final Exam #2
By: Kelly Rocheleau
This English year has served as an experience. An experience that has handled in a
manner that makes a lot of sense, considering my progression as a human being. My
confidence in my English had been as strong as ever, as my laziness was still and still is. I
gotten everything done with most of the work finished on time or at least finished shortly after
the passing of the work’s required due date. An uncertainly had filled me, zapping me and
encouraging me to do a little less work here and a little bit less work there, catching up on other
things and getting up in a reaction of work build-up that is not completely that of that little thing
called the snowball effect. While this true of a lot of my work, I really do feel as though I pulled
all together at points and managed to get the work done when it was necessary, and at the last
second as well. See my work as proof to get gain a sense of my growing progression. The This
I believe paper shows my positivity in tempered increments. Although there are times in which
even now I’m behind, and at 8:49 as I type this sentence most people are finishing up their
essays or finished, and I’m still working on my paragraph. My first paragraph of the entire paper.
These supposed contradictions are also on my work. Not everything is done on the Wiki that
bears my name. The This I believe digital story isn’t on there. The description for this exam
essay stresses that cannot lie to yourself for this paper if you want a good grade, now I am not
doing that. I can now move on with the rest of the paper.
The essays I wrote for The Great Grapes and The Great Gatsby show off my flowery
language and dramatic usage of words. Over- analyzation of Star Wars and its nazi-related
imagery can be found in my Honors English Personal Essay. Yet prevalent in all these works is
a slowly increasing consideration for words and what they mean. The The Catcher in the Rye
essay shows nervousness in it, while the GOW/GG shows more confidence in things. Honestly,
I have mostly papers up there and not the digital stories, not representing the diversity and
progression that I feel that I should be able to show. Even now I just tried to put them that
proved too difficult to do in the amount of time that I have, so I hope that I can broke through
that barrier, not feel bad about it. A lot of that uncertainty is reflected in the wiki, as it’s messy
but a lot of strengths that I have been demonstrated of me, as I have gotten a lot better as a
writer. These last few months of demonstrated that. I put countless hours into the words that I
inserted into my paper, with SO MANY WORDS being over-analyzed by the standards of
others. I need confidence to truly break through, and I HAVE shown this.
Everything present on my wiki has shown consideration. Even the first paragraph, in its
worried awkward humor screams “Kelly Rocheleau”, yet I can’t help but think that everything
from the This I Believe to my Senior Project is different. For example, this I believe shows a lack
of confidence. The Senior Project shows confidence. That proves my improvement as a writer
and my progression as a human being. I feel like I’ve given it my all. For example, all of those
papers are composed of several paragraphs with seven-to-eight long sentences, with the typical
paragraph being a minimum of three. I spent a great deal of time choosing my words on my
papers. Those are all works that I took a lot of time and effort despite some scheduling issues.
And I have to admit, for all of my procrastinating and goofing around, I’ve gotten better at time
management. Especially when dealing with the end of the time allotted for working on the
Senior Project. From the point I was able to identify good times to work on things. To go along
with this, for example, my Honors English Senior Project Annotated Bibliography has one
anchor text and three linking texts, right? If you look at those, all of those individual paragraphs
have their own separate themes while simultaneously being connected together by the tyranny
of censorship evidenced in other countries.
My Honors English was fun, and as a reflection of that I feel my Wiki stands a decent
representation of that. Things are put together, with the papers having a lot of work put into
them. It was certainly confusing though, and goes along with the uncertainty that goes into put
your work out there. So yeah, it’s messy and isn’t perfect but I feel that it’s finely tuned and had
a lot of work put into individual pieces that created a good body of work.
