Stereotypes happen within school very often, the clubs you are part of "defines you". I am an athlete, so people think that I am dumb, I am in FFA so people think I'm country, I'm the principal's daughter so people think that I won't ever get in trouble or that I know everything. People say that because of my last name I made the JV and Varsity team for basketball. Stereotypes come from movies and how some characters act in those movies seem to portray a whole group of people. When in actuality I play sports and I am tied for second in freshman class rank. I'm in FFA because it is another reason for leadership opportunities, I made JV and Varsity for basketball because I earned it.
In the picture of Chin-kee it is representing the stereotypes of people that are from Asia. This stereotype is important because it is not true about all of them. My first impressions, well I'll admit it I was overwhelmed. The difference between Chin-kee and the main character of the book shows that Chin-kee is representing a stereotype and the main character is what the majority of people from that group act like.

I am 15 years old, I live in Thomasboro, I was born in Urbana. My mom was from Gifford and my dad was from Thomasboro, they both went to Rantoul High School and were high school sweethearts. My dad went into the Army and my parents were married at 20 years old. They were stationed in New York, Kentucky, and then returned to Central Illinois. My grandma on my dad's side was also from Thomasboro. My great-grandma on my dad's side lived in Thomasboro. Her parents were from Germany, and she had 6 sisters and 7 brothers and they all lived in a two bedroom house in the country outside of Rantoul. That is about as far back as I can go back. I know all this from stories I have been told, and questions I have asked. I don't know the stuff I don't know because I haven't asked about the stuff that I don' t know.
During this writing I feel I have learned how to better format writing. I have learned how to format Shakespearean quotes correctly. I have also found that I can choose to write professionally when I need to. I feel that doing this writing assignment has made me a better writer overall. This assignment had just enough restrictions on it to give us flexibility to write our own assignments, and everyone not having the same exact paper. Good writing contains good grammar, formatting, and proper citations.
I liked "Romeo and Juliet" because of the story line, until the end. I do not like the end, I have never liked the end of the story. I believe it is a good end to the story just not a happy one. I do feel that by the end of the play I have developed better reading traits, and that it is easier to read than it was at the beginning. This is one of the most well known love stories ever, so there has to be some reason it is well known, I think the reason it is well known is because it is developed very well. I like this about the story. I just have never been able to get over the ending.
