Monday, December 21, 2009. A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. Death is something that has occured in my life, leaving many challenges, yet new opportunities. Yet, even with the sadness, I learned that something good will always come out of something bad. Life goes on, sadness will not stay, and love will last forever. Monday, December 7, 2009. Tuesday, October 27, 2009. With everyone's busy schedules, when should we make time to celebrate those who fought for our freedom? Every day, people forget those friends an...

Kelsey's essays: Edgar Allan Poe
http://kelseysessays.blogspot.com/p/edgar-allan-poe.html
This story is about a man with a love for animals. He soon gets a black cat with his wife and shortly starts to have major mood swings. His anger is towards the cat and he eventually kills the cat but the short story takes an ironic swing. I had wondered why he was so upset with the cat and this is what I thought of. Everybody has a weakness which they wish to hide; a soft spot in their heart that holds a fondness. In the short story The Black Cat. He had many pets as a child. Edgar Allan Poe's main char...

Wednesday, June 29, 2011. Friday, June 3, 2011. At the end of the year. Authors note: This closure piece is a reflection over the past two years I have been in middle school with Mr. Johnson. As much as I look forward to high school, part of me wishes I could stay in middle school just for the sake of still having Mr. Johnson as my English teacher. As cliché as it sounds, it is difficult to see how my two years of middle school. Have passed by so quickly. I had Mr. Johnson now. So now as I look forward t...

Kelsey's Blog: Finally Truth
http://kelsey-kesl.blogspot.com/2011/04/finally-truth.html
Sunday, April 17, 2011. Authors note: This poem represents all the lies that had been told to Truman. There are two quotes that the director of the show said in the movie that showed his need for control over the show and Truman. I incorporated both of them into the poem. Also, the last line was not spoken in the movie, but it seemed as though it should be assumed. O're the ocean he traveled to see. That which had made him what he be. That which has almost been his death. Of all the lies ever was told.

Kelsey's Blog: September 2010
http://kelsey-kesl.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 1, 2010. This summer, I went to Illinois with my family to see my cousin get married. The wedding was beautiful, and my cousin, Nick, and his bride-to-be, Katie, seemed so happy. It got me wondering about how much effort is put into a wedding, but more importantly, what are the bride and groom going through. The crowd waiting through the doors. The tears running down your cheeks. The man you love standing at the aisle. The crowd in front of you. Attempting to stay strong.

http://kelsey-kesl.blogspot.com/2011/04/saison-dautumn.html
Thursday, April 21, 2011. Author's note: I tried to write this poem in french just to see how hard it was. Below it is a translation. Avec les feuillages des coleur brilliant. Et arbes des verte terre. Je regarde le mou et belle saison. Devenis le froid hiver. With the leaves of bright color. And trees of green earth. I watch the soft and beautiful season. Become the cold winter. April 26, 2011 at 10:23 AM. April 28, 2011 at 8:38 AM. This comment has been removed by the author. April 28, 2011 at 8:39 AM.

http://kelsey-kesl.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 25, 2010. Orphaned at age 12. Death is never an easy obstacle to get over. Right when you think the pain is gone, it comes right back. This is in the view of an ignorant, yet curious, twele year old boy. He still has yet to get over the loss of his five dead family members. Owen, get your bags and keep moving, otherwise you will not get any supper," snapped my caretaker, though she still has yet to realize the weight of a dead family.
