What LOTF character do you relate to the most?

       The LOTF character I relate to the most is probably Piggy, simply because I eat everything I see. Since Piggy is fat a likes to eat I am better off suited with him. I wouldn't consider my self equal to Piggy's weight, but I eat and eat and some how I don't gain a pound. I must have a good metabolism she. While Piggy lives on this island he eats all of the kids food, and hides on own secret little stash just for him.
       In my house, I keep a little candy stash in my room because I am always a big sweet tooth. Since my parents are dentist we rarely have sweets in our house, but when we do have them everybody takes as much as they can and hides the candy to only they know where it is. I normally keep a bag of m&m's, kit kats, and sour patch kids under t-shirts in my drawer so nobody can find it. That is why I relate to piggy.

The writing center + reading log

        The writing center looks like it is a very enjoyable place to write and get help on your paper. However I personally did not go get help at the writing center, a writing center fellow is in my study hall. She helped guide me through editing tips and what to reword. We started looking over the paper at the beginning of study hall, at 12:30 and ended at 1:15.
        While my writing fellow was guiding me through helpful tips, I wrote down all of her advise so I wouldn't forget what she said. That was a very useful thing I did while she was helping me. When we first sat down together she said, "Read you paper out loud to me." I read it, and then she said, "Your paper was good, but there is still room for improving." After that we shared thoughts and ideas on how to make it flow better, and then the period was over.
