In my Senior English class we read the novel A Separate Peace. This novel taught the lesson of growing up and making the transition from adolescence to experience. Upon finishing the novel I wrote an essay that touched on the key points of the plot and explained how they related to the theme.
The novel 1984 was one that I read in Senior English which demonstrated a society in which there was no privacy and the government controlled all. In as essay written about the novel I talked about this totalitarian society and elaborated on this idea more thoroughly.
In addition to 1984 and A Separate Peace, I also wrote an essay on the movie Cool Hand Luke directed by Paul Newman. In my essay I elaborated on the controversial religious allegories that were present in the film. Although, some would say that these allegories were purely coincidence I discuss in detail to my opinion as to why they were placed on purpose.
Along with composing essays, my team and I have developed a group called Take My Hand. This group is developed by five seniors and its purpose is to provide role models to young children's lives. We as a group of created a twitter page and website which go into further detail in our mission.
