How to write an AP English blog post.
The first step to writing an AP English Blog Post is to remember about it. After you remember about it, you have to convey thought to what you want to write about. Then comes capacious time for procrastination, we go on facebook, tumblr, look at the wall, etc. Then comes the actual writing and the organization of what you want to express. After you finish writing it go have a snack as a treat to yourself. Then comes the hardest part. The most dross thing about writing AP English blog posts is having to include vocabulary words. This is the part I leave for last. You will not be considered a tyros in writing blog posts after you this blog entry.

I am in excruciating pain. My mommy took me to the dentist to get one of my wisdom teeth out. The doctor, Maru, gave me 3 anesthetics and I didn't feel a thing (other than fat). While my tooth was being removed from my mouth I was talking and joking around with Maru. When we left the office mom went to Walgreens to get my medication, and the anesthetics started to wear off. Now I'm laying in my bed and Luis Gabriel is holding a bag of ice to my cheek because I think I might die today of teeth pain. And to think I might have to go through this again. *dread*

The Harry Potter books have been adapted into movies. Eight movies out of 7 books, and the most loyal to the book have been the last two movies, Deathly Hallows Parts 1 & 2. The essence of the book is maintained throughout the movie for the most part. They kept most of the nitty-gritty details in the movie, for example Bill's werewolf lineaments, when 6 of the order members take polyjuice potion to impersonate Harry and the exhaustive search for the horcruxes that all readers believe was just a filler so the book didn't just have 100 pages was equally long and tedious in the movie. The problem with the Deathly Hallows is that most of the details of Lily and Snape's relationship were left out. In the movie we never see the letter that Lily wrote to Sirius and Harry finds torn in half, and later find out Snape took, we don't see that Snape had an argument with Lily about him wanting to be a Death Eater and treating her like she wasn't a "mudblood" and that was what caused the animosity between them, despite the fact that they loved each other. Despite the differences the movie does receive the feat for being the best (2) Harry Potter movies of the series.

Internet addiction is very common in teenagers these days. It is not in my mind to be derogatory of the internet, but there are certain effects in a teenager's life caused by the internet. Teenagers tend to revolve their lives around the internet, this is not very astute because it can lead to negative side-effects. It can cause your grades to drop, like it can cause early exposition to the world in dangerous and mature ways. The first step to stop your internet addiction is when you sit down and say to yourself "I need to stop using the internet, immediately."

Aidita Capacetti was my aunt. I never met her, but I would have loved to. I've heard about her a lot. She died of cancer at the age of 14, and she left a gap in my grandmother's heart that has not been filled in 20 years.
Titi Aidita: "Becky, you are a smart girl. You cherrish your family. You care about it, always keep that in thought. It is something important. But Becky, it was nice to meet you after watching you from heaven all these years."
Becky: "It was nice to meet you too titi. I've heard nothing but great things about you, and today I confirmed them."
Titi Aidita:"Bye. See you, but I hope not so soon."
Titi Aidita: "Hi Becky, you don't know me, but I am your Titi Aida."
Becky:"Of course I know who you are! I've seen enough pictures, and you look just like my brother Danny."
Titi Aidita: "Oh Becky, you have the soul of a child, just like your dad. He was always joking around and having fun. Nothing could ever bring him down."
Becky: "Nothing still can Titi. He always has a smile of his face, and nothing is ever too bad for him. He sees the positive in everything."
Titi Aidita:"Yes, he does. I remember the day I died was his birthday, he was joking about me dying that day. When Papito Dios asked me to go with him, I felt terrible. Couldn't believe that what your dad said came true."
Becky: "He couldn't believe it either. He's told me that sometimes he still feels bad about it."
Titi Aidita: "Oh no, oh no, oh no! You tell him that I say it wasnt his fault. But that between staying here, and suffering from cancer, and going to heaven with God, the latter was far more appealing. And that in time you will all join me here"
Becky:"Of course I know who you are! I've seen enough pictures, and you look just like my brother Danny."
Titi Aidita: "Oh Becky, you have the soul of a child, just like your dad. He was always joking around and having fun. Nothing could ever bring him down."

Becky: "He wont believe that from he. He nees to hear it from you, you have more influence over him. But I'm sure once we move on from this life, you'll have more than enough chances to make him stop and listen to you."
Titi Aidita: "A whole eternity to tell him how wrong he is to feel guilty. He'll get tired of it in no time."
Becky: "I doubt he'll be tired of it. On the contrary, he'll be trilled. He constantly says how he never had the oportunity to bond with you, and how much he would love to have a hug from you."
Titi Aidita: "Yes, Mami and papi always excluded me from the boys. There was 5 of them, and only one of me. And I was tiny. For some reason, they believed I would easily break. They were right."
Becky: "No titi, you didn't easily brake. You fought with a desease that was terminal and you knew death was inevitable. You were strong for your brothers, and your parents, and the rest of your family members, and you should be admired. At the age of 14 I would have not been mature enough to face death the way you did."
Titi Aidita: "You know who should be admired? Mami. She is the strongest person I know. After I died, I decided to watch over her, it was logical that she would have been weak, fragile and broken. But no, instead she consoled everyone. Her sisters, her sons, papi, everyone who came to her because of my death was consoled by her. She didn't break down to cry until months afterwards."
Becky: "Oh Titi, Abuela is stronger than you think. She must have been ambivalent about the whole thing. She beat breast cancer, gave birth to 6 children, lost one of them, and raised 5 excellent men. She deserved to break down long before she did. Luckily she recovered fast."
Titi Aidita: "A whole eternity to tell him how wrong he is to feel guilty. He'll get tired of it in no time."
