Go-o-o-o-o-d Morning Vietnam! How is everyone doing this fine May day? Today is kind of cloudy with a very light breeze and the temperature supposedly getting up to 89 degrees.
I have been going to tennis practice and I am still liking it pretty good. I am getting a little better, but I should go practice more often.
Days are really going by fast lately. Maybe it seems like days are really going slow to some of you, but most of you that read my blog are older than me, so maybe ya'll are wanting the days to go slow. If this is true, I hope your days are going very slow.
In English class this year I am reading the book 'The Scarlet Letter' by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Has anyone read it? I know my mom has, but she said it has been a while. So far I have thought it is a really well written book. Hawthorne does a great job, in my opinion, of describing characters and using symbols. I have been told that everyone in his story represents something. Such as, the governor portrays the punishment of sin, the preacher portrays the church, and the daughter of the protagonist in the story is another form of the scarlet letter. It is hard to explain on the computer but it kind of reminds me of 'Pilgrims Progress' by John Bunyan. They both use symbolism and both have a clear distinction between good and evil. Well, tell me what ya'll think!
Love, peace, and soul.
P.S. How did ya'll like my use of literature jargon? Protagonist means the main character. Antagonist is the one who is in conflict with the main character in the story.
