Grant Warner Monologue

Great Essays
High school is a curious place, from what I 've learned these past two years. I 've done some things that I 'm rather proud of. I 've made mistakes. I learned more than I could have imagined. Yet, somehow I 'm still unsatisfied. Teenage boys are a species of their own. Normally, I 'd prefer to not talk about them. I find the majority to be especially ignorant, rude, unaware, stupid, and horny. Sometimes you think you 've found one that defies the odds, however you eventually discover the foolish jerk they actually are. Grant Warner, perhaps a species of his own. So far, in the past seven months that I 've known him, he seems to be possibly the only person I could ever have a for real thing with. He 's smart, witty, attractive, a Christian, nice, and he includes me in conversation sometimes even when I just want to be left alone, but I end up liking it anyways. I smile more in that class, Introduction to Health Science, than I do during the rest of the day, not including lunch, which is spent with my best friend in the entire world, Ilah LaMountain. But that’s still impressive, to be fair. I push myself in that class because we made up this pretend club called The A Team and I would seriously hate to be …show more content…
In other words, a prep. Preps are richer than you, have better clothes, get away with everything, and exclusively hang out with preps only. Taylor Walker was the one of the only people I could stand in that class so I tried to stick with her as much as possible. Of course with my luck we got separated after about the first week of school. With trying to fit in with the preps and pretending to be smarter and cooler than you actually are, comes inevitable mistakes and embarrassment. For example, once we had this project that we had to do on Prezi, which is basically like a far more annoying form of

    Matthew Furman Brown is doing much better. Much more talkative today and joking with everyone. He was moved out of ICU last night and I got to lay with him for the first time in awhile. Memory is still foggy and he hurts everywhere. He didn't believe me when I said my bday was 4/27 (we share the same day) and that was a shock to him.…

    Five months had passed since the day I took Bob Ewell’s life. Mr. Tate and Atticus did not tell anyone about my involvement; according to them Jem defended himself and Scout, knocking him onto his own knife before collapsing in the dirt. Because of Scout’s rectangular field of vision and panicked haze, she could not accurately describe what happened and contentedly settled with Mr. Tate’s story. The court case came and went without much difficulty.…

    Jocks Stereotypes

    Somewhere along the way we lost our sense that everyone deserves a chance until they prove otherwise. I believe this is why the issue of stereotypes and making every stereotype negative is such a problem in American society today. A jock may be used to having to show out to do their best and advance in their sport, not to make others feel less than them. A band geek may use music as an escape; not as a way to avoid others. A preppy girl may simply like to dress nice; not be a force if negativity to others.…

    High school changes people. They express themselves, become opinionated, and they start to look at the world differently as they experience things they have never encountered before.

    Maquoketa, upon my initial impression when I moved here in 2012, was a small quiet town and although that is something that I now I know it is also so much more. I was in middle-school when I first came but it was in high school that I truly grew to appreciate the wonderful community. My first year of high school was certainly unnerving, although I had previously attended an elementary and middle school that were more than double its size it still held an allure of suspense over what may soon come.…
