fussing at her mom all the time, and she has moved on from many topics that she wrote in her diary. One way Anne matured is that she has really thought about what she has said about her mom. What the text says is,”...letters dealing with the subject ‘Mummy’ in such a hot headed way that I was quite shocked…”. What she means is that in the past, she has written about her mother so badly, she was shocked. So that means she will probably not talk about her mom in such a bad way again, which shows…
A well-known public figure that I would like to talk about is Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson. Even though he is well-known, and one of the highest paid actors around, he didn’t always have it as easy as he has it now. There are several instances in his life that could have defined him and had negative consequences that would affect who he is now.

inscriptions. Kara’s book states that Hatshepsut’s body is not yet found. However this may cause some disagreement between scholars. Due to the fact that some believe the mummy KV 60A to be Hatshepsut’s.

was tall and bright and danced around like the ballerina in my music box. (Image of candle flame dancing) Timmy’s Mum came over to speak to Mummy about my going there to play. She said she was just driving past. She had a funny face when she heard Dad yelling. She didn’t stay long. I saw her run to her car and drive away. When I went to Timmy’s place, his Mummy made us biscuits and we had some chocolate milk to drink. I didn’t even have to help – she said I was too little! I do the vegies and…
