Unit 1: WW1 Literature

The book is named All Quiet on the Western Front. It was written by E.M.R and was published in 1929. I thought this book was quite sad and disturbing and  I think that’s because it was written from a soldiers perspective. You could really envision what they went through and the grief they had to go through. Even though it was sad, it was quite engaging and I think it is because it was written in a way where it was real. I think it was quite realistic.

I am going to write about my friend because she’s making me. Her name is Anna. She’s blonde and very pretty and she has to wear glasses because she’s blind. Anna is like the sweetest person I have ever met and she’s begun to be very special and close to me but probably because I am with her 24/7 because she’s in the dorms as well. She’s on the volleyball team and I do not know any of her other hobbies. If I had to describe her in a way of objects or brands. She’d be a vanilla candle, cinnamon and brandy Melville obviously. And she is like really boy crazy about a boy who she has not had one word with in her whole life, but you know other than that she’s pretty chill and I’d pick her in a room of other friends and whatever. She swears a lot and does pretty weird stuff but at the end of the day she’s chill. kinda. When I come back to the dorms from the weekend, Anna is one of the main things I am excited to see when back in the dorms. And when I am bored, I just go to her room because she’s very entertaining. Thats all I can think of right now.

Introduction

Hi, my name is Ely, short for Elyana. I enjoy shopping, taking pictures, cooking and listening to music. My favourite TV shows are Friends, Modern family, Brooklyn 99, and a kids show named Hannah Montana. I like these shows because they all feel very homey and comforting and when my home or friendships don’t feel stable; I rely on these to make myself feel better. My favourite shops are Pandora, Aritzia, and any Thrift/second hand store. I was born in Singapore and lived there until I was 12 years old then moved to Canada for better education. Only this year have I moved to the dorms. And since I have I’ve met a lot of great people that I probably would’ve have talked to if I was still just a day student. Some are Barbara, Roberta my roommate, Emma, Olivia, Lisa and Maria. I think they are all such nice people and I am very grateful to have met them. Anyways that’s all I could think of right now so.
