Great job and good luck with the anwsers Hey, I HATE English. To be honest, I wouldn't mind it if they never graded it lol! That would sure bring up my grade point average! Well, I'll let you go. Talk to you later today
*God Bless*

English is a very important subject...it is a subject very relevant in today's society. Do not turn up your nose...I'd ground you too for getting a C. But that's much better than some of the grades my child has brought home recently! Ugh!
-
Thank you! Maybe you should talk to my mom sometime and tell her that 
Then maybe she'll unground me for having a "C" in my English class.

Thank you I hope these are right, but a couple of them I'm questioning now. I guess I'll leave it the way it is, though Hopefully other people will get in so I can see what the answers are.
