dear Ms. H,
I published my blog, but when I published it, blogger formatted it abnormally, omitting all indentations in my post. It looks rather "blocky" and awful.
Try to go back into the edit section and add spaces between paragraphs. You might want to proofread your paper while you're at it. If your claim is that the novel is an allegory for the Stalinist regime, you show that. If your claim is that leaders manipulate for personal gain, you need more evidence to prove that. One historical reference cannot damn all leaders.
The New York Times reports that President-Elect Obama is scheduled to be sworn in at 11:56 A.M., according to documents released by the congressional committee tasked with overseeing the inauguration. Can 6th period watch it?
