Formalized Version:

I am proud of the Red Sox! Lets play aggressively!*

*Formalizing the "Let's man up!" phrase was difficult as we had to interpret what Lil Wayne meant by "man up." "Lets" is still a bit informal, but was the closest we were able to get to what we feel he intended.

Formalized Version:

Hello! My show in Nebraska was the best show yet! They are true fans there! It was refreshing. I was tired before the show, but they woke me up gracefully! I will love you all forever. I would like to gratefully thank you for your support.

Next, we returned to looking at theme and character development in Animal Farm.

Today, we were looking more at how Napolean changed throughout the book and how this relates to the theme of "Selfishness can wreck things for good people." We gathered evidence for how Napolean changes throughout the story and then used this evidence to complete an outline for an essay exploring how Napolean's character relates to our theme (Selfishness can wreck things for good people). The work we did today is available below.
