English in High School
Here are two literary essays I wrote back when I was in High School. I’m putting them here not because I think they are especially good, but because they used to be available at my school’s website and since then they have been picked up by non-free websites that gather essays and writings of all kinds to make unimaginative students pay for what they don’t want to write. To help stop taking advantage of poor students, here are these two texts. Use at your own risk, of course.
