reading, writing, and all that jazz
This website is dedicated to my current and future endeavors in A.P. Literature and Composition, as well as creative writing.
AP literature
I hope to do well on the upcoming test, and, if you know me personally, I would appreciate some emotional support somewhere around the month of May (AKA AP Testing Season/Standardized Student Torture). So far, I've learned a lot, but I know I have a long way to go before I'm ready for the test. On this site, I will feature some study tools for the AP test, as well as some examples of my own writings (For those who may be struggling with AP Lit themselves), in the hopes of helping some other poor unfortunate soul who undertook this experience. Realize when I say this, I am just being a melodramatic teenager, in all actuality this is probably one of my favorite classes I've had the opportunity to take; I look forward to the rest of the year.
Good luck to all AP Students of 2015!
Sincerely, Miranda Schaffer

Creative writing
Surprise, surprise it's me again! As if I wasn't writing enough in AP Literature, I've now also signed up for creative writing! I've always liked to write creatively, and hope this class with be a good instrument for sharpening my writer's tool set. Here I will share some of my works I stumble through on this bumpy writing road. I can't wait to see where the road will lead to in the future; I can only hope that it will have lots of twists and turns, so that one day, maybe it'll make a good story!
