I set both long and short term goals all the time for myself. Not until this assignment have I ever made a New Year's resolution. Over the last few years I have slowly become in the habit of procrastinating. I would rather play games or read books than homework. Books sound much better than homework.
I am usually really busy. While dealing with chores, home projects/renovations, and normal day life it gets hard to get ahead of my homework. The goal still seems reasonable. I will need to set aside time each day for homework and time for projects. So that I will not do a last-minute job.
Life Lessons
My parents like to tell me advice all the time. One tip that I have greatly considered from my parents is "live life to the fullest". It may be like life lessons that other parents have told their children but it is a lesson that I have thought about frequently.
It guides me to do my best and strive for what I want. It makes me want to do the most that I can and achieve before I eventually die. What else would I do? Be lazy and waste my life away. It is a lesson that I will still be thinking about years from now.

Kevin
I have two best friends but I will only blog about one right now. His name is Kevin and I have known him since 2nd grade. He is a little taller than average and has dark brown hair. He is also muscularly built and works out. Kevin is also in boys scouts and is an eagle scout. He goes hiking at times with his boys scouts pack.
I would have to say Kevin is an introvert. Once you know him though he becomes a great friend. Both Kevin and I like puzzle and video games. He also loves reading. One thing I like about him is that he would stay out of an argument and think about the problem logically. Kevin is a good quality friend not like certain other friends who a person doesn't really need.

Childhood memories
When I was 4 years old I was inseparable from my brother. My brother and I are twins. We could play for hours with each other without getting tired. Like all other 4 year olds we loved playing games like tag or making forts or making up adventures.
One of those adventures was when me and my brother wanted to go camping. We couldn't actually go camping so we made an alternative. We camped in our room. We were up most of the night playing around in the tent. We were having a blast!

Dracula: POV
I read Dracula and the main literary element is point of view. The entire book is made of journals where each chapter is part of a journal from one of the main characters. The main journal entries are of Jonathan Harker, Mina Harker, and Dr. Seward. The different journals all start like different stories but they are all connected somehow. Only half way through does the POVs converge on to the same story.
The different POVs increase the reader's need to think about the plot. To find out more about Dracula the reader must find out what is common between the journals. Only by applying knowledge from two of the journals can you know what is happening with the other. Example: at one point Dracula is sucking Lucy's blood daily. You don't know until you learn from Mina's journal that Lucy's is becoming paler by the day and is becoming weak and from learning about Dracula's behavior in Jonathan's journal.

Outside reading Dracula
I read Dracula for the outside class reading. The book was a great book and I am impressed with the story line. The book doesn't get interesting until 20 pages into the book. Then you learn a lot more about Dracula. After that the book increasingly gets better and far more deep, dark, and dreadful with the fight against Count Dracula.
The main literary element would be point of view. It is plainly obvious if you look at the chapters list you will see several peoples journals. Through out the book there are three main POVs with a few other articles and journals. The main POVs would be that of Jonathan Harker, Mina Harker, and Dr. Seward but there are a total of about 5 or 6 main characters.
My thought of why this book was written this way was that it increased suspense and tension. As you see one part of the story through Jonathan's eyes it then may switch to Mina's in another place. The reader already knows the whole story but the characters don't know until they meet up with each other and make a recollection of all their parts.
The tone of the story begins somberly sentimental. As the story progresses the tone shifts even more somberly and dark and a little towards zealous.
