Chap 13-15

In chapter 13, Anne and her mother are preparing for the Christmas season. Anne's long time friend, Margery, came to visit. Margery is Thomas Wyatt's older sister. Margery tells Anne about her husband's health and how he's not doing too good, and how she plan to go see her family. She also invited Anne to go with her and visit family. Margery then brings up the situation between Anne and Henry. Anne tells her the truth about how he is going to make her his wife and everything. Two weeks later Anne and her mom were back in Hever. King Henry noticed that Thomas had Anne's locket and he burst into Anne's home and demanded she tell him if she cheated on him.

In chapter 14, we find out that Henry has gave Anne a white horse for a New Year's present. The King sends two men to deliver his letter to Anne.Dr. Foxxe gave Anne a book called 'The Obedience of a Christian Man".

In chapter 15, it took place at the Windsor Castle. Anne and her mother went to go see King Henry. We find out if it wasn't for Katherine's nephew, the Pope would have already gave Henry the annulment. Anne and her mom are guests of honor. Finally, after four months, Anne and Henry are together again. Anne finally got her two maids, Anne Gainford and Mary  Norris. Anne was headed to a private feast in the Privy Chamber. The next morning when Anne and Henry met up, she noticed the Queen looking from her Privy Chamber and realized she had seen her and Henry kiss. They ended up running into each other, and the Queen said something mean to Anne, but she replied back with something just as rude.

Poem

My love for you
Has always been true
Even in my darkest days
I can always find light in your eyes

You make me smile
Even when I'm blue
I can't picture myself
With anyone but you

You are the one
I've always longed for
The only one
That's been in my dreams

You are who
I want to spend the rest of my days with
For better or for worse
I'll always be with you

Chapter nine: The author has introduced a new character by the name of Charles Brandon. The Duke wants Anne to destroy Wolsey, but she tells them she cannot do that. In the end of the chapter, Anne travels with Katherine to The Palace of Richmond.

Chapter ten: When this chapter first starts out, Anne and Katherine have arrived at The Palace of Richmond. Anne gets to meet Wolsey, but not on good terms as they got into a verbal argument. We later find out The King of France denies the annulment and King Henry becomes furious.

Chapter eleven: The court then moves to The Palace of Placentia at Greenwich. It upsets Anne quite a bit that Henry and Katherine are still together, but she tries to continue hiding it. Anne tells her friend Nan about her and King Henry and how he plans to make her his Queen. Anne and George went on an adventure, knowing their dad would get mad at them. In the end, King Henry tells Anne he is done waiting for Katherine and he will be giving Anne her own ladies in waiting.

Chapter twelve: In the beginning of this chapter Anne decides to tell Henry she is thinking about moving back with her mom for a little while so all the rumors and gossip about them will die down. Anne asks Nan, Mary, and Joan to be a part of her household. They received their first snow of the season. While staying with her mom, her mom hands her a book to read that is banned in England. In the end, Anne hides the banned book in between two volumes of a book in her dads book collection.

Anne Boleyn book

Chapter 4: This is getting kind of interesting. More things are happening with Anne and King Henry.
I don't really understand why Anne picked out a ship ring for Henry. Why is she getting him a ring if they aren't even married or engaged yet? Also, I'm not understanding what Anne's letter is really talking about or why she called herself a servant.

Chapter 5: This chapter is really confusing. Does Anne's dad have another wife or am I missing something? Who is Lady Elizabeth? What are the adults talking about and why do the girls have to go play in the garden? I think it's really sweet Wyatt wrote that poem about Anne because he's loved her for so long. What kind of game are they playing, and why is that locket so important to Anne?

Chapter 6: Since when did Anne have a brother? Some of these things just aren't making sense to me. How are people in the real world not noticing that their friend is gone? Will she ever go back to herself? Did her real world life just go on pause or something? And also, what does the signature mean on Henry's letter?

Chapter 7:  What is a 'Book of Hours'? This chapter kind of made me laugh to myself because Anne can't stand Katherine and she has to continue rubbing her feet and stuff while she's going behind her back and running around with Katherine's husband. What is the date? How much longer until it's the end of the year when Henry and Katherine won't be together anymore?

Chapter one was confusing to me. Also, it was boring in the beginning. I didn't really know what was going on and there wasn't really anything there for me to try and grasp to get the concept.

Chapter two was more interesting than Chapter one. But I'm still a little confused. Is the Author Anne? Is she writing as herself in the situation? Is she writing as if she is someone else instead of Sarah Morris? It was interesting how she was feeling nauseas then all of a sudden she pretty much passed out and entered into this whole different world. Where did you get the idea to do that? What gave you ideas to write the book and start it out like this?

Chapter three is interesting to me as well. The story has captured my attention. It is seeming like this story so far is a little like a Romeo and Juliet kinda thing, but with more women involved with Henry than just one. It makes me wonder what will happen in Chapter four.

Chapter four kind of surprised me. How can your dad just tell you to say yes to some old guy asking you to marry him just because he is king..? my dad would freak out... I also don't understand why they are going hunting, but I'm still trying to figure it out. Im still wondering if the author is actually Anne or if this is a dream to her or what.. still confused

When reading the page 432 really helped me. It showed me a few examples of how I can make my papers better by using clear organization and how to analyze cause and effects.
Also, pages 434 and 435 helped by answering some questions I actually had and also giving me other page numbers I can go back to if I need a detailed explanation/answer.

Essay

        
             The rough draft is used to get the main idea of what you'll be including in your paper and how it will be set up. Also to express and connect ideas, it shows you what you should change and how to rearrange ideas to create a better layout, and how to make a better and more interesting story/essay. Writing the rough draft for me was hard at first, but once I started writing a little more than 2 paragraphs, it went by a little faster, and became a little easier.
             These chapters helped me learn how I can be more specific and make my sentences and ideas more detailed. It also helped me to be more organized with my outlines, putting my ideas together, and how I can create a better thesis statement. The chapters I read helped me on how to get a better structure for my draft and finalized paper. It also gave me examples how to keep my audience interested, have a well written story, and how to increase giving better vivid descriptions. Also, the book showed me including exact feelings, thoughts; even ages can improve a paper as well.


              I'm planning on getting a tattoo very soon. My uncle passed away a few months ago, on November 6th. He and I were very close, and I have no pictures of him. It still feels like a big piece of me is missing, but I feel when I'm able to see a reminder of him daily it will become reality to me. It will be a way to help me cope and it will be a symbol of remembrance of my uncle forever.
