  6. What you’ve learned during week two of high school: • Simply knowing what happened in a book is not enough. One must look at the layers of meaning and seek deeper thoughts and messages. • Writing is not easy; in order to do it well, one must put in the time and thought to make it great! • Having others read your writing is difficult because it feels like a personal judgment, but if we are honest and trust each other, it is a necessary evil that can help us grow.
