Second Round

Today is the day that I go back to posting on my blog. I had created this blog last year for my English class and I thought that this was a good wayof showing what we’ve learned.

Most of us pretend to be happy and that we have a great life. We fake a smile each day so that no one could ever really know what's going on. I also feel like Richard Cory was pictured as the perfect guy so he felt the need to always be perfect in front of others and show no weakness. Some times I feel like I am Richard Cory except for the fact that I don't want to commit suicide. Most of the time people feel like I am very smart and that I don't struggle, but I do sometimes and I don't always show it. The emotions that we don't show are what some need to see so that they don't feel alone. Maybe he felt so much pressure that he decided to kill himself so he woul...
