Is it okay to use "I" in the How It Feels Essay?
ReplyDeleteAnd "me"?
ReplyDeleteWhy not? The author does, and it's an essay about you, after all.
ReplyDeleteyeah i think you are supposed to Nataliya, because the whole essay is about an aspect of yourself! :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with Alan and Rachel. ;)
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone else use Pages for a Mac? I cannot figure out how to change the header settings to "skip" the numbering of the first page. HELP...please!
ReplyDeleteBlake, are we just supposed to skip the number and just put our last name? and then the second page will be Kirby 1 or Kirby 2?
