journal entry on sylvia Plath first suicide attempt
This is it... I'm through. I've been happy...just to decieve and convey the mind of the weak. I want everybody to think im happy...I mean I dated a senior who was so awesome. But he got tuberculosis...that made me so sad. Well, I went to visit him because i cared about him and while I was skiing i broke my damn leg. But i did it out of a suicide attempt. People will believe anything if you say it the right way. But guess what, I got a job as a guest editor at Mademoiselle magazine. The good thing about that was that i spent a month in New work. That made me happy....well you could say that. But well I started to feel incomplete as a human being. as if something was lacking. But I have no idea what it was. Then later on i started to find different crap about my self to look down apon. I was hurt inside, I cried, why, i don't know...i just did. I felt it was time to go. I got a bunch of sleeping pills, crawled under my house and gulped, gulped until i felt sleepy but......somehow i lived...i have no idea why...i made some poems because of that situation. It was in my best interest that I was to get some theorpy for that. So i did, but all they had was electroconvulsive theorpy. And for some reason Olive Higgins prouty, the person who gave me my scholorship, paid my medical expences. I later recovered and graduaded with honors...

this post has great strength... good information that was clearly researched, but you still need to cite where you got the information from and make sure to proofread what you have written. This should be broken into paragraphs and fully explored.
