Kailee, Caylie, or Kayleigh?


This is an extended paragraph I wrote about my name.

~Enjoy! (:

Kailee, not long, not short, but what’s the point in worrying about that when no one can spell it right anyway? There’s tons of different ways to spell it, Caylee, Cailee, Kayleigh, Kaylee, Kaily, people spell it just about every way possible except MY way. Everyone gets it wrong, but you get used to it. It’s originally Greek, meaning pure, pure hearted in every way. I’m not so sure that suits me well. To me, when I think of the word pure, to me it seems quiet, calm, like a lull-a-by, as well as dull and simple, like a black and white photo graph. But that’s everything I’m not. I’m loud, not quiet, I’m energetic, not calm, I’m jumpy, not dull, and my brain is like a giant maze, complicated, not simple. My face is hard to read, and my mind is confusing to those who don’t think the same as I. Kailee is a very unique name, one you don’t hear often. It’s very different, out of the average. I was named after a famous actress’s daughter, my mom saw her name in a magazine, and really liked it. But to me, that means nothing, it’s just a famous person’s baby. Just another name on the baby calendar, and that’s just like me, just another girl in the crowd, but only until you get to know me, then I’m a whole new person.

My name Kailee, means pure in Greek. Pure, Pure hearted in every way. The picture I found I thought matched the meaning of my name quite well. It explains what my name means, and it also provides a thought provoking image. This image, I thought, was also really interesting. When you look at the ribbon, you try to follow it, but it doesn't really go anywhere. I thought that was quite neat. I was quite pleased that I managed to find an image like this, a quality graphic, and yet it matched my name. really go anywhere. I thought that was quite neat. I was quite pleased that I managed to find an image like this, a quality graphic, and yet it matched my name.

It is really good! I like the part when you say "like a black and white picture." It shows that it isn't this or that. Good Job!

The paragraph, like Fabian said, was really interesting. I liked the part where you talked about people not being able to spell it right... I get that too.
Your thoughts were voiced nice and loud (like you) through out the paragraph, although my computer did something funny, so it was hard to read the bottom bit. Awesome job though!
