Extra Credit 1

Amuricanism

4) "I even wrote a book called Harry Otters, hoping to piggyback on the success of an British wizard."
The only thing wrong with this sentence is "an British wizard". It is just a grammatical error.

"People also tell me that I am pompous because I read my own books every morning, because I enjoy my own writing more then anyone else's in this world."
There is "because" in this sentence twice, which sounds awkward. It should just be separated to two sentences.

"I even autograph my household objects to increase their value, because I friken rule."
There shouldn't be a comma before "because" because it is just not needed in the sentence. Also, friken is spelled like "fricken", I'm pretty sure.

5) I even wrote a book called Harry Otters, hoping to piggyback on the success of a British wizard.

People also tell me that I am pompous because I read my own books every morning. I read them because I enjoy my own writing more then anyone else's in this world.

I even autograph my household objects to increase their value because I fricken rule.

6) I agree with it because you should not copy other people's work and have no point in your life. It is healthy for one to be original so one can be proud of one's work. One will also not die peacefully because that person will not feel good about oneself from not accomplishing anything in his or her life.
Textual evidence:

People have told me that I am self absorbed, and kind of a jerk because I believe myself to be the forever and eternity.
Owen is ashamed of himself because he is self absorbed and self-centered.

I realized this morning that everything I believe in, everything that I have created or that defines me, is unoriginal.
He finally realizes that he has not accomplished anything in his lifetime and he is depressed for being a failure.
