Charlotte



I choose the song Charlotte by Huey Mack. The song is about Huey Mack, but his real name is Joseph Cisley. It is about how his dad left him and his mom. The point of the song is to thank his mom for everything she did for him. He was confused as a kid, but now he understands every thing. His mom has cancer and all he wants to do is to take care of her. He thinks that she is amazing because she raised two kids by herself and he just wants her to know that he loves her even when she might think differently.

There are many different things you can analyze in this song. Songs are basically poems with music. In the hook there are a few cesuras but when it is the main songs there are commas but they aren't cesuras. There are no onomatopoeia. I can't really find any other techniques.

God Poem




God is the artist
He changes the darkness of night
To the brightness of daylight
He places the stars in the sky
The moon so high, up in the sky
He splashes blue and makes water
Snow of white in the winter
He colors the leaves in fall
God makes it all
We worship him, for he made the day
Which some people dread
and want it to fade away
You can't see him
But sometimes you can feel him
It's more of a blind faith
And for that he gives us grace.

My Research Paper

       The thing I feel most confident about my draft is the detail that I have that can easily be found in my detailed outline. I am very concerned with my introduction and conclusion paragraphs I find those the most hard thing to write throughout the whole paper. So basically the things I think I have done well in my paper is my detail and the parts that I need to improve are my introduction and conclusion paragraphs. 

       I think I want to change my introduction sentences in my body paragraphs I feel that they don't work as well as other sentences could introduce my paragraphs. You should focus most on my body so that I can correct that because I already know how bad my introduction and conclusion paragraphs are. The paper as a whole I feel very confident about and can make this into a very successful paper

The Giving Tree

I imagine myself as the little boy from "The Giving Tree". My favorite scene is in the end when he boy comes back as an old man and just sits on the stump because the Tree had given everything it can to the boy and the boy shares his last moments with the Tree. My least favorite scene is when the by comes back as an older man asking for wood to build a boat instead of staying with the Tree. I used to see the Tree as my mom and me as the boy. As a child I would play with her and stay with her always, but then when I would get older I would forget about her and I do is take from her until there is noting left. That is until I discovered that I would rather be the Tree going things to people rather than taking from someone. That is why this book meant a lot to me.

Instead of the boy taking everything from the tree throughout the book he should have gave something to the tree every time he took something to show his appreciation for the tree. I think the boy made a lot of mistakes in this book, but the Tree is always giving any and loving him  ways. You can learn many life lessons from this book. In the end they both get what they want happiness and the Tree still wants to give to the boy even though all he wants to do is sit on the stump that she has been reduced too. That is what I ultimately think of this book.

Hey,

My topic for National History day is Transportation Rights Since 9/11. It's basically how its affected the economy and how people aren't happy about it. This is a big problem in the United States because of the mad people. Airports and Airplanes are places that people use the most and that is where I am focusing my concentration on.




Hello Friend,

My research topic is Transportation Rights since 9/11. I am focusing on the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) and how they affected the economy and some people are enraged that their rights are being corrupted. The form of  transportation I am directing my attention on airplanes and airports. This is a travesty in the United States of America because of the infuriated citizens.

I accidentally made two blogs about my research paper:

In my research paper I feel like it has come along way than where I started. I feel what helped me the most was the detailed outline that I worked on very diligently. A lot of people worried about their rough draft and kind of just jotted down little things in there detailed outline. I put lots of details into my detailed outline and that made the rough draft a lot easier. I am also glad that I had chosen the topic that I had. There was a lot of sources that I could use and a lot of helpful information. I think that my paper will turn out very successful and will progressively  get better throughout my paper.. With these thought in mind I would like to possibly work more on my introduction and conclusion. These are the two parts of my paper that really I need work to improving.

SNEAUX DAY



           Over the snow break I did a lot! First, I made churls for spanish class, that was our emergency closure assignment. Then we had a lot of math homework to get done.  It was really fun to be away from school the first two days , but then I really wanted to go back so that I would actually get some things accomplished. There where a lot of assignments that I couldn't complete due to no internet. This caused me great trouble and I eventually worked around it.

               I also played lots of PS4. I finished the COD : Ghosts campaign it took me about 6 hours. The COD campaign was very fun until the end where you kill the leader of the opposing team, but then he comes back and drags away which led me to assume soon here will be a COD: Ghosts 2. I also played a lot of NBA 2K14, where I successfully completed a season in myCareer. My career is you make you own player and you get drafted and play as only as your self and make key decisions on and off court.
