His heart fluttered when he first saw her across the room. The moment when he saw her, he knew that she was the one. The one to take home, the one to show her something. A secret side of him that he had never shown anyone. “Hey,” he said with confidence. “My name’s Barney, what’s yours?” She then looked at him with admiration. She reached into her bag, slowly and pulled out a taser. “DIE PURPLE DINOSAUR!” She screamed as she let loose everything to take him down. Helpless, Barney put his hands over his head, helpless.He let out a helpless scream and he passed out. Then he woke up on the floor, he looked around in bewilderment. As he heard silent chanting. He manages to look at his body, which was covered in the grossest red stuff he had ever seen! He realized that is was alone for the taser burns, he got up slowly as he walked around. It was dark in the room he was in. Then he realized that it wasn’t aloe, it was blood. He looked around more, worried, then he saw it. A pentagram on the ground. What is this? He thought. “Well well well… look who’s awake” “Where am I?” “Well Mr.Barney, you are in the most secret place in the world. Everyone wants to know how to get to where you are Mr. Barney.” “And where is that?” “Sesame Street!”
The second story wasn't that good. :P But if you guys want it badly I will post it.

"Circles"
Take my hand lets go, Somewhere we can rest our souls. We'll sit where it's warm, You say look we're here alone. [Chorus:] I was running in circles, I hurt myself, Just to find my purpose. Everything was so worthless, I didn't deserve this, But to me you were perfect. I'm scattered through this life. If this is life I'll say good-bye. She's gone like an angel, With wings let me burn tonight. [Chorus] I was running in circles I hurt myself, Just to find my purpose. Everything was so worthless, I didn't deserve this, But to me you were perfect. I see me writing on this paper. Praying for some savior. Wishing to intake her and save her. In a world so, so godless. so thoughtless, I don't know how we wrought this, All the love that you brought us. It feels like I'm killing myself. Just willing myself. Just to pray for some help. I'd give it all just to have, have your eternity. Cause it's all that assures me. It's worth all that hurts me. I'd give you my heart, And I'd let you just hold it. I'd give you my soul, But I already sold it. On that day That day I walked away in December. I will always remember. I'll regret it forever. I remember brown eyes, So sad and blue skies. Turned to darkness and night. I'm so sick of the fight. I won't breathe unless you breathe, Won't bleed unless you bleed. Won't be unless you be, 'Till I'm gone and I can sleep. [Chorus 2x] I was running in circles I hurt myself, Just to find my purpose. Everything was so worthless, I didn't deserve this, But to me you were perfect. I've gone away, Seen better times in yesterday (I hurt myself). It's hard to say, That everything will be okay (I hurt myself). I've gone away, Seen better times in yesterday (I hurt myself). It's hard to say, That everything will be okay (I hurt myself) This song is all about how messed up the person's life is. This person has hurt himself by some form, maybe cutting, and keep thinking there is no use to life. He says that if this is life he'll say goodbye. Does that mean that he doesn't want to live in the crummy life he is in now? This whole song in general is about a guy who has a crummy life and has cut himself. So that's what this song is in general. Prompt I am using: 1
The Thing By Seth Sprandel There was a tall skinny thing in my room. Standing in the corner of the room, surrounded by darkness. I’m scared of it, it has no face, no hair. Just a blank white face, staring at me. Help. At night, there are many things in my room. From my stuff animals to my night light. But one thing that I don't own is in there. It's a thing of some sorts, it's tall and skinny and it's surrounded by darkness. It has no face, no hair, just a blank face staring at me. Please, help me mom, dad, help... This little exercise taught me that there are many different ways to say your point. From writing a story in a informal way to say a story in a formal way. The main thing is that voice changes everyday while a person speaks. Say Mr. Kerr talks to us in a cool hipster way while talking to his boss, he might sound very formal. Overall, voice changes all the time and you can change voice in writings all the time. Many things have been going on that I can't really list all of them! I took into consideration of some of the things we talked about in class; theme, characterization, and conflict. So I would like to give a recap of the second part of the book, The Tortilla Curtain, so SPOILER ALERT!!!
America has had some rough times, from the men raping her and touching her. To Delaney and his frantic mind. The second part was a really rough time for all the characters. But it seems the conflict is still the same old thing. Surviving in America as a illegal immigrant, and the struggle with living in a gated community. Also the same old conflict of the horrible stereotype of illegal immigrants. America must be terrified for her life trying to get home from work everyday. Because some perverted, old, men usual try and chase her down. To either rape or talk to dirty to her. Besides that horrible stuff, America has to take care of Candido. This is how far I've read in this book. This book is a very emotional book, isn't it. Well, I am going to read more of the book. Until the next part is finished; I will write another blog post. I have been reading The Tortilla Curtain lately in class, I thought I would explain what has been going on in my book. Just as warning, SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!
The book starts with one of the main characters, Delaney, hitting the other main characters, Candido, with a car. Candido is alright but Delaney is worried sick about him. Candido gets up in bad shape but alright. Candido gets $20 from Delaney as a sorry and leaves. Delaney drives home in a gated community while Candido goes to valley that he camps in. While Delaney has troubles with his life, Candido struggles to survive with America. That is what I have read so far. Stereotypes have been around for a long time, from all African American people like fried chicken and how Chinese people are smart. But I'm going to talk about some of the stereotypes that people have said to me.
Some of them are, "You are fat, so you can't run." and "You are weird since you play a card game." I have also seen some of my friends with some stereotypes thrown at them. Like, "All Thomasboro kids are stupid and, blah, blah, blah." I think we can get rid of them by telling people who you look up too to help you. Like a teacher or your parents. Chin-Kee looks like an idiot when I first saw him. He seems like he can't talk correctly and doesn't know right from wrong. He seems huge, so is that a stereotype that all Chinese people are huge? The author did this so he can show what people think of Chinese people. So he can try to get rid of those stereotypes. I mostly remember where my Dad came from so I'll kinda some my Dad's life up. He said we came from Germany, we are either German or Irish, I can't remember. After a while, on my dad's side of the family, my grandmother gave birth to my Dad in Tiffin, Ohio. He grew up there for a while with his older sister and brother. Then they moved to Illinois, I don't know why but they moved to Ponitiac.
Now, I don't know much about my Biological mom, all I know is that my biological mom and dad met somewhere and had me and my sister Mckenna. I was born in Champaign and raised in Thomasboro. Then something happened and they got divorced, and after a while, my dad met my step-mom. They got married and had my little sister Raegyn. Now we all live in the same house we all lived since I was a baby. And we lived happily ever after. I think they got here by plane or something during the 1960's or something. They got here and lived here ever since. I only know so much since I asked only bits and pieces. I might ask my Dad more since Mr. Kerr brought this up. But overall, this is my family lineage. In class I have been learning how to write. It's has been very crucial for me. It's been very helpful to learn how to write different papers. Like don't use I, me, you, ect, while writing a formal paper. And not to use certain words to start sentences, like but and "and". Overall, learning how to write is a very good skill for me and writing papers!
We just got finshed reading Romeo and Juliet in class so I thought that I will give a little reflection over it!
When reading Romeo and Juliet, I thought that Romeo and Juliet were making rash decisions when they first met. To kissing when they first met and getting married the second day, it seems like that they were taking it way to fast. Also, the more I read of Romeo and Juliet, it was easier to read Shakespeare in my mind. Like I was having a easier time reading what they meant when they said different things. Overall, reading Romeo and Juliet makes me feel like accomplished something. And makes it easier to read Shakespearean. |
