Favorite and least favorite assignments

FAVORITE:
My favorite assignment of the year was the comic strips! i had so much fun with that and i thought that a lot of them were really funny. i even liked just laughing with people about there art work! I thought it was so funny!! So many people got so creative with that and really did some great work.

I couldn't decide so i have another favorite. POETRY!!!!!!!! the entire unit was great! everyone had so much fun with that. I think if i didn't have a phone go off in the middle of my reading, then i could have given Katey a run for her money! ha! I loved righting my own poetry though. i also liked listening to everyone else poems because there were some really good ones. I thought that all the ways you (Mrs. gilman) tried to make us remember our poems, some of us were hopeless though, even with no cell phone interruption! haha


LEAST FAVORITE:
I HATED 5 PART PARAGRAPHS!!!!!!!!!!!! if you don't agree then you are completely and totally insane! they are pointless and just made every paper sound the same. I think that when we are writing we should have much more freedom. I hope i never have to do those again, but i will next year. they just kept coming back. every time we think we were done with them we would have to do another one and another one and another one!!! i have strong feelings about these, obviously.

OBWAT

I think this movie is full of awkward pauses and random moments that people find very funny these days. The point were the three girls are singing at the river was kind of freaky though. I also Think it is really weird that Pete just jumps out of the car as soon as he sees them. Stocker? One of the funniest parts in the move comes right after that, when Pete is "turned into a toad". That was really funny. I really don't see a lot of the movie comparing easily to The Odyssey. Maybe thats just me.

Epic Simile

( i didn't know if the first would work and i liked doing these so here is another)

I just did a painting. The feeling I got was like winning a noble prize. The adrenalin rushing though your vains as you walk onto the stage to accept your trophy from the old, shrivled up man. Your smile is from ear to ear and you have never felt happier. You are so proud of your end result, after hours in the lab. You step back and admire your art work.

Epic Simile

When I walked onto the alpaca farm for the first time the stench was like a lemon, slowly beginning to rot in the bowl. A smell that forced your lunch back up your throat, rapidly. Trying so hard not to vomit all over the greened lemon. You can never get it out of head. Piercing your nose; stinging your senses. As your head starts to ache, you finally dispose of the terrible old fruit and leave the farm.

Extra Credit

Ok
the final scene. what to say about the final? well.. it was different. i kinda thought it was just a blob of stupid chaos. it is just overkill. i mean what is the point in having lady cap. die? there isn't a good reason.

maybe shakespeare got really depressed, cause he got in a fight with his dad or something, when he wrote this. it really did not make sence to me
he should have focused more on romeo and juliets death.

COMMENT!!!!

Cody and the chocolate covered raisins

Ok I know it is short but it works :)

This video represents Romeo and Juliet because I want the raisins, just like Romeo wants Juliet, but can not get them because I am locked inside. In Romeos case he would be locked in Mantua. at the end I am not able to get the raisins so I over react and kill myself. This is exactly what happens to romeo with Juliet.

ROMEO AND JULIET: Act 2

Well...
In act 2 I am sitting here thinking about what it would be like to be at a party and meet a girl that you really like and get to know her, only to find out that it is someone that you have been told to hate all your life. It would really be a weird thing for me. I couldn't imagine it really. After the party, he starts looking for her. I would probably not do that, in fact I think that might be a little scary. Thinking about just falling in love with someone you have hated forever. I would not be walking around looking for her but going home and taking a nap. that would be a very long day and I would not be able to stay up dealling with it more.

I have never really had anything happen to me, like this at least. I have not ever fallen in love, I mean I am only 14, and I understand that Juliet is only 14 aswell. I have liked girls that my friends didn't like but I don't really care what they think.

Has this ever hapend to you?

Shaksperian Stories

Ummm...
What?
ok lets see.
I got it! I will talk about Pearl Harbor. I love that movie. :) In the movie, there are two lovers that can not be together because he "dies" at war. this movie is so great because it also includes a love triangle. After his death, she falls in love with his best friend. When they find out that he is still alive a huge conflict is created. It is really cool.

I am not really familair with any shakseperian plays that use bolth plots but it would be cool if there were one.

Have you ever seen Pearl Harbor? Did you like it? Do you have any comment at all about what I just wrote? these are some GREAT question to ask your self as you comment! :)

Desterbing

OK REALLY??? common, its not like we all don't agree. is it not obvious that the saddest part is when the puppies are takin away from jessy!!!!

Im just kidding!! (its ok to loll) Boxers death was by FAR the saddest part of the book! this just further proves my point that Snowball needs to destroy Napolean!!!! i NO U ALL think it is true. all these other animals are just stupid. the pig is destroing ur life!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i thought that there wasn't even sapposed to be leader!

ANYWAYS, back to earth. we all no that boxer gets sent to the glue factory. ='{ The dump part is that his life is worth the same as a bit if whiskey to Napolean! wat a pig!!! Boxer was my favorite character but now he is gone!! I lov ehis motto "i will work harded!" i think everyone should have a mindset like Boxers.

Soo ya like we all aren't gunna have the same answer for this one!

Freewrite ANIMAL FARM

In aniaml farm so far i thought that the way that the Russian Revolution was show was amazing!!! I quickly relized that it is all is exact same! IT got quite boring!!!!!!!
I personally hate Napolean. I think he is a nasty animal and I wish that Snowball would come in and over run him. not much else to write about!

WHAT DO U THINK???
