sonnet

Music gives me a free enjoyable light
When i listen to the words it gives me beat
Sometimes it gives me a great funny felling
The words of the music gives me beat by beat
Some songs are very energitic beat

Music gives you something to do when you are borde
It is also something to life for in your life
Music is everybodies life to live with

outside reading book

I read The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.  Hunger Games is about how twelve different districts are to fight with each other, until they die.  One of the charachers in the book steps in and takes her sister place to go and win the games for here.  Katniss done this before and she usually servived the games and won them.  Now she is with this boy and his name is Peeta and he is one weird guy to be on the games.  Their tutor wants to be toghter while they are trying to win for the games.  Later in the book they start to like each other and become love birds.

1. I was so suprised how Katniss and Peeta were able to win the games with out gating killed by the other districts.  The way they were always staying out of the other peoples way not to get killed and die for thier family.
2. I wonder how they were able to be so good at working toghter and  not get killed by the others.  It was a good idea to put Katniss and Peeta together for the games, because then they were able to support each other the whole time.
3. I like to know why Peeta loves Katniss so much and can't be without her all the time of his life.  Maybe Peeta loves Katniss' because she is the only girl that understands his feelings.  Katniss was his love at first sight when they come to the captiol. 
4. If I were in Katniss shoes in the story I would it killed every body on the first day and than spin some time with Peeta and kill some other people.
5. Know I'm not sure wats going to happen between Katniss and Peeta in the second book.

Journey of Epic Fantasies

When you pick me up
I feel heavy
When you flip through me
You wonder what will happen next

When you decipher me
You find out the secrets of life
When you conceive
You think what will happen in the end

When you look between the lines
You find more facts of life
When you feel me
You wonder what I was made of

When you study me
You wonder how your future will be

Dear Mom and Dad,
           
          Mom and Dad, how would you like to let me and Sveta go on a two week vacation to Miami Beach, Florida?  It will be a great idea to let me and Sveta go on vacation, while you and Dad can spin some time with the younger onces.  Why I want to go on a two week vacation with my sister, because we really don't spin that much time together when we are at home.  I want to go to  Miami Beach, Florida with my sister because i would like to get out of Kansas and not have to worry about school work.

         Now I know what you guys are going to say about me taking a thirteen year old on vacation for two weeks.  You are going to say that I am not responsible and don't have the money to pay for all the plane tickets and hotel to stay in.  On the other hand I might say, Mom and Dad you can trust me to take good care of Sveta.  My sister and I would like to get some time together, before it's too late in life.

         Why I want to take a two week vacation to Miami Beach, Florida is that I don't want to be in Kansas and just be bored for at least the two weeks of being at home and doing nothing.  Miami Beach, Florida is a lot of fun, than flat Kansas.  There so much you can do in Florida, then Kansas.  There are some things that you can do in Kansas and that is go to the parkwith your family and friends.  You can also go bike reading on the trail behind the house.  On the other hand you can relax on the beach, enjoy the sun and go shopping with your friends.  You can also learn the different culture of Florida and how people dress in that state.  The other reason I want to go to Miami Beach, Florida is really want to enjoy some peace and quit from the house and my siblings. 

            Mom and Dad if Sveta and I decide to go to Miami Beach, Florida for two weeks, than we won't have to worry about doing homework and going to work after school.  We would used that vacation for some relaxed time and enjoying the sun and the warm weather.  Doing homework is just waste of time and not enough to relax in the end, so this would be great thing for us to do.  Sometimes homework is fun and sometimes you need to get away from it for maybe two weeks or more.  It will help use not to be so frustrated, when we have homework to do or not to do when we are in Florida. 

              Mom and Dad I just want to tell you that I would like to take me and Sveta to Miami Beach, Florida for two weeks, because than you can have some time for yourself or spent some time with the younger ones.  I just would like to spin more time with my sister, than is at home where we got no time for our self during the weekend or sometimes even in the summer time too.


Your loving daughter:

Caesar essay

Marina Quick

Mr. Allam

English II

11 March, 2011

People of Rome, do you know what friendship means to you? I am Caesar and I am telling you what I learned about friendship, after I died.  To me the meaning of friendship is when someone is being honest and faithful to each other. 

Brutus thinks that it’s okay to lie to your friend and be unfaithful.  How he did this was by back stabbing me and planning to kill me behind my back.  Brutus also thinks that it’s okay to lie. I disagree, because treating friends like this will hurt other people. 

Being honest is really important because, than you can trust your friend with things like telling them secrets and they are always there to stand up to you when you are in a bad situation. When Caesar’s ghost came to Brutus, he realized that he shouldn’t kill his best friend.  Brutus knew he made a mistake, and he didn’t listen to other people. In ACT three Antony said “he was my friend, faithful and just to me” (ACT. 3, SC.2 What Antony is saying is, my friend was honest to me when he lived.  I Caesar would like to say that a true was Antony, because he was always there for me and he was also honest to me.  Also be a friend who is honest and true.

Being faithful to your friends is also important because, if your friends are not faithful to you than they are not called your friends.  My friend Antony was faithful to me, when I was in bad situations.  Brutus was faithful to me, but then I realized that he was never faithful to me.  The only person that was faithful to me was my friend Antony.  Someone that’s faithful to you, it’s easier for you to trust them with things.  In ACT three Antony said “Brutus is an honorable man”(ACT.3 SC.2)  What he says here is that my friend was an honorable man, but Brutus was not an honorable man.  Be very careful who you choose to be your friend. 

I Caesar tell you this, that to be very careful to pick your friends.  It’s really important to have friends that are faithful to you and that are honest to you too.  Don’t ever trust people that are going to back stab you, just like Brutus did to me.

 This is the third book by Christopher Paolini and its really good to read, because then you get a little bit of fantacy while you read the book.  So what happened in the book is that Eragon and Saphira are back with the elves.  Eragon's cousin and his lover Katerina is there and Rogan and Katerina are going to get married.  Eragon is still looking for a good sword to use aganist his brother and the king.  The battle is going aganist the dragon rider and his dragon.  Eragon still has fellings for Arya the elf.  So far the book is really good.

Dear Portia,

My husband is not being really fair with me and he is not telling me how is troubled sometimes.  I also think that he really doesn't want to know that he is an danger and he also doesn't know how I fell about it.  I worry about him alot and it kills me sometimes in side, like he doesn't care about what i say to him, that might affect him.  So i ask you for some advice of what I can do, to help my husband to understand me and make him see how I fell about him.
 Yours,
Calphurnia


Dear Calphurnia,
I have the same problem as you do with my husband too.  He is were unfair with me and seems like he doesn't care how I fell about him.  The advice i would give you is try to be nice to him and that might get to understand you more.  Don't be to hard on him, when he is worried with something, and also tell him how much you love him.  I did the same thing with my husband about every day that he gets home.  I try to do my best to tell him that I'm there for him at all times.  I also have the same problem that you do, when he is not telling you something that's going on with him.
Yours,
Portia

Letter to Dr. Berry

Most of this semester the students have been playing in the snow or hanging out with their friends.  This year in Olathe we had six snow days and the teachers have not been able to teach us during the six days of snow days.  We should not have two more extra days added to our summer, because than we will be able to hang out with our friends more and spend more time with our families that we don't see that much during the summer.

Some people might say that having two more days added to our summer vacation is the right thing, because than we can have our education completed for the days we missed, but I disagree because if we do have to more days added to our summer than our vacation will be short and we won't have time to do things with our family and friends.  The some things we won't ably to do with our family and friends is stay out more and do two our more days of vacation.  Other people might still say that we need two more days added to our summer vacation.

If Dr. Berry addend’s two more days to our summer vacation, than we will have a shorter vacation with our families.  Some families might already have plans to go on a big vacation for the summer ones we are out of school.  It might be very hard on the students and the teacher to stay two more extra days in school.  The other thing that families might want to do this summer is enjoy each other’s company inside or outside.  I have heard this before by someone that said "summer is your summer so used it will".  Summer is meant for memories and fun for one another

It doesn't seem really fair that the student's and the teacher should have two more days added to their summer, because the teachers and student don’t need to worry about doing homework for the next day.  The other thing that the teacher doesn’t want to do is nag the student’s about homework and other things.   The reason I'm saying this, is that I don't want the teacher’s to be stress over grading the homework and nagging the student’s at school.  The teacher and student's need to take a break from school and enjoy their summer.

It's just seem really unfair for the teacher and student's to be in school for two more extra days, because of the snow days.  There are people that are already having plans to go on long vacation and spin more time with their families and friends.

  

Eragon by: Christopher Paolini

My rating system for this book is five stars, because it's really good and it talks about different things like dragons and other legend thigs.  I also think that some guys would acually read this kind of books if they wanted to now about dragons and legends. 

How did you come with this kindof story of dragons and other legend things for this book?
How were you able to come with this book title?
How long did it take to right the book?

"As soon as you return home, get rid of it."  To me it means that Eragon needs to get rid of the stone, so that he and his uncle don't get hurt from the strangers.

I picked the peace symbol because i love to have peace in the world with other people around me.  It's symbolies our friendship and love to each other in life.
