Lamb to the Slaughter

At the end of “Lamb to the Slaughter” by Ronald Dahl, Mary Maloney begins giggling because she has murdered her husband and so far gotten away with it. Mary Maloney also begins to giggle because the cops have not found any evidence. Not only have they not found the evidence but they are in her kitchen eating the evidence. Mary Maloney has murdered her husband with a frozen lamb leg and throws it in the oven. Then offers the police men to eat the dinner to show them respect and gratefulness for helping search for her “husband’s murderer”. The police men while eating the lamb question and reply to each other, finally one of them says that the evidence is probably right beneath their noses. That is the main reason why Mary Maloney begins to giggle.

Situational Irony in My Life.

Situational irony occurs at least every other day in my life but one time it was that it was very bad was about a time ago. So I was going to school doing my regular habitual schedule then all of a suddden i got sick and had to go home.

Persuasive Project Topic Request

After reviewing the Voxopop discussion, I would like to persuade people to be houseparents or why they should be, to work as teachers at SPA, or to persuade people to donate to the facility and it's clients. You may listen to my class’s discussion here
(Discussion » Houseparents, Discussion » Teacher, Discussion » Donate )

First Persuasive Paragraph

Students should be given money to buy gifts for their Friends, because for some students allowance isn’t enough when holidays come around. Students are able to work for money, but some students are too focused on school and studies. Other students are either too young or busy with other extracurricular activities or hobbies. This situation puts them in a position in which, unless they save their allowance, they do not have enough money to afford gifts for their friends. Students aren’t expected to buy gifts for friends, but since they are older now it is a sign of respect and being grateful for the person who the gifts are for. It is also a nice thing to do. If there is no money in a student’s wallet there is no gifts for they are no gifts for their friend. Handmade gifts are possible but to other students it may seem a bit childish and strange. That’s why there should be a little help from others to students in need of money.

SPA Movie & Games Day Paragraph.

Well I like to classify myself under the category “Honest”, so on Friday when I arrived at school, late of course because I was feeling very pessimistic and lazy. I saw Mr. Walker and he said to me “go in there”. When Griselda and I took a look inside, I’m not sure what she saw, but what I saw was horrible. There were kids scattered all over the floor! So we sat there on the floor and watched “Freedom Writers” a movie. Then after about two hours it was over. After that we had to go to the gym. My buddy and I who shall not be named decided we did not want to there we wanted to go home instead. So in a desperate attempt to escape the gym I went out the front doors so did my buddy. My buddy made it through Mr. Walker but he stopped and said “this is the place to be”. Shortly after my buddy appeared Mr. Walker had gotten my buddy. So we stayed in the gym watching kids play and make fools out of themselves. It was torture but we made it through the day! Frankly it was oine of the worse days of my life.

The Bass, the River, and Shelia Mant’ Airhead Stereotype.

’The Highwayman’ and ‘Typhoid Fever’ Comparison.

Some of the similarities from The highwayman and Typhoid Fever are that both female characters die. Also both sets of character are forbidden to talk to each other but they still try to find a way to do so. The way they die, however, is very different “Patricia “From Typhoid Fever has a sickness on her way to the lavatory she struggles. She does not want to use the bedpan next to her bed, she rather use the lavatory when she finally makes it there she falls and dies. “Bess” From The Highwayman dies when she is tied down with a musket pointing at her and is basically forced to kill herself. A difference in the stories is that only one of the males die in the stories. The male that dies is from the story The highwayman he becomes shot.

Typhoid Fever’– Present Tense Childhood Memory.

I am three years old. I am standing and sort of hanging on to the wire door in front of my grandma’s house. I stand there keeping watch, I see my family and they seem to be having a great time together. Suddenly I hear church bells. They are very vague and far but, they can still be heard. My uncles, aunts, parents and grandparents seem surprised. I see my uncles and my mom pull a little clear plastic bag. Out of the bag come out a variety of decorated cardboard made into different shapes. Squares, triangles, octagons, polygons, cylinders, circles, even small rockets and long sticks that resemble that of incense sticks. A sudden instinct of mine tells me to head out there with them. I do as my instinct tells me and I follow. Out the door I go suddenly I run to my mom who by now is lighting up one of the cardboard pieces. I am startled by the sound of the cardboard shooting up into the sky and blowing up in to millions of colorful sparks in the dark sky. I run screaming back into the house and standing back in my safe spot right behind the wire door. I hear my mom scream at me “That’s what you get I told you to stay inside!”

The Cold Equations’ – Marilyn’s Point of View.

In the commander's point of view it's difficult to kill or get rid of Marilyn, the stowaway, because he's never had to deal with a girl stowaway. This makes him emotionally hard and difficult for him to throw her out. Marilyn's point of view may have been that it was very difficult for the man to get rid of her

The Storyteller’ - Memorable Books from My Childhood.

1. Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt
2. Corduroy by Don Freeman
3. Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak
4. Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls
5. The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle


The story I have selected from my top five list is Corduroy by Don Freeman. This story is about a bear named Corduroy, who wears a green corduroy with a missing button. This causes a little girl named Lisa’s mother to not buy the bear for Lisa. At night when all the customers, shoppers and employees have left the shop, Corduroy comes off his shelf and searches for his missing button. Corduroy ends up in the furniture department trying to find a button to replace his, he then breaks a lamp while trying to pull one off a mattress. A security guard hears the crash and then finds Corduroy, he brings him back to his shelf in the toy department. The next day Lisa comes back with enough money that she’s saved in her piggy bank. She takes Corduroy home. I chose this book, because when I was younger and to this day, I felt like Corduroy and I had something in common. Corduroy was left in the store with hopes of being bought by Lisa. This kind of, for some strange reason, reminds me of the times my mom would forget me in the sock and underwear section of Wal-mart and Kmart. In the end some nice stranger would take me to the front and find my mom for me or I would just cry and scream for her until the cops came. After a while I kind of knew she was going to find me, actually it's the other way around, I was going to find her. At the end of the story Lisa came back for Corduroy and I feel that we relate in this way.

In the conflict between Jing-mei and her mother, Jing-mei is right to blow up on her mother about not wanting or trying to be a prodigy. For example, she talks about how wanted to and was even excited about being a prodigy, but her mother out of selfishness pushes her to hard towards that dream, plan, goal, etc. Whatever you want to call it.

“Two Kinds” In the Shoes of a Prodigy

If I was ever expected to become a prodigy, I would be highly upset. I don’t know what type of prodigy people would push me to be. I don’t have the greatest talents. So that might be difficult. I am really not the type of person that wants to be pushed to do something. It makes me so angry when people push me around. After a while of being pushed around I’ll eventually get tired of it and, explode. When I explode it’s really bad. Sometimes it’s so bad to the point where the person I told off, no longer wants to talk to me. When I think about it, though, if it was something that I really wanted, I would do it regardless of the people or the way that they are pushing me towards it.

“My Input for Staff-Teacher Conferences”

My grade in Ms. Priester’s class is not the greatest. I feel like this is because, when I blog or write I want to speak my mind. Knowing myself, I would know that by speaking my mind I’m going to get in to trouble with Ms. Priester. Therefore when I blog for Ms. Priester. I try to not as much emphasis on my posts. Also I’m not so great with blogging. My strength’s in this class would be reading and my creativity. These things come in handy when I am posting certain blogs or making storybird’s for class assignments. The challenges I face in Ms. Priester’s class are that I am easily distracted by everything (Heather Wilson). Blogging is also, once again, a big issue. I feel that in order to earn a higher grade my blogs should be better and I should try hard to focus. I really don’t like adults helps but my morning staff, Jen.

A time were I have had conflict is pretty much all the time. The biggest conflict that I have to deal with. Is dealing with how to say “no” to people. People usually take advantage of me because I cant say no. The reason I cant say no is because I feel like I am going to upset people or hurt their feelings. I am a very sensitive person so I don’t like it when people are mad or upset with me. So saying “no” to people is a huge conflict

Character Analysis of Heather

Heather (girls 6), is the student that I have chosen to write about on this campus. So Heather is a great person, at least for me, to talk to. Heather is very loving and caring even though at times she can be really mean to me. In the end it really doesn’t matter how mad we are at each other because, eventually we end up together again. Heather is like one of my missing quarters; her and I think about the same things and, come up with the same ideas. It’s very strange but at the same time it’s pretty awesome. So those are some of Heather’s traits.

“Everyday Use" Character to Person Comparison Paragraph.”

Jen, our morning staff in girls four, is like the mom in the story. Jen always stands up for us. In the story the mom loves and would do anything for her daughters. Jen treats as we were her own daughters, she’s always advocating for us. Specially me. She’s been through so much throughout her life and still has a strong and caring character. The mom in the story has somewhat of a similarity with this. They have differences though. Jen has a very sarcastic sense of humor 99.9% of the time. It’s really hard to take her seriously unless, were having a one on one conversation. The mom in the story seems serious most of the time.

Everyday Use from Dee's Point of View

My name is Dee I was invited by my mother to come back home so I did but I brought a friend along. When my friend tried to introduce himself to my sister Maggie, she got scared and ran away from him. Maggie is covered with scars. This happened in the last house we lived in. I didn’t like that house much so I did not care about it burning, but my sister was burned too. She has scars and is jealous of the fact that I don’t have any. I grabbed some quilt from a trunk in Maggie’s room and took them mom told me to put them back but I thought that they’d be better off with me. So mom snatched them and gave them back to Maggie. It was my grandma’s tradition to pass those quilts down to the next generation. So in the end I left their home.

“Everyday Use” Before You Read: Traditions and Heirlooms.

I personally didn’t grow up with any traditions, nor did I have family heirlooms. The only tradition we had, was to get together as a whole family every holiday. This tradition was broken though, but if it was up to me, I would’ve kept it going. So maybe when I start a family of my own I’ll decide to make this tradition. The same way it was for me when I was younger. If anything of value to me ever becomes so important that I feel it should be passed on, then it will be. So until then, when something of importance comes up, or, I finally make a family of my own, then I will figure things out about traditions and heirlooms.

Character Prior Knowledge Paragraph about Tom Benecke

9/11 Paragraph

I went around campus asking staff about their feelings towards 9/11. All the people I talked to seem to tell me the same thing. They thought the United States was under attack. I talked to my morning staff, Jen, about it the most. Jen told me that she was at home when she found out. She got a call from a relative telling her that the United States was under attack. Jen tried to wake up her boyfriend, but didn’t succeed, she then got her baby, sat on the couch, and turned the television on. Jen then saw all over how the twin towers were being attacked. She told us how that day was very unusual no one knew what to do that day they just stayed home. That was Jen’s perspective on the 9/11 attacks.

The Story of Willy/ Vocab Story

There once lived a zany man his name was, Willy, and he rode the bus. The bus and route number was 303.

One day while he was waiting for the 303, a man stepped up to him and told him that the buses had rescinded. Willy was upset.

Relatives came to clean up the house and to throw a sad party for him. They abducted some of Willy’s belongings and left that was the end of that and everybody lived happily ever after.

Mouse in the Café Short Story

Once upon a time in a little place called San Pasqual academy lived a mouse up in the “Cyber Café”, his name was “Hairy” and he ate all the food up in the café and to make matters worse, Hairy, left droppings and huge amounts of hair around the food. This was a huge problem for the staff and students.

One fine day, Billy and Boblynn were working up in the café. When all of a sudden Boblynn slipped on a couple of Hairy’s dropping’s. Billy was disgusted by this but still helped Boblynn up from the floor. The day went by as it usually did, but during lunch time a bunch of kids were suddenly barfing everywhere. Everybody was blaming it on the curse of the evil hell master shippalappadingdong. Staff soon realized, however, that there were huge amounts of mouse hair. They were disgusted and were skeptical about what to do with Hairy. The next day came by, it was morning and everybody was great. The staff in the café were ready to cook for the kids and get breakfast ready. When Sebastian Starr opened the refrigerator, he was in shock and disbelief; all of the food was gone or destroyed. Hairy appeared to have eaten all the food or left dropping’s and large amounts of hair on it or near it. Sebastian Starr was in such shock he fainted at the sight of such horrid thing.

The staff in the café had a meeting about Hairy they came to a conclusion. They decided that they would call an exterminator, and put Hairy to sleep.

Hairy heard everything that went on in the meeting. Hairy decided that he would make a getaway plan. Hairy’s plan was to run out into the dumpsters until the exterminator left the café. Then he would successfully go back into the café and continue with his old routine. The day the exterminator came Hairy ran out and jumped into the dumpsters he swam in the garbage for hours he thought it was great. After an hour or so he saw the exterminator leave the café. He went back into the café through his secret passage. The next day Boblynn, Billy, and Sebastian Starr, found hairy taking a deep nap in a pile of shredded cheddar cheese. They cornered him and decided to take him out. Suddenly Hairy woke up and tried to escape but he couldn’t so instead he pleaded to be given another chance.

Hairy and the three staff members had a talk. They all decided that they would give all the scraps of food and leftovers to Hairy and his new home would be the dumpsters where he would be happy. Hairy lived a long and happy life in the dumpsters and got eating by a snake two months later. The End.

Psychiatric Center for Research on Regressive Tendencies.

In my opinion the Psychiatric Center for Research on Regressive Tendencies building must ,most likely, be run by some type of robots. They are supposed to be robots,so as far as I'm concerned, robots don't wear clothes.The way the story is described with robots as cop cars, it's very much likely that there will be robots managing the regressive research center. The building probably looked like an insane asylum from the outside and maybe like a lab with machines on the inside. It may have large rooms with just bed and a robot watching the person at all times.That is my opinion on how the regressive research center would look like.

Purpose of 'The Pedestrian

Ray Bradbury may have written this story thinking that in the future, life would be very simple. This meaning that there just won’t be much to do as he explains in the book with his characters. In the book there is one man though, who acts like people, “From the past” did, and he is stopped by a “cop”. The man is stopped for walking in the street and is called regressive. So Ray Bradbury might have written the story, thinking that in the future, people’s lifestyles may change, tremendously, but in reality they haven’t changed much from before. He also may have written this book on order to try and keep people’s lifestyles the way that they are now or before. Whatever the reason, nothing has really changed and I don’t really expect a lot more change in the future

Life in 2053 – “The Pedestrian” Before You Read.

In 2056 I expect life in America to be the same, but technology will still probably go on strong, and advance. I don’t expect much of a change maybe with economy. We have problems already so it might be even harder in the future or maybe the other way around. Maybe it’ll be an old problem from the past. Even though technology maybe advanced I still don’t believe that there’ll be flying cars or things that fly, other than airplanes! I hope, however, that life in America in the year of 2056 is somewhat easier for people. Economy wise and peace wise it’s horrible that people that shouldn’t be gaining power are gaining power. I hope that in the future this changes and the world can honestly be a better place.

"Contents of a Dead Man's Pocket" Plot Diagram

Paralyzed by Fear

One time in which I was paralyzed by fear was when I was six, It all started out around three o’clock in the afternoon, my sister, who was probably in sixth grade wanted to make a candle for her teacher, but she wasn't allowed to by my parents, she did it anyway and told me to go into my mom and dad’s room. So then a couple of minutes later I decided to go out and see what she was doing, and then suddenly I see this big orange light. I walked into the kitchen and then I saw this fire burning on top of the stove and my sister was freaking out. So I just stood there, crying watching this fire burn, and finally some lady came and carried me out. Then I really freaked out so I was screaming and kicking her, and then she told me to calm down. So then the cops and firefighters came, and since my mom and dad weren’t home, it was considered child neglect, and my sister and I got taken away to Polinsky, and put into the system for my first time. The End!

Friends or Studying paragraph

Well, this is a funny, prompt because this happens to me every other day. The honest truth though, is actually pretty sad. When one of my friend’s shows up or asks me to hang out with them I tell them I don’t feel good or that I’m doing homework when in reality, I’m tired and I’m going to bed, most of the time that’s the case. Sometimes I’m just lazy and I tell the staff to tell friends that I am not home but, either way I’m always so tired that I rather sleep than hang out with friends or do homework, but I eventually get to doing homework around four in the morning and hanging out with friends that just happens whenever time goes by slow, which is like never in my world, but whatever. So whenever I don’t do my homework Ms. Priester or hang out with you friends, you know why now. Now you know so there you have it.

Plot Change paragraph

The decision Tom Benecke made was to hold on tight by the window and wait until he got someone’s attention or until his wife came back from the theatre. No one ever looked up and his wife wasn’t back for at least another three hours. So he decides to break the window and he makes it into his house, and then he goes out to look for his wife. In my case, I wouldn’t even hold on I’d just be thinking in my “well you know it was an alright life could’ve been better, but oh well here I go” or “Ugh I hope they don’t miss me too much.” Or maybe something a little like “Dude!! What am I doing? I’m to fat to be doing this!” and then eventually I’d just let the air and wind do whatever they wanted to, which of course would be throw me and then I’d fall and die. All, because I didn’t want to struggle. Then my wife would come home to find the cops saying I killed myself basically, and that’s how the plot would change.

Yellow Paper Narrative

If I were to risk my life for one item, it wouldn't be anything that I own now because I've kind of acquired all the things I have on my own during the couple of years that I've been in the system. So there's nothing that I would really risk my life for,but if there was an item that I would risk my life for. It would have to be very valuable it would probably be an item that my sister,Jess, gave me, because almost everything she gives me is important and it has a lot of sentimental value. So that would probably be the only excuse for me risking my life.

Free Write/ The Pier

When I was living with my parents, my dad started taking me to the beach all of a sudden, not to swim or build sandcastles though, but to go on the pier. My dad took me to, I guess, somehow teach me a survival type of skill. It didn’t matter if the sun was out, or, if it was nine in the morning or ten in the evening, he had hopes to make me a good fisher and caster. It didn’t take him long to teach me, or for me to learn. I got the hang of things right away. By the second week I was really good at casting, I would cast far into the ocean and it made me so happy to see my dad be proud of me. I wasn’t a good fisher; however. I could only fish seaweed out of the ocean. After I got tired I would sit on the pier and let my feet dangle above the ocean, and my dad would watch me, just in case I were to fall through and land in the water. Well now I’m here so I can’t do that anymore, and because my dad doesn’t love me so if fall over there’ll be no one to save me but that’s ok! I guess.

Memorable Birthday Post

The most memorable birthday I think I've ever had was probably last year when I turned fourteen, it was the best yet, lamest, birthday party ever, because my house parents made this dinner and they got me balloons and I just felt good, because for the first time in my life my birthday was on time. What I mean by that is my birthday was actually paid attention to on the day of my birthday, not a week later! Well, that day my awesome. My house parents made me feel so happy and so did my house mates. It was not all that special but I felt really happy, because my birthday was acknowledged. It was also kind of a same old plain day, and I remember I went with Heather to her therapy and our house parent, Shelley, took us to this gas station to buy junk. It was a good birthday.

25 Random Things About Me

My Wordle

Embarrasing Moment Narrative

About four months ago, on a Sunday morning I was doing laundry and I didn’t have any clean pants so I was basically just walking around with boy shorts on and a huge Shirt to try and cover my legs, and the fact that I had no pants on. I was on my second load of laundry waiting for a pair of jeans to dry up, and suddenly somebody screams "Tyrell and Travonne are coming over here Chelsea!" so I freaked and I stood there paralyzed, and then they just try to come into the house so Abby tells them "wait we a naked person in the house" so as I am about to make a run to my room they peek into the window and totally just burst out laughing and come in the house. So then I tell Abby to get me a pair of pants, and she gives the pants to Travonne. I think that was really sad it was just one of the worst moments of my life and I hoped that it would never happen again, but it's happened a couple of times now so wishful thinking just doesn’t work.

Weekend Narrative Post

This weekend I went on pass for the first time in about six months.

We woke up the next day at 10:45 and talked all day until Spa picked me up; when I got home I unpacked and went to bed.

First Day Of School

My first day of school was pretty usual, what I. mean by that is it wasnt really anything exciting it was just whatever pretty much, because it's not like I'm going to a regular school no I get to see the same kids I saw yesterday and the day before that, but it was just another plain day where I had to get up early and actually do something for a change and so I went to school and was bored and didn't do much go to get my schedule went orientation and went home cause that's all there is to do on campus so.... that was it.

Today was a dumb day and in reality this whole week has been chaotic and dumb. I'm so sick of how everybody treats each other and how people don’t seem to care about each other’s feelings. I’m not saying I want fields of flowers and unicorns or rainbows nor do I want love or world peace, but I would definitely be happy with respect and kindness. To be completely honest I’m sick of this world it’s disgusting, don’t get me wrong, because externally the world is great but internally the world is REMARKABLY disgusting and it totally shocks me to think that we have to live in it year after year. Every January 1st around 12:00 a.m I cry myself to sleep because I can’t help but to think about what tragedy is going to strike this year, or about how many people I am going to lose this year about how many I lost the years before, I think about everything and all the things I’ve missed out on and am going to miss out on. I hope that every good thing that falls apart in our lives actually does catch up and make better things fall together.

BBQ/Prom Blog

I didnt go to prom because it was my friends birthday and i stayed with her and I was forced to go to the BBQ on friday so yeah it was boring and Spent pretty much all the time hiding in the back of the jumper so i wouldnt have to do sack racing which i was also forced to sign up for by ms.Priester but the rest of the day was just calm and plain and boring.

Value of Blogs

The value of blogs is very big,it is very helpful when it comes to school not only does it help with learning how to type but, it is also helpful to learn better vocabulary and better kids on their writing.Blogging is also helpful in school because this way kids can get their work and/or projects posted for their parents or guardians to see. It is also good because,teachers or tutors can see their students work to see how good it is or just to grade it. Therfore having school blogs is very very beneficial for school.

Business Letter

April 22, 2010

Mr. Ron Major
School Principal
San Pasqual Academy
17701 San Pasqual Valley Road
Escondido, CA 92025



Dear Mr. Ron Major:

I am writing to exclude seventh period from our after school schedule or as a mandatory after school class. Since you are the principal you have some control over what happens after school and seventh period is something that you have a lot of control over.

I would like to see this change occur because I believe that some of us have other things that we need to do or might want to do, some important some not but, either way I honestly think that if we didn’t do our homework or other school work we shouldn’t get another chance to do it. It is our grade and if we don’t do what we are told to do or supposed to do we fail that assignment or we don’t pass the school semester. A lot of kids don’t show up anyway and don’t really care about getting a day of restriction so it’s not fair to the teachers who try to help their kids out after school when their kids don’t even show up.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read my letter and maybe making a change. I look forward to having more time after school so I can hopefully handle my own personal business.

Sincerely,


Chelsea Martinez

Letter To Daughter

Dear daughter,
I have noticed that you seem to take interest in nothing but your "Myspace" account and Your "Facebook" account you spend hours everyday talking to people online, this as a result has caused you to back away from your social circle of friends, I have also heard a lot about cyber predators and i would not want you to get caught up in a situation like that so in order to protect you i have made up a plan consisting of rules to keep you safe and out of harm's way.
Firstly, my very first rule for you is not to give out our house phone number or address dont give out your personal cell phone number or your own house address because this could lead to somebody tracking you down and threatening you or abducting you, this could lead to many problems that i would not want you to go through.

Secondly, I know that a lot of teenage girls like to post vulgar pictures or comments, this will make you seem vulnerable and also make you look like an easy target. That is why I am asking you to not post any pictures or vulgar information, for this can cause a cyber predator to try to contact you online, if this case does happen where a stranger tries to contact you online tell me or another staff immediately, to prevent you from running into danger.Also when you add friends online make sur that they are actually who they say they are and if they seem to be suspicious delete them and block them.

Lastly, I want to ask you not to go online into random chat rooms or anything of that sort, because I have read and been told that cyber predators tend to linger in those kind of places and look for children or teenagers who seem vulnerable or easy to be lured into their traps.So for your own good and safety please watch out and be safe and careful.


Sincerely,
your houseparent

Yesterday I had an ok day I didn’t do much I went to group and sat there doing absolutely nothing but writing and then I went home. I was sad after group because of all the things they were talking about it all brought back a lot of horrible memories and I was really upset but then, Heather came along and we were talking and walking around campus till eight thirty afterward we both went home I talked to my sister Jess and I might go on pass this weekend or the next and then I was happy. I did my chores and all the regular things I do before I go to sleep and then I finally went to sleep like at ten thirty.

To Ms. Priester

Dear Ms. Priester ,
I’m really sincerely sorry that I’ve been late to your class for the last two weeks. I know it affects my grade, which in the future will affect my life and my career, maybe, most likely, but, even though it affects me more than anybody else in my life, I know you get mad at me for coming into class late and I’m so very sorry but, lately everything seems to be going wrong in the mornings. Here are my excuses that I know you’re going to love to read, for example, one time I was leaving my house and, I realized I was missing my shoes. So then I went back to get them then I went to the office, then I was late. Yesterday my clothes decided to not fit me for the day and I was so mad, and then I had to go to the office, so I was late again. I am late to your class because, I always have to go to the office before third period which is your period so that’s why I am always late to your class if I don’t got to the office then a supervisor/manager decides to make a big deal out of it because, I didn’t get a snack. Regardless, of my excuses I am very sorry that I am always late.

JFK timeline

Chelsea M. on Dipity.

The earthquake hit yesterday April, 04, of 2010 it was about 3:40 in the afternoon and I wasn’t expecting it to happen, the day was bright, calm and relaxing. The feeling wasn’t strange to me. The ground shook it felt like that of an elevator when it goes down and shakes a little it lasted for a couple of seconds, even though it is very immature of me to have done this my reaction to my housemates was a burst of laughter because they were over-reacting over the whole thing, it was also very stupid of me because, my next reaction was to run outside laughing at all the girls that were screaming that they were going to die. Now, I am very scared for the people that are really close to the places like, Calexico and Mexicali, because there has been lots of aftershocks and I wouldn’t want them to go through a major disaster.

Yesterday I went outside and that was pretty much it. At night time though, when it was roomtime. Abby and I were really bored so I started making these weird noises and then, Abby was screaming and making some really weird nioses it sounded like she was dying so then we started laughing really weird and we started laughing even more then our staff came in to the room, basically told us to shut up so we went to sleep

Cyber predators.

If my friend told me that he or she were planning to or going to meet up with somebody they have only met at an online chat or something similar online, I would talk to them privately about the dangerous that could be caused by doing something like this and if that wouldn’t work I would slap them back into their senses after that if they still decide to do it I would just say goodbye and hope to see them soon and if something happens to them and they go missing then I guess I would tell the whole truth about what happened that’s all I would do honestly.

Lord Of The Flies Poem

Somewhere over the darkened curve of the world the sun and the moon were pulling, and the film of water on the earth planet was held, bulging slightly on one side while the solid core turned Kill the beast! Cut his throat! Spill his blood!
The beast struggled forward, broke the ring and fell over the steep edge of the rock to the sand by the water.
Here invisible yet strong, was the taboo of old life.
The line of his cheek silvered and the turn of his shoulder became sculptured marble
That was murder

My favorite cartoon character is from an old show that probably doesn't air any more and it's "Reptar", the reason why I like him is because it's like some sort of dinosaur creature thing, and I have the biggest obssession with dinosaur's and the color green.He's so ugly but cute and that's why I love him!

When I was a child my favorite song was "Helena(so long goodnight)" by "My Chemical Romance",and that was when i first started liking all that kind of music(Rock).
When I hear this song now it makes me think about the first time I saw the video on MTV I was so amazed by some dead girl pooppin out of her coffin and dancing ballet all over the funeral home floor.

so then I scream cause of my dream.

Annabel Lee

It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.

I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with a love that was more than love-
I and my Annabel Lee;
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.

And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsman came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.

The angels, not half so happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me-
Yes!- that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.

But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we-
Of many far wiser than we-
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.

For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling- my darling- my life and my bride,
In the sepulchre there by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea.
