Turkey Day

Thanksgiving day was a slow and long day. My mom and I were completely drained from the day before from cleaning the entire house. My mom and I still had to go to the Tuttle Mall to get my grandma to bring her to the house.When we got to Tuttle Mall my grandma was there with her friend waiting for us. Her face lit up when she saw us pull up to the Mall. We got out of the car and hugged her, and grabbed her bags. We said goobye to her friend and were back in the car on the way back home. My gradma sat in the front seat and talked about how she missed being with us. My mom said " We are glad to have to see you too." We haen't seen my grandma in months and it was good to have her over for a few nights of break. We continued with regular conversation about how everyone was doing and what have we all been up to.20 minutes later we get back to the house and the cooking begins. We started cooking around 11:30 and we still had to bake the turkey that took 4 hours to cook. While waiting for the turkey to cook we all watched charlie brown episodes and christmas movies on ABC Family.I helped my mom cook everything because she couldn't be on her feet for too long since she is pregnant. We made turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, apple pie, pumpkin rolls, green beans, greens, and mac and cheese from scratch. When everything was done we all sat down at 5::30 ish we all sat down and said grace and began to eat. It was a fantastic Thanksgiving day.

I want a wife...

1. Yes, the thesis is implied to the story and it basically is the idea of a "perfect wife".
2. the repition of " I want a wife.." is  Brady mocking a man that wants all of these qualities in a wife.
3.Brady doesnt use pronouns such as she or he because
4. No, there is no such things as perfect, and because there is not a such thing as perfect, Brady likes to show in this essay that there are faults and that you go for the best thing that you can get.
5. Brady defines a wife as someone who is doing everything for everyone in the house and to clean up after everyone and there things. But, I think that Brady's essay is to show that men should be more appreciative of what they have and that in a relationship it is not a job for one person, it takes two for a marriage to work. Brady wants the readers to have an understanding of no "perfect" anything, and to learn to appreciate what you have.
6.  I really did admire Brady's essay to show that men need to appreciate all the things that women do and instead of begging for what we arent or what we do have. Perfection is not an exsisiting thing and many people  need to come to terms with that. Brady's essay could be effective to other people and open their minds to change there views on things. But, I believe that her essay is more persuassive to changing the minds of the readers who read this. If she wanted to make this essay to be effective she could inculde a story of which a relationship between a man and a women was split up because the man did not respect his wife and didnt like her because she was not all that he wanted. Or there could be a story on how a man who is 7586557 years old and hasnt  gotten married because he was to picky. Everyone wants to find a lover, and be in love and a story like that incorperated into the essay could really scare someone knowing its not fun to life a long life alone with noone to share with.
7. I want..essay

There are many things that I want in life. There are many things that a lot of people want in life. Sometimes what we always want isn’t always what we need, so we need to appreciate what we do have and be lucky for where we are because, people have it way worse. But, if I was to have a list of all the things that I want this is what it would look like.  I want to graduate and go to one of the top art schools in the U.S. I want to go to one of the top art schools and learn how to become an excellent fashion designer and photographer. I want to get a degree in fashion design and photography to intern at a fashion store. I want to become a famous fashion designer and photographer. I want to become a wife of someone who loves me for me not my money. I want to get married in my 20’s. I want to be able to have two kids, one a girl and one a boy. I want them to be able to have every opportunity to live their lives. I want my children to grow up to do great things to change the world. I want my children to do whatever they want and I want to be able to make their dreams come true. I want my children to grow up and have beautiful children of there own. I want to become a billionaire by the time I hit my 40’s and retire by the age of 50. I want to have my long lifetime partner by my side. I want to grow old with love and be surrounded by our grandchildren. I want to die in bed with life time partner and feel no pain. I want to know that there is life after death and that I will be able to fly in the heavens with the angels. I want to be able to know that my life was a life well lived.

Sherk Scene

Exaggeration: The slow motion scenes are made to be exaggerated.
Incongruity: When the princess is stopped in the air to fix her hair and then she starts to begin fighting again.
Reversal: The princess is the one fighting and "saving" them from the bad guys, instead of Shrek.
Parody: The fighting that the princeness when she kicks the two men at once is making fun of the matrix.

When the Horror story becomes real

  One night on Halloween, my parents left the house for me and my friends to have a sleepover. Before my parents left, they gave their usual rules like no boys in the house, no leaving the house, and especially no party. The door bell rang 30 minutes later, the girls have arrived. As I opened the door Lauren, Joanna, Melissa, and Siobhan were dressed up in there costumes for Halloween. Lauren says " Now you dont look dressed  up for a party." I said " We cannot have a party, I am not trying to get into trouble again." .The girls walk in and have all sorts of food like pumpkin pie, apple pie, candy corn, and they had punch. Joanna said " Now I have already called a bunch of people to come to this party at your house, so you have to have it." I glare at Joanna knowing that she was right, because this party ,was going to be the party of the year. So all of us began to put up scary decorations like spider webs,spiders, pumpkins, a zoombie, a witch, and a corn maze that was put in the backyard. We all stood looking around the house spooked about how creepy we made the house. It was a job well done. Fake blood was everywhere on the floor the windows and everything else. We even had the creepy music playing that you  hear in the movies. Now it was time to wait..
  People arrived an hour later, it was way more than what I expected. People had on all sorts  of costumes like: doctors, nurses, any kind of animal, zombies, ghosts, vampires, witches, super heros, celebrities, and a lot of other things. Lauren, Joanna, Melissa, Siobhan and I all decided to be vampires.Lauren also had gave us all these beautiful bracelets that had out initals on it with a fang on it as well. We all were throughout the crowd of people that were outside and inside. The moon was big and orange, my mom told me that is called a "blood moon" and that you always have to be suspicious of the darknesss that creeps in. I stared at the moon wondering what my mom was thinking about " the darkness that creeps in". I guess I was left  to figure that on my own. I started to get the chills  just thinking about it. I walked back inside to the loud crowd of out raged teens and tried to find the girls. Midnight struck on the grandfather clock in the living room, and thats when everything became real. My fake plastic vampire teeth started to sink in as real teeth, my eye sight became perfect, my thirst for blood was a craving I have never felt before. My head was pounding for blood, my thoughts were only blood. I attacked a guy that was dressed as a firefighter right next to me. His neck was thick and very juicy. His back was to me so it made him an easy target. After, I had dropped his body onto the floor, I went on to find the girls again. I heard screams and yellps and saw people running for dear life. I was assuming the girls also were what I have become.. a monster. I ran through to see what was going on, thats when I turned and saw Lauren's teeth clentched into some guys neck that was suppose to be her crush. His body limped into her hands and then she dropped him on the floor. Blood was dripping from her mouth her hands, and blood was now all over her. " Lauren, what is going on?" I asked her not knowing why we had actually become vampires. " This is kind of fun" she replies to me. " I've never thought I could ever feel so much power" Lauren walks up to me with a smile that made me shiver. Lauren was evil. That's when I knew I was suppose to run. But I wanted to ask her something. "What did you do?"  "Well, well, well where do I even begin to start?" " The bracelets I gave all four of us, you know the one with our intials and the tooth mark?" she continues to walk closer to me as I start to back up. " Those bracelets have a secret curse on them, for us to turn into vampires. Real ones." As I tried to take it off the bracelets dug deeper into my skin, almost breaking the skin. Lauren grabbed my arm and laughed. " You cant take it off it will remain to be there forever." she said and then took me into the house. The house smelled of pumpkin, blood, and other things. A smell that turned my stomach inside out. Many people where trapped inside of the house there coustumes ripped and teared, bodies were on the floor dead. I felt a sickness in my stomach as I saw that Melissa, Joanna and Siobhan were garding all of the doors." I have compelled the girls to do as I wish." Lauren whispers in my ear. I have never been more afraid in my life, what I was wondering was if Lauren knew about vervain. Vervain was what was going to set us all free, and I need to get to the basement and get it. Joanna was the one blocking the basement, and I knew I could easily distract her. I was hoping that her human senses were still there. I told Lauren I had to go to the bathroom. She told me that she would have Joanna take me down there, as we passed the kitched I grabbed a chocolate chip cookie. Joanna walked me down to the basement bathroom and I distrated her with a cookie. " Joanna do you want the cookie?" and tossed it up the stairs, she launched  for it. I grabbed the vervain from the black cabniet that was closest to me. Vervain grows from a flower, and I put it inside of a needle. Joanna came back down and tried to attack me and that's  when I stabbed her with the needle and she fell over shaking. I knew Joanna would be fine later because the bracelet that Lauren had put on all of us had fell off and she was also still breathing. I ran  up the stairs and saw that Siobhan had seen the needle in my hand. Siobhan tried to run from me and since we were vampires her speed was faster than what I wanted it to. Siobhan tried to run out the back door but I stabbed her right in the neck, as she tried to run onto the roof. Next was Melissa was on my list and she was at the front door from the inside and I decided to go around and ring the door bell. Mellisa answered the door and I got her right in the stomach, all of the people escaped out the door almost knocking me over. Lauren was next on my list and she was no where to be found, I heard a creek upstairs in the attaic. I went upstairs to the unfinished, dirty attaic and Lauren was in there. I was not able to see her though, even with my vampire like eyesight. I walked in and called her name. "Lauren I know your in here, I can smell you."  Noises were creaking fro the wooden floors. I turned and saw a body hanging from the celing and I almost screamed when a hand covered my mouth. Lauren was right behind me. I could feel the heat from her body and I started to panic. She knew that I had vervain. She snatched the vervain out of my hand and tossed across the floor on the other side of the room. I was sure that Lauren was going to kill me. She brought me over to the  body that was hanging from the celing, the boy was still alive. She wanted me to eat the boy. But I was definately not going to, so I have decided to distract Lauren by cutting myself with my nail, letting the blood ooze out from my arm. Laurens fangs showed, the white sharp as knives fangs were ready to dig into me. I saw Siobhan behind Lauren ready to hit her with a shovel and as I winked at her Sionbhan to give her the "okay". Lauren was on the ground unconsience, within a second. Siobhan grabed the boy and escaped. I ran to go look for the vervain. I got on my hands and knees to sniff it out. It was not hard to sniff out because it was so strong. I grabbed it and ran back over to Lauren to pour it all over her. I saw that there was no effect on her and she begin to get back up. I was wondering what she was, and if I could even get her killed. I saw the look in her eyes they became yellowish, greenish. Lauren was a hybrid, a mix between a vampire and warewolf. I knew that I was going to have to burn her with a fire. I grabbed a match that just happened to be on the floor. I lit it and set it on Lauren, I knew that the vervain would react imediately to it and I wouldn't have enough time to leave the house because the house was going to blow up. But I was willing to take the chance anyway. Hours later, the abulances came. It was the party that would never be forgotten just like everyone hoped...

Fashion...

Fashion is a  word that is thrown around alot in the Hollywood world. Many people think that

I BELIEVE IN LAUGHTER

   In this sthort story, I laughed a little, because its  true that you should always learn to laugh at yourself. I laugh at myself to keep the pain away, or even the embarrassment. People should learn to do that every now and then because laughing is healthy. I love that she was able to enjoy the old memories, that she was able to laugh at them, even when at those times she should have cried. I believe you should never let things to get the best of you. If  you fall then you should pick yourself up, dust yourself off and laugh about it. Its the laughter that brings out the best in people. For example; I was in 7th grade and I was getting off the bus to go to school and I slipped on black ice right after I got off. Everyone was asking if I was okay. I just threw y head back started laughing and everyone else started to laugh. My mom  always told me " You got to laugh, to keep from crying" and she was right.

I SHALL OVERCOME MY FEARS RESPONSE

  My views of reading this short story " I shall overcome my fears", was about fear and how it controlls our lives. I believe that statement is correct, because I know from my own experiences that I dont do certian things ,because I'm scared to do them. For example; I was afraid of being on the cheerleading team because, I was afraid to mess up a cheer and get laughed off the field. Fear is our natural emotion for us, because we are born with it. But in this story, the man is a homosexual that was in the United States Submarien Force.Being a homosexual, he had fear of acceptance from anyone, because he was different from the averange male type. His fear took control of him to limit things that he thought he couldn't do because people were telling him that he couldn't. Fear is the four letter word that controlls ever human on the planet. It just depends on what you do with it, do you set it aside and not let it get the best of you? Or do you let it take over your life?

Being Followed...

My friend Robin and I, went to the Food Court in the Polaris Fashion Mall. Robin wanted to get some food, so I waited for her at the table. The table was surrounded by parents, kids, old people, teens and ultimate creepers. There were these two men around the age of 40, that were at a table diagonal from were our table was. I saw them both staring at me and at first I thought it was nothing. Then, I look back and their smiling at me and I am pretty sure that they waved me to come over. My palms were starting to sweat, and I could just hear the drips of water hitting the ground. Time suddenly, seemed to stop and I couldnt move. Robin comes back and asks me "What's wrong?" and when I finally turn my head to look her I tell her " Those men are looking at us, please hurry and eat." She tries to turn her head but I stop her by taking a bit of her pizza, which of coarse makes her turn her head back at me. I said "Hurry up, so we can leave." she says " I will." and when she is done with her pizza we leave to go shopping. When I look back to see if they are still at the table only ,one of the men are sitting there and he looks back to where the bathroom is. I said "Okay we can get away, since they aren't looking at us".
Robin and I are in American Eagle looking around in the clearence section then suddenly I look up and  see the two men again. They are acting like they are looking around the men's things staring at us. I poke Robin and show her  that they are there creeping on us and Robin says "Let's go." Then we are out of the store as quickly as possible. I look back and we are still in the clear, and we forget about it after being in a few stores like Delia's, Tropical Trends, Macy's, and Sear's. When we are heading outside we go to Forever 21, and that is whenI see the men again in there black leather jackets, looking like ultimate creepers. I was starting to run along with Robin into Forever 21. We told the people in the store that we had been followed and we gave the description of the men. I told her " One man is about my height, grey hair, and blue eyes. The other one was tall like 6 ft. with brown hair, and brown eyes. both of them caucasion and around the age of 40." The woman saw them enter and called the secutrity into the building and the men were taken away and signs were put up saying that they weren't allowed to go to the mall ever again until a certian amout of months. They are now posted as " Child predators." The relief poured over mine and Robin's faces. Case closed.

WATER

One hot summer day in July, the soccer team was on a run at Alam Creek. We did a 8 mile run around and also did satirs, which is when you run up and down stairs. Sweat is pouring from our foreheads dripping down to the ground. The sun was at it's highest point of the day which was noon, and it was burning my skin, darkening it by the second. I could see nothing but blurry shapes because the sun was so hot. Water were the words that were screaming in everyone's head. Either everyone had already finished there water or they barely  had anything to share. Water was the word that was weakening us by not being able to keep up with our coach that was far enough away that we could only see a portion of where she was. When we were heading back to the soccer fields, everyone was able to see the fountain, the only fountain that was there at the soccer fields. Somone called out " I get the water first!" and we all began to argue with each other. Than we started to sprint towards the fountain, fighting over it because of the thirst that was taking over us. We began to spray each other with  the hose that we found on the other side of the fountain and water was splashing everywhere. All of us were on the ground laughing as we tried to fight to be under the hose. That was one of the hardest practices but yet the best practice ever.

CHAIR

As I walk into the room before the late bell rings doomed already because of the long 55 minute period of Goverment class that I had to sit through. Listening to Mrs. Advent talk on and on. I am just sitting there in my blue chair day dreaming about the following year of finally being a senior. Ms. Advent calls on me to answer some question about " My opinion on a democracy" she might has well just walked over and popped my dream bubble with a needle instead of an easy question. I give her my answer and continue to stare at the clock just waiting for the class to be over. Every minute seemed like a century and I just could not take it anymore and thats when a BOOM went. I turned around and the class trouble maker had been on the floor and dying of laughter. Then, I saw another kid standing next to him with the chair in his hand clearly he had pulled the chair from underneath of him. The room was filled with laughter and Ms. Advent's face turned red and all I remember was this vibration of agry words coming from her mouth. It was the very blue chair that I sat in that had a front row seat to any fun that i would ever have in Ms. Advents Government room.
