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.

There are many things that I want in life. There are many things that a lot of people want in life.

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...
