"Grape Sherbet" Paragraph

I can relate to the poem "Grape Sherbert" by Rita Dove because I celebrate memorial day sometime at a barbeque or picnic at a park or the beach but I have never celebrated it at a cemetery.

"Remember" Homework paragraph

In the poem "Remember" by Joy Harjo the statements "Remember that you are all people and that all people are you" and "Remember that all is in motion, is growing, is you" are logical. I think they are logical because the author is saying that all people are equal and that race does not matter.

“A Storm in the Mountains” One with Nature

I went to summer camp last year up North by Redding with my church. We went white water river rafting so I saw a lot of canyons and water snakes. They water was so clear and clean we were able to drink it. The sound of nature including birds, leaves, and rivers were all that we heard. We stopped at a little island that the quides called rasberry island because there were a lot of rasberries on it. We jumped in the cold water and went into this underwater cave, it felt like we were in the "Pirates of The Carribean" movie.

Third Quarter Goals Reflection

My progress for my goals from third quarter so far is better than before I set those goals. Some of my goals were to get better grades, do not talk back to staff, be respectful, and go to school on time. I have  been going to school on time, i have been more working on being respectful, and I am working on my grades.

“Through the Tunnel” Analysis Paragraph

In “Through the Tunnel” by Doris Lessing I find it convincing that Jerry takes such a risk and survives because I have heard of alot of bad accidents happen in the news and the people still survive. Like the Chilean Miners, they were trapped in a mine and then they got rescued and survived.

This quarter I learned a great deal of things. I learned how to create a blog. I also learned how to bookmark a page and a create tag for it. I also learned how to navigate my way through Google Docs. I also learned how to make a graphic organizer on Google Docs. Even though I've been here a short while, I have learned a lot.

"Lamb to the Slaughter" - I'm the Detective.

If I was a detective investigating the murder of Patrick Maloney in “Lamb to the Slaughter” by Roald Dahl, I would have searched her whole house lookin for a weapon that would create a huge hole in his head. I wouldnt't have trusted his wife Mary Maloney and when she asked me to eat the lamb I wouldn't have eaten it. I would need a better alibi from her because she could have killed him and the went to the store. I would also look on his head to see if there was anything around the wound, like a piece of wood from a baseball bat or meat from a lamb leg.

“The Gift of the Magi” The Item I’d Save

If I could save just one item from a fire, flood, or an earthquake I would save my money if it was a fire. If it was a flood I would save my electronics. I wouldn't save anything if an earthquake happened. I would save my money because I work hard to earn and save it, I can also buy the stuff a lost. I would save my electronics because there really expensive. I plan to keep saving my money if a disaster happened and I kept since I was an adult.

"SPA Movie & Games Day Paragraph."

This last friday I expected to do a quiz first period for the book "Boy in The Striped Pajamas." But they told us to go to Ms. Priesters class and wait to go into Kyles classroom to watch a movie. When we went to Kyles classroom and they told us that we are going to watch "Freedom Writers." I was excited because I have never seen that movie. After the movie we went to the Gym to either play baketball or watch them play, I chose to watch. The teams were sophomores versus freshmen on one side of the court and juniors versus seniors on the other side of the court. To be honest I think the seniors versus juniors was the most interesting game. The freshman were losing badly against the sophomores. Then after the basketball games we went to the cafeteria to eat same barbequed food such as burgers, hot dogs, and chicken.

“’Halloween Memory in Third-Person."

One of Samuel's most memorable Halloween was last year when my old grouphome said we weren't allowed to go "trick or treating." So me and my friend awoled to go "trick or treating." We went all over the neighborhood dressed up in blankets with two holes for our eyes. Whenever someone asked what we were, we told them we were the ghetto ghosts of Kenyatta, because Kenyatta was the name of the street we lived on. Then after we went "Trick or Treating" we threw toilet paper all over my friends house.

“’The Storyteller’ - Memorable Books from My Childhood.”

"Green Eggs and Ham" br DR. Seuss.
"Where the Red Fern Grows" by Wilson Rawls.
"Horton Hears A Who" by DR. Seuss.
"Captain Underpants" by Dave Pilkey.
"Cat in The Hat" by DR. Seuss.

My favorite childrens book used to be "Green Eggs and Ham" by DR. Seuss because one of the characters name is Sam-I-Am or simply Sam and thats my name. I liked this book because it rhymes, its funny, and it was one of the first books I read by myself. There are two main characters, the first is unnamed, the second is Sam-I-Am. Throughout the book, Sam tries to encourage the first unnamed character to try green eggs and ham, though he meets with little success. The unnamed character refuses to taste the dish, insisting that he would not like it.
