"The Cask of Amontillado" Before You Read: Revenge

I think people get revenge because it makes people feel reliefed. I would get revenge because if someone got me really bad and it was where there was alot of people watching I would get revenge on someone but it wouold be even worse. One time I got revenge was during halloween we have a skeleton that we as a house use to scare people in the house. One day Sharray and I decide to put it in front of Keona's room door so when she walked out she would see it and get scared. She got so scared I can't describe. The funny thing is when I went to the hallway closet it was still standng there so I got scared myself. This isn't the best revenge but I still got it on myself.

Autobiographical Narrative

Rossy R.
Autobiographical Narrative Final Draft
November 21, 2011
Period 4

        Here is how it all started. I was 11 in 2009 now it is 2011, do the math. Anyway, I was living with my mom in an upstairs apartment. I was like any other normal kid in my neighborhood, I would do homework, go outside, and hang out with friends and the whole thing. I used to think doing something bad made you feel bad so then you thought you were bad. This is how I used to be, “bad.”
        At first I was at my mom’s house doing my homework like a normal kid. Then I looked out the window and saw my friends trying to get my attention. For a second I didn’t know if I should stay and do my homework or go outside. I thought to myself “If I stay I will finish and get bored, but if I go outside I can hang out with my friends and do my homework later.” So then, I go to my mom tell her my homework is finished and walk outside. I saw my friends on the stairs. We all sat there for like couple of minutes. Later we all somehow randomly chose to play fight each other. I had to fight against my friend Adriana. We all had to choose a place to fight. But we chose the laundry room. My friend and I just started swinging and throwing punches at each other. We ended up all the across the apartments and somehow she pushed me against the glass window. …
IT BROKE!!!! She didn’t feel bad, I was the one who felt bad, I felt terrible. What was I going to tell my mom?
        All my friends ran and I stood there like the statue of liberty. I had the thought and feeling inside to run but I chose not to. I was too young to think about responsibility and choosing the bad decision. Then my neighbor came out and yelled at me. At first I was scared because she wasn’t very pretty looking but I got used to it. I went to walk at the park nearby. I stayed there for an hour and tried to figure how and why it happened. I walked home and as soon as I could see where my apartment was I knew what was coming... I walked in the house and the first thing I saw was my mom laying on her bed crying.
        “What’s wrong” I asked her
        “What am I going to do with you” she mumbled under her breath
        At first I thought it was normal for a parent to say that to their child but then I realized after a while she really meant it. I knew this because she had said this many times but this time she said it when she was crying. In the beginning I thought “Hey it’s just broken glass” but no, the only reason why I thought that was because I didn’t have to pay for anything. I felt terrible because we were close to being homeless and I was over here “having fun” breaking glass. I had a month of being grounded. That month went by slow. I was bored everyday I came home. Honestly I did deserve it.
        During this I felt compassionate, I felt like the bigger person taking responsibility for my friends and I. I learned a lot during this situation. This is one of the times that I became compassionate by taking a responsibility that was in fact mine to take.

Dragons' Den First Semester Week 13: Saturday

My favorite thing to do on a boring Saturday is go to sleep then wake up clean my room and go back to sleep. I think Saturday is the best day to sleep because I have nothing else to do.

Academic Language Week 13 - Video Games

I think video games do contribute to youth violence because there is a higher percentage of kids involved doing more violent things after playing a game. I think this because kids get so involved into their video game world that they don’t care about the real world anymore. I also think this because kids interpret that it is good to do something bad from what they say in a video game. I also think video games contribute to youth violence because some kids think doing something bad makes them cool. This is what I think about video games contributing to youth violence.

"The Interlopers” Content Paragraph: Another Point of View

It was a dark night and I was out hunting.. I saw a shadow and thought to myself  " somnething to hunt"

I looked even bigger as I walked closer and It was my enmy ever since long ago.... George. We looked at each other and glared for almost 2 minutes. I looked up at the sky and it was getting darker and foggy. We both looked up and herd a loud noise. A tree had fallen on us. George's eye was bleeding. Right then and there we talked and argued. What I can remember was him saying my men where going to find me dead. We agreed to friendship. At first I couldn't understand the reason why he would argue when his eye was bleeding. I looked at him and he had a look on his face like he had seen a ghost. I looked up towards where he was looking at and he said he had seen a figure. We saw wolves.. eating him alive I tried draging him but they attacked me.

JCCS Academic Language Week 13 - Video Games Interview

Amy  thinks video games do contribute to youth violence because being  in front of a video screen makes them less socially active. They are involving themselves in the video games instead of themselves or the outside world.

Dragons' Den First Semester Week 12: Veterans Day

I would not enlist in the military because I know someone who once enlisted and told me about it. Movies TV shows all show the good part about enlisting which might be the money but there is more than just the money when you enroll. Another reason is it takes your life both ways. You pretty much never get to see your family, you never get to quit and if you die there is nothing left to it but your grave stone and money that would be given to your family. I would never enlist only if I would live alone and had nothing else to care about. I will and am not planning to enlist for Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines, or Navy. This is what I think of enlisting as or for Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines, or Navy.

hird Person Narrator: Plumber, Princess, & Attacking Turtle

Once upon a time, in a castle there lived a princess who was clean and Germaphobic. One day at school she got invited to a ball at an aquarium but she didn't want to go because usually there ends up to be  something bad like an argument or something.  Her best friend conviced her to go because she told her the cutest guy was going to be there. So they decided to go.
       Next when they got there it got really cold so Alyssa (princess) decided to use the restroom to change. When she came out all  her friends where gone. She shouted out all the names of her friend that she knew. They appeared to be at the top of the aquarium looking at the turtles. Her friends all tried to make her do something that she had never done before... They wanted her to make her hands touch something that has lots of germs in it... They wanted her to put her hand in the tank and touch a turtle. She reached in and as soon as she touched the dirty water she freaked out. Her friends around her taking pictures and watching her slowly. Next she reached in all the way and she felt what she thought was a tiny turtle. She took out her hand and thought about what she had done. She thought it was a mistake. She turned around and looked at all of her friends. They had nothing to say. They wanted to tell her something was behind her but they couldn't speak it was like something was holding their mouth down.
       Then someone ran in and said "There is a giant turtle behind you!"
She didn't believe them because she had never seen a giant turtle before so she walked away. When she realized everyone stood still and nobody was kidding she turned around and saw the biggest turtle she had seen in her life. She ran as fast as she could. She ran down the stairs trying not to trip over her shoes.. All she remembered was running and her friends at the door holding it open for her. When she woke up she was on her bed and it was all a dream.

Dragons' Den First Semester Week 11: Sports & Grades

I think students or athletes should be required to have good grades in order to play sports because that way students will be motivated to keep their grades up for as long as the sport lasts or as long as they would like. I know this because I have played several sports myself and I know how it feels to not have the grades to play.  This year I played volleyball and I kept myself motivated to play in every game. I am also going to play basketball this year and I am going to  to keep myself motivated as well. I think If anyone is going to play a sport he or she should be aware of their grade and what it takes in order to play. This is what I think of athletes or students that are going to play sports and the grades they need in order to play.
