Civil Disobedience

Actions by the government Im against is Abortions. Best way I feel they can be changed is to make it illegal. If they make abortions legal, then murder should be legal too, its the same exact thing!!! People need to think before acting, use birth control, it not that hard. I feel People take advantage of abortions and don't try nothing to avoid getting pregnant then when they do thats their first option. Its not right at all! Quotes by Martin Luther King Jr. "At the center of non-violence stands the principle of love." "A man who won't die for something is not fit to live. ". && Lastly," I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear." Why would you kill something that you created?

BANNED B00Kz

Most books were banned due to profanity,sexual refrences, and using God's name in vain. To me this say's out culture and country try's to keep the truth away from youth today. I don't think any of these books should be banned. Yes I have read some books such as, Of Mice and Men, To Kill a MockingBird, and I've saw the movie The Color Purple. My education would be affected If I hadn't read this because before I read To Kill a Mockingbird, I knew nothing about the Jim Crow laws, I actually learned a lot from that book. Of Mice and Men was a great book, I loved it!

3 BESTEST!

*Reverend Parris, John Proctor, and Rebecca Nurse were the epitome of Salem's morals during the witchcraft trials. Although they all honored their reputation, they each had a different way of upholding their reputation

* In The Crucible, Arthur Miller portrays how strict the seventeen society was, when a person's name was the most valuable property his or her offspring can inherit instead of land. Name belongs to a person -he or she doesn't use it a lot but everyone else doses; thus they can either "enrich" or damage it. Being accused as a witchcraft doesn't hurt a person physically but mentally. In the play, Parris , Abigail , Giles, and John Proctor have fought well with their internal conflict in order to maintain their good reputation in Salem. I thought this was interesting because they use a time period.

*
-The importance of one's reputation was strongly represented throughout the story to such an extent of doing what they believe
is best in order to keep their good name.

PETz

I am not an animal lover at all. Im mostly scared of every animal in the world (except dolphins).

Cats and Dogs scare me a lot. So I never really cared about animals that much. I do believe people go overboard and pamper their pets too much. I could understands clothes sometimes but the purse and a house and shoes, thats just doing wayyyy too much! However as much as I don't like animals they still have a purpose in life so they shouldn't be killed or mistreated.

VOCAb REViEW ON WiKi

Make a fill in the blank story for SAT Words 1-15. Make an answer key as well. Kevin, Ismahan, Bridget
The first day of school led to the last day of three kids lives. Yaquiline, the (lothario), Yessica, the (maverick), and Yanessa, the (nemesis) of Yaquiline. On that day, they experienced a (philippic) between each other in English class. It started fine, they all sat down in class while Mr. Schreiber introduced himself and the class. They figured out he was a (jingoist), because he was wearing a red, white, and blue tuxedo. But after seeing that, they realized who was amongst them. . . the infamous “Y Ladies.”
Yaqualine, and Yanessa, hated each other because Yaqualine took a bite of Yanessa’s Spicy Chicken Sandwich, which led to Yanessa calling Yaqualin (tawdry). Yaqualine, or “Yaquie”, stated that as a (philanderer), she slept with Yanessa’s boyfriend. Yanessa’s previous view of as a (quixotic ) young girl, immediately went away.
One day Yessica came to school and yelled at Yanessa and Yaqualine using (solecism), Yessica couldn’t say anything because she felt (saturnine) because of all those spicy chicken burgers that she ate. Yaqualine didnt really care because she was a (procrustean,), she was tired of arguing. So the rivalry between Yanessa and Yaqualine came to an end. Many people say it was a ( Pyrrhic victory), because even after the argument, they still were not friends.
But the weird part of the story is, why didn’t Yessica get involved? She has the (spoonerism) of words that confuses the Y Ladies to death. But recently she found the Y Ladies (protean) and unbearable. She could have won this argument and be the number one Y lady and live in (sybarite) for the rest of her life!!

iDEAS WORTH A LiFE

I think an idea I would die for is for any of my family or friends. I love all my friends and family so much.They have all made me a better person and without them I would be nothing, so if they were in danger or I needed to die in order for them to live I definatly would, However as much as I love them...I must say it would kinda also depend on how I died. ahaha but I would still give up my life for my family or friends.

Project Reflection

It was really nice & I loved it. It was fun too. We all worked together very well, I mostly liked how we had fin with it sometimes with a group of people, someone gets all serious but we all worked well together and had fun. Our performance was AMAZiNG! (I thought) we weren't that long and we made the class laugh. To make it better next time we should rehearse more other than that it was kool.

Rumors

A rumor I recently heard was Rihanna was going out with (my man) Drake!

When I heard it I believed it because I was mad and it was on the radio, and usually they tell the truth.I believe the one spreading the rumor had control because, if they are always giving out the newest information in the famous world, you most likely believe it. And after hearing it on the radio I heard people at school talking about it.

THE CRUCiBLE

I have lost trust in someone I love, and my behavior changed with that person by not being friends with her no more. She lied on me and I can't be friends with someone I don't trust. I was never able to regain my trust with her and we are not friends till this day and I'm pretty sure we will never be again. There is only so many times a person can be lied to or on and Im not the person that just walks away when I have something to say so I forgive her but we can't be friends.
