"Two Kinds" In The Shoes Of A Prodigy

The girls conflict in this story kind of reminds me a day when I got suspended from school for fighting. I was being instigated by a kid on the wrong day and I snapped on him and we started fighting. When my came and pickrd me up from the office he looked realy angry. On the ride home he questioned me about what happened and I told him. When we got home I went straight to my room and did my homework. After I was done my dad called me outside and made me put on a baseball glove. My dad new I hated baseball and would rather clean the whole house than to play it.

"my Input for staff-teacher conferences"

Hi Ms. Priester,

I feel like my grade is better than it was last week, but its still not where I want it to be. I know that I could do much better, and I could definetly give more effort. I think I got the grade I deserve but i'm not happy with it. The reason I have this grade is because I simply did not get my work done. One of my strenghts in this class is I like to write. I have a couple of challenges in this class that play a huge factor in why I am doing so poor is I don't know how to do alot of the stuff the class is doing because no tought me how. Another challenge is keeping my mouth shut in your class. For some reason I just like to talk ,sing and rap after lunch. To improve my grade I need to shut up and do my work. The campus can help by getting the internet back up in our my house. Ms. priester can help by assisting me in class when she  see's me trying to do my work. I hope to have an A at the end of the quarter.
My first day attending san pasqual academy was kind of boring but it was a learning experience for me. I didn't realy talk much because I was trying to scope everything out. What I mean by that is I was watching everyone closely and seeing who I wanted to associate myself with. I was also looking out for people I can't trust. For the most part my first day san pasqual academy went smoothly. I mean when you look this good  you expect everyone to talk to you. I got to meat alot of people and they seemed nice. Everyone I talked to seemed to be realy interested in what i was doing.

"Two kinds" conflict experience

one night when I was 14 I went AWOL from Polinski and caught up with a group of old friends that I new since I was little. Latter on I came to find out they were not my friends at all. We were hanging out at the park when one of them said lets do a bottle run. Now a bottle run is when someone walks into an Albertsons or some kind of grocery store and grabs a bottle of alcohol then walks out with it. They told me to do it because they've seen me do it before. I told them that I'm straight I don't even drink. then they started talking a bunch of crap that made me mad. next thing I know I end up fighting one of them and got beat up.

OAATS analysis of a peer

I am going to write about a guy named Terrell who I happen to live with. Terrell cracks me up because he acts so goofy. In simpler words he's funny. He also comes down to the practice field sometimes and helps out the football team even though he cant play because he's a fith year senior, that show alot of good integrity; however he needs to mature quickly because he's turning 19 soon and he's probly not going to make it on his own in the real world if he doesn't get an education.I dont't mean to be negative but thats real feedback.

"Everyday Use" Plot Retelling

I will never forget that night. I was alarmed by the smell of burning wall paper,and all I hear is Maggie get out. I was scared. when I look in the mirror, what happened that night always seems to trouble me. Kids at school always point and laugh. Then I look at my sister Dee and she makes me jealous of her good looks, but I still love her and my mother even though my mother has man hands. My sister decided to bring her boyfriend over and he made me feel really weird. As soon as I seen our new house ti was like deja vue all over again. The house was almost exactly the same. I could feel the burns again.

"Everyday Use" Before You Read; Tradition and Heirlooms

My family has a couple traditions that I value. One of our traditions is every thanksgiving the family gets together and has a big dinner. another tradition in our family is on the fourth of july. On the fourth of july we go to the kimball park fair by my aunties house where I ride all the rides then we watch the fireworks from my aunties balcony. One thing I would pass down to my children is My mothers long black braid that she cut off when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Thats all I can think of for family traditions and Heirlooms.

Now, Where Did My Furry-Gummy Bear Go? Plot Assessment

Now, Where Did My Furry-Gummy Bear Go? on Storybird

9-11

As a young child I never realized how much  9-11 impacted my family, after all I was only 5 years old. My mom was a full puerto rican who grew up in Gun Hill new york so her whole side of the family was from back East. Now I know why she got so upset when she saw the news. at the time of  9/11 I didn't know what was going on, all I wanted to do was play with my four brothers. When I look back on it now I am so thankful that me my mom and my brothers and I were okay because we were planning to take a trip out to brookly'n to see my grandma.

The purpose of the "Pedestrian Paragraph"

I believe that the authors main purpose for writing this story was to show how the world has evolved into a technology based environment. I also think that the author wanted to show how all this new technology can effect our society. New technology I think has improved our world, and I think what the author is trying to exprees is that who's to say that 50 years from now this new technology won't skrew up our entire exisistance forever.

Life in 2053

In 2053 I believe people will be floating around in spaceships. I say that because technology is getting so big in todays society. I hope that the worlds population will continue to grow and technoloy will continue to advance without messing up the earth. By the time 2053 comes around I will be  a multi millionare sitting on my beach house watching dolphins swim because by then I'm sure I will have binocular like glasses that I can see from miles away with. I would have programed robot maids who would wait on me hand and foot and tell me alsome things about myself daily.
