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.
