My Paragraphs

What I've Done - Linkin Park
This is another one of those life changing songs. I always feel like I’m bad or that I could have done something better than what I did. The first time I heard this song was back when I saw transformers with my girl from the movie theater. This song is what I think of when I try to forgive and forget everything that I’ve done or what I could do better. Every time I listen to this song it makes me feel better about me. It’s not like I feel like I’m a terrible person or anything, it’s just that I feel better about myself when I listen to it. This is another one of those songs that I could listen to at least a hundred times in a row and not get tired of listening to it. I just really love it and I think it’s got good guitar, I’m pretty sure every song I have listed has good guitar so far so I must really like good guitar.

My Life Sounds Like This

The Bird and The Worm - The Used
So I had a friend that I thought was cool. We used to play the most exciting video games it was extra exciting when we played a game that I had never played before and I kicked his butt at it even though he had the game and had been playing it for weeks if not months before I even got to play it with him. The more I was with him the more I changed I was walking around when I used to bike or just lying around and being more lazy, or just plain be weirder like him. I just felt trapped like there was no way to escape. I was always doing what he wanted instead of what I wanted and sometimes it almost scared me to realize how much like him I was becoming. So then he showed me this song and I thought it was a perfect way to describe my life at that point in time. I got it from him and I still listen to it all the time. Thank goodness I've changed into a better person now, but this song always reminds me of what that whole ordeal was like

I'm So Sick - Flyleaf
So one day at work I’m working about at a casual pace, the same pace I always used with our old manager, when all of a sudden, I see the small new manager blast me with this confusing noise of a loud voice telling me to pick up the pace. It freaked me out that such a loud voice could come from such a small person. I never moved so fast in my life, he nearly gave me a heart attack and after I finally slowed my heart down I just couldn’t take it anymore. So this is one of the songs I listened to all the time when I was at work rolling all of our burritos. It was my own little secret joke I used to play that no one knew about but me and it kept me going till he eventually left and we got a new manager.

Grammar Post 1

One thing I have a lot of trouble with is adjectives. I mean, half the time i can't even spell that right. I have a problem with it because I always forget to put enough of them where i should and put too many of them in where they don't really help or where i shouldn't add any more detail to. The correct rule, or how u really use it is that adjectives are words that give more information about the noun, or words that describe nouns. Basically you use them to make your writing more interesting.

Responce to "100 Miles Per hour Upside Down and Sideways"

One of my life's defining moments would definitely have to be when i got in a wreck with my convertible, except i wasn't driving, and it wasn't really my convertible, and i wasnt driving either but i really did get in a wreck. I was seven at the time but i still remember it to this day like it happened only a week ago instead of ten years ago. One day me and my dad were driving home in our lime green convertible from the store and listening to some music on the radio when i tried to show him a cool trick with some cards i had just bought. It was a bad idea. It's not the card trick that made us crash though. I was showing him the trick when he realized i wasnt buckled so he was trying to buckle me and didnt see the R.V. in front of us. I saw it but i could'nt say anything, like i was in awe or like something i couldnt beleive was happening. Time looked like it was slowing down so it seemed like it took a matter of minutes when it was really a few seconds till we crashed. The whole front of the car up to the windsheild went as flat as a pancake as peices flew into the sky and pelted back down and reminded me of raindrops. Me and my dad were fine but the car sure wasnt. We somehow got the car pulled over to the side of the road where we inspected all the damages. once we realizes how squished the front of the car was we knew that there was no way we were driving this car ever again, or in my case never at all. I loved that convertible and I still miss it to this day. I don't blame anyone for the accident, for that's what it truly was, an accident. I just wish that we still had that convertible today.

Homework for Friday

On a literal level, calling home is about a thirteen year old who shoplifts a button from a store and as a punishment has to go to the police station, get questioned and then gets put in a jail cell waiting for her parents to get her out. While An American Childhood is more about how a girl learned that anyone who is persistent can know the joy of pushing all of yourself at one thing through running away from a man who just would'nt give up even after they ran over ten blocks.
There is a lot of naming and detailing in the paragraphs on the two stories. In both stories there was a lot of names for people and a lot of descriptive things and there was also a lot of different types of objects in each of the stories. Sometimes they name characters in the story and that's all they do with them they give a little information or background of the character and drop it there. the names helps you visualize the people because they help you tell somewhat of what they are like because a name says a lot about a person. Also, with the names of the people u can visualize the scene better because u can imagine what the people are like from their names which makes it easier to picture in your mind. I think that a story is better with details because u can visualize it easier and a story is always better when u can visualize it.
A well-told story can have a lot of different things that make it good. It can build suspense, arouses curiosity in its readers and concludes the actions while resolving the conflict in the story. Another thing a well told story can have is it can focus on a single incident in a relatively short amount of time. Something i would add to the list is that a well-told story either has something important to tell us or it is at least interesting, or it could possibly be both entertaining and have something important to say.

My responce to The Arrow Maker story

Well first off i don't want to be the one getting shot for not speaking up. That's why I'm making this blog and writing about the story right now. I think that the arrow maker was smart because he thought up a way to figure out who his enemies were, and because he could make arrows with his teeth. His Way of communicating and making the other person speak up was smart because even if the enemy knew his language the arrow maker would know the enemy is not his friend. The arrow maker would know this because the enemy would not name himself even if he knew the language because the arrow maker would know that the the enemy did not respond as a friend so he must be an enemy and be shot. Another thing that was smart was how the arrow maker kept talking at a normal tone so it would sound like the arrow maker didn't know anything was happening. Anyone who doesn't know the arrow maker's language would have no idea that something was going on and would get shot without knowing what had happened. I also think the arrow maker was smart just for noticing someone outside of his tent.

I think that making a blog and writing things that everyone can see is a lot like the arrow maker story except for that even if u get speak up u might be shot down because of how embarrassed u are that other people are reading what u wrote no matter how excellent or crappy it may be. i think that making a blog is a good way to get constructive criticism and can definitely help u with your writing. I don't think im the greatest writer or anything but i hope u like my blog anyways and i really hope speaking up will keep me from getting shot down.
