War Posters

     The poster I analyzed yesterday was about this girl saying that if she were a man she could be in the war and she says that she wishes she was a man. They used a lot of untied states colors, the blue, red and white. To show that you need to have patriotism and do this for your country. If I were to recreate my poster, I would make the woman that is standing strong on the regular poster I would make her look like she is scared and I would add a man that is hurt and scared also. The words I would change and say instead of I want to be a man, have it say “what are the men doing?” I would also add the U.S. Navy is too weak to protect its men. The war is not for you. The colors I would use would be dark around the two people and then everywhere else I would put happy colors to show that they are in a world of hurt but once they get out of it they will be happy and everything will get better. The poster would have big words to show that this is an important message to all.

       I feel that if someone is not happy with their life then they shouldn't have the right to end it. If they are really that unhappy then they could go and find help. There is always something that could make someone happy. No matter what their situation is. At sometimes in peoples life it may seem like it’s at the point of the worst and you could end your life but things only get better from rock bottom. Everyone in this world does a part in keeping our world one and connected. If the people let everyone kill themselves if they wanted to then there would be so many people that would be dead and our population would go down which means that there would be less food and things bought which means we would not be making that much money for our country and we could go into a depression. It’s like a cycle because if no one is buying anything then the government isn't getting a lot of mean which means they can’t pay the people that are working and making everything as much as they should. That means they can’t buy all the things that they want and it just continues in a cycle. It’s not illegal or anything to not kill yourself if you wanted too. You have the right to do anything but if they enforce that it was okay to kill yourself then more people would do it. Thus the reason why they haven’t told anyone it was okay to kill yourself if you wanted. If you actually hated everything as much as it took to kill yourself there would be a lot of people hurt with the outcome of everything that had happened. The outcome would be too hard to handle for some people with the everyone being allowed to kill themselves.

Gossip Girl by Cecily von Ziegesar

1-24

11)      The beginning explains what one of the main characters, Blair Waldorf, is like. She is mostly stuck up and full of herself as far as I can tell. She is dating a boy named Nate. Her mother is Eleanor Waldorf and she is going to be marrying a guy names Cyrus Rose. Blair doesn't like them being together because she does like Cyrus. They Waldorf family decided to throw a party and invite all their friends over. As doing so everyone was talking about Eleanor and Cyrus getting together. During the party an old friend of Blair’s who goes by the name of Serena Van Der Woodsen, showed up after being gone for two years and not being in contact for a year. No one had a clue she was coming or she was back from her boring school, except her family.

22)      “Don’t listen to a word that girl says. Girls like surprises. They want to keep things interesting. You know what I mean?”  This was being said from Cyrus to Nate about Blair. I think this is an important quote because Blair and Nate have only been dating for a year and he never surprises her. He thinks that If he doesn't treat her special then he will lose her.  Now he is going to be figuring out things he can do to remind Blair that she means a lot to him. Later to find out that Serena comes home. Serena and Nate were lovers in the past and now that she’s home he starts thinking that he never lost feelings for her.

33)      In this part of the book I can connect to Serena because she lived in one place for a while and made a ton of friends but then she decided to leave and she moved somewhere else for a while and she moved back again and her and her friends didn't stay in that good of contact and now that she is back things with her and her friends are a little weird now. That similar story happened to me. When I moved here and then I moved back to Nevada and then I moved up here again. I didn't stay connected with my friends as much as I wanted to and when I moved back everything was different with my friends. Everyone else had different friends and everyone was hanging with different people, and when I got back I didn't know where I fit in anymore. 

Horror review

11.       When I was writing this story I was think of the things I'm afraid of and most of the things I'm afraid of are being home alone and hearing noises. Also I'm afraid of people in mental hospitals. That’s when I came up with my story. I just kept putting situations together and my story came from that.

22.       I found that the middle was the easiest to write because I was in the heat of my story and the climax was coming together. I kept coming up with good ideas for the next part and my thought were flowing.

33.       The very beginning was the hardest part for me because I didn't know how to start the story and I was thinking of ideas for the story. It took me a while to figure out what I would put next in my story.

44.       I’m feel that my story was written with a lot of thought and time, so I would have to say that I give my story a 9. Not a full 10 because I could have used better explanations on certain parts.

55.       I think I deserve an A- because the story was a little rushed towards the ending.

66.       On my next writing project, I will explain more and go into more detail about everything. I think that would make my story ten times better

Different Person

          The night was rough I was struggling to sleep. With all the things going through my head I decided to go to my window and sit there and look at the stars. Upon sitting there I witnessed a shooting star at that moment I wished that I would get the chance to trade lives with an unattractive homeless person.  I wished this for myself because everything might not be as bad as it seems and I would learn to not take things for granted. This way I would not get down on myself about all the little bad things that happen in my life. After I wished I went back into my bed to try to get some sleep. The morning had rolled around, I woke up to cold winding blowing on me and birds chirping next to me. I found myself in our town park, lying on the bench near the play ground.  I was confused on how I got here, and why the park out of all places? I looked at my body to make sure I didn't get hurt. Upon looking at myself I noticed I was wearing really dirty, ripped old clothing. I remembered at that point what I wished for that night. I honestly didn't think it would really happen, but by the looks of it, it had happened.  I got off the bench and started to walk around, I noticed everyone was looking at me really weird. In a way that made me feel way different from everyone else. I was thinking to myself, is this really how they feel, unloved, weird, and useless. I kept walking around, I didn't know how I would get food, so I started asking people for money. Everyone was ignoring me, so I decided to get louder and stand on tall things ,but I noticed that I doesn't matter how loud or tall you are. You need to be good at something or impress people if they are going to give you money. I that point I started dancing, everyone loved me and the money was pouring in. once I got tired of dancing I decided to pick up all the money and go and get food somewhere, because I was to hungry to function. When I went to get food it seemed as if no one wanted to serve me. I made them those because I was starving. When I got out of the restaurant I went back to the park and sat there wondering if this is all they do with their lives. I realized that I don’t know what I would do without my phone or nice close or a decent meal.  I came to a conclusion that I needed to change who I’m because it’s not all about the things you get and it’s not right to be selfish.

Zombie Apocalypse

          The zombie apocalypse is coming, Sooner than anyone has ever expected. Even though people believe this isn’t going to happen, well it’s coming. Knowing this, I came up with a sneaky plan, in which they will have no idea what my plan of attack is. If all of a sudden out of nowhere you saw many strange creepy looking people walking toward you moaning you would know that they are more than likely zombies. At that point you would try to run to your ZAHP (zombie apocalypse hideout place) usually this would be in a basement, crawlspace, or even a closet. Any place that you can lock away anything trying to kill you. In this ZAHP you will need a couple of things. You will need a gun, some food, water, a zombie taser, maybe some blanks, definitely a mirror, and other essentials you may want to have in your ZAHP, that you would need to survive for a day or so. You may never know how long you will need to prepare to go out and attack, and also if they are in your house or standing outside your door, you will have to stay in there until they think you’re not there anymore. When that time comes you will then use your mirror to double check that they are not there anymore. You will have to put the mirror under the door and angle it so you can see on the other side. If you see no one that is when you grab your gun and your zombie taser, a zombie taser only kills zombies.  You then will check one more time with your mirror to make sure the coast is clear. You first search your house for zombies , when you find no one you will lock up your house so only will you will be able to get back in it , your house is now you’re safe spot. Then you will start of on a quest to help other people away from the zombies. This now makes you a zombie slayer. Now with that title you are able to attack any zombie in your path.
