Dragons Den: Campus Donations

I felt good when the people donated the supplies and money to SPA. First, I am always grateful from people who donate things because they are willing to give things to us, even though they don't need to. Second, they gave us things even though they didn't know us. Third, they were willing to use their time to come down to SPA and gave us things that we needed. Fourth, it shows how generous people are when they donate things to people that are in need  .If I saw the people that donated stuff to us I would tell them "Thank you very much and I'm very grateful for the things you donated to us."  

Academic Language Week 6 - Citizenship

Undocumented immigrants should be giving citizenship if they past the security test. First, they do the work many citizens don't want to do, which SIMPLIFY the hard labor jobs which we don't want. Second, some people VERIFY that they might break are laws because their used to their own laws in different countries. Third, they have to go through a test of SEQUENCES so they can get their own documents and live in the U.S, and get jobs. These are my three reasons why I think that immigrants should get a chance and have their documents.

"Marigolds" Lizbeth's Shoes Paragraph

Most kids don't worry about money as much as adults and parents do. Before my parents got a divorce and everything bad happened, they got into a lot of stress arguments. My biological dad, Gates, would lose a lot of jobs and it would get to the point where they would argue because my mom would be lazy and didn't really look for a job then. Sometimes we would be happy when Gates would get a new job and but after he lost a lot of his jobs I just gave up hope in him. Then we all went to Canada, he got another job up there and well, lets just say I still didn't have hope for him. That is how I felt and dealt with the issue when my parents would lose a job or don't have enough money for things that we want.

"Marigolds" Before You Read: Moving into Adulthood

What types of fears and conflicts do most young people have to deal with as they move into adult life?  First, they worry about their jobs, they have to get a good job so that way they can live somewhere and have food to eat. Second, once they get a place to stay at they have to worry about bills, a lot of people lose their jobs and places because bills and tax's get to expensive. Third, some people are worried about their kids because they might be addicted to drugs or they are doing gang-related things. How can young people prepare to handle these fears and conflicts?

Academic Language Week 5 - Vaccinations

I think that all children shouldn't have vaccinations. First, parents don't illustrate what might happen to the children. Second, they should estimate how the vaccinations affect their children.Third, the parents should be very positive talking to the child but some parents aren't. Fourth, they might get the vaccinations mixed up and the children might have some serious issues while they grow up. Fifth, what if the vaccination won't work and the child catches a disease anyway like when some people get a flu shot and they end up getting the flu. Sixth, some parents think there might be a link from vaccinations and autism. That is why I think children shouldn't have autism.

"Thank You, M'am" Letter to Roger

Dear Ms. Luella Bates Washington Jones,

I appreciate the way you helped me out, even though I tried to snatch your pocketbook. First, I got a job, now I'm a very rich man. Thanks for teaching me manners. Second, I just wanted to see how you are doing. Third, after I left your house when you gave me ten dollars and I went and bought a pair of shoes. I ended up going to a foster home and it helped me a lot. I went to high school and got a high school diploma. After high school I went to a college at Phoenix University. I also wanted to know if I could spend some time with you just to see how you are doing. That is why I wanted to contact you and just to let you know what has happened over the last ten years.
Sincerely,
Roger

"Thank You M'am" Before You Read: Going Gets Tough

There is some truth to the saying “When the going gets tough, the tough get going.” First, I think that confidence help people to give them strong in spirit. For example, Hercules tamed the three-headed dog. Second, I think that people with confidence give them goodwill which makes them turn out good in the end. Third, some people go wrong because they just gave up for a lot of things and they just got tired. For example, some serial killers go bad because their family has a reputation being abusive towards them. All in all people always had the choice to guide their lives, no matter what they did wrong they could always fix it, unless if it's really really bad.

Dragons Den:Life Lesson

A life lesson I learned the hard way is to not to steal. I used to think that it was easier stealing for food and supplies when I was out in the streets. Then I got caught one day, and the cops almost came and took me, which I had to run for my life. I learned that stealing was not the right way to go especially if you get caught and it gets put on to your record. Now I don't steal and if I want something I save up my money for it so I could enjoy using it.

Dragons Den: Power Outage

On Thursday evening I was at the doctor to get shots, when suddenly the lights went out and the cooler went off. In response I wasn't to freaked out until they said they couldn't put me in the system to go get my shots. Then I went back home and made a new friend name Chris. Later I finished school and went home and finally realized that the power went out. When the power came back on I was really excited and went back to bed.

"Dog Star" Before You Read: Special Animal

Yes I did have a special relationship with an animal, her name is pattycake, she was a black cat with seven finger in her front paws and six fingers in the back paws. She wasn't the nicest cat but the cutest, she was like a second mom to me. I tried to teach her how to do tricks but it never worked, but it did usually backfire on me. The only trick she did do was chasing me into my bed and clawing at my feet when it was past my bed time. When ever I was gone from school for the whole day or when I'm gone for a week she would jump on me the moment she would see me. She was my favorite animal and still is even though I had to give her away, it was really hard for me because I was young and I didn't really understand all the way and all I knew was that I wasn't going to see her again.

"The Most Dangerous Game" Sequel Narrative Paragraph

The most dangerous game started off when Rainsford fell off the boat. As he swam to the island on where he heard the gunshots, he found a castle on the island. When he finally reached the castle he met Ivan the servant and General Zaroff. As General Zaroff told him about the most dangerous game. Soon after General Zaroff told him about the rules, he eventually agreed to play the game. After three days Rainsford won the hunt of the most dangerous game. After the first most dangerous game they do a new one and gladly Rainsford won again. That is what happened in the book of the most dangerous game.

Dragons Den: Shoes

My favorite brand type of shoes are converse. In case you have never seen these types of shoes before they are thin, usually black and white, and they are in they have a mark on them called "All Star". I do wear these shoes on a regular basis because I usually buy one pair at a time until the ones I have at the moment are ripping apart and they are my favorite types of shoes. I like these shoes because when I was younger I had friends wear them and while I was poor I could never be able to buy a pair, and now that I'm older and that I save up my money I can finally buy pairs of converse and completing my gothic look almost all the time. That is why my favorite shoe brand is converse.

“The Most Dangerous Game” Plot Change

Mr. Rainsford's decision was to try and catch his pipe that fell out of his mouth into the ocean. If he didn't try and catch his pipe he wouldn't have fallen into the ocean, but because he tried to catch his pipe he lost his balance and he fell into the water. If I was Mr. Rainsford I would have thought better of it and try not to catch my pipe and I wouldn't have fallen into the ocean. That's is what would of happen and Mr. Rainsford would've been on the yacht and be stuck in the Strip-Trap island
