Assignment #16: The Journey

 When I woke up this morning in my little cabin made of green logs. It has a one bedroom that is very large, one bathroom, a living room and a kitchen. My bedroom has a king sized bed with purple/black sheets and a black blanket. There is a small night stand right next to the bed  which has an alarm clock and a picture frame on top. I also have a big dresser that has half of my clothes in it, all my necessities on the top and also a mirror. On the other side of the room is my walk-in closet which has the other half of my clothes and all my shoes. In the bathroom there is a black shower curtain, black carpets and a black soap holder. Around the sink is a marble countertop, the countertops are also marble in the kitchen. In the kitchen is a large metal refrigerator, right next to it is the stove and the oven. Right next to the sink is the dishwasher and the food closet. In the living room is a big screen tv and in front of it is the dark brown couch. Next to the couch and in one of the corners of the room is two small glass tables that have small lamps on them. There is one window right above the glass table that's in the corner. 

 When I walk out the front door, I see this mountain meadow and a small lake. Around the lake is beautiful yellow flowers and long green grass everywhere. There are tall, green pine trees all around the meadow. The air is very fresh and you can smell the pine trees everywhere you go. The sun is shinning bright, I can hear all the little birds tweeting. I can see all the little chipmunks and squirrels running around, there are ducks floating and diving in the blue green lake looking for fish to eat. As I walk across the meadow to get to the mountains I see a few deer just walking around and some of them going to drink water.

 As I get to the base of the mountain it looks like a very long way to the top. The mountain is very rocky and it's not as green as the meadow below, it is more brown except the pine trees of course.

Assignment #15: Multiple Intelligence Essay

 There was once a man named Anthony who lived alone with his dog. He was a very rich and wealthy man, he didn't think that he needed a wife, friends or his family to make him happy so he never really talked to anybody. All he cared about was himself, his money, all the things he owned, and his dog. Whenever he would buy something new it would make him very happy and he never thought his happiness would go away. 

 One day his mother decided to go visit him in his big mansion and they sat down in the living room so they could talk. She told him " When are you going to find a wife, your not going to have that money forever" and all Anthony said was " I don't need a wife mom and I have a lot of money, I'm sure I'll have it for a long time time". She could never reason with her son, so we went home but before she left she only said one thing to him..."good luck son". After that he was wondering why his mom told him that, but after a few minutes he just forgot about everything she told him.

 A few months later Anthony notices that something is wrong with his dog so he takes him to the vet. The vet tells Anthony that his dog is very sick and it would be best to put him to sleep so he doesn't have to suffer anymore. Anthony is crying when he goes in the room to say goodbye to his best friend. When he goes home he decides to stop at the mall and he buys himself a few things hoping it would make him happy again. It worked, but the next day the sadness came back and this happened everyday. He would be sad so he would go buy something to make him happy.

  After a month or two, Anthony only had about $500 left. He spent all his money in that little time, but even though he didn't have a lot of money it didn't stop him from buying more things. Once he spent every dollar that he had, he had no idea what to do anymore. He was very depressed, all he did was stay home and lay in bed. One day his mom called him and she knew that something was wrong. He told her everything that happened and she said "you can come live with me and your dad if you want" and he decided to go. Being with his parents and talking about everything was starting to make him feel better about his life. Anthony finally realized that money isn't everything and it doesn't exactly make you happy, it's the people in your life that care about you that make you happy.

Assignment #14:Persuasive Essay: Uniforms

 I think that all students should be able to wear whatever they want and show their personality with what they wear. The administration should give us a chance to show that we could wear what we want but still follow the rules that they give us. I'm sure that the students wouldn't want to mess things up because nobody likes to wear uniforms. I think that most students will agree with having no uniforms at our high school, but if some students disagree than they should wear uniforms if they want as long as the rest of the students wear the clothes they would like to wear.

 Students would like to wear their normal clothes to school because it expresses their personality and shows their style. If everybody wears exactly the same thing everyday, I think it will be boring because nobody wants to look the same. There might be other ways to express yourself, but it's kind of hard when you have to dress a certain way and only wear certain colors. In elementary and middle school, I had to wear uniforms and honestly I didn't really like it but I didn't have a choice. There were only some days when they let the students wear their normal clothes and everybody was happy we didn't have to wear the uniforms for a day.

 I think that the school uniforms are kind of ugly. They only have certain styles and colors you could pick from. Maybe if they made the uniforms more fashionable or something, the students probably wouldn't mind wearing them. Once in awhile you could find normal clothes that are the colors of uniforms, but I don't think that happens very often. If you don't follow the dress code it seems like you get in a lot of trouble just for that and I think that it shouldn't be a big problem because they are just clothes. It's like there could be worse problems at the school, but the teachers and administration end up going after the students that didn't follow the dress code.

 Another thing about school uniforms is that our parents have to go buy us new clothes just for school every year because eventually we will grow out of the clothes from the year before. Uniforms aren't that cheap either and there's a lot of families that don't have much money to buy their children new clothes. Just for their children to go to school they have to find ways to buy the uniforms and once school is over it's not like we are going to wear them again. We will either throw the old uniforms away or we will give them to somebody else, so they could use them.

 Also, students aren't the only people that don't like the uniforms, there are teachers that don't like to follow the dress code either. They only follow it because it's their job and they don't want to end up getting fired. Another thing the students don't like is when the school bands certain clothing because it's "gang related". Just because it could be "gang related" doesn't mean that the people who wear it are in gangs. Like to me it's just clothes that you wear, it doesn't mean I'm in a gang. If I wear those certain clothes, I will get in trouble for sure and then the administration will probably call my parents. It's like they think the parents have all the time in the world to bring their child a change of clothes. Most parents have jobs or they are out getting things done and they can't answer their phone or something.
