Talking these ideas out :)

The most thing that struck me out was about Food Inc and the different of the food system. I dont agree with the fast food companies or other food that is modified to whatever other companies. Every companie food has the same teast of any meal you have in any locations. I think its not healthy because of they way they are doing them. All of the effects are going to the world by the way they are doing to all of the foods. My family and friends have no idea the conditon of the slaughtered animal were so bad that is now connect to all of the food system. They agree with what I think about companies that are invloved with the food system. And I disagree with the people by killing the animals even though are food is made by animals....

School Daze II

Quote:"Education occurs among them as constantly and effortlessly as education occurs in a household where there's a three-year-old. Unless you confine it to a crib or a playpen, there's simply no way to stop a three-year-old from learning."
Response: I think that having a three-year-old having to stay in household from learning is bad they need education even though they have household is not the same if they go to school. Even though they have three- years -old they need some education. Even though many people think that 3 year old cant really have education I think most of kids can have a good education no matter if your younger or old everyone need the same education.

Leilony Getting Attacked

Link to zine :)
Leilony was only 15 years old. She was tall and skinny and her eyes were blue like the sky, she likes to party a lot and be with her boyfriend and her friends and family.

It was a Friday night when Leilony was having an argument with her parents at her big and nice house. Leilony never listened to her parents. They were arguing because Leilony wanted to go to a party with her boyfriend and her friends. She opened the door and went to have a walk at the park it was kind of far away like 30 minutes from her house. After a couple of hours it was really night. After a couple of minutes she went back home. She was walking alone. It was so late and dark she just walked and walked trying to get to her house. She was walking alone in the street, when she was walking there were two guys in the corner on the street, and another one on the other side of the corners. She was really scared that they might do something to her. Even though she was scared she kept walking. The guys were looking at her and after a while the guys started to follow her, In a moment they grab her took everything out of her purse and they took her with them in an old house.

The house was so old that the doors were broken and the windows too. It was yellow with white and it only had one room were they had Leilony it was very dark inside the house, the walls were falling all the house was falling down.

When they took her away she was scared because she didn’t know what they were going to do to her. She was thinking if she hadn’t left her house this would not have happened. She didn’t know what to do. She couldn’t defend herself. She was crying so hard that her eyes were red. She was feeling terrible she was crying and screaming at the same time please let me go. “I want to go with my parents”, the guys said, “no you’re not going with your parents until we get the money”.

As soon as they got to the old house the guys tied her from her hands and her legs. Leilony couldn’t stand up or do anything. The guys just give her bread and a cup of water. After two days the guys had made a call to Leilony’s parents and told them that they want 6,000 thousand dollars so that the girl would be alive or else they were going to kill her. Her mom and dad were crying.

After a week the guys called back and told her parents to bring the money, but they told them not to call the cops. Her parents were scared. They didn’t care what the man said to them, they still called the cops to go with them, so when they went to take the money the cops went with them.

When they got to the park at night her dad put the money on the ground and when the guy came out from where he was hiding he pointed the gun at her dad. When the guy got the money the cops came out from where they were hiding. They were shooting everywhere at the park. They shot one of the guys boom boom the guy felt to the ground and the guy was all dead with his eyes open and blood all over him and the others were arrested. Finally Leilony was with her parents again and she decided to listen to her parents and not leave the house anymore and not even at night she feel very disappointed to herself.

After a month one of the guys that took Leilony ditched the jail and he decided to kill Leilony’s dad. So Leilony’s dad went to go buy some food for his wife and his daughter, but after a while it was getting dark and Leilony’s dad didn’t come back. She and her mom were worried. After a while the phone rang, it was the cops. They told Leilony’s mom that her husband was dead, Leilony cried like she never had her eyes were so watering and red her make up was all mess up. She couldn’t help it. She was feeling bad that she wanted to die to because her dad was not with her anymore, she didn’t know what to do anymore. Now Leilony and her mom had to move on. They were alone and didn’t have her dad anymore. Since then Leilony always listened to her mom.

Years had passed and Leilony finally graduated from school like her dad had wanted her to. Now she works as a teacher and knows what to do now since she’s 20 years old. She had decided to get married with her boyfriend and wanted to have a lot of kids. Leilony’s mom was so happy that she said, “I’m happy for you and I know that your dad its here he would be happy with you daughter. Leilony cry because she was happy of all the decision that she had made for her and her family she never thought this was going to end it like this.

Reflection

1. How does a hero become a hero?
They become hero by always been there in the good and bad times

2. Project Description- What was the Hero in My Eyes project?
The hero in my eyes project was that we had to pick someone that has been there for us. Then we had to write an essay about why they are our heroes we had to be very descript.

3. Process- What steps did you take to get to the final product?
Well we had to do drafts and then we had to go with our peer, so they can make sure we had everything good. After we did that we had to type our final draft

4. Reflection- What did you learn? What challenges did you encounter?
What would you do the same or different? How will this help you later?
Hero isn’t a person that has only powers a hero can also be a person who is always there for you.

My challenge was doing the hero CS I didn’t understand how to do it at the beginning but now I know how to.

What I would have done better was that I would add more information to my final draft.

This would help me improve my essay

I used wonder because I sometimes ask to myself all those questions on my hero essay

Giving advice to my problems

This person that she turns to be my hero she’s 25 years old she’s very pretty has brown eyes and her name is Marilyn. She was at my house sitting down in the couch watching TV when she sees me there sitting down with my face all sad. I had told her that I was having problems. I ask her when I talk to you about my problems how do you feel knowing that you’re helping me on them? She said, “I feel good knowing that I can help other people. I especially like helping my sister-in-law because it makes me feel like I am helping a young sister that I never had.” As Marilyn was talking to me I felt kind of special because she had told me that besides just being a sister-in-law I was like a sister to her, I was happy with a smile on my face.

As we were talking I was thinking in my head how does she feel when I’m telling her my problems? I had asked her that and she told me that she, “Feels good because it makes me know that you trust me and that you know you can always count on me.” I was impress you have told me that I never herd that from none of my sisters-in-law.

After a while we stop talking and we were just there watching a movie and through the movie I ask her do you like helping me by giving me advice and helping me on my big problems? “Of course I like helping you. I can relate to most of your problems because I went through the same problem as a teenager”, said Marilyn
Once she had told me if she likes helping me I had ask her how you do know how to fix my problems? She was thinking about it. Marilyn said, “well I don’t feel like I always know the answer to everything but I try to learn from my life experience and I try to give you good advice so that you don’t make the same mistakes I made”, I told her yeah I know. So that’s why I’m going to do good in school.

I was really into asking her a lot of questions about my problem I really wanted to ask her this question because it was one of the most important one. I really want to know if you like helping me on my problems? As Marilyn answer my question, saying that “I like helping you because I don’t want to see you get hurt and I like to see you succeed. I was like really happy that I had a sister-in-law like her she has helped me realize that I do care for her.

Every time we have a conversation about someone I’m always telling her my problems. I told her to tell me when she feels she helps me that most she told me “The time I help you the most when you had boyfriend and homework problems. I feel that I have helped you a lot with school and homework. Ever since you were in kinder grade you always ask for help. I have also seen grow from a little girl to a beautiful teenager and have seen you get heart broken more than once. I know every time this happens it always make you feel better when you talk to someone about you problem I’m glad that person is me,” said Marilyn. Did you feel sorry for me when you have helped me on my problems? “I feel bad and sad when you have really bad problems. But most. of the time I feel proud of you because I know that no matter how hard the problem is you always find a way to solve it and make it all better”, she said. I was really proud she shows me that she dose care about me and that no matter what, she’s always going to be there for me.

A Special Moment In My Life

Catching the signal from one of her friends, Carolina brushed her skirt, took a deep breath and walked towards where he was sitting. She couldn’t believe that he was right there feeling her touching around her waist. Her Blue eyes were as blues as the water. She was wearing a baby blue skirt and a white shirt. Her Legs were an earthquake. Angela thought how time never waits for anymore. Angela finally decided to talk to the guy she was having a crush on him. She had been waiting for this moment to come. She sat next to him in the rocks looking at the water and she said, “I always see you and you’re always standing there with your friends.” “Well my name is Carolina.”

Hey My Name is Christopher yeah I ‘m always with my friends because I Like to kick it with them a lot.” “I love you’re name Carolina you’re so pretty.”

Carolina smiled, “Thanks you’re really cute and you seem nice person to be with.” They were talking for almost a 1hour Carolina wanted to date him so bad she wanted to spend time with him. When they started walking Christopher ask her if she wanted to go to the movies.

“Yeah I really want to,” she said.

“Cool, hey hit me up some other time here is my cell phone number.” Carolina grabs her phone and stared saving Christopher’s number. Carolina was so nervous she couldn’t wait to go with him to the movies. She was so happy that when she got home back she started calling her friends and telling them the story of her and Christopher.

My Boyfriend Breaking My Heart (We Are Back Again :))

It was a sunny day, at lunch and I started walking to Vons when I suddenly herd somebody calling my name. It was my ex, “Hey Ara come here,” he said. We were in front of Vons people were walking around us, we could hear the cars of the stores moving, flowers around us, soda cans being opened and people just eating.

I couldn’t stop staring at him. He looked so cute with his black shirt spike hair and baggy pants, but I had a bad feeling about this. He usually gives me a hello kiss. Looking at his lips moving I wanted to kiss him, hearing those words coming out of his juicy lips made me worried. Looking at his brown eyes made me remember of all the good moments we had. Then out of nowhere he says to me that our relationship is over. It took me by surprise it made everything around me stop, and it made my heart feel a deep pain.

As he was talking saying that it was over I couldn’t believe it especially after all the good moments we had, like his birthday and when we went to parties and we danced together having his arms around my waist and moving to the sound of music. Just looking at his eyes made me have my tears coming from my eyes. I couldn’t believe all the words that they were coming out of his mouth I was so shocked. I felt so sad after all this, after all the things we did together. I just hope that this pain that I feel will some day go away.
I feel like I would never have my life the same after every special moment we had.

All those moments change my life since I can’t touch those juicy lips his hands grabbing my hand and when he had his hand around my waist. It’s hard to move on after every little thing you do with the person you love. As I’m showing you I hope u can realize that love kind of hurts but at the same time is something really special.

I Can hear waves moving.At first it sound it really soft rocks following down from the top.Then I though it was good. Like about a second when the sound start it to go faster I could hear steps like someone was chancing other people.It also sound it like someone was eating something that was really hard. It sound really loud and scary after when I hear it I couldn't stop listing to it. It sound it scare that every time you go somewhere dark you going to remember this sound as you walk you going to feel someone behind you. When I hear this sound I feel lonely its a feeling that you cant explain.Every time you hear this sound you just want to look around and see that nobody is behind you. It sound like a train going on the woods without destination.I cant put nobody in this position were you can hear this scary sound.You can hear trees moving.Even though its scary It seem like if i want it to be there because it sound really calm. Everyone who listens to this sound could relax and enjoy the sound. I recommend that you listen to this sound

S.L.O.B Character- What I Did This Weekend

It was a Sunday morning. It was a really cold day I had to wake up so early to help Mary to do the honey. Mary and I we were at the Kitchen, Rosaleen and June were coming to the kitchen too. After a while August was going to do the dinner for everyone. August was the first one to be awake. After a minute I was thinking that what if T-Ray wanted it to take Mary and me away from Rosaleen, August and June. I didn't know what to do if I should have told Rosaleen about what I was thinking.

We were at the house the whole day because it was to cold to go out. Been with them it made me happy. Even though I was thinking about the problem that I had. I was really scare that T-Ray was going to come over for Mary and me. I was thinking about it all day I couldn't stop thinking about it. I couldn't even eat because I had T-Ray on my mind. After this I had a dream about my mom I was crying because she was dead Rosaleen sow me cry she was talking to me she said, what's wrong I was like I'm crying because mom is not with me anymore Rosaleen told me don't cry anymore your mom always going to be with me anywhere I go. I couldn't stop crying it hurt me so bad that she wasn't with me anymore by my side.

After dinner, June told me why was my eyes red, and I told her what I had told Rosaleen. June had told me the same thing that Rosaleen said to me. I thank Rosaleen, June, Mary, and August to be there for me when I need them. The sun was going down and I was really tired of helping Mary do the honey. Before I went to bed, I told Rosaleen and June thanks for helping me. When I got to bed I fall asleep right away. I was ready for the next day to make some more honey.

Favorite fictional hero

My favorite fictional hero would have to be Superman, I think he is the survivor of our planet because he help people.
