1. The families must obey strict rules to avoid discovery. Which rules ould be the hardest for you to follow?The rules that would be the hardest thing to follow would be the no talking thing from 9 to 6 o’clock. Then the no using the washroom from sertain hours to sertain hours.



Why? i think this because I’m a talker so I can’t be quite. Then I always have to use the washroom.
2. In scene 1, what does Mr.Frank find in the secret rooms?
In scene 1, the things Mr. Frank finds in the secret rooms are things left behind by the people that were hiding. He found a white glove that belonged to Anne. He also found the scarf that Anne made him for Hanukkah.


B. How are these objects connected with the rest of the act?
These objects are connected with the rest of the act becausee they were given in a scene out of the act. They had some type of symbolic meaning.


3. What special meaning does Hanukkah have for the families?

The meaning that Hanukkah that is special is that Hanukkah means that they are free and can celebrate like when they were back before the war. It meant families coming together in the good times and bad times.


B. what do Anne’s presents show about her?

The present show that Anne is a loving person that she cares. It show’s that even in the worse conditions she finds hope and spreads it.


C. Why did the others react with enthusiam to their presents?

I think that the others acted with enthusiam to her gifts for different reasons for example in my piont of view some where being nice, while others actually enjoyed their gifts.

4. With a partner, discuss Mr.Frank statement, “The are..no locks that anyonr can put on our mind.” How does Anne prove this true?

Anne true’s this statement because in her diary she writes that she still thinks that there are good people in this world. Through all that she was gone through she believes that there are good people. She also finds love in the situtation that she’s in. most people would of given up with their lives she made the most of it.


5. What is the histrical cause that forces the Franks to go into hiding?

The historical reason in why the Franks went in to hiding was that the Nazi’s were killing any Jews or what they considered the “enemies of the state.”

B. What affects does this situation have on their daily lives?

The affect that this situation has on their daily lives is that they can’t go out so there stuck in between walls. Then the girls and Peter can’t go back to school, they won’t see their friends anymore. For the grown-ups they had to be mature and not show their fear. It affected them in many different ways.
6. In scene 2, Anne and Peter discuss the Star of David on their clothes. A. what affects do the Nazis intend the wearing of the stars to have on the Jews?

I think that the effect that the Star of David had on the Jews that the Nazis’ intended was to make them feel as a minority. The star was to represent the lower class that they supposembly were.

B. What background information about the war and the Nazis’ treatment of the Jews helps you to link this cause with its intened effects? The bakground information that helps me link this cause to its affect would be the consentration camps. The forced labor that they had, then the worse one’s the extermination camps.

7. Dialoue: Reveals character and relationshiops: for example when Anne and Peter have those convensertions how the matured. this shows that Peter has changed his point of view of Anne. then this also shows that Anne is intrested in hearing about how she has changed not from the out-side but i the inside.

Advances the action of the plot: When Mr.Dussel wants to go to answer the phone in the offic thinking its the thieft asking for more money. Mr. Frank refuses to answer because then if its not the theift then they will find out there hiding.

Develops the conflict: One thing that developes a conflict is when Mr.Frank finds out that Mr.Van Dan is the one stealing all the food. this brings conflic because every one starts to take a side.

1.what would do you like best about Anne Frank?
How would you like haavng her as a friend?
I think that I would of liked having a frined like Anne. What I like best about Anne is her persenality. I like how she’s out-spoken and makes the most of everything.

2.what disturbing news does Mr. Krarler brign on New Years Day?
The disturbing new that Mr.Krarler brings on New Years Day is that some one suspects that the Franks didn’t go to New Zeleand and that they are hiding.

B. what hint does this give about the ending of the play?
The hint that this gives us about the ending of the play is that they are discrovered that someone tells them that they are hiding.

3. what is the time spam of Act II?
The time spam was 1943-1945.

B. how have the characters changed since the end of Act I? the characters have changed because we see that Anne and Peter talk more to each other now. Mr. and Mrs. Frank seem more aware of things and are more cossies. Then Van Dan’s are kind of the same but Mr.Van Dan becomes more greety.

C. how do you know that Anne has changed?
We know tha Anne has changed because accurding to Peter she becomes more quiete. Then she becomes intrested in Peter. We also know that she has changes because she think back on how she treated her mother. She reflets on how bad she was to her.

4.how did Anne believe that “…….in spite of everything….people are really good at heart?”
I think that Anne believe this because she saw the good in Miep and Mr. Krarler. She saw how they risked their own lives to hide them and how they would bring them news and stufft hey need. She believed in that because she knew her dad was a good person for taking in Mr. Dussel. She saw the good side of things which made her believe that people where goo at heart.

B. what odes Mr.Frank mean when he says “She puts me to shame”?
what Mr.Frank means when he said that she puts him throught shame is that even she had more hope of things getting better than he did. She had hope in the end even things seem like theuy weren’t going to get any beter she had hope, he didn’t have much or any hope which got him to say that she put him trough shame.

5. for each if the following events, identify one cause and one effect: (a)Mr. Van Dan decision too steal food.
I think that a cause that lead Mr. Van Daan to steal food is that he was hungry. In the diary it disribes that he is an offly large guy. With this discribetion we can tell that he is fat. Since he was hungry he stold the food to stop hearing his stomach grumble for food. The effect that this caused was that the people were taking sides and that they were going to start spliting everuthing inclluding the food equally.

(b) Mrs. Frank change of heart about wanting the Van Daans to leave. What may have caused Mrs.Frank to change her mind of kicking out the Van Daan at heart I think was how Anne reacted. She saw that it was one mistake that the father did, that this shouldn’t harm their relationship. The effect of this would be that they got more close to each other they saw that this was the real big arrgument that they had ever had in the two years that they were living in.

6. what are some possible causes of Mrs. Van Daan’s attitude towards Anne’s and Peter’s relationship?
Some cause of Mrs. Van Daans’ attitude towards the relationshio between Anne and Peter is that their both young and don’ t possimbly want them to do something they wil regret. Since their both young they don’t want to deal with things like them kissing or hugging I think that’s why Mrs.Van Daan had the attutide that she had about there relationship.

7. living in close quarters has multiple effects on residents of the “Secret Annex.” List three effects that result from this sigle cause.
Three ways that they have been affected is that one they bairly had info money to buy food. Two that there where many people living in a one room apartment or attic. The third way that they have been affected is that both Anne, Peter and Margot have lost there childhood. They can’t go back and run around, play games with their frineds anymore.

8. Miep:Brings flowers and cake to the attic rooms: to cheer up the place.
Mr. Van Daan: steals the food.:he still felt hungry since his a big guy.
Peter Van Daan: he tlks more to Anne: he thinks she has matured more and is a bit more quiete.

9. what possible motivations might an informer have for teling the authorities about the famillies in hiding?
I think that the motivation for someone to tell the authorities that a families is in hiding would be to gain something. For example if he’s a criminal then he may reseave less years or things like that.

Adam"s Diary

WEDNSDAY-She was as far by the most curious creature a live she always wondered about everything. She was always wants to know why and what for everthing.Sometimes i hide from her because she's so curious what if i don't have the answers what would she think of me.I'v been wondering thinking to my self why she always wants company. Doesn't she understand that in the loniless is when genius get there great idea's.I think that she's just a curuious one. The animals like her and she likes them. She names everything, when she see's it she has a name for it.It never a curred to me that she told me her name. I don't know why she did it, but it amazed me how she felt when I seemed uncaring. She's just another creature here. Now it is night and she loves how the "moon," like she called it ,comes back almost every night. Its funny to watch someone that's always so curuois.

FRIDAY-She does the weirds things.Some how she has this way of making the things so likeable and loveable. Like I never notice the difference betweeen the lion and the tiger. She always went away for some time at the being when I would avoid her. Today i saw her in that rock where she sits at when she's sad. She didn't see me but I saw her.

The Outcasts of Poker Flat

If you had to blame someone or something for the outcasts' deaths,who/what would you blame and blame why?
-Uncle Billy
-citizens of Poker Flat
-bad luck
-outcasts

In my point of view I think I would blame the citizens of Poker Flat. I think if they didn't feel that they were bigger and better than everyone then these people might of still been with us. In my point of view people are supposed to be given second chance's. Once a person that has done bad or has lived the wrong way see that people really care about them then they will show an effort. I think that if these people weren't kicked out of there own then they would of never died. In my eyes people that have done things that are bad in some points deserve a second chance. For example Mr.Oakhurst didn't seem like a bad guy. He cared about them because we was looking out for there well being. The ladies didn't seem as bad as they we were told they were. They actually had that motherly sense, they cared for the girl. Mother Ship ton's died in order for Penny would live. They knew they lived the wrong way and almost showed redemption. For example the ladies treated Penny very good, Mr.Oakhurts was like the daddy of all the little chicks. He looked out for all of them. The only one that didn't seem to cope or get it was Uncle Billy. He ran away with the supplies and horse's. i would blame the citizens of Poker Flat. In my point of view they were the one's that should be blamed because if they weren't kicked out the town they would of have still lived.

Kate Chopin

The Story of an Hour : in my point of view the women to me is understandable. if the men treated her bad an have total control over her then she had the right to be happy. at the end when she died i was shocked because the man came back alive and it said that they had checked twice to break the news to her. i taught that she was going to be free and i saw how bad she wanted her freedom. i liked how the author always has a twist in the end. like who would of taught that the lady was going to die of knowing that her husband wasn't dead. also who would of known she was going to be happy when he supposedly died. the story was okay but i really didn't like it. i don't know why it was interning but its not my type of favorite story.

The Blind Man : this story is a very political story in my point of view. when the story described the things and how they were hap ping the things reminded me of how the mistreat the incapacitate in Mexico (yet no offence to Mexico.) i could see how the people would just go on with there lives and not even notice this blind man. when the rich guy got runed-over everyone stopped and went to help him. this shows that if you have money and are important you will get attention. then what about all those poor people that have to straggle just to make it out one day. this isn't fair and i loved how she used a blind humbled man to show this from my point of view. i really liked this story because it talked about what we go on with in our own daily lives. this happens so quick that sometimes were not even aware of it. the way she goes about telling the reader the difference between a poor blind man and a rich man is amazing. she brings out the daily truth newspapers and TV try to hide from us when they talk about people that are different from us.

Desiree's Baby : Desiree's baby talks about topic that has been in history racism. the taught of you being superior than the other person just because of the color of your skin is so sad. how back then they were treated. Desiree's husband is a man with great power but also abuses it. he miss treats them just because of the color of there skin. no one knows that in him the same blood run in which those he miss treats. the topic is very interesting and has great details about how the act. i was shocked at the end when it was him and not her that had the blood of those of colored people. i never understood why be like this i mean we all are human and we all have feeling and emotions. then again this was a time of ignorance and superiority. i think that the author has a good point of view and gets here point trough.

Dr. Heidegger's Experiment

today i tried an expirariament my friends came in to withness something unvoliable. a rose that my beutiful dear fiance gave me. they had already seen the affect on the rose and they went for it. they drank from the Foundine of Youth. they see that they are young and go to there old elves again. they had chocked on the chance of being young again. they saw that each would get a secound chance. they wanted to go back to the youth years there years of vanity. i saw that they just drank==-uncontrolabily. i had n-ever seen them like that it was as it Fools in a circus.

I didn't know how they would react was a mister. they acted like goons in a world of no rules. They wanted a Fulltime of youngness. they wanted there young years back and would do and thing to get it . As the flower went back, to its old self they would ton the reaction of them was the most unbelievable thing they wanted move of that wine, they wanted to do anything to get more they showed me that being young, isn't always good. they showed me that they would Alulae it in vena they showed me that things aren't always the way they as they seem.

His eyes got that look of the demon in him, his eyes couldn't believe it. His words couldn't come out, he stayed emotion less and stood there inshock.
"stop!leave everyone leave.'
"I SAID LEAVE!!NOW!!!"
He wanted to be alone he couldn't take it, that his own blood is black. That all this time he was trying to be nice to them he had the right to be angry at him. He walked in and the yellow lady saw him she just backed away she saw that he had the devil that he was posed. He walked pass the office and went to drear were the crystal bottle that would make him forget about everything laid. he open the drawer and saw the bottle he got the shot cups and drank.The yellow lady peeked in and saw how the shadows of the bottle were slawloing him.She closed the door quick before he could see her she has afraid that if he saw her, he would wipe her. She left with a concerned look in her face.

"Take this and go."
He was destraite for alchola he needed a drink. Later when they brought him the bottle he snatched it.

Flowers for Algernon

if you were given a choice to have an operation that would make you much smarter would you do it, especially if you knew the effects of the surgery would only be temporary? Why or Why not? Use examples from the story.

I think I would not do the operation for many reason's. i would have the smartness for some time but then i what would I do after the thing is gone. Yeah my life would change for sometime but it would go back to normal. It would be cool and i would like to play smart for the a while but then after what good would it do. it showed me a world of new things and i can finally understand things better know than before and things have reason's. when it's all over things will just be more confusing to me. i think this because if once i got it and then i don't get it i would get frustrated. i would get mad and wonder why i did this to myself.i would be very confused becasue the people that saw me the way i was before are going to see me different. for example in Charlie went he wnet back to work he felt bad and weird. the people didn't see him the same and he didn't see the people the same way. i don't want this for my myself. i wouldn't do this because the opeation would have more negatives than possitives.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, chpt. 8

explain what this story says about each of these issues family,age,beauty. use examples about the story to support your explanations.

in the story of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button they set an image of family,love and beauty that allot of people aren't a were of. for example everyone knows that family stays together through the good times and the bad times. in the story the father of Benjamin rejects the fact that his baby is a 70-year-old man. he wishes for a second that his son is black, in the late 1860's i think this was a horrible thing because they were like nothing they would get sold like a piece of property. this means that in this family the father was a very cruel person. this shows that the family image that the books paints for us isn't a very healthy family. they don't accept him for how he is because he came out a 70-year-old-man. they wanted him to do baby things that weren't for him. they should of understand that age is a number and that's all it is.

age is a number. just because the person came out with the wrong age doesn't mean they don't feel. on the other the book teaches us that age is very important.that the way people look at you is the way they will treat you. it shows that when Benjamin was actually fifty-five something when he looked 15 and was treated as a fifteen year old. his wife was angry and furious when he would go younger like the time when he came back from the war. age is a number but in this book they show us that it is an important factor of life. another thing that many people have to understand is that true beauty is from within inside not from the outside.

in the book they teach us that Benjamin gets tired of the way his wife looks. this shows and tells us that the beauty on the outside is the one that matters the most form the books point of view. Benjamin was getting younger but his wife was ageing this in the occurring events of the book all that it demonstrated was that the outer beauty was the one that's important. the book showed us that beauty is something that you need. you need the society to look at you as something beautiful. the book tells us that the beauty of the out-side is more important than any emotions of the person.

The Curiuous Case of Benjamin Button,chpts.3-7

After reading chapter 3-7, predict three problems you think Benjamin will encounter and give your solutions for each??

i think that three problems that Benjamin may encounter is one people will think he is the age looks. the second problem was that he may get board with the business he was because his life was all action in when he helped out in the army. the third problem i think that he may go through is loosing his dad's trust or the respect and bond they were finally having.
the solution i would give the first problem is that he lives his life by the age he looks like. if he looks like a teenager then he sold maybe act like one. he should go with what is going on in his life and make the fullest of his own life.

the secound problem he may face is that he may get board of his buisness.since his life was so active and now he's going bsck to a buisness he may get board.
the solution for the second problem is for him to find a new interest and a new hobby or something that may keep him interested. i think that he news to find something that will keep him interested and active at the same time.


the thrid problem that he may face is that his father may be ashamed of him once he finds out that he's leaving his family becasue he's not attracted to his wife anymore.the third problem's solution would be to live with out the trust or respect of his dad or to try to reach to an agreement or something like that. when the dad sees that he is going to leave his own family then he will be ashamed of his son. only he will take it even more serious because he does not understand or will. Benjamin will have to try to talk to him or just go on with his life with out any consent of his life.

The Case of Benjamin Button, chpt.2

Roger is so overly concerned with how Bejamin looks and is worried about what people are going to say. What should he do??

i think that Roger should let go of his imiage and just care for His Son.i think that he is in a hard situasation but still this is his osn and he has to take care of him and he should not act the way he is acting. he should think that this is he's son and that no matter what they need to nurcher him and treat him just the same as if he was a normal baby.sure they have money and have a high society class but this should not be an obstical that interfears with the love they have for him. he is there son. yeah he looks old and maybe is wise but they still need to give him all the love they would of given a normal baby boy. i tihnknthat Roger shouldn't really care that much about how his son is. he should be thankful because god gave him a son and a chance to be a father. i think that al in all he should forget about what people are gonna say that's his boy and nothing will ever change that.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button chpt.1

What would you have done if you were Roger Button in Chapter 1?

i think i would of reacted the same way Mr.Button did but wouldn't have gone right away with the "what will people say of me." i think that this is a very negative way to think about your own life and when you have a child specially. when you have a child you need to bring down your ego. i think that Mr.Button over reacted and is a little hard. i don't know why he all of a sudden starts to deney him. i can't believe doing this to any of my own children. you need to accept your children any way god gave them to you. i would of accepted the son any way he looked like because this is my son blood of my own blood. i wouldn't of taught about what people were going to think about me now. i would of just taken him like MY SON just the way he is.

The hallway

I walk this empty hall
Full of darkness and shadows
I fear this emptiness
In my heart,
In my soul
I don’t know who got me here
In this hall there are no emotions
There are no tears there are no fears
There’s just blackness, zombies walk past me
One, in particular, kisses me
But I don’t see the light in him
I walk this empty hallway every day
I never learn.s
I just walk in the emptiness of my school.

The Secret

It was my best friend’s deepest, darkest secret and it would be hard one to keep. We had known each other since we were in 6-Th grade. We were never apart. We were the loud one’s back in middle school. We had always told each other everything. When we got to high school we also went to the same high school. It was the middle of our junior year. We had hit our jack pot, we hoked up with these two boys. Jenny my best friend, made the cuties couple in the school with her boyfriend Zack. Zack was cool, he wasn’t a good boy, but he wasn’t a trouble maker eighther. Apparently things between Jake and me didn’t work-out, so we broke-up. This didn’t harm the friendship I had with Zack. I remember they had this beach party all the juniors and only the juniors. I didn’t go because I had a concert to go to. Jenny of course went she had never missed an event like this one. I got a call from her a month later. She told me that her stomach was growing and that she was afraid that she was pregnant. We went to buy a pregnancy test at a store far way from both of our neighborhoods. If she was her parents were going to kill her she was an only child and they expected the best from her. We did the pregnancy test at my place the thing came out positive. We didn’t now what to do. The next day she came crying over to my house, she had told Zack and he broke-up with her right there and then. I couldn’t believe this was happening. She said she was going to have an abortion that there was no other way. The only reason I agreed with her was because if her parents found out that the last of her I would see. I remember the day clearly. It was a foggy spring day, when we arrived at the clinic. I wasn’t going to let her do this alone. When we left I saw in her eyes she was never going to the same.
It’s been ten years since that. Right now Jenny is married and has her “first kid,” he’s thirteen years old. She called me so we could catch up I had seen her since Christmas, it’s summer now. Were all sitting in the kitchen table and Max, her son ask’s her if she ever had an abortion. I froze at that moment I didn’t now what her answer was going to be. He had sworded that we weren't going to tell anyone what had happened that day. Now its ten years later and her son asks her this. She answered him almost crying “No honey I haven’t had an abortion.”
He left the kitchen, happily. When I had seen he was out of sit I asked her what she was going to do. She didn’t know I was the only one who knew about this. I felt suffocate I didn’t know what to do eighter. I told her I had to go. As I left and got into my car I see Max, coming to car.
“Cindy, you know my mom more than anyone in this world. You can tell me whether she had an abortion or not.”
“I can’t tell you does kind of things, I don’t know eighter.”
“Come on, don’t play with me I couldn’t help but to over here the conversation you and my had once I had “left,” the kitchen.”
“I….i don’t know what do tell you.”
I shut my car door and drove off as fast as I could. I didn’t know what to do. It was her deepest and darkest secret ever. It had become a hard to keep know. I had forgotten about it. The thing was about 10 years old. She had already made her life up again who was I to tell them what she had done in the past. I still didn’t know what to do. Later on that night I got I phone call from Max.
“Please Cindy tell me I need to know.”
“Why Max, why should I tell you. Why do you want to even know?”
“ You don’t know but my mom talks in her sleep. She has talked about a son. A son that never got the chance to see what life was. I want to know what she’s talking about. I read in the Internet that people who sleep talk, talk because it’s something that they want to do, or did and most of the time regret. I need to know if I was going to have a big brother.”
My hearth just pounded harder and harder it felt as if it was going to come out.
“I’m the right person to tell you that thing if it even happened. I’m not the right person to say something like that to you. You need to understand that.”
“Come on’ Cindy wouldn’t you like to know if your mother had an abortion and why she did it or what happened?”
I froze I did not know how to answer, I…I couldn't think straight. I had goose bumps.
“I have to go.” I said to him hanging up the phone I didn’t know what to do. The only thing that came to my mind was to call Jenny and tell her what’s going on.
“Jenny.”
“Yeah it's me you sound scared what’s going on Cindy.”
“It’s Max, he keeps asking me if you had..”
“DID YOU TELL HIM.!?’
“Of course not! We sworded to each other not to tell.”
“I know but come tomorrow in the morning and we both can talk to him about this.”
“OK.” As I hung up the phone I din’t know what to eighther know. If I went I would maybe break a pack that I had with her for so many years. Would Jenny even tell Max? What would happen if her husband found out? I don’t know. These questions hunted my head I couldn’t go to sleep. I woke up and got ready to head over to Jenny’d place. As I walk to the door I stop and wonder to my self if I should go. Tell me what you would do?? Would you go and tell her son or would you stay home and not say anything.

Her Mysterious Death

Her death was due to mysterious circumstances and I was assigned to the case. They gave me the direction to the scene of the crime but this place was some how fimiliar. When I got there I found out it was the circus where the young women had died. Her name was Lily, she was 23. She was an aerial silk girl. From what her co-worjers say she was very popular and was one of the main atraction of the show. What mite of cause her death then? I ask the co-workers if she ever had any enimies or x-boyfriends that mite of wanted to harm her. They said she was pretty quiete and kept most things to her self. No one from work really knew her. I meet this one girl they say it was her compation, her name is Vicky. I went to talk to the girl but it seemed as if she was expecting me.
“Hello I think your that privite investagetor that’s on the case of Lily’s misterious death?”
“Yes, that’s me do you remember what you did the night of her death?”
“Yeah, I was waiting in my room behind the curtins waiting for my moment. Like always she was there also getting ready. I had told to let me the opening act I had my friend who had comed from England to come see me. Of course she refused since i’m a biginer. So we had the show like always I left but she stayed behind with old man Mr. Smith.”
“Who’s Mr. Smith?”
“That’s the man that does the marionette show for the kids. Lily had thing for the gothic looking one which creap me out, she would talk to it and it was like if the could actually hear her but the thing is just a piece of wood with some clothes on in.You should go talk to him he was the most devasted.”
“Thank you for your time.”
As I walk tours the back of the circus I found an old man talkinf and pacing as if he was nurves. I didn’t see anyone next to him so I didn’t know who he was talking to.
“Ser are you Mr.Smith?”
“Yes why Yes I am. What can I do for you?”
“I am a dective I’m the case of Lily’s death. Was she close to you?”
“My beautiful young Lily, she was palended she had everyhting the looks the body. Poor little Scott her is the one that miss her the most. She would talk to him, she never spoke to any of the other young girls she was a special one I tell you.”
He pause and points to the doll.
“This is Scott he’s one of the marianettes I use for my show, boy did she love this doll to the end. I remember the night of her deafth she talked to him like almost every night right before she would do her show.”
He graped the marianette and made him say hello to me by making him shake his hand. When I looked at him it was like if his eyes were tring to tell me something. He had strange look in his eyes.
“Mr. Smith why is he dressed like that?”
“He’s dress as a gothic kid that rode’s the streets by himself. Lily loved him sinceshe had seen him the first day when I started working here.”
I take a look at the doll and its as if his hands were pointing at the man. I didn’t want to say anything because then the man would think I was crazy. I my self felt acward in that situasation and headed home. I looked up the circus and found some background informaiton. The circus has been here for more than 10 years but what would lead to the deafth of one of there own star’s. I went to bed and called it a day.
I woke up at 1:30 a.m. My dream was weird I couldn’t believe what I saw. In my dream I was in the circus and the marianette was talking to me. I don’t know it just told me something but I can’t remember what it is now that marianette wants to tell me something. I tried to go back to sleep but I couldn’t. I went to work at 8:30. At work I fouond another case in my desk it was a case not to far way from here. I went to the shop were the body of Jake Coner lays. He was a shop owner that owned a maranette shop. I look at the dolls and they all looked so creapy. One sood out from all of the reast. I picked her up she was a blonde hair marianette that was all dressed in black. I looked at her rist it had the word “Lily-n-Scott.”I went and asked the co-worker of Mr. Coner about the doll and its tatoo. He told me that an old weird man had left it one night in the front door about 5 years ago. He showed me a black and white photograft of two marianette’s and one I clearly knew was Scott. The old man Mr.Smith’s marianette. I couldn’t believe it the marianett like in my dream is trying to tell me something not this again. It’s been 3 years already and I’m not going back to the case that all most cost me my job. I couldn’t believe how it wasn’t that girl Vicky. She seemed so jelous about Lily. But I never found out how it wasn’t her. I almost lost the job to that case. Again I went looking for suspects. Again I went to the old man Mr. Smith. Apperintly it was his neice’s boyfriend. I asked him to see Scott. He told that the marianett was dead. He didn’t have use for it and that the act was old so he had to retire it. I remember seeing blue ink on the blonde doll apperintly he had blue ink on his black jeans. I aksed him how he had gotten that. He told me that it was just a stain. I toke him like I toke the doll as evidence to the crime. The chief didn’t see the connection to this crime. But something told me he had done it. I only needed five minutes with that old man and he would confece.
“So really why did you get ride of Scott that marianette that was your star?”
“I didn’t want to do it.”
“But you did it any way why if your lovely Lily love him why and your neice’s boyfriend why did he die.”
“There are thjings that you don’t know but happen.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Things that you won’t believe happen. That Lily she was special like I told you. Scott wasn’t just a marionette he actually had life. When she talk to him he listen.”
He had a pshico look in his eye’s. I saw him go into this shock mode. He was rocking back and fort. He would look alround. Like if someone was watching every word he was saying.
“Old Mr.Smith I have one last question for you.?”
“Did you kill Lily and Jake?”
“I didn’t want to things just have a weird of happeing does eye he looked at me like he said to do it. He was the one telling me to it I didn’t want to hurt her. Jake, jake knew to mush he was going to become unspot able. I had to it,”
“Why did you kill her?”
“I didn’t want to! The marianette it made me to it. He had that look. He wanted this I didn’t it was him!!”
As I walked out with the case in my hands I felt as if weight was taking of me. I looked back as they arested him and he too had a strage but erie look in his eye’s.

How to Make Logandale Better

I think logandale would be a better school if they had hand’s on learning. There were more programs that would help us for the future. They would have field trip’s. what do you think?
Logandale would actract more kids like teens by having hand’s on learing. Most kdsl learn nore when they us in practice what they are learning. Its always interesting tosee where the things come in handy. Kids like to play, by having projects that involve the lesson kids will learn more and like it. Do oyu want your child to have a job in which he was no experince or idea about?
Another thing that would help us keep the kids that we have is having programs that will help us in the future. If we have programs were we learn things that may help us in a fun way people will want to come to the school. Some kids don’t know what they want so if we have jobs were they can be exposed to different jobs they can have an interest. If kids are prepared for the future the school will have a good reputation and will get more students. Do you want your child to learn in an enviorment were she or he is confident nad tries there best.
If the school has field trips then we won’t lose kids. Kids and teens like to visite places that have links to what they are learing, they find things more intresting and fun. Kids will look forward to field trips wee they can learn but also they can be academic. Kids can keep their grades up if we have field trips because this can be a reward. Field trips will also look good on the school’s half. If the school is able to have field trips then this show’s they handle their kids well. Would you want your child to learn more nad have fun?
I think Logandale would be better if we had hand’ on learning. If we ahd moore programs that would help us for the future. If we have field trips. What do you think? What does Logandale need to be better?

"nancy's " life story

My mom had brought my new baby sister from the hospital but i didn't want my mom to come back. because of my sister they cut my moms stomach in half and that was not fair from what my counsins had told me. i didn't want a baby sister but i got one any way. when my mom came home i didn't like her any more she had this big ugly scar on he stomach but she didn't my cousin's were just playing and tring to scare me which they did. then my baby sister looked like a doll. she was always with her eyes close. she nerve really cried. i taught she was a doll. i wanted my mom to get ride of her. she was just ugly and small, i could fit her in a shoe box. she was so small and ugly. then as she grew up they never bought me things any more. her dad was always making my mom look after her any little thing that she didn't have my mom would be bladed for. then after the we left him things kind of stayed the same. by that Nancy was 3. it was all regular until she was 6. that day we came from school i was the one with the house key so we got home. we got home and started watching TV. then i gave her a piggyback ride. i lade her down in the bed next to the chimney. i had to go pee really bad when i went to pee. she started to cry and i went really quick to see her and she had this big hole in the right side of her eye. minutes earlyer everthing was fine. knowing this my mom was going to kill me. when they go there she told me what had happened i told her and she and my sister rushed to the hospital. after that she got this scar on her face. i remember Nancy was always in detention she was always a big mouth she could never shut-up in school. i would have to pick her up from detention almost every day of the week in seventh grade she was in secound grade. when we transferred schools she got even more weird she would wear all this baggy clothes and always was around boys.it was so weird. she became this really mean and "tough," girl. she was so loud and boyish. then she was so abbssed with smackdown. she would like know everything about the wrestlers sometimes i taught i had a brother instead of a sister. things just got weirder. then when she got to like the age of 12 and 13 she was huge. she was so Big. she was taller than i was and people taught she was 15 or 16. she was so big then the way she would dress. she always had tight pants then her shirts were also tight. then that time she had to be in some quince's a Caitlin. she was so dorky looking, she was wearing a dress for once then she looked all nice like a Girl. after that summer she was a Girl she would wear tight pants, and some skirt. only the thing that was weird me the most is what she turn out to be. my little sister is a PUNK! she wears those little pants that are SUPER tight at the Bottom. the shirts are to much sometimes. then she wears these socks that looks like Halloween came early. i like how she has her hair. but sometimes its too much when she wears her pink or purple pants she looks like a weird-o. she just PUNK.my sister so big and dorky she into allot of weird things and my mom let's her do things i couldn't do when i was 14. but still she's my sister and who knows what else she'll do in life.

I wish from Present Obama.....

I wish that Obama would change the immigration issue. There have been families spit for working with the wrong papers. For example many families are split because they are caught working with someone else’s documents. For this insistent they get split away from there families, all they wanted to do was feed there children and have a better life here in the U.S.
I wish that the President would find a way to keep these families together. I wish that he can keep these family together that the motherss can keep their kids with them. When the mothers a or fathers are away the kids miss them and are dramatically affected depending on the their age. Sometimes mothers leave behind 3 or 5 year olds. These kids sometimes are with the baby sisters when the mother or father don’t come then the babysitter doesn’t know what to do with them. Another thing I wish he could do is the issue of the immigrants being immigrants I wish president Obama could make these immigrants legal. For example some one that has worked there whole life can’t receive there retirement money because of there socal security number not being there’s. many people need treatment but are afraid to go because of there legal status. I wish the present could make a way so the immigrants can stay and support there families that are here or in there homelands. I also would like for him to make a way in which the new immigrants don’t have to go look for illigal papers in order to work. I wish that Present Obama would help the immigrants stay.

LiFe ChAnGInG EveNt

a life changing event for me would be when i turned emo. many people may think it's something simple that u can turn over night but it's not. in the summer of six grade was when i turned emo. i was going to seventh grade. in the summer i don't really know how it happened i would end up being sad. for some reason i just felt sad. i would try to find something to be happy for but couldn't i just couldn't be happy. when i went to get my hair cut i got bangs. my new clothes was all black, gray or some dark color. when i came to school that year i began the same way. i would be sad for no reason i had nothing to be happy about. everything was so weird and things mattered the most. it got to a point where i was supposedly emo but my the middle of the year i was. i would mainly have my head down in classes draw animals that were dead and things like that. by the summer time of seventh grade i was still emo. i would dress with black even do it was sunny. i had more reasons to be sad because i was out of school i couldn't see all my friends. then my mom she would not understand. she would just leave me to be me. this was another reason for me to be sad. things were not right. when things did go right there were always second consequence. there were always things that we had no control of and these things would control my life so far. now i'm still emo but now the things or reasons i'm emo are more untestable. my mom now accepts me for who i am but is still not proud of the person i seem to become.now things just come at me and i deal with them but now when people see me they have a different opinion about me they see something else. now i express my self, i do what i want to i am who i want to be. now this is who i am and what i am. now this year i am what i am and this is what changed me and what changed my life.

Parents Are Not the Best Teachers

I disagree with the statement that parents are not the best teachers.Parents don't lissten when you want to talk to them about something that is happing to you. Some parents won't open up. They say you can trust them and when you do you get in trouble. What do you think parents are the Best Teachers.

Parents don't listen when you want to talk to them about someting that is happing to you. If you get bullied at school when you want to tell your parents sometimes they see it as a silly childissh thing. When your in trouble and you want to tell them so you can be honest with them all you do is get yelled at because at what you did. Sometimes all you need is advice nad you end up getting yelled at or even worse hit. Sometimes parents need to let loose and hear their kids, but they won't.

Sometimes parents won't open up. As we grow up we explore the world more when we get to teen years they hide the sex talks away from us so we got and find out in other ways. One thing parents stay strick on is the way we dress. Sometimes they won't let us express our selves through the clothes we wear so we also hide ourselves from them. As the years change things we do for fun also change but our parents won't allow these things because they don't know about them so half of the time we have to do these things behind there back. So do you want to open do your kids can trust you?

They say you can trust them when you do you get in trouble. If you have friends nad you do something that you think is cool with them when you share it with your parents all they do is yell at you and tell you to dtop hanging out with them. When you get a bad grade and you want to tell them they jsut yell at you and ground you. They don't even let you explain or anything. When you trust them with something you think is valuable and important they go on and just tell you how wrong you are and how this will harm you. We kids sometimes want to say something but can't because we know our parents abd they won't accept it.

I disagree with the statement that parents are the best teachers. Parents don't listen to you when you want to talk to them about something that is happing to you. Sometimes parents won't open up. They say oyu can trust them and when you do you get in trouble. Tell me what you think do you think parents are the Best Teachers.

My best day ever would be the time when i went to the mall with Lesley. That day she wanted to go to go get Omar something because the next day it was going to be there 6 months aniversary. We were going to go after school at 3;45,but my mom thought i was ready, but i wasn't. I had left without my money, and had no keys to the house. She was at the laundry mat so i got stuck going to the mall without money. I got to Lesley's house and then we waited until her dad was ready.We left her sister fall asleep so we went by ourselves. At the mall we were just looking around we ordered the dogtags. Then we got to Claire's we were just looking around and Lesley liked some neckleces but she had wasted her money already.She was thinking about just taking them but i told her not to so we just left before she liked something else.After that we went to Raven Girl an all girl clothing store there we just looked but both of us didn't like anything. As we were leaving there these two ther girls coming out of Carson's and the sercurty officer told them to follow him because some items were missing. We just continued to walk becasue we knew he wasn't talking to us. There we were both glad we didn't steal anything. I would say this was one of my best days because I got my friend out of trouble this time. It was also fun.The chains were done so we went to Kohl's there Lesley started to put make-up on. It was free, they were the sample one's. Then a lady came to see what she could help us in so I just made a fake story about acne products. After that we went to the perfume section were we tried some perfumes on. There we had the most fun I would say. We tried this Haraujuko perfume by gwen stefani. She asked me to see how it smelled and i asked her the same. We started laughing because we were like smiffing each other.What we didn't know was that the lady's behind the counter were also laughing at us. We didn't how to get out of the store with out passing through there. We finally just walked through the clothes and ran toward the door. After the dogtags were done we went to McDonalds to get something to eat. Then we left I got home at seven but my mom was cool with it. I finally was going out and my parents were cool with it. I finally was a teenager.

Nature Haiku

I got roses today

I was shocked when I saw them

I feel really special

Her Smile

When I looked at her smile, I knew she was up to something. Her smile gave me chills down my spine some would say that i got goosebumps. She was still smiling at me but I didn't know that this was only a distraction. All of a sudden the lights go off i walked out in to the hallway to see what was going on. All the lights were turning on and off. She was still in the same spot were she was when i walked into the room, still smiling and staring at me. I looked up to the walls to see if the cameras were working all I saw was an empty space in the corner of the wall. I yelled for any one to come help me but no one seemed to be in the school. I rushed down the stairs, i see smoke coming from the double doors. I hear laughs of people. These laughs are the laughs of my friends I said to myself. I open the door.
I screamed, and fell to my knee's when I saw the bodies off my best friends and friends laying in the floor. Dead. They were dead, i could see there pale faces as if there life's were sucked right out of them. One of my best friends had blood coming down from his head to his check. I couldn't keep the dears in. I went up to him to see if it was him for sure. As I leaned closer to the body, as I saw the blood stains in this shirt all of a sudden i fell someone behind me. I turned but no one was there. I got up and walked away i had to find a way out of this school. I went to the main office to call the cops. The phones were gone, all i saw was the cables. i ran to the door but the doors were locked I was trapped in. "Welcomed to the game," the girl said. I need a way out. I ran to get a chair from the office to break the windows. I got the chair and threw it with all my strength against the window. All I saw where the broken peaces of glass on the floor. The window was still up, it didn't even have one scratch I couldn't believe this there was glass all over the entrance but the window wasn't broken. "ha ha," I hear the laughs again. I told my self this couldn't be real. I went again to place where my friends where.
When I got there there were no bodies, all there was; was the blood on the floor. This could not be happening. As stood there trying to believe this on the wall the letter formed "there is no way out."I trapped to my knee's crying. "What to you want from me!" I yelled. I went back to the second floor to confront the girl. As i walked in I saw her in the middle of the hallway I yelled again " what do you want from me!" As i got closer smoke started to come out of the library doors. I got to the End of the hall and she was Gone. I looked all around me but no one was there the lockers stared to open and close, my friends were laughing. This couldn't be real there dead I saw the I said to my self, the lights started to flicker again. In the lockers I saw the words "GAME OVER." It couldn't be was this real was this actually happening. What was going to happen next, I ran to the door but I stopped the girl was in front of the doors. I dunked and she was gone i turn everywhere to see where she went she was staring at me from inside of the room. As i walked back I saw how the girl disappeared into the smoke and the laughter started again. the lights went off and on, the doors would open close by them selves the lockers would open and close. I need to get out of here I said. I ran down the stairs but feel, I died.
