Halloween Memory


One of Yajaira's most Halloween memories for the fall was stating high school football for the first time. It was hard at first. Yajaira had to practice during the summer. Yajaira went to hell week every morning before school and after school for seven days straight. Yajaira did not quit and went to every practice. Yajaira saw many guys quit and not show for practice. Yajaira got to get her jersey number and her brand new klets. Yajaira started to love and enjoy football. She was able to play all games until she found out that she had to get knee surgery. Yajaira was upset and every time she went to a game she wanted to play and not just help the coaches. Yajaira got used to playing in the games and not sitting out as a injured player. Yajaira is planning to play next season and the season after that until she graduates. Yajaira wants to play full season until she gets injured really bad. She wants to play the sport in college as well. Yajaira said that playing football was fun and more people should try. She also liked to play guys face to face.

Happy Halloween

"The Highwayman" and "Typhoid Fever" Comparison


The story "The Highwayman" was about how a man is madly in love with the landlord's daughter. He risked himself and told her that he will come back for thee by moonlight. When he left her there were men who tied her up and said to watch guard for the Highwayman. It hit moonlight and the highwayman was coming. She got her hands loose and held the trigger to warn him. She shot herself and saw her love ride away in the moonlight. Then the highway man came riding towards her in fierce and he got shot because he was trying to save his love. In the story "Typhoid Fever" there was two kids named Francis and Patricia who are roommates in the Fever Hospital. Francis liked Patricia a lot. They talked and and she read a story about the Highwayman. They talked to much and they were warned to stop or they were going to separate. They didn't and Francis was moved him upstairs. He was all alone and was missing her and how he missed her telling the story. He wanted to know what happened about the highwayman. He said that he would love to ride in the moonlight and go see Patricia and would not give a hoot who saw him. He would risk himself to see her.Then Patricia died before she can finish telling him the story. The Highwayman story was about a love relationship, and the Typhoid Fever is about a friendship relationship.

"Typhoid Fever– Present Tense Childhood Memory”


When I was six years old I remember my first Christmas. My first Christmas was huge. I remember the big tree and buying all the decorations. It was a cold Christmas morning and I woke up and remembered that it was Christmas and I went straight to the living room. I went to wake up my foster parents and my brothers and sisters. We went to the tree and looked at it amazing. I saw that all the presents were stacked on top of each other all the way to the ceiling. In the back I saw a big present and thought it would have been for my sister, but it was for me. It was a big porcelain doll that was from England. My foster parent had it shipped for me. I was so amazed and was over protective of it. I loved it so much and did not let any one touch it or be near it. It was one of my most precious gifts ever.

The Cold Equation


In the story "The Cold Equation" the main conflict wit it was that if there was any intruders on the stardust that they would get jettisoned. The guy found a girl on the ship. She was a teenage girl that was half his height. He put his gun down and called his commander and told him it was an emergency. He told the commander that it was not a man it was a girl that wanted to see her brother. The commander still said that she still had to die. She was afraid and said okay. She wrote a letter to her mother father and brother. Then was shot out onto space. If it was Marilyn's point of view she would probably save the person and find more ways to save the person. She would also find people to come and take the person from the ship. It can effect the story by wasting time and a much more difficult task for her.

"The Storyteller" From Another Point of View

Oh, man these children are so annoying. Do they ever be quiet or sit still? Wonder what the aunt is doing now. Telling a story, hmm. Hope that it is good because then all the kids will settle down. This story is going to be interesting. This story is boring. These children can't even stay seated or quiet. I think that I can do better at telling a story. These kids don't want to listen to your story; it is not fun or exciting. I am going to tell the story. I have experience in telling good stories unlike the one you had said.

Chilean Miners Rescue

What I think about what happened with the miners was tragic. One thing that happened was the mine clasped and the people were stuck there for two months. Wow, that is a long time for someone to be under ground. The other one was that they made this thing that can pick one person at a time which would take about 34 hours to rescue all miners. The other one was when one guy came out, but barely even to mine was telling the news that he does not want to mine again. Also, most likely he was diagnosed with Post Dramatic Stress. If I were to be one of those miners stuck in a mine for two months I would be freaked out.

Autobiographical Narrative Reflection

When I was writing my essay I had to put myself into the past. The time and place in which it occurred. My essay is about the time I kicked a six grader in the private part. The reason why I did was because he thought that bulling was the right thing to do. I was so mad when he started to make fun of my brother and no one did anything about it. So I went up to him kicked him the private part and started to hit and punch him. I was pulled off him by the teachers and was sent to the principals office. He was sent to the nurses office crying and complaining. I was almost suspended unless I apologized to the boy. So, I did and was walked back to class and everyone was looking at me in the classroom. I just ignored them and started on my classroom.

Autobiographical Narrative

My Weekened

On Friday I had a football game against Calvin Christian. We were on the lead until we had a injured player who went to the E.R. After that everything went down hill and we lost. On Saturday I went to the Animal for Little Kids 25th Anniversary. It was fun, every one was having a blast. I even got to meet knew people. The food was good; they even had veggie foods. It was till 1:00pm to 9:00pm. When I got home I was exhausted, I was ready to go to sleep. Before I had the chance I got a phone from the office asking whether I would like to go to the Chargers game. I said yes, and was excited to be going in the morning. I was finally Sunday and I was going to the Chargers game. I got there, and we had good seats. We ate lunch and watched the game. We won 10 to 41. HURRAY! I came home and was tired and took a nap.
