"Hansel and Gretel"

Tell this story through any of the characters' eyes (mother, father,hansel,gretel,old woman)

************************

As i heard my step-mother talking to my father about how they should

take my brother gretel and i to the forest and just give us a loaf of bread and just leave us there and not come back for us, that just made me really scared i

started thinking about how i was going to die there of hunger with my brother.

After my father and step-mother went to sleep my brother and i went outside to get white

pebbles for us to put on the floor while we are walking towards the forest with my father

& step-mother. When i heard them talking i heard that my father did not want to leave us in the forest by ourselves and she tried to change what she was saying but he couldn't as

always she never listens to him. As she came and woke us up in the morning she

gave us a loaf of bread and told us to eat it for dinner later on.

When we where all walking i was walking slower and putting the white pebbles on the floor

at the same time for us to return to my father's home later on.

When we got to the forest my father lit a fire with lots of wood for us to just rest there and sleep there he had told us that he was going to go and cut some more wood,

when he really was just going to leave us there.Later in the night we followed the

pebbles and returned home by the morning.We knocked on the door and my step-mother

opened the door, she looked shocked to see us she was not expecting

for us to return home. It was late again and we supposibly went to sleep when

we really didn't, once again my brother and i were hearing what that woman was telling

my father, She told him that for us to not come back again she will take us deeper into the forest, when i tried to go out and get more pebbles i noticed

that she had locked the door, so there was no way for us to get any pebbles.

The next day she woke us up again in the morning, she gave us some more bread but this

time it was less than last time.Once again they both (my father & step-mother)

left us alone in the woods telling us the same thing.This time

there was no way for my brother and i to go back home.We then saw a white

bird it was singing,after the beautiful song was over the bird left

we followed it and it took us to a home that had the ceiling made of bread,and the windows made of sugar. My brother and i started eating thats when a woman opened the

door she offered us food and two wonderful beds. The time passed she gave us some

food to eat,and we then went to sleep.The next morning i noticed that my brother was not there. The woman had told me that my brother was locked in a little stable and that

i shall cook food that will get him fat for her to later eat my brother.Thats when i noticed

that the woman was really an evil witch. After that the witch told me to help her

see if the oven is heated well enough.But she tried to get me into it.

I told her i didn't know how to get in instead she got in & i closed the oven and she burned

to death. After that i went to go get my brother from the small stable.Later we tried

to get home but first we had to cross a river and we had to go on top of a white duck to

cross the river.After walking a little we started seeing my father's home.

I was glad we were back at home, my brother gretel was very excited we knocked

on the door...and my father opened it,he told us that our step-mother was dead.

& we lived happily ever after

"Adam's Diary"

When i first saw her she was very beautiful i had no words to explain it.I don't know why but the first day i was very nervous around her i couldn't be nowhere close to her. Although she does talk very much, and she tought that every animal is a treasure and every one of them is welcome anytime. Everything there is she names it somehow it just comes to her mind and its like she knows everything. I am not as bright as she is but im learning from her. Somethings i like the most about her is that she seems to know many things that i don't.

"FABLE"

As the fox and the lion were talking they saw a bear pass by.They told the bear "you're fat,get on a diet". After that they saw the bear once again in the day and they saw that he was crying,they decided to say sorry & thats when they noticed their mistake.

-Its better to think about the things you'll say before you say them.

"The Outcasts of Poker Flat"

If you had to blame someone or something for the outcast's deaths, who/what would you blame & why?

*Uncle Billy
*Citizens of Poker Flat
*Bad Luck
*Outcasts

If i had to blame someone or something for the outcast's deaths i would blame the citizens of Poker flat because they are the ones that told them to leave because the two girls were prostitutes and the drunk and i think that is not fair because in their own little ways everyone is equal. I think it really does not matter about what you are or what you do in life you are still a human being.

"Dr.Heidegger's Experiment"

As I was talking to my friends i asked them if they believed that a rose that was about 50 years old could ever blossom again and they all say non sense. I showed them the rose and dropped it in the water.All of a sudden what i see was that it blossomed and started to change again. I then asked some of my friends if they wanted to help me with an experiment where all of them would have the chance to be young again and be able to change some of the mistakes that they all made. They all agreed with me and say yes, but i told them that i wasen't going to be a part of it though. When they drank the water they did get younger and i noticed that everytime they looked in the mirror they saw themselves as young,but when i saw them in the mirror they where old as they normally are.After a little while i noticed that they began getting old again and that the water that made them young would only last a while.

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.

If i were given the chance to have an operation in order to make me smarter i would and wouldn't have it done on me for many reasons.I would have the operation because in that way i will atleast have the chance to get to see what being smart is like, and if people treated me different if i got smart.I wouldn't do it because if i knew the operation would make me smarter was going to be temporary, and as the time passes i would lose everything that i once knew and for then for me to die. Also in the story there are some side effects in Algernon and he slowly began to get dumb and forget everything that he once got the chance to know and then algernon died.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Chapters 3-7

After, reading Chapters 3-7, predict three problems you think Benjamin will encounter & give your solutions for each.

I think that one problem that he is going to encounter is getting younger and forgetting everything he ever knew.This problem might be solved by someone taking care of him.

The second problem can be that Benjamin is soon not going to fit in his clothes because he keeps getting smaller. This problem can be solved by buying new clothes.

The third problem is that Benjamin will soon stop liking his wife. This problem can be solved by getting a divorce.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Chapter 2

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

I think that Roger should just accept his son the way he is, the fact that he is different does not mean he does not have feelings,and his son has his blood flowing through his veins so why reject him when beauty is not always on the outside when the true meaning of beauty is on the inside and about what you feel.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Chapter 1

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

What I would've done if I were Roger Button in Chapter 1 is that I would've been really shocked to see my baby being born at seventy years old..thats something that never happens, every baby is a newborn not even a month old.Also i would've just accepted the fact that, thats how the baby was born & that there was nothing that i could do in order to change it.

The Two Sides Of Love

What is love?
Love can be another word for happiness,the feeling of butterflies in your stomatch, but it can also be a way of harming peoples feelings, of saying I LOVE YOU when you don't mean it
Love has two different sides its like the start of a beautiful, sunny day and that day turning into the coldest and darkest day.
People think of love as a dream and a wonderful fairytale that does not have an ending,
but for some others its just a nightmare where you can trust no one but yourself

The Secret

It was my best friend's deepest, darkest secret and it would be a hard one to keep. I didn't know what to do weither to tell someone or to just keep it a secret so i decided to keep it a secret and not tell anyone. I remeber exactly what she told me in school during the afternoon. She wrote me a note telling me that she was pregnant and i told her if the father of the baby knew she told me that he did and i asked her if any of her family members knew she told me that they didn't only her godmother..and i also asked her if she was going to tell them later on.She told me that she was but that she was scared on what they were going to say and i told her not to worry because i was going to be here for her during the times she needed me to try and help her out with any situations or problems she had.Thats what friends are for.

Her Mysterious Death

Her death was due to mysterious circumstances and I was assigned to the case. I had just came back from my days off and they told me that I had a new case to solve in this case it was about a girl whose name was caitlyn nixon she happened to be 18 years old, white, green eyes, about 5’4 tall.She was found dead in a river the river happened to be the mississippi river and there was a near by hotel by there I went to go see if caitlyn was checked in that hotel and I found out she was.Later I decided to ask a person at the main desk if Caitlyn’s family was still in the hotel the person at the main desk in the lobby told me that they were and so I told them to give me the room number and so they did. The room number was 315 when I went inside the room I had introduced myself “Hi my name is katy” they had asked me why was I there for apparently they did not know that their daughter was found dead in the river and I told them that she was found there dead they were preety devastaded and I asked them a few questions about the family, and about her personal life. I did not know yet weither this was a suicide or a homicide.
I asked her mother weither Caitlyn had a boyfriend or any problems at school she told me that she did have a boyfriend but they broke up not to long a go they broke up because she was cheating on him and he found out by one of her friends and she didn’t have problems at school she was one of the girls that loved to study and hang out with her friends. By what she said I already suspected many things. Yet I still did not know if it was a suicide or a homicide. So after this I went to the crime scene and I decided to take Caitlyn to a laboratory for an autopsy to be made. She had a forensic autopsy in that autopsy they try and find out the cause of the death. In the autopsy answers I found out that she had been raped, and after that someone strunggled her. I was shocked, but after knowing this I went back to the hotel and I went back to the family’s room knocked and no one answered the door I saw a housekeeper and asked her that what happened to the family that was here not to long ago she told me that they had left that morning.This seemed preety suspicious. I decided to call my partner Jacky I told her to try and figure out were the NIXON’S family lived.
Later jacky called me back and she told me that they lived in beverly hills..So then I thought to myself why would they be near the mississippi river and not in beverly hills these seemed suspicicous and so I decided to go to beverly hills..i went to their home and i saw the whole family again but this time I saw them with their daughters boyfriend the guy was at her house and I said hello to all of them but then I asked them that why had they left they told me that they had some business to be made and I asked them what kind of business..they all got nervous and did not answer..UNTIL SOMEONE STOOD UP AND SAID OKAY I CAN’T STAND IT ANYMORE...you can’t stand what anymore I asked and he said all these questions…HE SAID I DID IT I KILLED HER it was caitlyn’s BOYFRIEND..!!!!!!!!

Make logandale a better school

I think that many things will make logandale a better school. In my opinion, there are three different ways on how the school can be better. One is that there could be better afterschool activities. Another is that they should have new exploratory classes. Also for the principal to listen to the students opinions and to what they say. Wouldn’t you like to be in school where there is fun afterschool programs or an afterschool sports team.
My first change is there could be better afterschool activities. The afterschool activities could be something fun instead of having a program where you learn.There could be a pom pons or a cheerleading team for the girls and for the guys there could be a sports club. So in that way many more students can join this school. Better afterschool activities would make logandale increase its population of students. Don’t you think?
My second way is that there could be new exploratory classes. For example there could be a music class that would help logandale because there are many students that are interested in learning how to play a musical instrument and that would make the students not transfer to another school. Also there could be a drama club, where students would have the opportunity to learn to act. Potery classes would make the art classes better. Or what other exploratory classes would you like to have?
My third way to make logandale better would be for the principal to listen to the students opinions and to what they say. I think that this would make logandale better because sometimes when the students try telling or explaining something to one person in the school’s staff they won’t listen. When the principal asks us about some ideas that we have for the luncheon or something we tell him a lot of ideas but he dosen’t seem to listen to them. Everytime we say something or give our opinion on something no one seems to listen and when it’s a problem with a teacher they won’t believe the students. What would you do in our place?
In conclusion, I think that many things would make logandale a better school. There could be better afterschool activities,new exploratory classes, and the principal could listen to the students opinions and to what they say. If you wanted to make the school you’re attending to be better, what would you do?

Estefany's life story

I remember the day my daughter Estefany was born it was March 15 around 3:40 in the afternoon.When i was in labor it was a Premature labour i remember the doctor telling me that there were chances for her to either live or die because her lungs weren't that developed,she was very small,she couldn't eat by herself,she had a very hard time trying to survive in the hospital she was born at 6months of pregnancy and she stayed at the hospital for about a month...when it was time to name her i didn't know what to name her thats when her dad came up with the name Estefany......gladly she survived and i got to take her home a month after being in the hospital. I was very happy, the whole family was at our house when we went in the door.The time passed by so fast the next thing i saw was that she had grown up already she is 14 right now,the years go by fast,and thinking that one day or another she is going to move out of the house and have a family of her own makes me want to wish for her to be the little girl that used to play with toys. Time goes by fast and theres nothing that i can do to try and slow it down but im happy for her to go to school and have a better chance of education than i did. I may not know everything that she has been through in her life right now,but i know that when theres something wrong with her i will always be there for her.
