Being Responsible for your actions

         I picked if someone is drunk or high, she or he is not responsible for his or her actions. I do not agree with that. I say they are responsible for there actions. What they do while there drunk or high isn’t an excuse. There the ones who got drunk or high in the first place. If they knew they acted liked that or heard from people how they where they shouldn’t drink that much.
        I mean I’ve seen people who got so drunk they did things that they regret because when they where sober I told them what they did. They couldn’t believe what I was saying. I’m not saying drinking is bad its just you don’t want to over do it. To the point where you cant even walk or your tripping over your own feet. Or not remembering what happened the next day and in a totally different place. But I don’t think that’s going to happen.
       I was in a situation where I was hanging out with a friend, and we decided to hang with other friends at the park. They ended up getting high, and asked me if I wanted to try. Obviously I didn’t, but they where trying to convince me. They were saying nobodies going to find out, it’s really fun, come on just try it. I said no I cant and plus I knew if I did I would do something I regret, and I really don’t want that. Then I would really be mad with myself.
       I hope none of us go through what Melinda has. Or if they did I hope they can talk to someone about it, and not have it bottled up inside forever. If you do then I’m just saying at least try and tell someone, maybe your close friend. At least you can get it out and feel a little bit better that someone knows. Maybe your friend can try to help.
       But it all started when she went to this party with Rachel. Only if Rachel’s brother didn’t take them. That’s what Melinda probably keeps thinking in her head. So if you ever go to a party like this just make sure you know what your doing. No matter what your always responsible for your actions.

Fourth Marking Period

           For this I picked passages. What makes the good is when shes talking about going to the mall on the last day of spring break. Instead of being at her house that would suck. You would want to make the most out of your last day of spring break. The important part of the passages is when She keeps waiting for the fashions to catch up with the store. Instead of buy stuff for the wrong season. Shes smart to save her money.

Third Marking Period

         The response I chose is diction and the phrase I picked says. We are reading the The Scarlet Letter one sentence at a time, tearing it up and chewing on its bones. I don’t get what this is saying or trying to mean. It confuses me and I hate how I cant understand what some things like this means.

First Marking Period

         I’m doing character analysis and the character I picked is Melinda. This Character is and outcast in high school. She keeps to herself and her friend Heather. They both really don’t belong. She just ignores everyone but others ignore her. Others ignore her because or something she did last year and nobody liked it so they don’t talk to her. I guess you can say they just cant forgive and forget because they probably think its going to happen again. Melinda kinda compares to Heather is that they both are outcast and don’t fit in with anyone. She wants her friends to just forgive her for what she did and move on but they keep holding it against her.  

Second Marking Period

           The passage called friends when shes in the bathroom with her ex friend Rachel. Its awkward but she tries to make a conversation, and Rachel hardly says anything. I mean I don't get what happened that was so bad to loose a friend. I hate how Rachel doesn't say anything back but when her friend gets out of the stall she speaks another language about Melinda. This situation reminds me of when I get into fights will my friends and we want nothing to do with each other. This connects to the life I'm living because when your somewhere, and theres a person you don't like, and you really don't say much to them. But when they leave you say to your friend oh my gosh that girl is so annoying.

Not Understanding Parents

  The statement I picked was parents don’t understand the problems teenagers go through. I agree with this statement. Everytime I ask them for advice its like they don't understand me. Or if  I'm feeling down they will ask me whats wrong and I don't really want to tell them but i do. Say if I got into a fight with my friend, and they would say well you shouldn't have done that. It gets me mad because there not on my side.

          Or when I broke up with my boyfriend my mom was wondering why so obviously I told her the reason, because she would have found out sooner or later why I wasn't talking about him. But after I told her she’s like oh well that's a stupid reason to break up with him. But she wasn't around him to see how he acted, and shes not me she doesn't understand. She thinks I did it because my friend told me too and it gets me so mad. If I liked him a lot I would never break up with him in the first place.

   The book I read is called through her eyes. It’s by Jennifer Archer and it’s fiction. This is probably one of the best books I have ever read because I just want to keep reading more and more of it, and I never want to put it down. That’s when I know I'm into a book because I honestly don’t like reading. So I think you should check out this one.
   This book is about a girl named Tansy Piper and she has to move with her mom to Cedar Canyon, Texas. So her mom can write her novel. She has always been the new girl because her and her mom move a lot. While Tansy’s here and walking around her new house she spots a door in the ground. when she goes down to check it out she finds a journal, a watch, and a crystal.
     As Tansy’s reading the journal she finds out it belongs to a kid that once lived in the exact same house as she moved in. His name was Henry and he killed himself by jumping off a bridge that was off by the canyon. She meets a friendly guy when her, her mom, and her grandfather go out to eat. His name’s Tate but when she ends up starting school he wants nothing to do with her, and she has no idea why. But she does meet this really nice girl named Bethyl Ann at her school which makes things a little better for her.
      But one day when she decides to go around town and take a bunch of photographs she sees black and white through the lens. What she sees through her camera is something totally different in real life. She actually starts to think shes going crazy because when she gets the photos develop and everything she thought she took a picture of wasn't there. The pictures weren’t even in black and white they were back to color. Then the most weirdest thing happens... she goes into the picture.
       She was holding one of her pictures and holding the crystal she found in the cellar. The light from the window reflected off of the crystal, and some how the picture grew i guess you could say and went around her. Everything was black and white and the people in the pictures where who she thought she took pictures of. She could have conversations with them. Except the people in the picture call her Isabel and not Tansy so shes a different person but has the same thoughts and feelings and even talks the same as she normally would.
       After going in the pictures a couple times she starts to see things in black and white. She starts to think she belongs in the picture better then her life because she fits in with everyone. She also never talked about this with anyone because she doesn’t want people to think shes crazy. Or have her mom worry about her all the time. That’s about everything I read so far so I cant tell you anything else because I didn’t finish reading the book. This is just what happened in  200 pages.

Listening to my IPOD and Hanging With friends

      What do we really know about value? Well we can say that value is something important to us. It’s always going to be around us or we will always want it there. It’s something that means the most to us. Were always caring about it like if you valued your friends or family, your always going to care about them. If it’s something with a price you could probably change your values a little bit. Do you get what I mean your values could always change.   

     

        It’s a typical day, just like any other. About 2:30 p.m. after school. I’m at my house with nothing to do. So I go upstairs to my bright green fruity colored room, and get my ipod on the table near the bottom of my bed. The orange shiny thin little cold thing I hold with some scratches. Then I fall back on my bed, pick one of my favorite songs. once I pick a song I blare it, and as I hear the beat I close my eyes and escape into the music I'm listening to.  

       I choose this out of anything else I could do because music is my life. It’s like an addiction I need to listen to it and if I don't I go crazy. I also listen to it because if anything happened that day like I got mad at someone or I either get stressed. I could listen to music and it makes me feel a lot better.

  

     I love when I hangout with my friends. We have the best times in the world. When we hang out we’ve been watching horror movies and we would go up in my room. Shut the light off for the spacial affect like when your in the movie theater. But something hysterical happen when we were watching a movie.

     It was Saturday afternoon and my best friend in the whole wide world, Thalia came over and we were watching mirrors 2. It was a little bit more than half way through the movie. The main character was getting choked and she was looking in the mirror while it was happening. The mirror started to crack then she died and the mirror went back to normal. Then Thalia paused it because I told her I didn't get what just had happened. So she told me ''remember in the beginning when the lady told the guy in the old days when you were getting killed while looking in  it your soul would go into the mirror''. So after that she played the movie again.But after she played it we got so into the movie the TV just goes black. We sit there in shock screaming our heads off, just still as poles. So I ran to open the door so I could get some light and, for some odd reason I end up running out of my room without Thalia. So she’s just left there with no idea what to do, so she throws her phone and runs out of my room and follows me.

    But by the time she even got to the steps I was already was down the stairs. Once she finally got down there and once we thought over what happen we couldn't stop laughing. We were laughing so hard that our stomachs were in so much pain.

    

      That’s what I have to say about value. These things are the top two on my value list. You might have a different way of thinking about it and that's fine. Sometimes your values can change to and there’s nothing wrong with that. Values can be something big or something small. It can be something a relative gave you.

The day Shawn went to Elizabeth

      The books I read is how I live now and the seven habits of highly effective teens. The characters that are going to meet is Elizabeth from how I live now and Shawn from the seven habits. Elizabeth was arrogantly from New York City, but her dad sent her to England to live with her cousins that she never met before. Shawn is going to be her friendly neighbored. He's also going to start a friendly conversation with her. 
      So its a bright sunny day in England. Elizabeth is walking back home and this kid Shawn walks up to her and starts a conversation.
Shawn, "hey hows it going?"
Elizabeth, "do I know you?"
Shawn, "oh sorry I should have introduced myself." "I'm Shawn your neighbored from across the street. I saw you walking and figured I could come and say hi"
Elizabeth, "oh well in that case good and I've been here for a while and you didn't say anything to me before?"
Shawn, "that's when you have been here for a while I figured I would talk to you."
Elizabeth, "oh anyway how are you doing?"
Shawn, good... if you don't mind me asking but wheres your family.... I mean like your parents?"
Elizabeth, "well my mom died when I was born and my dad just decided to send me here with my cousins."
Shawn, "I'm so sorry about what happened to your mom."
Elizabeth, "It's fine."
Shawn, " so how long have you been here so far?"
Elizabeth,"I would say about a month so far.
Shawn, "So then are you going back with your dad?"
Elizabeth, "Never that's why he sent me here, so I wont have to bug him anymore. Don't you get it why else would he send me here?"
Shawn, "I don't know to finally meet your cousins?"
Elizabeth, "I'm fourteen years old I think I would have met them a lot sooner then a month ago.
Shawn, "I don't get why he would want to send you away though?"
Elizabeth, "neither do I, I didn't do anything to make him do this"
Shawn, "So he's never coming back for you, your positive about that?"
Elizabeth, "Yes anyways how about you tell me something about yourself."
Shawn, "Okay well I'm a farmer I help my dad in the back of my house, I also help people with problems."
Elizabeth, "Oh that's interesting I know who to come to now if I ever have a problem."
Shawn, "Anytime ill be glade to help work things out."
Elizabeth, "So when did you really notice me"
Shawn,"I noticed you a couple times coming out of the house and you didn't look familiar, so that's when I figured I would come and talk to you sometime."
Elizabeth, "I think we should hang out sometime, all of us you, my cousins, and me."
Shawn, "I think that's a great idea, I never really got to know your cousins. I mean I've talked to them before a couple times but that's about it."
Elizabeth, "Well i have to get back I'll talk to you again soon."
Shawn, "Okay bye"
Elizabeth, "Bye Shawn!"
