The Diary Of Anne Frank Act I.& II.

p.832

1. The families must obey strict riles to avoid discovery. Which rule would be the hardest for you to follow?Why?
The hardest rule for me to follow would be to be quiet for most of the day. This would be the hardest rule for me to follow because i like to talk and express how i feel, so i would be so anxious to get that all out of me.

2.a) In scene I., what objects dose Mr.Frank find in the secret rooms?
In scene I. Mr. Frank finds a Multi-colored scarf hanging from a nail, and a women's white glove on the floor.



b) How are the objects connected with the rest of the act?
They are connected because these things remind him about the two years that him, and all the other people spent hiding. This is what starts the act.


3.a) What special meanings dose Hanukkah have for the families?
The special meaning of Hanukkah to the families is that this is a time to be with the family and rejoice. Hanukkah is just like a Christmas so this is a happy time to celebrate and be thankful for what you have.

b) What do Anne's presents show about her?I would have to say that her presents show what kind of person she really is a well sirited person with so much hope, even though they are going through this hard time in hiding she still manages to get gifts for them, and still be able to celebrate Hanukkah with her family and other people.


c) Why do the others react with enthusiasm to her presents?

They react like this because they are stuck in this tiny place, they cant get out but Anne makes these things for them and brings back the Hanukkah spirit when they are all ready to give up.


4.a) With a pratner, discuss Mr.Frank's statement "There are... no locks that anyone can put on your mind." How dose Anne prove that this is true?

Anne proves that this is true because their is no person that can stop you from learing or take away what you already know. even though she is in hiding for two years she is still learning and suff. Just because she has been stuck in hiding the Nazis have not taken away any of her knowledge or kept her from learning even more!



5.a) What is the historical cause that causes the Franks to go into hiding?

The historical cause is the Holocaust when Nazi were looking for Jews to kill them.

b) What effects dose this situation have on their daily lives?

This really effects their lives because they are locked up with the same people for such a long period of time. They cannot go outside, have to be quite for most of the day, eat little portions of food. This was just a total life changing experience for them, and it really changed their daily lives as people.


6.a) What effects do the Nazis intend the wearing of the stars to have in the Jews?
The Nazi think that these stars is like a way to be stereotyped to let people know that they are Jewish. So the Nazi think this is going to change everything because they wear the star of David, but really it dose not mean anything it just shows what those people are but it did affect many things in their lives by having to wear the star.



b) What background information about the war and the Nazis treatment of the Jews helps you to link this cause with its intended effects.

Everything that you hear about this war is so gruesome because of all the lost lives, families,men,women,and children its so sad. You could link this because the Nazis wanted to destroy the Jews and wipe them out, and the backgrougd info helps you know what they wanted the effect to be.


7. Complete and organizer like this one shown with examples of dialogue that achieve each purpose.

Reveals Character and Relationships: ANNE-(paying no attention)"Everything she does is right, and everything I do is wrong!I'm the goat around here!...You're all against me!...And you worst of all!"

Dialogue---> Advances the action of the plot: Dussle We have to pick up the phone!!!


Develops the conflict:Mr.Kraler A man named Carl about fifty asked me questions about your Mr. Frank and he wants 20 more guilders a week.



8. After Mr. Kraler asks Jan Dussel can join the Franks and the Van Danns in hiding, what dose the dialogue among the characters reveal about their personalities.


Well, for the all of them are more opened armed about these things they are willing to receive another one of their own people rather than leave him out their in danger. They are all nice and well-mannered people but at times they can get a little jumpy and mad but they all had good personalities about these things.

P.870


1. What do you like best about Anne Frank? How would you like having her as a friend?

The thing that i like and stands out about her is her personality. I like her because she has spunk and she dose not like to take anything from anybody, she dose what she has to do, and that is something i find so cool. I would like to have her as a friend and i would enjoy it because of the type of person she is nice at times but can also be mean when she needs too.



2.a) What disturbing news dose Mr.Kraler bring on New Year's Day?


The disturbing news that Mr. Kraler brings on New Year's Day is that a man named Carl was asking a whole bunch of Questions about Mr. Frank, and then he told Mr. Kraler that he wanted a twenty guilders more a week.



b) What hint dose this give about the ending of the play?


This gives me a hint that all of the people in hiding are going to be discovered by the SS Gaurds, and shipped to consetration camps. Just because of how Mr. Kraler explained everything happening wiht the man.



3.a) What is the time span of Act II.?


The time span that that Act II. is moving in is kind of by the two years that they spent in hiding, and explaing how they kind of became leding up to them getting discovered.



b) How have the characters changed since the end of act I.?
The characters have changed since Act I. because they have all become a lot closer.


c) How do you know that Anne has changed?
I know that Anne has changed because of the way that she acts toward things through the two years she changes a lot because she becomes a little more mature and deals with things in a more adult way. Anne seems to be years ahead of her age.


4.a) How can Anne believe that "..... in spite of everything... people are good at heart?"

I think that Anne can believe this because the way that people act on the outside is one way, but every one is still human inside not matter what and no one can can he that and that is something she believes in. People will always be good in their heart.


b) What dose Mr.Frank mean by "she puts me to shame"?

By Mr. Frank saying "she puts me to shame" he means that Anne being younger she has more faith and beliefs that people are still good at heart even though they have gone through all of this, and he dose not have as much faith as her him being an older person.


5. For each one identify one cause and one effect:

a)Mr. Van Dann's decision to steal food.

The cause for this would be that he feels he is not getting enough food, and he dose not want to starve to death so he decides to steal food, and not be hungry. The effect is all the people finding out about him stealing the food and some are really mad, Mrs. Frank even wants to kick out the Van Danns.



b) Mrs. Frank's change of heart about wanting the Van Dann's to leave.
The cause for this would be the Van Dann's besides Peter are very ruse and disrespectful to everyone else there because Mr. Van Dann decides to steal the food and take it from the mouths of the young ones, and Mrs. Van Dann choose him over the children this is not nice at all it is something so stupid that they could do. The effect is that the Van Danns Might get kicked out of the hiding place.



6. What are some possible causes of Mrs. Van Dann's attitude toward Anne and Peter's relationship?

Some possible cause for Mrs. Van Dann's attitude toward Anne and Peter's relationship is that Peter and Anne might have a secret relationship, and Mrs. Van Dann dose not seem to get along with Anne that much especially because of what happened to her fur coat, so Mrs. Van Dann might not want this to be.



7. Living in close quarters has multiple effects on the residents of the "Secret Annex." List three effects that result from this single cause.

One effect is that Anne and Peter fall in love while in hiding. Second effect they all get to live an not be in concentration camps. The last effect would be that all of the families get to spend so much time with each other.



8.a) On a chart like the one show, identify the possible motivation behind the actions listed.

Character
Meip

Brings flowers and cake to the attic rooms.

Motivation

She is a nice person and feels she really wants to help them, so she brings them a treat.

Mr. Van Dann

Character

Action

9. What possible motivations might an informer have for telling the authorities about the families in hiding?


The possible motivations that an informer might have for telling the authorities about the families in hiding would be that they have done something wrong and they are looking for the authorities to pardon them for the turning in of families in hiding. They might have also gotten a reward of some sort.

Hansel and Gretel......

My name would be Hansel and i want to share with you the tale of a selfish women......


It was once my father, my sister Gretel, and my birth mother those were the good times, but my true mother past away and father wanted someone else, but what he found could not possibly be human. Our new stepmother was a selfish old woman who enjoyed the pain and suffering of children, our family was of low income and we could barely afford to buy bread, we would have to use the same clothes for years things were not so good that is why we live in the middle of nowhere it is just easier on all of us. The supply of money was not that good at one time so stepmother wanted to talk to father, so she tucked us in early to do so but i did not care for what she told me she was nothing to me and my sister. So that night i had eavesdropped on their conversation, i over heard her trying to sweet talk my father into leaving us in the forest so that they too could live in peace and have more food for themselves, but sweet old father did not want to he has a big heart especially for his children he would never want to hurt Gretel or myself. That evil old hag had convinced him and made everything seem ok... so those were mine and Gretel's fate for the morning, but i had left out of the door to go get some of the shiny pebbles that shined really bright in the moon's light i took as many as i could so that Gretel and I could find our way back home!


Morning came and so did our step mother did too, she gave me and Gretel a piece of bread each and told us we were venturing into the woods today. So we left and i had been leaving pepples on the path we took, father saw me and asked what i had been doing and i said i was staring back at my cat. My step mother was furious and said that i was ignorant, was the sunlight shining on the chimney. Then we got far away from the house and they said we will be back when we finish cutting enough fire wood for the house you sleep a little until we come back, they started a fire and then left. We both feel asleep, and when we awoke it was night already ad theynever came back for us, Gretel started crying i told her to hush when the moon came up i would take her home. As soon as the mon came out and the light was shinging i could see the pebbles and find our way home. When stepmother opened the door she seemed shocked let us in she tried to seem happy about it but i knew that she wasnt.


Then once again our family went broke and we were running out of food so i overheard my stepmother telling my father to abandon us in the forest again and safe themselves. I tried to go outside that night to collect pebbles again but my stepmother locked the door so i just feel asleep with Gretel that night. She awoke us that morning and took us, i did the same thing the only difference was that i use bread to leave a path since i did not have the pebbles. The fire was lit and they left again i tried to think but feel asleep and when we woke it was already night, i tried to hush Gretel i told her we would find our way once the moonlight came but a bunch of birds had eaten all of the crumbs i left behind so we were now lost.

We walked all night but we could not find our way back home but we could not but we had stumbled on a road and we found a house but it was no ordinary house this house was made of bread, and had windows made out of sugar now me and Gretel surely would not die of hunger.
We had been really startled that we stopped eating when the old woman who owned the house came out, but she was a nice old women she wanted to help us, she took us inside and gave us food and a place to sleep for the night what a wonderful woman. The next morning me and Gretel were awoken by the old woman shaking us it had turned out that she was a wicked witch, she put me in an iron cage alone and made Gretel make me delicious food so that i could get fat. By the time it had been about a month i was not fat i was still skinny but she was hungry so she did not care she told Gretel to boil the water, and heat up the oven she tired to get Gretel to but Gretel pushed her in and died and we went home with some jewels we found at the witchs house and lived happily ever after with our stepmother dead.......

The End!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yea our stepmother was the witch thought you guys would like to know that.....

"Adam's Diary"

Saturday: It has been kind of boring and sad ever since Lilith disappeared. The island has been all to myself and i have just been trying to forget about the old times that me and Lilith shared. I wanted to spend my days alone by the beach, and just trying to relax and be myself.


The same day that i was trying to relax, a women came and she seemed fascinated by me. I felt kind of alive again i could not believe that their was another girl standing in front of me

i tried not to talk because i wanted to seem mysterious to her. She had told me that all of the things in her past day were so exciting because she had a big mind and knew what everything was called. She had began to annoy me because she would not shut up at all.
The only way i got away was to climb in the tree and rest throughout the night and day of Saturday and Sunday.

Sunday: On Sunday morning i slept in until the afternoon. When i awoke i expected the women to be gone but she wasn't she had still been their waiting, she tried to chase me back up the tree, she had tried saying something to me and i spoke at her with intensity and she seemed to be freaked out because she looked as if she thought i could not talk. I had made the biggest mistake because she kept talk and did not want to shut up which would be very helpful.

Next Sunday: For the rest of the entire week she had followed me around fascinated by my appearance. She had told me that her name was Eve it reminded me about the world for some reason, maybe that was why she way created.


Wednesday: Me and this so called Eve were starting to get along now. I was so surprised when i looked at her good because she had the true beauty of Lilith and i was so amazed and annoyed by her. Eve and me were kind of reading each others minds because i did not want to talk i wanted to think about the wonderful life i had, and i could have with Eve.


Thursday: This time i had really done it Eve was acting out of her own kindness and i treated her bad i yelled at her with my loud and mean mouth she began to cry and she did not want
to talk to me anymore because she could not picture my kindness.

Sunday: This day she was happy again and she wanted to try and please me in any way that she possibly could but this made me in
a angry way because when a woman wants to please a man she will
go to the ends of the earth to try and do so. She tried to pick me some apples and i had to tell her not to touch them because they would bring nothing but harm.

Monday-Friday: Throughout the rest of the week i watched Eve do things i saw that she was fascinated by new things and was starting n to care if only she could make me happy she would do these crazy things and that was what she did. I just saw her as she take an apple from the forbidden tree everything from then on changed. She began to find things differently she discovered what it seemed to be fire and touched it, her ignorance annoyed me even more and i could not believe that she did that. At the last point she had grown a very big fear of the fire, and she did not want to touch it and no one could feel as she did, for i only knew because i had seen it happen once before.

The End.....

"The Outcasts Of Poker Flat...."

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

I would have to blame the citizens of Poker Flat. In my opinion i feel this way because it was a kind of stupid reason to through someone out of you community because they are a prostitute, drunk, or gambler at least if you want to teach them a lesson make a law saying you can not do these things or something. All of these people were not all that bad they made mistakes, but that dose not matter they are only human too we have to respect that. If Poker Flat really did care about all of the people they would not kick them out but try to help them become better people for the community. Poker Flat seems like the type of community that has a lot of problems and now after such a long time they want to make it a better place to live in, but every community has problems, screw up and stuff. The point that i am trying to make is that if the people would have been able to stay in the community of Poker Flat they would not have see Tom and Piney, they would have never died, and they would all still be alive and well back in Poker Flat.

Kate Chopin

Desiree's Baby: I enjoyed this story because it has many interesting things to read about it includes things about slavery and stuff which is good to look up on. In this story it focuses so much on the color of someones skin which really dose not matter, but back then they seemed to care about it so much. I enjoyed it because Arman has a family but he treats them like crap and even wants them to leave his home, then he tries to burn everything that they touched. The cool thing was that at the end of the story after him accusing so much he got what he deserved by finding out he was the one out of the two that was black not Desiree and that is why their baby looked the way that he did, i like this story because it takes you through twist and turns and leaves you speechless.

The Story Of An Hour: This was also an amazing story because it is so well thought out and planned ahead. You get into this women's life where she is so unhappy and miserable and she finds out that her husband has passed on, and you would expect her to be sad and crying but this story takes the turn for something a little crazy but cool. She is happy that her husband is dead and it is kind of freaky, but we understand that he held her back so she now wants to plan out he rest of her long life alone. This story is something else very mysterious because at the end she dies because she sees that he was never dead all the doctors tell him it was from the joy of seeing him, i like how you think one thing is going to happen when really Kate has this all planned out to leave you stumped.

The Blind Man: This was good because it focuses on Ablism. I like this story because this man that is blind but not only that but not smart too is never taken care of or helped by anyone, throughout the entire story he lives not knowing anything really and he stands out side of a wealthy mans house, but because the wealthy man wants nothing to do with a poor man he gives the blind man a box of pencils to go sell. The blind man tries hard to sell but he dosen't sell anything most of the people feel bad for him but don't do anything because they don't really want to do anything with someone thjat has a disability and is at a different class level. At the end the man gets across the street without haveing eye sight, when the wealthy man hets hit by the car so things get nixed up at the end of the story.

Dr.Heidegger's Experiment

As i prepared all four of these friends the sparkling water that would bring back there young age i told hem to think about about what they would do with a second chance but they seemed so eager to drink it that i thought this was going to be fun to watch. As they put there wrinkly old lips on to the cups they began to change as soon as the water had gone down their throats in less than minutes their wrinkles were lifted,their cheeks turned rosy red and they looked younger.

All i could do was wait to see what they wanted to do next, knowing how these people were all they would want to do is use their 2nd chance to relive their old days. The one to come up to me was Widow Wycherly she asked me for some more water and begged me for more, i explain that i took care of it all and poured the four cups to the exact amount for them all ready and she was so excited. Once again they aged backwards cheeks even brighter and all of them looking stuning. All of this stated by my rose that had been brought back to life and now so have they. Yet again they asked for more i gave it to them and now thye looked as if they were in their 20 years but wearing the most repalsive clothes for the aged hey looked.
Now they were all hyped up and they were starting their lives the same way they did the first time,Widoe Wycherly never changed trying to make fun of me because of my age by trying to ak me to dance, i told her to dance with the other fine gentlemen in the room. They all wanted to be in Widow Wycherly's pants andshe wanted all three of them as well she was still the same old woman she had always been before and she or any of the other people would never change. They had been dancing with her and arguing and tyhen they had bummbed into the table where my rose was with the vase, and knock it to the floor to be broken then the flower stared to die and srivil up, then so did they by turing into old people again. I had conducted my experiment and that was all i needed , they were furious and where going in search of the fountain itself.
The End!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Desiree's Baby, The Sequel.....

Armand Aubigny had stayed in shock after reading the note, He tried to keep his grip on it but the swift and powerful wind took the note from his hands. That same night Armand Aubigny had gone to find Desiree and wanted talk to her about what he called his repulsive origin, Armand got to Desiree's mothers house and went straight into the room with her.

"Hello my wonderful wife that I love so much"

" What is going on i am of nothing to you you mistreated me and tried calling me of that race that had nothing wrong with them "But why" "why" are you here trying to call me as if I were still yours?"

"I realized that i really do love you for who you are and not for the race that you belong to, i want you to come back home to live with me you and the baby."

" No that is not what i am asking you, why are you trying to apologise what had come over you all of a sudden?"
" It is hard to explain!"

" Well when you are ready to talk to me about what is going on you and come back and talk unless you are ready now?"

"Fine, i made a mistake baby i was burning all of the things that you and the baby had touched
and i found a note a really disturbing one!"

Tears began to roll down Armand's face when he began to explain to Desiree.

" Ok the letter was from my mother to my father it stated that it would be a shame that my son would never know that he belongs to the race cursed with slavery!"

"Oh my lord i am so sorry baby i still love you and will be willing to move back in with you i don't care for what race you come from because love has no color or boundaries!"

"Thank you my love you, also can this be our little secret?"
"Yes"

A couple of moths later Desiree had found out that she was pregnant with yet another child from her long time love Armand Aubigny.....
The End!!!!!!!

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 had a choice to have that operation, I would not be willing to do the operation especially of my own knowing of it only being temporary. My first reason is that why take an operation that is going to make me super smart I would not be normal because in reality no one is that smart be can become intelligent but by learning and taking time to get all of that knowledge. Why would i want to be smart and feel all of that knowledge going through my brain and absorbing all of it if i know that one day it is all going to be gone.
Second, What would it be worth for me getting some smart people to open up my head do some kind of operation to fix me up in their, but if it will only last a while then what would be the point of going through all of that trouble by the time i would learn all of the things that i need to learn my days of being intelligent would be numbered. Those are my two resons why i would not take the operation!

The Curious Case If Benjamin Button, Chapters 8-The End

Family- In the story of Benjamin Button the way they describe family is a total different way than we think of the meaning Family. In the way we learn about what the word Family means we learn that it is a group of people that stick together and have unconditional love for each other but in the story that is not what the word Family even means at all. In the story Benjamin's father is so wrong he is so worried because his son is not young, and dose not appear attractive because he is an old man so they feel that they can't love him. His Father is not like most he would be kind of ashamed of Benjamin because he care so much about what other people think about him and he should not care, so by him taking it to an extreme level he doesn't consider Benjamin his son, He doesn't show him the love of a father which is wrong. Also Benjamin is such a nice person he tries to please his father by doing everything that his father tells him, Benjamin was just born as this type of person and he loves his father and he wants for his father to love him the way that he loves his father and that is why he tries so hard.

Age- This story takes a big twist because of how Benjamin ages he is born an old man but he seems to go through the aging process but backwards. Age is like the most important thing in this story because that is what his father Roger mostly focuses on when he meets Benjamin for the first time he is so shocked and dose not want to admit that Benjamin is really his son, so Roger is in denial by everything that had happened in the time that he meet Benjamin.It is kind of funny because it take so long for him to learn to love his son and it dose not happen until his son is aging, with most people they love their kids not matter what even if they are not the same be cause everyday that someone is born they are different no one id the same.

Beauty- This is a big part too because they consider people to be beautyful in the book and these are the people who have alot of attention they tend to be what they call normal, but since Benjamin has this sickness he dose not have beuty really what old person with out surgery dose so this plays an important part in the story because their really is no one who wants to be around old people especially when they are suppose to be a new born baby that is something that is just unnatural.

The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, Chapters 3-7

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

The first problem i think that Benjamin is going to face is his wife and kids because Benjamin is not like a normal person he is different but it is ok, but anyways he is not gettin any older but younger while his family gets older so this make him not really want a family and he might become irratated because he would want to be out exploring and doing cool things but he will have to be stuck with his family which is not what a oung person really wants to do. Bejamin has been living in a mixed up world since he was born not having the love of his father or other and not really geting to do anything or be himself so now that he is getting older he would probably in his parents love over get to go and explore new things and basically live life without any of his old worries.
Second, i would have to say that while Benjamin is in the army he wont really get to be in touch with his fmily that much anymore and wjho knows what could happen whle he is gone, his wife could get a sicknss and she could die leaving their son alone without any of his parents. Also his mother or father could pass away at any time wile he is away because they or that age already and if something like this would happen he would probably be shattered and depressed for sometime in his life, I think that this might because if the fact that his parents are old and it might be their time to go and then what would Bejamin do?

Last, WHile Benjamin is away at war in Cuba his son will only be raised by his mother and as we all know mothers can do many things but they can't really repremand theirs sons if they are not strong at heart, and i think that Benjamins son will start to get into problems with other kids and not really care anymore because he would think everything is his way. Wiht his son getting in to so much trouble that he could get into it with someone and possibly lose his life. I think that these things might actually happen because sometimes bad things happen to good people!

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 go out there and basically mind his own business just because people know who you are and ask you question dose not mean that you have to answer them, and that is a something I think Roger has to do if he wants to pass up his personal embarrassment about his son being this 70 year old man. For me I would say he should accept it and if people ask tell them the truth but if that is the way he feels in the story I think he should just act as if he dose not hear anyone asking him who the old man is. If Roger is so worried about that then he could just tell people that the old man is his father to find another way to share a kind of family bond and not totally disown him as a son.

The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, Chapter 1

What would you have done if you were Roger Button in
Chapter 1?
Well if i had been Roger Button in chapter 1 I would have probably been freaked out and yelled out horrid scream and told the nurse that he was not my son and that they made a really bad mistake. After a while though of me cooping with the fact that this had happened and that he was really my son, I eventually would have to face that fact that it actually was reality and not some ridiculous joke.In my own train of though i believe that i would take him into my home and raise him as my son because no matter what he is always going to be mine, my blood and everything and family dose not back down on each other. I think i would have done things differently than Roger because its not right for you not to love someone just because of the way they look especially you knowing that you created them it is more of your fault for being noisy and having the kid so why not show them the love no matter what, that is the way i feel and how i would act toward this strange and mysterious case!

Love is a curse...

You see that one person that makes you smile.
You feel something churning in your stomach.
You think about them everyday.
Want them in your life, no matter what
Now is it love, or an obsession?
Your eyes light up, your heart is on fire,
You feel the temperature rising
You kiss, you feel, touch and love
Then you realize
Love is a maze
And you have to find you'r way through
You may stumble down the wrong path
Might keep falling down and not want to get up
But that is what love is, finding you
And someone to support you
Love is what helps you find that person
Everything that happens is for a reason
Love is something good and bad
Love is something that needs patients
But also causes pain
Love just slowly drives you insane!

A picture is worth a thousand words!!!!!


The times were hard my mother had to rough it out in the fields of our farms because ma' Papa had left us for another women who had some money. My name is Joe, ma Mama's name is Nicole she was a heck f a Ma she had to take care of me and ma other brothers and sister Jack, Joseph, and Shalna, plus her own mother Lucy. Mama gets up at 6:00 a.m to work out in the fields managing the crops, making business selling them, managing the horse and other animals on our small farm. I often try to help her but i have to stay in and help Maw ma take care of ma siblings, Maw ma would love to sit on the window Sile and watch Mama work while she knitted. Now, it was early February,and I would be counting the days inside the house that is until ma favorite Uncle Rem would come to stay with us. Uncle Rem was living out in the city he was an architect with all of them sky scrappers being built he figured it would be worth his wild to go and look for work building too, he was always the most adventurous out of all his siblings!

February was a good month for Mama's business she had been able to sell so many crops I'm guessing this was in high demand. Mama also got to Cook up some of the pigs and sell them to the locals for party's and stuff, and she made so much money that we could finally afford the Luxury Windows that we always wanted. Mama and I were getting ready to go to buy the windows "Hello"

"Yes Ma'am"

"I would like to purchase your finest luxury windows please em' "

"OK, We have some choices we have cherry wood, Pine wood, or our most expensive Golden wood"

"I wanna' take, the cherry wood, Cherry is a family favorite!"

"OK take ya' Ma'am that would be $50"

"Here you go, OK have a nice day ya' hear, and take care' "

"Alright then thank ya', you take care you hear" "



"Come on Joe we have to hurry home"
"Alright mama I'm right hear' "


The next day mama woke up at 5:00 a.m to go and install the luxury window, they looked so nice.

Now it was the first day of spring only 2 more days until Uncle Rem would get to our house, i was so excited. My mom was working extra hard for the next 2 days to get enough money so that she could buy all the food that she wanted. Mom had managed to sell a lot of crops around this time and she had gained $100 now we could get everything we wanted. Ma mama had gone to the market and bought meat loaf, cheese, tea, lemonade, and the ingredients to make a really good cherry pie yum i could already taste that delicious food. Mama started cooking as soon as she walked in through the door and all of the food smelled good! It was the first day of spring and it was sunny and hot outside we had our dog inside so that he too could greet Uncle Rem when he got home. The food was read and just minutes before Uncle Rem had walked in through the door we all yelled his name in excitement, we all ate our food but i was kind of slow but hungry, but Uncle Rem went around the house to look at our scenery and he was really impressed by our luxury windows and how we had all of our figures organized. My little brother Jack was just looking dumb as always waiting for Maw ma to cut him some bread, Mama was feeding our beautiful white horse Lucinda, Shalna was just complaining about the food as always, and Joseph was quiet in his crib as always, but i was happy to finally have our family put back together after all of this time!!!!!!!!!!THE END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Secret

It was my best friends's deepest darkest secret and it would be a hard one to keep. My best friends name was Aiden he had always told me everything about his life or anything that he needed advice on, and now he wasw planning on telling me this I tried to imagine what it would be and try to plan a reaction. I couldn't think of anything that he would tell me that was that bad because He wasn't a bad person he always did good things. Now I was at school and I herd Aiden was there too and i was looking for him but her didn't turn up, i felt as if he was avoiding me because he wanted to keep the secret to himself but that was his business i was not going to force him if he was not ready to tell me. So then later that day i ended up bumping into him in the hall and before i could even ask him what was wrong he ran away. Now i had felt as if i had to help him or make him tell me because i knew something good was not going up, the only thing that i could think of was him wanting to run away.

Now, a couple of days have passed and Aiden did not turn up at school, I was becoming worried because that was my best friend and if something had happened to him i would kill my self. I have known Aiden for about 10 years we just started talking again but we still tell each other everything or give each other advice on things that we can't make decisions on by ourselves, but anyways if he did not turn up in the next couple of days then i knew something was up. For the next couple of weeks their were no shows from him until the first of March the day the FCAT began. After the test i told him that we needed to talk and i asked him what had been up, and he told me he was not going to lie, but honestly i wish he would have lied.
"OK Ernie there has been somethings happening at my house with my Mom and Step-Dad."
Like What!
"Well they have not been getting along and he hits her."
Are you dead serious why didn't you tell me earlier have
you told anyone because you have to.
" No, i wasn't even suppose to tell you, he said if i said anything
that my Mom was going to pay the price."
Dose he beat her really bad.
"Yes, thats why I've been gone because he threw her down the stairs and she broke her left arm, and has really bad bruses."
You have to contact someone and let them know what is going on.
"NO, and you have to promise me that you won't tell a soul."
I prosmise.
"OK thanks atleast i can trust someone."
Alright then I'lll talk to you later.

Later that night, I got home and thought if i should tell or not. I had made my decision his mom was too much of a nice person to be treated like garbage. The next day at school i told the school counserler and she said she was going to handle the whole case, Aiden on the other hand said thank you to me i was shocked he said i did what any great best friend would do. This was something that brought us closer than ever we are inseprable now, and as for his Step-Dad, i hope he'll like doing 3-4 years in jail.

Her Mysterious Death

Her death was due to mysterious circumstances and I was assigned the case. I was detective Joe Hansen I was one of the best on the force and I knew this was going to be a good one I could feel that it was going to take me go through some twist to find out who would commit such a crime. In her own home, 21 year old Jenna Thompson’s mutilated body had been found, She was young beautiful but her life had been taken by someone that must of envied everything she had, but one question would be why would they murder her on her 21 birthday why not 18 or something they must have been planning this out for years. I was trying to find some evidence in the place that the murder occurred with the autopsy only a couple of days away I wanted to try to get something’s to be analyzed in the lab. I was searching all around the place that the crime had taken place, but I did find something’s around where the body was found I had gained the sight of a simple blond hair which i was going to take in to be examined the crazy thing about this was that Jenna did not have blond hair no one in her family did so I suppose the killer must be a friend, then I had seen that their was a struggle of her trying to break free from the killer's grasp because all of her chairs had been thrown around all over the places and their was some broken glass on the floor. This was already becoming difficult because the killer had been smart to plan out the murder on the day of her party that way everyone would have touched something so we could not be able to pin the evidence on someone directly.



Now it was time for the autopsy I had brought her Mother, Father, and best friend Merissa. I asked them simple questions like was she a drinker and her parents answered yes, and I asked if she had been drinking that night they answered a couple of drinks but not enough to get her drunk. Then I took Merissa to a room and asked her if Jenna had done any type of drug that night that she was aware of? Merissa said that Jenna was not involved in any type of drug and if she was on any she was not aware of it!



So I went to tell go tell her Mother, Father, and Merissa the result of the autopsy the autopsy had reported that their had been beer and ecstasy pills involved in her body within about 2-hours after the party began, also in her body there was little pieces of glass in side of her intestines which would have caused the one thing that she died from internal bleeding this also explained the broken pieces of glass on the floor at her house. I was fascinated how someone could have done this with out a complaint for the noise of struggling with the victim, but who ever did this planed it out good.The only person that I could think of that could know every move Jenna was going to make the first person I suspected was Josh her boyfriend I thought it was a good match he also had blond hair so I took him in for questioning!



So Josh when was the last time you saw Jenna, the last time I her was ummmm aaaaabout 3 hours before her murder!Why did you take a while their boy...Ummmm it is hard for me to think under all this stuff..What are you scared that ill find out the truth that you killed Jenna I know you did we all know you did just admit it you killed her you Josh killed your girlfriend Jenna Thompson on her 21 birthday admit it!!!!! Admit it!!!!!!!!!!SHUT UP!!!!!!!!SHUT UP!!!!!!! I DIDNT DO ANYTHINGthen why are you so worked up about this.BECAUSE MY GIRLFRIEND WAS JUST MURDERED YOU DAMMM JERK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



OK then you are free to go Josh I am terribly sorry for your lose, you know that was just part of my job I had to do that to see if you would crack and you didn't so go on and enjoy your freedom.Even though I let him go I still had my eye on him I just had to see if it was him I mean it all matched up all the evidence he has blond hair, his finger prints were the only other ones matched on Jenna's cup the night of the party so I wanted to see what he might be p to this time because the evidence I had was still not enough to bring him down. Some of the things that he was up to were kind of convincing first I spotted him going to a Church so I followed him in. He was going to a confessional I was wondering what he could be telling the priest but I knew he couldn't tell me, then nothing was suspicious except the last stop. I had followed him to Jenna's house so after he came out I cuffed him and put him in for questioning again.



Josh some one man be straight up with me I know there is something that your not telling me and ifyou say it now there could be a chance that you might not be in that much trouble.Fine this is going to be kind of embarrassing I had been over her house about 2 hours before the party started and I was talking asking her to come and move in with me to my university. I had just decided to go to college and so did she so I left her my info that way she knew what to do, with the application. That was what I was doing over her house getting my information to mail it in.I don't know would you happen to have the information on you. Yes can you show it to me?Yes, her it isOk let me look over it...Alright you free to go but you are not out of this case until it is solved ok so be good.Now i was really wondering who the murder could be, their was no one else that could be matched to the evidence that I found. Wait a minute I never got the hair that I found at the crime scene analyzed maybe it could be someone else. Ummmm Rob can I get that blond hair from the Jenna Thompson case analyzed right away!Yes Joe I’m on it!Now I was going to go back, back to where everything started and try to point out how everything would have started. Ok if the Party ended at exactly midnight, and the murder happened about 12:30 p.m then whoever slipped the ex into her drink must have done it exactly when the party was over that way the pills could start to work and make Jenna hallucinate by that time of the murder. Everything was exact, whoever did this must have stood in the house. Rob are the results in.Yes, the blond hair that you found on the crime scene is fake, it is like from some sort of wig.Then it hit me of course the killer is not going to show up to a party with their true identity they were trying to hide something. I went to the Thompson’s house and asked if anyone who had attended the party was not suppose to be there."Yes there had been a very unusual women there that kept trying to talk to Jenna she had blondish hair".Then it came to me was Josh talking to that woman."Yes"Was Merissa there?"No unfortunately she was down with a bad headache so she stayed home". Why"? No reason, but something has come up ill call if I have anything else!"Ok then Joe be safe and thanks for all of your help".



Merissa Marie Adams 3209 N. March st."ding""ding""ding"Is anyone home!!! its Detective Joe Hansen.HELLO!!!!!! "I could hear the foot steps even from where I was standing but no one would answer the door."I'm coming in."BOOM""BOOM"Merissa what are you doing. come to me now please I need to ask you some questions."But why Joe the fun hasn't even started"."CRACK"BLACK OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Merissa is that you."Yes"Why Merissa why would you kill you best friend?"Because Joe she was a pain i had to pick up the slack, but yet she was the popular one, funny, one, and pretty one and that she is gone no one is standing in my spot light"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!How did you do it?"It was easy I drugged her up, then when everyone left, I came out by surprise, but she had been hallucinating already and I broke the table put glass on her mouth and gagged her. Then I cut her up so she could feel my pain"....Wow what a best friend well your going to fry in jail."Yea I don't think so bye Joe".



"Merissa""What now, oh snap""Crack" Josh help me get out of these ropes please. "No if Jenna had to die then so will you, bye have fun in the after life"NO!!!!!!!!!!!!I had never given much thought to how I would die, but I guess it was meant for me!!!!I died before I could give the name of the killer........................

How To Make Logandale Better

I think there are three main ways to improve the school. I think that there could be more activities like exploratory classes. They could also have more after school programs and sports to make more athletic kids want to come and not leave the school. Last, they could get more involved with the students so they could be prepared better for tests and stuff. What would you do to improve Logandale?????

First, I think that a simple way to improve Logandale is to have more exploratory classes. I think that many kids get bored of repeating the same three, but if we had more choices then the students would be ok because they could look forward to something else. In Logandale many of the exploratory teachers are rude and say things but they can’t admit they said it! I think that is wrong and that is why a lot of kids leave or get tired of going to that class. We should have more to get kids excited to do something else. Exploratory is suppose to be a kind of fun class, but not everyone has fun because they don’t feel good with doing the same thing over.

Second, they could also have more after school programs and sports to make more athletic kids want to come and not leave the school. A lot of kids like to spend their time after school doing fun stuff instead of being bored. Most kids like to play sports and get into a lot of things but sometimes a lot of the sports we want to play don’t get played. Last, when most kids don’t like the environment they are in they sometimes leave to try and find one that they will like and maybe that is something that is happening because they don’t get some of the stuff they ask for. MOST KIDS WANT TO BE HEARD ON WHAT THEY LIKE!!!!!!!!!

Last, they could get more involved with the students so they could be prepared better for tests and stuff. In some classes teachers think that students get it but some don’t know, and teachers don’t always make sure that the kids understand. A lot of kids end up failing on test because they are not always well prepared but then the teachers blame the student for not paying attention, and a lot of students don’t really like that. So if some teachers could help more students and be a little more involved in helping the students so they could help them understand what they are doing. Would you agree?????

I think that Logandale could be improved for these three main reasons. I think that there could be more activities like exploratory classes. They could also put more after school programs and sports to make more athletic kids want to come and not leave the school. Last, they could get more involved with the students so they could be prepared better for tests and stuff. What would you so to improve Logandale?????

Ernie's Life Story

I remember the day that my beautiful son Ernesto was born. It was a cold Christmas Eve day and i was experiencing excoriating pain, I had never given so much thought on how the pain would be but this was a great challenge to get that sucker out of me. I mean when I was younger I would love to play House with my older sister Margie we loved to be the housewives with the children it had always been my dream to have a child, but i never imagined that my dream come true. I was not able to have children because of my diabetes, so i had been very sad but after my brother Ernesto had died of a private reason i had found out i was pregnant this was wonderful because i had made a promise to my brother to name my son after him and now that he was born into this world he has the honor of having the name Ernesto.

It was such a beautiful moment painful but beautiful because everyone that I loved and was close to was there My sister Margie, My father, Mother, Brother, Husband Carlos, and i even flt as if my brother's spirit had been there with me guiding me through the whole thing.Everyone was sooooo excited when i came home the same night after giving labor because he was the newest edition to our family, that might my Mother and Father were throwing a Christmas Party soo everyone was there family, friends, just everyone. It was a cool day because everyone got to join in on my sons first day in this world, and from that day i knew my son Ernesto was a special boy.

The first couple of months with a baby were OK but stressful because we could not sleep had to be waking up in the middle of the night, we would always worry if something was wrong with him or something it is a very hard road to raising a child especially trying to make sire they come out good. Ernie was a smart kid from the age of 1 he had already started saying little words like "Mama, and Papa" i was so excited to get him to start talking and walking. Ernie started walking a couple of months after he turned a year old it was a very exciting moment in my life to see my own son walk around.

At age two he was learning simple things like reading some words out of books with my help of course, I did this because i wanted him to be prepared because as soon as he was five he would be in school. The oddest thing was potty training him, he would just love to wear his diapers we would literally have to fight with him to make him understand that he had to learn how to use it in a toilet. I can remember this one thing " My husband Carlos was going to change Ernie's diaper one day and Ernie got a little cold i guess and pied all over the place well more on his Father". We all had a lot of good times together and that is a memorie that i will never forget about my baby boy Ernie. I think that I did a good job raising my son and I pray to god that he will never change on me because I would feel so much disappointment in him, but now a days in our lives he is good and well behaved I am a proud parent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What I Wish From Barack Obama?

What I wish from Barack Obama would be to keep the women’s rights to choose to reproduce or not. I think this is because there are some baby’s that are unwanted in this world, and its very sad that there is this, but we have to think that if we take away a women’s right to choose there are going to be a whole lot of unwanted babies in this world. I would say that a lot of people like to make opinions about women that should not get abortions and stuff, but if you would ask them if they would keep the baby then they would say NO. I think that women really need to have this choice between having the baby and not having the baby, I say this because it is a real life changer to have a baby and that is something that women really have to decide if they want to become a mother or not. What would you say about this topic?

I think this is because there are some baby’s that are unwanted in this world by their parents, and its very sad that there is this, but we have to think that if we take away a women’s right to choose there are going to be a whole lot of unwanted babies in this world. This is a serious issue because every year there are a lot of unwanted babies, and this is the saddest thing because some parents kill their babies or they might leave them to die some where because they really don’t want them. Also, if this thing happens where women do not have the choice to get abortions then if they don’t wan the baby where is t going to go, because eventually they are going to run out of space in the orphanages, so we really need to open our eyes and see the truth in these things. Women should have this choice also because its their body and they are the ones who will be experiencing on having a baby, so I wish Obama agrees with me on the women making the choice. Would you agree with me, or be against me?

I would say that a lot of people like to make opinions about women that should not get abortions and stuff, but if you would ask them if they would keep the baby then they would say NO. This is one thing that I really hate when people try to make choices for other people, but they know that they would not make the choices that they are making for other people for themselves. People now a day could be such hypocrite because they like to say one thing on a really important topic that could change our future but totally do something else. What if the women pregnant with the fetus are not women but young girls, then how would this be, we would be living in a messed up world. People we need to think about this because at the end it is our children at steak!!!!!!

I think that women really need to have this choice between having the baby and not having the baby, I say this because it is a real life changer to have a baby and that is something that women really have to decide if they want to become a mother or not. What if a girl got raped from a weird guy trying to come home from school, and then she finds out that she is pregnant, how would her life change by having the baby, it is just not fair sometimes because they never asked for that incident to happen to them. In these cases we have to think of it as this happening to our own daughters, or sisters, we would not want them to ruin their lives by having the baby because they never had a choice to decide if they really wanted it, and then their would go a smart person. Also, an apposing view point here would be that if the girls don’t have the choice then a lot of our women would be ready to experience the way of giving birth because a lot of people don’t wait to do this, but this would be something good to not to give them a choice because it would scare teens a little to keep it in their pants until marriage. How would you treat this case, you should really think because this is what our future might be like!!

In conclusion, what I wish from Barack Obama would be to keep the women’s rights to choose to reproduce or not. I think this for my three main reasons. I think this is because there are some baby’s that are unwanted in this world, and its very sad that there is this, but we have to think that if we take away a women’s right to choose there are going to be a whole lot of unwanted babies in this world. I would say that a lot of people like to make opinions about women that should not get abortions and stuff, but if you would ask them if they would keep the baby then they would say NO. I think that women really need to have this choice between having the baby and not having the baby, I say this because it is a real life changer to have a baby and that is something that women really have to decide if they want to become a mother or not. What would you do in this situation? What side would you be on? Don’t you think the choice should be up to the women?

My Life Changing Event

My life changing event happened in first grade, when I meet my best friend David Rosado for the first time. When I had meet him for the first time we didn't really talk at all we had just been in the same class, but then their was an event that happened that made us start talking a lot. From that day e had became best friends. We had alto of good times together because we would always be talking in class, and just really having a good time in class. I had always helped him with his homework because he asked me too and I wanted got be a good best friend so I would try to help him and he would help me, if he knew something I didn’t know. So we had a really good bond, through out our first grade year.

David and I used to have a lot of fun in class because we would always be goofing around in class, but when it really came down to work we did it or some of it. I mean me and David have been best friends for about 8 or 9 years, the only thing that had happened before was that after first grade me and him had never been in the same classroom again but we would still say hi and bye, but we had never stopped being best friends, but we had started hanging out and talking a lot again this year. Now a days me and him hag out a lot like were really brothers. David and I have had a lot of good memories around this whole neighborhood and even in some other places too. I remember when we went laser tagging for my birthday at the Hip Mall. We had gone with my Aunt, 2 of her friends, and Devin our little cousin. We had so much fun we were chasing each other through out the entire room, and on our last round we were trying to stick together, and help each other out we ended up doing it and having sooo much fun. Good times, Good times.

We have some other memories with our close friend/sister Celeste we all have a lot of fun together except when people start talking pooh pooh, but other than that we always have a good time. I would have to say that this was one of the most life changing things for me because David was my first best friend, but also he is the first best friend that I would consider being really close to besides someone else. I had got my first best friend that was a guy in first grade and it was pretty cool. The best part is that I have someone to talk to about private things, which he could understand and wouldn't say anything bout. When did you get a best friend???? Was it as exciting as my own experiences with my best friend, answer my QUESTION!!!!!!!!!

Parents Are The Best Teachers!!!!!

I would have to say that parent’s are the really best teacher’s for three main reasons. My first reason is that parents are the people who raise you and teach you right from wrong.
My second reason is that Parent’s could teach you a lot of things that you could not learn in school, they are the people you spend a lot of time with, out side of school. My last reason is that you spend a lot of time with your parents so you know them, and you could talk to them about a lot of things that you normally could not tell anyone, besides a best friend. What would you say is the better teacher, a real school teacher or a parent, the choice is your’s??????

My first reason is that parents are the people who raise you, and teach you right from wrong. Parents are the people who basically teach you the basics, and are going to love you forever, no matter what and, they teach you a lot of things before you even go to school. You also have a really strong bond with your parents because of how long you have been with them. Parents protect you from harm, and do everything to make sure that your are alright. I think that all parents treat their kids as the most important thing in their LIVES!!!!!!!!

My second reason is that Parent’s could teach you a lot of things that you could not learn in school, they are the people you spend a lot of time with, out side of school. Parents teach their kids how to cook, clean things properly and other things like that, things you use in everyday life. They could also teach you how to have good hygiene, how to walk when you are a baby, really important skills that you need to know to do other things. Parents also show you the best road to success in life because they want the best for their children in life, so they make sure of that. I would say that your parents could teach you things that you would not ever learn in school!!!!

My last reason is that you spend a lot of time with your parents so you know them, and you could talk to them about a lot of things that you normally could not tell anyone, besides a best friend. For example, every kid has secrets that they won’t really trust anyone else with besides their best friend, and parents, so they need important advice that their parent’s could give them.
Parents usually have the best advice and know what they are telling you because most of the time they have gone through the same thing that you have. Last, they are some of the biggest role models in your life, because usually you want to be just like your parents so they play a very important part in your life. Most of the things you do is because you have seen it from someone else!

In conclusion, I think that parents are the best teachers for these three main reasons. My first reason is that parents are the people who raise you and teach you right from wrong. My second reason is that Parent’s could teach you a lot of things that you could not learn in school, they are the people you spend a lot of time with, out side of school. My last reason is that you spend a lot of time with your parents so you know them, and you could talk to them about a lot of things that you normally could not tell anyone, besides a best friend. Do you agree with me????

A Skill Everyone Needs

A skill that everyone needs is learning how to speaking English & another language. This is the main thing that I will be focusing on in my writing for this post; The First reason for this is because it is getting even harder to find jobs in America now. Second, you might have to know English plus a second language for a specific job that you may want because of the issue with customers not knowing how to speak this English language. And My Third reason is, that in jobs many times you might be required to do the same thing but in multiple languages so to have this skill it would help you one getting the jobs done, and also getting a job or keeping the job. Wouldn't you agree with this, especially how the world is today???

My first reason is that most business in America now are in neighborhoods that have a specific type of race and most of these races necessarily don't speak English. So a lot of these business look for people that could speak more than one language, a lot of the races that may be in a single neighborhood might be Polish, Puerto Rican, African, and the store knows that if the customers don't know what the seller is saying the store will possibly lose some business. So basically what I am saying is that the Stores or Business look for People that could speak these types of languages so now it is harder to find a steady job or get one at all.

My Second reason, is that many people in the U.S like to have a profession that they have to go to school for and everything, but as I was writing earlier a lot of these places have some really good people working their already. And most of the good people who work their might speak more that just one language which is very helpful. So this is something that could prevent a person from getting the job of their dreams, not only because of the specific needs that the company is looking for but because of how little space their is to work in a place. Another reason it is a good idea to learn a second language aside from English is because it would be a lot easier to find a job, so I would say this is an important skill that everyone needs to make it easier for them to find a good professional job. Do you consider getting a job today is easy or not??????

My Third reason, is that in a job sometimes their are things that you have to do in multiple languages, and if you can not do those things then, it could cost you big time. I would say that because of the lack of the jobs and the problem with companies wanting to hire people that can do things in multiple languages this is a real hassle to either get a job or keep a job. Something’s that usual get involved with speaking another language is the clients because if they are not on the same page as you then they don't really understand what you are trying to do for them then things get screwed up for you. For example, in most cases in the city of Chicago their are a lot of Hispanic, and polish people so many of them don't speak really good English so, they expect everything to be in their own language, so in these cases the language thing would be helpful. So I would have to say this for all of my reasons would you agree with me or what??????

In conclusion, I would say that it is an important skill that everyone needs to get a good job to know English and another language aside from that one. I would feel this way for all of my three reasons. First reason for this is because it is getting even harder to find jobs in America now. Second reason you might have to know English plus a second language for a specific job that you may want because of the issue with customers not knowing how to speak this English language. And My Third reason is, that in jobs many times you might be required to do the same thing but in multiple languages so to have this skill it would help you one getting the jobs done, and also getting a job or keeping the job. Those are my reason on why I think this is an important skill that everyone needs!!!!!!

The Best Day Ever

My best day ever had began with a really good morning, i woke up & already knew how this day in particular was going to be good. I had just done most of the stuff that i do everyday for school
take a shower, get dressed, eat breakfast, & be on my way to school, but the best part about my day doesn't happen until Boys & Girls Club.
I left my house & went to pick up my best friend, & some other people, we were hanging out for a little then came to school to LEARN...... My day was good, but as usual I had received of work with all the other students in my class because were HONORS.

The school day really tired me out & it made me just want to go home, to relax but something about today just made have to go, as a mater of fact i was right about that. I had been chilling with Vanessa & her ex-boyfriend Luis,
When the girl that I happen to like came to sit with us at the table so we all started a conversation it was all going really good with her.
Today was a day were alot of new things that i don't really want to say got discovered between all of us, alot of good things. I had been in such a good mood because of what happened, i couldn't believe it, & what happened later was so much better, I was not expecting it.

All four of us were just hanging the whole time we were at B&G Club, so this made it very exciting & unpredictable on what could happen, but just to say it was nothing much we were all just together talking about some private things.
At the end of B&G Club was the best time out of the whole day because we kind of kissed, and really started talking good, even over the phone.
So My Best Day Ever went something just like that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PS:This happened a while back.......
