If i was completely honest all the time i would probably get in trouble a lot more at school and at home. I would probably have less friends also. I do respect Brad Blanton for his honesty because it takes a lot of courage to come out and say the truth especially so in depth like Brad did.

raymonds run is a story that makes people want to change cause it is so powerful.

If i only had one year to live i would tell the people i never told i love them and i would party all day long XD!!!!!

This weekend i went airsofting with a couple friends of mine, it all started when i shot my friend Aaron Mulberg in the eye ball he got mad started chasing me i tripped fell and smashed my tooth agaist the road and chipped it a little bit. I want to get it fixed but i dont think i will considering that it cost over 800 dollars to fix. The following day me and my freinds collin and kendrick went aisofting and it was me vs the two of them, ( i won). One of my friends was chasing me through the woods and i tripped i was in last stand mode when my friend caught up to me he tried to shoot me but since i was in last stand it was hard. I then hip fired and shoot him right above his eye (he went down hard) then making my narrow escape.

I would want to be known as someone that did something heroic like saving someones life.

I would interview the main character (dan economou). I would ask him what life was like, what did he think about the war, and did he ever see his family again.

Tanner talked to teirnan tonight through the telephone. Teirnan texted Tyler to tell the tale that tanner told to teachers today. The twisted tale told tyler to tackle tanner tonight.

One thing that suprised me was one of the top ten things it was that more black troops fought for the Union then the amount of troops on both sides of the Battle of Getysberg. One of the important top ten things to me was that young kids fought for the war to which shows how serious the war was.

My main character will be Abraham Lincoln. Some of the other characters will be other Union soldiers.

I think that there are times where you can fight without being voilent. If someone is acusing you a doing something you did not do i think that u can step up and argue to try to prove that you are innocent. If i could fight for something i would fight about shorting the school year because i think it takes up 12 years of your life 9 months of your year 5 days of your week and 7 1/2 hours of your day.

yes i think everyone should have free will because god gave every that gift. I dont think there would be a point to life is nobody had free will. If no one could make their own decisions then there would be no jobs or fun or anything. Yes i do think people have free will because we all have the opportunity to make our choices that is what makes everyone different .

I dont like school.

I dont like school. One reason i dont like school is because i have to wake up early. Another reason is because Mr. Strauss took my cellphone. Another reason is because i have to walk to school and in winter it is really cold sometimes. I also dont like school because some teachers are mean to me. I don't like school because i am usually really hungry and the lunches are not filling. The biggest reason I do not like school is because there is to much homework. One of the only reasons i like school is because of my friends.

I think that everyone has a unique personality and everyone is different

If i could pick a superpower I would pick the power to stop time. I would to be honest stop time and take a candy bar from the store and i would stop time so I could sleep longer.

Respect i think people should get respect by just being a good person overall. You need to be nice, and kind without doing it when everyone is watching.

Speak Essay

Sexual Assault is a serious matter and should not be considered a funny thing like to some people. In the book Speak a young girl named Melinda gets sexually assaulted. She has to go through a lot of tough time throughout the whole book. Sexual Assault is a very serious matter and should not be considered a joke.

Victims of sexual assault should be respected and not thought of as a bad person. In the book Speak the main character Melinda is thought of as a bad person because they think she called the cops at a party for a different reason that actually happened, and got a lot of people in trouble. Now every hates her for what she did yet they do not understand what actually happened. Another way Melinda is more depressed because she has to deal with every one being mean to her as well.

Sexual Assault to some people is a life changing experience. It could put them in to depression or make them be paranoid for the rest of the lives. To make matters worse some people are too embarrassed to talk about it and they have no one to talk to. Sexual Assault defiantly changes people, in a mentally hurtful and physically hurtful way. People don’t realize the full extent of what it does to a person.

There is no cure for sexual assault so bad people who are into that stuff should stop because they don’t realize the pain they are causing. Sexual assault can lead to depression, suicide, and hurt people in many ways. Sexual assault is too serious to be taking like a joke. Talking to and comforting victims of this crime is a great way to help people calm down.

Human Equality

Imagine working for someone you didn’t know from sun up to sun down. Your only break was when you went to sleep. That is exactly how black people were treated for hundreds of years. War comes to Willy Freeman is a book where it explains this very well. Black people were mistreated in and did nothing to deserve it. In the Revolutionary War black people were promised their freedom if they fought for the army on either sides. Both sides treated black people a little bit better hoping they would join one side. “We were told to leave niggers alone , hoping they’ll join our side” –British Solider. Even though they were promised freedom they still had to go through a tough time not knowing if they would live. It says all men were created equal in the Declaration of Independence. It sure does not look like it when black people were working to the bone doing white men’s work. “It makes you mad scrubbing others floors if was your own you would not be mad cause you cleaning your house”- Willy Freeman. Many black people were killed just out of pure hatred. Black people were always the most poor, least successful, and always never good enough. It got so bad black people could not even marry someone they loved if that person was white. Black people were considered bad for some odd reason. Really white people should be considered bad after the way they acted. Black people should not be mistreated because they taught everyone a lesson. The lesson is one of almost every schools top message; treat others the way you want to be treated.
