"Two Kinds: Mother & Daughter Conflict Paragraph

In the conflict to were Jing-Mei’s mom wants her to be a child prodigy and Jing-Mei doesn’t want to be, I agree with Jing-Mei because, I feel that when people try and push someone to do something it puts a lot of pressure on someone. I know what it feels like when someone wants you to be something your not. For an example when Jing-Mei mom tried to get her to do acting she started to refuse. Jing-Mei wanted to be her own person, not who her mom wanted her to be. I feel that the reasons for Jing-Mei’s action were perfectly understandable, I like to imagine when I was in her shoes and how I felt. (Words 117)

"Two Kinds" In the Shoes of a Prodigy

If I was pushed to be a Child Prodigy I would feel trapped because, I would feel that I can’t make me own decisions. The funny thing is my Auntie Patricia tried to make me a child actress, just like in the story. When she was pushing me I was younger than her and I just went along with it, but now if she tried I would dyne. I feel that when you are younger school isn’t as bad but now I wouldn’t have time and I think that I would hate my life. I would hate my life because I would feel like it wasn’t mine; I would feel like it was hers. So I understand what she is going through and wanting to be her own person.(words 129)

"Character Analysis of Shaurice"

The person I chose to analyze is Shaurice. I chose to analyze her because, I think that she is very outgoing, and she is also very out spoken. I say that she is out going because she always has a smile on her face, unless she is upset. She is very out spoken because, she says what is on her mind and she is not afraid to tell someone how she feels about them. When people look at her they think that she is a girl who is not afraid to say how she feels and they are right. Also when they see her play sports they can tell she is a girl with confidence and it shows in every sport she plays. She tries her hardest in every sport and that to me is where she is the most strongest.

Everyday Use

In the story “Everyday Use”, the character I can compare the most to is Dee. I compare myself to Dee because just like her I have moved away from home. I want better for myself to and sometime I don’t want to bring family over because I am a little embarrassed of the way that my family lives. I love the way that they act but I just hate their living environment. I won’t go extreme like she did and change my name, because I like my past and I know where I come from, which is why I want to change it. I compare myself to her because we have a lot in common we both come from places where we want to live from. But unlike her I wouldn’t change the way I am.(words 136)

Maggie Point of View

Maggie Point of View: Growing up I feel that Dee was always the pretty one. When I got burned it was the worst thing that has happened to me I feel like no one wants to look at me and that people see me as a monster. That is why it is hard for me to show my body I feel that people will look at me and be discussed. When Dee went off to college I was happy but at the same time upset because that could have been me if it wasn’t for mother and I then she would have never been going to college. So when she came back here with her new husband all I could think was. Why does this girl think that she is better than I am, why does she act the way she does. I feel like she is ashamed of momma and I because we don’t live like she does, and because we don’t like to change were we come from like the way she does. We are proud of were we come from and they way we are and I would change it for the world.(words 196)

Also on Christmas Eve I would let my kid’s open up two presents one that they will pick out and another that I will choose. Before Christmas in like the begging of December, I will sit with my kids and make a Christmas list.

Mouse in the Cafe

It all started on a Friday night, it was a cold night and Melissa the mouse was staring at this hole that entered the café. She stared at it debating whether or not to go in. As she was thinking all of these things came to mind, what if she was to go in there and there was a cat, or what is she went and there was a dog what would she do. So after awhile she looked at the hole again and she took a deep breath and she took a small step and she went forward. She continued walking forward and as she did she also continued thinking. Soon she came to a stop and she looked in, to her surprise there was nothing to worry about. She walked into the hole and she found warmth. She was so delighted that she went into the hole she wanted to jump for joy. As she started walking she was also looking for a nice place to sleep. She found a small couch and she rolled up in to a little ball. She went to sleep and she realized she was safe n her new home ( Words :199)

Prompt B

Prompt B: write a narrative paragraph from the point of view of Leonard Mead as he enters the facility.

As I walked though the door into the building I was thinking to myself, “out of all the people who let this take over their mind and I am the one who is sent her.” I began to look around and as I looked around I saw people who looked like the life as been sucked out of them. I did not to turn into one of those people. The first night there I was looked into a room with nothing but a T.V and a bed. I tried my best not to look at the T.V. for the first five days or so I looked at the wall after the sixth day I cracked. There was nothing to do so I finally watched T.V. at first it wasn’t all that bad but then I noticed that nothing else was going to change and I was turning into the people I didn’t want to be. Everything I did was in front of the T.V. the only place I moved to was the bathroom to use. Other than that I stayed in front of the T.V.

The Pedestrian

The reason Ray Bradbury wrote “ The Pedestrian” is because he wanted to explain what he thinks life would have been like in the future. Because computer were not invented well internet he figured that everyone would live at home watching T.V, and that life will be a very sad place. The purpose of him writing this story is to show people what he thinks will happen in the future. It is easy to tell because when he was walking he didn’t talk to anyone because everyone was in the house and everything seemed black and boring. Which made me think what will the future really will be like will things change to were people all stay in there home. Will the government give up on certain people, doesn’t it make people want to wonder.

Homework Promt B

I expect that in 2053 there will be flying cars, no I was just kidding I except that in 2053 there will be better schools because with all of the high tech thing that we have going on that by that time it will get better. I expect that by that time all of the budget cuts will be gone and that we will have more people working. I except for the amount in the foster system to decrease by half because hopefully, by that time people will do the right thing and treat there kids better. Also I except that people will be more of leader than followers and that every kid will grow up at the time they need to that because of family they wont have to grow up faster than there time.

Homework

I think that the theme is to spend more time with your friends. But not there is a time for everything and that in life there will be a time to party and have friends and to love, but there is also a time to work. in the contents of a dead man pocket it also talked about how there is a time for work and friends.
