BEST FRIENDS FOREVERRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                            

      When I hear the word “friend” my mind automatically thinks of AnaMae. We have been best friends since I was five. We met on a soccer team that her mom and my mom were coaching. She actually hated me when we first met because I was so different than her and she wanted to be like me. But soon we grew to be the best of friends ever. So many times we’ve been mistaken for sisters because of our images. We both have brown hair that gets really light in the summer although hers is a shade lighter than mine. Our eyes are similar, hers are a rusty brown with glimpses of green and yellow, mine are just a dark chocolate brown sometimes with little specks of orange and really light brown.  I have a dark sea blue circle around my eyes and same with hers. I have always been about an half inch taller than her but it’s always changing. We are similar and we think a like, we don’t really have to many opposite opinions, but that’s what brings us closer together.

       

  One of the best memories that I had with AnaMae was when we were about seven or eight. I was at her house in the middle of summer. We were really bored and we felt like making a little trouble. So we walked down her road to the big berry thorn bush ; where we were supposed to be picking black berries. Instead we started to take off all the thorns that we could get. We ran to all of her neighbors mailboxes and started placing the thorns up right so that when the neighbors would go to get the mail they would prick themselves. We thought this was hilarious and very clever. We ran up her road, doing that to every mailbox we could find. We were just busting up. We thought that it was vandalism and we felt really cool. Then we put rocks on top of the neighbors mail and all in their mailboxes. That day we went home grinning and thinking that we were amazing criminals.

 We always have been trouble makers and we always will be. We are responsible people, but when we are together we are unstoppable. We’re both dare devils and take risks. We both think that we should live our life in the fast lane. Our friendship is growing per second and we are always together. AnaMae and I are truly sisters and always will be.

Technology

I have a I pod touch that i use for music and i use it for games when I'm bored but i don't use it very often because i'm never home. I also have a laptop but it doesn't usually work but when it does i use it for school papers or email. I have a TV that i watch when I'm tired and it has hilarious shows like family guy and American dad or the Secret Life of American Teenager and Reno 911and other shows.
 I think that in 10 years kids and teachers aren't going to have any paper or books. We are just going to have ipads that has math and social studies and language arts and science. Then  the board is going to be an Iboard which is like and Ipad but covering a wall.
In 50 years i honestly do not know or have any idea of whats going to happen. But i think that something big and electronic is going to happen.

lazy, caring

                                                                         Lazy

                                                       sleepy, groggy, coach potato

                                                      lounging on the coach all day-o 

                                                                           Caring 

                                                                  smiley,happy,loving

                                                                 defiantly not shoving

Gmynastics: Beam

   Inhale a deep gulp of air like a vacuum, hop up onto the long plank towering of the ground
  You try to stay balanced, your legs tremble underneath you, you make your first leap, gliding in the air like a swallow, feeling as light as a feather. You come down onto that long intimidating plank.
make a wrong move and you tumble off, your face turns as red as a cherry tomato,
embarrassment falls over you, hundreds of eyes watching you like hawks,
quickly you get back on even though you feel like quitting, you are on that long plank again, ready for your next move: a cartwheel your hands touch the the plank and you launch your legs over you, your legs cut through the air like scissors , you feel glorious,victorious, as you make your landing,
pride is gleaming and glistening like diamonds, you grin and your eyes shine, but you have to dismount, take a long stride, put your hands on the beam launch all of your body over you, flip over and you land your front handspring.Throw your hands up and smile.

Slavery Days

               A little boy watched his mom beg for her kids
                                     and then get kicked and beat

                   Slaves tired to escape then got caught and brutally beaten,
                                             sometimes killed.

           Uncle Toms were torn away from their real friends
                                  to go with their enemies
                 
                                A slave pretended to be blind
                                     was set free, ran away to become a successful farmer
                          
            25 whip lashes was only a small amount
                       they were used to much more
                                    
                                  people acutally sold other people
                                         like animals 
                                                
                    Slaves were torn away from thier family
                                                    never saw them again

..................POEM

…………….POEM

Long, tall, stretched out neck

Tall as a skyscraper

Dark, muddy, splotches covering a murky yellow body glistening in the sun like a dirty yellow shirt

Tearing apart its food with its razor sharp teeth, shredding it to pieces  

Its legs as long as a towering tree

Its horns like a club

Its ears soft as silk 

Its tongue as long as Yao Ming

Its hooves as powerful as a panda

This is a beast that you surely would not want to mess with

Every step it takes it’s like the earthquake in Japan

Its mouths foams starving for food

You can not tame this firousis animal

Langston Hughes Response " A Dream Deferred" by ella

I think that he is trying to say that people give up on their dream and that they don't follow through and let it die. But that's what i think and i also think at the part where it says " or crust over like a syrupy sweet" it means that their dream is a really good dream but it's to hard to acopmlish and then you forget about it. I think this poem is completly true and that's why it's famous. I still like it though because it's reality.
