Man,I just got to have those blue suede shoes, As I was walking down the street one night thinking about how badly I wanted those shoes even though I had not even enough money to buy my own food, I was lonely dirty little boy and when I saw this large purse with this large helpless lady I couldn't resist but want to try and grasp her purse. It's not like I wasn't going to feel bad about it after wards but, what else could I do?..So I sneakily ran up to this lady and tried snatching her purse away the strap snapped. The large woman screamed at me and in shock picked me up and kicked me! That really did hurt I didn't give in to the pain though. The angry look the large lady gave me scared me ore then anything.. By the time I got into her house I didn't realize what has happened, there was roommates I think or family? She couldn't dare hurt me in front of people .. Right? As the lady asked questions I answered until she told me to go wash my face of course it was a relief after I felt so much cleaner. Then this lady asked to stay for the food there was food was she trying to fatten me up just couldn't help looking at the door again and again I wanted to run but I just couldn't the trust this lady held out was strong. By the time the food was done I was awkwardly trusting her, the food was really good. Then when I was done she told me she had stole something before to? So we have something in common of course she could have just said that but after everything she gave me money.? This lady was so nice I even got to get the pair of shoes I wanted because o her everything happens for a reason.

Situation
Have you ever been in a situation that you have been heart broken or you felt it Was unfair ? In the short story "The lottery" by Shirley Jackson has two main themes which is unfairness and heart broken. This story is about the lottery except it's not actually about winning the lottery it's about getting your name chosen from a black box and once you are chosen you go to the next round and the next. If you win the final round you get stoned to death.
First of all the first theme in the lottery is unfairness because the main character didn't think it was fair her husband got to pull the card out of the bucket. Also it could be unfairness because everyone doesn't know anything except there village in the world.
Although, unfairness is a pretty big theme I think the bigger them heart broken the reason why I say that is because if you have to stone your friends or family it must hurt to sit there , and watch them get stoned to death. since the bigger the rock the bigger the friendship could also mean knowing you ended your friends life that your rock could have been the rock that knocked them out. To sit there and watch the pain that you give your close family, friends.
In conclusion even though this story I think is a sad story, it also has a great meaning to it and the themes have a great meaning to it too.

I Was Left All Alone
Dear Humans,
I was there all alone, next to no one on a hot summer day. I felt so lonely the scent of lavender drifted farther away as my fellow friends disappeared. You see I'm the last flower living in my flower bed. This was where I was born and raised. Every other of my friends died from heat stroke or not enough water with the sunny beating straight down on me I'm not sure how much more I can take myself. I'm so lonely I wish my family was just here. We use to sing songs all day long and wait for that one stormy night to come and give us a nice refresh. t would make me so happy just to have that one last time before I go. So here I sit here waiting for the day I dread to come.
From,
the last flower in the flower bed.

Bully
Author note: I wrote this to get the word out about bullying.
Bullying causes 100 kids to commit suicide a day.If you saw bullying, what would you do to stop it? Would you stand by and let it happen ?Take part in it, or try to stop it? Not many students think about this, and that’s part of the problem when it comes to bullying.
Treat others the way you want to be treated.That’s the Golden Rule and it should be followed in every of your life. If someone was in a position to stop you from being bullied and did nothing, how would you feel? If you find that unacceptable, you must do everything you can to stop others from hurting people.No one is even aware of how much pain these victims feel every day. They go to school knowing they’re going to be hurt and they see no way out. This is because people that bully and many others stand by and let it happen without realizing how much pain this is causing people.
Even though,bully's know most of the time how much pain they are giving the individual they don't stop. When the victims see no way out, they may choose to tragically end their life, leaving more hurt behind for those who were unable to stop it.A death of a young person is always a waste of life,even if they lived a good short life.So how many more lives must be wasted before something is done? If you see.or hear bullying in any way you are taking part in it and will be considered a bystander. Bullying is everyone’s responsibility and the option of doing nothing is not a option .
Finally ,bullying can happen in school, so it is the responsibility of students to protect their classmates and to show everyone the respect they would like to be treated with. The first line of defense in bullying is in student’s own behavior. But when that fails, it must be brought to the attention of someone, like a teacher.Speak to a teacher you trust and know will do something to stop the bullying.
In conclusion Bullying is happening everywhere, even at your own school. You may not see it, you may not know it is there, but it is happening and it causes unimaginable pain to the victims. The only way to end bullying is to talk about it If someone is hurting another person, they will not stop unless someone (either a fellow classmate or a teacher) stands up for the victim and tells there bully to stop. Bullying is everyone’s problem; therefore everyone has to be part of the solution.

Power
Author note:This essay is to achieve my goals.and district assignment
Have you ever been taken away from your family and friends and had to survive on your own agaisnt 24 other people who are trying to kill you? If you have you might know how a young girl named Katniss Everdeen feels when she has to volunteer for the Hunger Games. Some of the main themes in the Hunger Games are love, survival and trust.
First of all Love is very easy to find right from the beginning in the Hunger Games. After about 24 pages or so it really stands out and this is how, Katniss’s little sister is chosen to be in the Hunger Games and she is just 12 years old. Katniss is watching in the crowd as her sister goes up to the stage. Katniss knows her sister will die if she goes into the games so Katniss runs up to the stage and decides to take her sisters place in the Hunger Games. This is the first act real love in the story, Katniss cared to much about her sister to let her be in that position. The second act of real love is in the actual Hunger Games. Two people from every district are chosen to go to the Games. The other person that was chosen to go with her is Peeta Mellark. When Katniss hears his name out of the speakers she whispers to herself “Oh No, not Peeta” “page 23”.
Another theme in the Hunger Games is survival. This is really important because, the real Hunger Games are all about being able to survive. The Hunger Games are just for the enjoyment of the people. The Hunger Games is about a 2 or 3-month reality show.kindve like survivor but, not really. In survivor when they just send you home when you mess up, in the Hunger Games you will be killed if you mess up.Katniss has to survive weeks in the forest with no food or water but that’s not the worst part, there will be other people out to kill her. To survive the game Katniss will have to kill someone sooner or later. Right before the Hunger Games start Katniss and Peeta tell each other “good luck” (on page 124) Then the games begin!
Finally The third theme is trust. You have to be able to trust someone else in the games to survive because there is power in numbers. One of the people Katniss decides to trust is Peeta, but then she soon thinks that that was a dumb idea Katniss’s exact words where“how could I trust him he had a act” (on page 177).Katniss trusted no one she didn’t know who to trust.This can relate to the real world because it’s hard to know who to always trust.
In conclusion even if you have never seen the movie or book this paper should help because now that you know the main theme's in the Hunger Games are love, survival and trust.You will be able to understand the book and the movie a lot better.

Viruses What Are They Really?
Authors note: The purpose of this piece is to tell about viruses and what are they are. How do they affect organisms? And I will explain 2-viruses, also how viruses are helpful and/or harmful to humans.
When you are sick do you ever wonder what bug you have? And what’s really happening to your body? The aches the coughs the chills they are all caused by this little thing called a viruses. There are thousands of viruses in the world and there are many types of viruses some are good and some are bad for the human body.
First of all, not many people really know what a virus is. So let’s talk about what a virus isn’t . A virus is not bacteria or “independently-living organism (Brown).Now for what a virus is, a virus is a non living particle and They attack healthy cells viruses do not have the characteristics of living things they are not able to change food into energy that the body can use. Also a virus can’t live without a “absence of a living cell” (Brown).
Now with a strong definition of what a viruses is you will understand the two more popular viruses a Rhinovirus and a flavirues .A rhinovirus is also known as the west Nile virus. The West Nile Virus is a virus that already has the viruses and if you get bitten by a mosquito you can get the infection. Some symptoms are , headaches, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness, vision loss, numbness and paralysis. These symptoms may last several weeks these effects may also be permanent (What's West Nile Virus). There Is no way to cure it at this time other than just resting . The second viruses is the flavirues this viruses is also known as a head cold. it’s like a normal cold “coughing sneezing runny nose”. This viruses will clear up in a few days and there is a vaccine to this viruses but it isn’t very dependable (ALANE E.NOURSE).
However, those two viruses are both harmful to a human body there are ways a viruses could be helpful along with harmful.” First of all ,concerning the virus as helpful as it's used mostly in the field of biotechnology where they use it to inject a genetically modified genes into the genom of specific organ of the body ( as virus is specific ) and so may cure certain diseases” (Viruses ). Which that means a virus can be helpful by if you have a disease and cure the certain disease. Now, a viruses can be harmful l to a human body because they infect the body .Viruses are harmful also because they infect specific tissue in the body and cause disturbances in this organ such as flu virus.
Finally after learning on how harmful or helpful a viruses can be how about hot a viruses can affect organism. “Viruses attack animals, plants, fungi, protects, and bacteria. Some viruses can infect only specific kinds of cells” (GreenBook). That means that the viruses can only go into as a certain type of cell and infect those types of cells.
In conclusion viruses’ can be good and evil to the human body. Now with a little more knowledge about them. You don’t have to mistake them for anything else except for what they are. Also now when you have the flu or the cold or something you can understand on what’s happening to the body.

Being Free
Author note: The purpose of this piece to tell the reader if the slaves in the north in the 1800's where really free or not.
In 1800’s most of the North African Americans where free from slavery at that period of time. By free that means that they were no longer owned as property they still had restrictions and not everyone treating them equally. Also since they had freedom but restrictions their freedom where completely different from the white freedom. The whites has no restrictions, so the question is is the north African Americans really free? How free are they really?
Even though everyone has restrictions in life. thanks to the law in the 1800’s the blacks had restrictions . For example just like in the DBQ document A they said that the blacks couldn’t vote and they could practice religion but, without the whites.They couldn’t pray with the whites they had to find their own place to do it.
Another reason on why blacks weren’t free is because of the way they were treated by the whites. As kids blacks and whites went to different schools,and as the blacks grow up even if they had a great education no whites would employee them. No whites would like to work with them. In the website http://history1800s.about.com said even in some places whites wouldn’t let them check books out from the public library, because they thought they would steal the books. Also on the website it said that some whites wouldn’t let them eat in the same place as them which is ridiculous. In the North, attitudes were hardening against slavery, and as time passed the passions over slavery threatened repeatedly to shatter the Union.
Finally, Other than not being able to eat, sit or be in the same place as the whites, What about the black women? They weren’t very important at this period of time they were there to cook and clean just the white women. But no matter what color they where they were treated less important that the men. Especially the black women.
In conclusion with everything you now know about how the backs were treated, the restrictions they had and how the women were treated. Even though they were called “free blacks” I think that they weren’t free at all. I think it’s way worse than the blacks in the south because knowing, you are different from everyone because of your skin color. It’s not fair but, finally now you know the answer to the question is was the North African Americans really free? How free are they really?
