What I would change

Honestly I don’t think that I would change anything in my life. I believe that everything happens for a reason and that this is how my life is supposed to turn out, but if I was going to change one thing I think that I would change is what I did in the first grade. I did something bad; I don’t really know what it was that I had done; but somehow I got a red light. I knew that I would get a whooping if I came home with a red light, so I came home went straight to my sister’s room and got her markers and for some reason I thought that black would be a good color to make the red go away; not thinking about when the teacher saw it, so when my mom got home she had asked for my progress report for the day and I handed her the card with the black light on it and she looked at it and said “What does a black mean? What did you do to get a black light?” I just looked at her and thought about it long and hard and finally said “I don’t know what I did to get a black light.” She just continued to look at the card and then finally just signed the card and put a note at the bottom of the card saying “How did David get a black light and what does that mean?” I don’t remember what happened after that but all I know is that to this day I have not told my mom or dad that I was the one that made the black light!

The Hunter

The mask was hot and slipped slightly on his head.  This equipment had not been made for him.  He had to move.  Staying still was a bad idea.  Instinctively He moved to the next place of cover along the east side.    He was just over six feet tall and he had tucked his brown hair into his helmet as much as he could.

He kept his gun close to his chest and listened.  I got one!  Move left!  Move up!  Cover me!  He felt invisible almost excited as slight movement in an abandoned van caught his eye.   He turned slightly and looked down the barrel of his gun and executed two precise shots through the van window: one to each eye.   He ran again.  

Some old oil drums concealed his body from his pursuers.   Two shots to the head!  Move to the right!  Watch that side!  They were better trained than him.  They had years of hunting, stalking, and winning.  There was no time to be afraid. He got down on his stomach and peeked out from his hiding place.  

Then he saw the flaw.  He had been forgotten.   There they were: the last two enemies.  They were laying down fire at his friend.  This was his moment!  He ran noiselessly and pointed the gun at the first man his body was painted with splotches of green.  Then he rounded the barrier and pointed at their leader.   “Freeze, dirt bag!”  It was all he could think of to say.  He collapsed and threw up his hands and with tearful laughter, he conceded, “I surrender.” The rest walked on to the field.  A young blonde man reached down his hand to the man on the ground and said, “Sorry Gunny, my best friend is awesome!”  He took off his helmet and said, “three out of five guys! I like this game!”  As the sun went down on a great day, he smiled and thought, “I am a beast; I can play paintball with Marines.”

The Show Goes On

The Show Goes On

I think the Song is trying to tell you to be yourself, to get your dreams high and remember where you came from. Meaning it does not matter if you are broke growing up or very well off you can do amazing things when you put your mind to it. Also that you don’t have to get people to like you by changing yourself, others should like you for you and not for whom you are not but by who you really are. I think that the artist composed this song to show that he made it big and he grew up most likely very poor or with not a lot to look forward to. You can have a bad childhood and still do great things in your life.

We Wear the Mask

"WE wear the mask that grins and lies,
It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,—
This debt we pay to human guile;
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,
And mouth with myriad subtleties.
Why should the world be over-wise,
In counting all our tears and sighs? "
How does the poet use literary devices? Why might he/she use these devices?
I think the poet wrote this because he knows what it is like to hide something and have to act like there is nothing wrong with him. He also may have wrote this because he knows that people all the time are trying to cover something up by acting different then they normally do trying to act normal. The feelings that the poet is trying to convey is a sad feeling. I think he succeeded because it makes you think of all the times you have done it trying to hide their feelings from the world. In the Poem the poet used literary devices like, bleeding hearts and a mouth with myriad subtletics. He used these devices to symbolize the ultimate meaning of the poem, and feelings.

A Special Event

 

A special event that I can last think of was PSP Mao (Paintball sports promotions, Mid-Atlantic Open). I was watching the professional team battle it out on a three day long tourney that could be anyone’s win. During the event it was raining and pouring on the first day making it very different for anyone to win. In the beginning the team name “Damage” was unstoppable, they beat every team in the first two days no problem, even beating a team named “Dynasty” which was one of the best teams in the world ever.

Everyone had predicted that Damage would have won, but sadly they did not just missing the finals by one point. They had been eliminated by a new and upcoming team called “Houston Heat”, who went on to win the tournament for the first time this year beating a team called “infamous” who won the last two tournaments before this event. It was a very intense battle between the two teams but the dominate team won!

The Childrens Story

I think that the story was very odd. When it started it was like it was in the middle of the story and I did not know what was going on! I was in the view of the first teacher and wondering why she and the students were scaried, and why the kid "Johnny" was mad at the door. I did not know what was going on!! Then a young woman walked in and told the teacher to go to the office. The young woman was very odd because she let and told the students to do stuff that they  normally would not do, which through the students off. She was being very nice to them and the students did not know why. The new teacher (young woman) told the students that there was no god and to do what the leader was telling them to. When I saw that the first thing that i had said in my mind was that she was a nazis!! I have to go now so thats all!!

Being yourself!!

I think what makes everyone different is that everyone has something that they like to do that is different. Some people like to play baseball, soccer, football, hockey, etc. I like to play paintball and soccer. I have met many people in playing paintball and learned a lot about myself though playing paintball. I have tried to conform to what the world thinks is normal but I have learned not to follow that road, because it is better just to be myself and happy then to be normal and hate my life. I have heard someone say before that is “Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” After I read that I started to think about myself and if I would be happy with be just like the rest of the world and try and be normal or to go off of the normal trail of life and have an exciting life full of joy and just be myself not caring what others thought of me. I know that I will and have lost some of my so called friends by being myself but if they don’t like me like that then I can always find people that like me for being me and not someone else. So I would have to say that NO ONE is the same and there will be all types of people but you just need to be yourself to be happy, and don’t try to be anyone else that you are not.
