Humans are Different


Authors Note: This is my point of view piece which is focusing on Humans are Different. I describe and retell about how humans are different from robots. It also explains near the end how the robot found out the human body works different.

Humans are Different is about a robot that was supposedly from a different planet than earth, and humans were going extinct. These robots weren’t bad, they just thought different. Since the robots looked a lot like humans, they thought that they worked the same as robots. The robots were wrong. In the story they focused on a specific robot who was an archaeologist. Apparently he went on a field to a different planet. Once the robot reached the planet, it found a human.

They became good friends until the human started to complain about the heat. The robot thought that his thermostat circuits were shot. Obviously humans don’t have thermostat circuits. So the robot stuck a needle in the humans neck and cut him open. The robot just then realized humans are different.

Genre of Music


Authors Note: This is my Creative Piece it's about music and the kind of genre of music I like. It talks about the kind of musical artists I prefer and the ones I don't. But I talk about the musical artists I don't like later on. 



The reason I chose the topic Music is because it can relate to most things on your mind.
For example if I were to think about money, I can relate that to a few songs. The kind of genre of music I like is Hip-Hop/Rap. Some good Musical Artists I like are Tyga, Wiz Khalifa, and Soulja Boy, but I prefer his old songs. I think that each rapper out today has their own style, which I thought that was pretty neat.

Some great examples of different style rappers would be Drake, because he’s not only a rapper, he’s a singer. Another example would be Lil Wayne, because he’s referred to himself quite a few nick names, and he’s been stuck with the names for a while. Another subject in the category rap I’d like to talk about is, rappers writing their lyrics. A rapper that doesn’t write his own lyrics is Lil Wayne, which is pretty disappointing.

A couple rap artists I don’t like is Chief Keef, because in most of his music he mumbles and doesn’t make much sense. Another rap artist I don’t like is Dj Kahled because he’s not a good rapper in general. But to sum this up there is always going to be new rappers, and we’ll all have are opinions.

Changing for the Good


Authors Note: This is my Character Analysis piece. This is about a boy named Roger who did not have a good role model in his life. Roger changed by finding help by this lady that took him under her wing, even after trying to steel her purse.



This story was written by Langston Hughes, Thank You Ma’am is about a boy who grew up hard. He didn’t have a role model in his life. Since he didn't have a Mother or Father, he had no good influence on him. In the story the boy’s name is Roger. Without this good role model in life he would snatch women’s purses. But you can only steal so much until you get caught.

It was a regular day for Roger on the street. Today he plans to snatch another purse for some shoes he’s wanted. Roger ran up behind the women and grabbed her purse then pulled. The strap broke and everything fell out. The women tossed him around.

 After she beat Roger she held him and questioned him. Roger was scared, he asked if she was going to turn him into the police. The lady noticed he was dirty and needed a cleaning. She asked if he’s ate tonight. The boy said “no one’s home.” The lady said “then we’ll eat at my house.”

After they ate Mrs. Bates offered if he would like to rest at her home. Roger was feeling as if he’s found someone to be a good role model for him, and Roger replied “Yes Please.” The next morning Roger wanted to say thank you, but when Mrs. Bated came down she gave him 10 dollars and said go buy yourself those shoes you’ve wanted.

Mrs. Bates opened up the door and Roger walked out. Roger wanted to say thank you, but just then she closed the door. From then on Roger realized that the Mrs. Bates was right and decided to change his life.

Relationship Changes

Author's Note: Finding Nemo is about a father and a son with a bad, untrustworthy relationship. I explain in this conflict resolution piece how it changes from beginning to end.


Finding Nemo is about a father and a son who don’t have a trusting relationship. Marlin, who is Nemo’s father worries about losing Nemo, because his wife followed by his other children died. The main conflict is about how Nemo wants to be independent, but his dad always wants to have him in his sight.

Nemo gets separated from his father. A man with a scuba diving outfit swam down and captured Nemo, he was sent to a Fish store. His Father tried to save him but there was no hope. Later in the Movie Nemo’s Father met this girl named Sydney. They went to save Nemo. In the end of the movie Nemo got flushed down the toilet and returns to his family.

 Marlin still has some trust issues until Sydney got trapped in a net, along with at least 50 other Fish. Nemo said “ I have to save him.” His father grabbed his arm and said “ I’m not losing you this time Nemo.” Nemo said “ you have to trust me.” His father let’s go, then Nemo swam up to the net, Nemo said, “Swim Down.” All the fish swam down and the net broke. In the end Marlin finally trusted Nemo for saving all those fish. There trustful relationship was restored.

Mean to Nice

Author's Note: The Alternate ending describes how I would end this piece. I picked a happy ending to show that anyone can make a change in life.


The boy ran home and quickly jumped on his computer. He looked for a Job. Followed by a better education. Most of his family were surprised to see him working at this Mini Golf place, making around 8 dollars an hour. He told many friends, family, and even strangers his story.
His whole life turned around, because of this Lady. He even made it on the News’s. After a good 2 years, he decided to visit the Lady. When he got to the Lady’s house, he knocked 3 times on the door. When she opened the door the boy said, Thank you.
The reason I choose to explain the alternate ending as I did, is because I knew it would be a happy ending, but maybe for some a sad ending. I really choose this though because I thought it be an interesting to hear people’s reactions.

Florida


Author's Note:This is my Personal Narrative, it focuses on what I did in Florida. It also talks about the Hot humid weather. As well as Jelly Fish season.



I've never been to Florida before, and I’ve never seen waves. This was a really exciting moment for me to finally visit a new state with different atmosphere. It was also my second time being on a plane. The last time I flew on a plane my ears popped. Sadly it happened again.

We stayed in a big hotel right next to a sandy, wavy, dead jelly fish infected beach. Whenever I would jump into the Ocean the waves would literally carry you. I would step on a jelly fish every time the wave pushed me closer to the sand.

On the beach, was a close by restaurant. I got to eat delicious lobster. I honestly would have to say that sea food is my favorite. I stayed at Florida for a good two weeks. We had crispy shrimp, clams, and even hot, steaming, salted, big fish. I also got the best tan of my life.

If you’re looking for a warm relaxing place to stay, then Florida is the place for you. They have some of the best sea food around. But if you go to Florida in Jelly Fish Season, then be careful, and if you’re an indoors person then Florida is definitely not the place for you.

Cause and Effect



Author's Note: I wrote this to show my skill in Cause and Effect. It tells how much I enjoyed this vacation. It also tells how if I didn't go on a vacation how that would turn out.



It was during the summer when my Family and I were going to go to the Wisconsin Dells. We usually go somewhere special every year during summer. I've been to Florida a couple times, and South Carolina. But this was my first time going to the Dells. I was hoping for there to be large water slides, a nice place to tan, and even yummy ice cream.

The cause of why we do this every Summer is so we can enjoy ourselves, and to also spend time together. The reason we go on vacation Is to get away from the colder weather, and to get a break from school and jobs. The effect of going on vacation was fantastic. It had good effect on me because I got to go on water slides, and eat ice cream. Unfortunately I got no tan. My family also got some really cool souvenirs.

If I hadn’t gone on vacation it would have been quite boring, because my Mother would have been at work, and I would be stuck at school doing assignments, and WKCE Testing.
