Epilogue Here we are, the end; of the book I mean. My life has been a long journey with a lot of things that could be different. It’s hard to tell what the first thing I might change would be. It’s not just myself that I would change, there are some choices that I would also maybe make different. It may be hard to think about how it would affect me in the long term and in the short term. I’m not sure what I would really think would be something I would want to try again. I likely won’t be able to say thing first thing I would want to change is, but there are other things that I would like to talk about. Elementary school there wasn’t really that many issues in the school except for 5th grade, that’s when things get different. There were really …show more content…
I wasn’t at school the next day and I guess that’s when things somehow got out of hand. Then the next day we played tag again, but a little bit more physical contact, nothing out of hand. Later that day while we were in P.E. we had a thing called a “Fun Run” where we just walked/ran around the field. Near the end of the field where the teachers weren’t really watching. There was a group of several of us there with two kids called Damien. They were Damien C. and V., they were the real issues. So me and my friend Luis were walking and they were behind us. Then another kid named Freddie came running up and shoved Damien C, not sure whether by accident or not. Then Damien V. thought it would be funny to piggy back ride Damien C. and then continue to tackle him. After a talk with a teacher an unrelated video was brought in and was deemed the cause of the …show more content…
Let’s just get the the important stuff, at least important for me. I would say there would be three things, but I’ll just keep it to two. They may seem silly and petty, but they mean something to me, not sure how much or really why, but they do. The first one is kind of obvious if you already know me, it is of course, my height. Yes I know, I will grow taller, but it’s just the fact it has been going on throughout the majority, if not my entire life. The other one is of similar issues. It may be also very of little importance. It has to do with my strength, I am trying to make myself stronger but it’s a slower process, which I expected it to
Book keep me interested and made me want to keep reading. I really don’t know if I would read
When reading this book I began to think of how I grew up and how I am a
Secondly, I would probably put my knowledge. It is what I need to be able to understand how the world works today and voice my opinion in the community to benefit myself and teach others. Next on my list, I would put art. It allows an inner, more down-to-earth part of me to be expressed that cannot be done in words. All these things are actions and they define who I am.
This statement actually caught my full attention. I like the way that he started this book off. It gave me a sense that the book was going to be very interesting and real. This is a very catchy statement that made me want to continue reading at my own willing and not to just be continuing so I can finish this assignment. It shows that the narrator is not going to start the book off by giving the reader boring details about his life. Instead, he is going to skip all of the usual details and jump to the real stories about his life that he finds and interesting, and that I also found very interesting.
Tanksley reports about her young life up to this point that “if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn’t change a thing.” Can you use this as a point of departure for
Link (relevancy statement): What if one book had the ability to give you control over your life and your future. What if being different meant you were killed, would you take that risk.
It may start with one simple spark in the darkest of times. When the walls of the world seem as though they are squeezing the life out of you, and you're trapped under the demands and desires of an overwhelming society; when you feel so broken inside, your identity is almost unrecognizable. When this pain feels as if it is too much to bear, it may be that one spark that suddenly lights your world anew and in some cases changes your life forever. I read it over the long hours of one night, unable to put it down, until suddenly the light of the sunrise penetrated my blinds. As I closed the book with a satisfied smile, tears streamed down my face until the title of the book became one big blur.
Despite the book being well written, there are several parts that I would re-write; here I will describe two of them.
Riley tackled the jock, revealing the identity of the other kid; it was Keith. Riley mounted the jock and started wailing on his face, Riley was tall, 6,4 to be exact, which restricted the jock from pushing him off. The jock was screaming and crying, his face was a bloody mess. Riley had an evil frown on his face while unleashing the flurry punches on the guy. Not long after this, teachers started pouring into the crowd and pulling Riley off the jock, I looked around for Keith but couldn't find him no where. The kids left and sat at their tables. Riley and the jock were dragged out of the lunchroom by the teachers, since all of my friends were no where in sight, I decided to skip school. I went to the spot me and the guys always hang out at, It's an abandoned bridge in the woods, we always smoke and drink there, and talk about how much we hate ourselves and how much we hate others. When I got there I encountered Keith, he was wiping blood off his face and having a smoke, cursing under his breath. I walk up to him and make conversation. "Hey man, are you okay? It looked pretty bad out there". "Nah man, I'm fine. The fucker got in my face and started talking major trash, I didn't even say a fucking
To conclude, this is my point of view on the books I have read. These are my reasons I either enjoyed or didn’t enjoy the books I have
One of the kids did not understand how turn on the stove and the stove top. Another kid taught the others how to season the food. Another kid thought that they should try to make something for the teachers in the gym. They worked together to make a cheeseburger and pizza. When they went to get the food out of the stove, on kid told them that they need something to grab it because it would be hot. They took it to the teachers to eat along with a drink. When they brought it to me, they warned me that it was hot, then they waited for me to eat the food. One of the kids told that the food would cool off if I blew on it. After I pretended to eat it, they asked me what I thought of the food. They continued, by asking me if it was too spicy or
A amjor change I had to make was my writing approach. For example, when I wrote my first paper, the steps to writing a paper was changed entirely. I was accustomed to having to write an outline and rough draft before I would write my final draft. Now, I was having to write a sketch and rough draft before I could write my final draft. The sketch was the first attempt to writing the paper, and it gave me a chance to put some ideas on paper, but it was a challenge for me because I like to write me paper entirely and put all my thoughts on paper all at one time. Now, I was having to write a mini paper and having to add to it later on. Therefore, I had to change my writing process to fit this new writing format.
There are so many things that are important to me, but only a few that could greatly affect my life if I didn’t have or accomplish them. The biggest things to me are success, family, and freedom. These are all things that are essential to my life in so many different aspects.
But consider this question for a moment: what is your single biggest regret from the past four years? If you could go back in time and change one thing, what would it be? I asked Ms. Parks to pose this question to two classes full of Seniors and I have here some responses. For those of you who answered, thank you very much for your honest and thoughtfulness.
