"The Cask of Amontillado" Before You Read: Revenge
People seek revenge. People seek revenge because someone else might have done something bad to them. They victim seeks revenge because they want to get even. Some people believe in getting even, or "eye for an eye." In addition, some seek revenge becuase they have been humiliated. As result, they humiliate them back. An example of revenge can be a family member that was killed, and they want to get revenge. Girls and guys might seek revenge after a break up. For example, in the song by Carrie Underwood, the girl destroys her ex-boyfriend's car with a baseball bat. Revenge can tear apart families and cause people to act selfish.

English 9- Period 4 Autobiographical Narrative
Title
This happened all around 7th grade when i was 12 years old. My family got sarbed because I wasn't going to school. When I was in seventh grade, I would pretend to go to school. Instead of walking to the school, I would walk to my friend’s house.
From there, we would go to an abandoned area that had a roof and four walls and a little hole as the door. It was an empty little shanty with many steps. I chose to go skate and kick it with the homies. I would skip school very often without my mom knowing I was even going to school because she was busy working full time to support me and my brother. So we can have a stable environment to live in
A few months later, I got home from skating with my friends and I was still ditching school. As walked in the door, I could see my mom. She was furious. In a yelling voice she lectured me. She was mad at me. She had received a letter in the mail with records of my absences and tardies. She looked at me and said “What The F**k is this why have you been missing so many days of school. As I looked at her just staring I said the truth scared what she was going to say say next and she appreciated it and said if I ever left again i would be grounded for a really long time.
About a month later, we had to go to Montecito High School to a meeting regarding my truancies. In that meeting me and my mom had to sit in a table with a bunch of random people. They asked questions concerning why I wasn't going to school they were blaming my mom. So then I was like no I was ditching school on my own. Then I was like she always woke me up on time to go to school but I just didn't do what I was suppose to do. So after the meeting was done and all over with they gave me and my mom so guidelines saying that had to attend school and they gave me a certain amount of days I could miss. If I had missed more day’s then I should have I would have to go back on a Sarb. So as soon as I went home my mom told me “your bright and I know you can do better your just making dumb mistakes”.
Now I am looking back and I felt bad because it made my mom look bad as a parent. So to be honest my mom is a good parent and she didn't deserve to get what I gave her. So after the meeting I apologized for my actions. Then I was starting to go to school. Over time she was getting proud of me and she said “Even though what you did was wrong I am proud of you for turning yourself around and I love you”.

Academic Language Practice Paragaph 13
Do violent video games contribute to youth violence? Critics say violent video games are INVOLVED in school shootings. At least 97 PERCENT of 12 to 17 year olds play violent video games. They INTERPRET that violent video games may reduce violence by serving as a substitute for rough and tumble play and by providing a safe outlet for aggressive and angry feelings. Politicians want to limit the sell of violent video games to minors because they feel it increases bulling and shootings. I personally do not feel that violent video games make kids violent because it can be something else like abuse, or movies.

Fueds
One feud I am familiar with is the feud between Walkers and Humans.
These two groups of people dislike each other because the walkers are the living dead awaken to eat the living. The groups show that they are in a feud because the walkers are trying to eat the humans.
As a result of the feud the groups will keep fighting till which ever one is terminated first.In opianin the humans are gonna over rule the walkers.
The feud will end when the walkers are all dead.

Veterans Day
I would not enlist in the military because they are pretty much just getting thanked and everything for killing innocent or non innocent people.
They kill people and get treated like heroes. Another reason is i don't think i can just be away from my family like that. Additionally i think the war right now is so point less like we shouldn't even be in a war right now. The military is just pretty much being bullies. So right now i do not plan on going to the marines.
