thinking differently

  People generally act shocked or scared even upset.They act this way because they are scared to step out side the box and do for them selves.The people who act differently then others are the real people who are not scared to be them they do not want to be like everyone else,they want to stand out and be who they are and not who people want them to be.In the movie ''Glory Road''  the coach Don Haskins was one of those people who wanted to step outside the box and he did.He wanted to have the most black people  on his team and he did seven blacks was the most ever on a basketball team.He also was the first to have an all black starting five in a National Championship game.He went way outside of the box people hated him they called him a Nigger lover,trashed his room and players rooms and they also beat his players up when they got the chance to.In the film Don Haskins told one of his black recruits ''I don't see color,I see quick and skill.''He knew what he was getting his self into and he did not care one bit all he wanted to do was play basketball and win doing it.This reminds me of a movie called '' Remember the Titans '' In this film there was a whit coach for the football team for years and years but one day the school decided hire a black coach.When one parent found out about this he took his son off the football team because he didn't want him to be coached by a black football coach.

  It was so important for Don Haskins to think different because he knew that the talent he had before he recruited the black kids were not going to cut it.He knew that he need some type of athleticism to help the team strive for a National Championship.It was also important for him to think different because without him doing so he would have never made history and be one of the greats his basketball team would have never won the Championship without the black people he added to his team.In the film Don Haskins says '' Im starting five black players Two subs '' For the first time in college basketball history he will have an all black starting five in the National Championship and win the game. This reminds me of a movie when they had a first black football coach ever and they went all the way to States and won for the first time in the teams history. 

VALENTINES DAY

   

My opinion is that before you go out with that peerson make sure that you can see your self with that person long term.Most people find a  person they would like to be with just for a qucick second they dont really want to be in the relationship to get to know you they do it to get something else out of you.Others break-up before a holiday so that they wont have to buy them anything because they dont waqnt to waist their money or they realy do not care for that indivisual.Valentines day is a special day,its aday to be with someone you love and care about deeply.Its to be with someone that means the world to you. 

WHO IS ST.VALENTINE & WHY WE CELEBRATE VALENTINES DAY

MLK

    If Dr.King was to walk in my class today he would be proud and then again he will not be proud.He would be proud at the fact  that blacks,whites,and Hispanics are all in one class together without people saying racist remarks towards others.Dr.King said in a speech I've been to the mountain top '' we have some difficult days ahead ''. What this means to me is that he knows that things are going to get worse before they get better. He knows that there is much more work needed to be done. Today's generation doesn't really understand what he and others had to go through for blacks, Hispanics, and women to have equal rights and blacks to be in the same school and restaurants and bathrooms as whites.

    The reason Dr.King would be so proud is that we have a black president,blacks are in the same schools as whites getting the same education,women have equal rights like everyone else they can get any type of jobs.There are female officers,women in the marines,the army,some are women have higher positions then most men. Everything he ever wanted back then has came true not just because of Dr.King but many others as well.He would not be proud because there are black kids out here making these dumb decisions when he fought and died for use to get a better education and to give us an equal chance to do better but they don't want to take advantage of the fact that someone put their life on the line for them and their future.

     He would mostly be upset honestly because even the kids that do come to school everyday they come to school and just clown around and be very nonchalant about being here. They don't take advantage of someone giving them a good education. They don't understand how hard and how long Dr.king and others have fought to get us here in these schools  and these jobs. These opportunity period,he would have a fit if he was to walk into one of these class rooms let alone walk down the street. He would come to the school and see kids walking down the hall way with their pants down to their knees and hear someone saying the ''N'' word every ten seconds.

simile&metaphors

SIMILE : A simile is using the words like or as in a sentence. For example ( shine bright like a diamond.) similes are important in writing because it makes a story more detailed and more interesting to read without using a simile the story would be boring and plain.
METAPHOR : A metaphor is a figure of speech that compares you to something  for example  (your an animal.) Metaphors are important because without it there is no story. there would just be words on a piece of paper.

    SIMILE:
“Friends are like chocolate cake
You can never have too many.
Chocolate cake is like heaven -
Always amazing you with each taste or feeling.
Chocolate cake is like life with so many different pieces.
Chocolate cake is like happiness, you can never get enough of it.”

METAPHORS: 

Good dudes - I know you love me like cooked food
Even though a nigga gotta move like a crook move
We was together on the block since free lunch
We should've been together having Four Seasons brunch
We used to use umbrellas to face the bad weather
So now we travel first class to change the forecast
Never in bunches, just me and you
I loved your point of view cause you held no punches
Still I left you for months on end
It's been months since I checked back in
We're somewhere in a small town, somewhere locking a mall down
Woodgrain, four and change, Armor All'd down
I can understand why you want a divorce now
Though I can't let you know it, pride won't let me show it
Pretend to be heroic, that's just one to grow with
But deep inside a nigga so sick

HYPERBOLE

   Definition of Hyperbole: 
 Hyperbole is an exaggeration to create emphasis.It is often used in poems,for example someone might say im on fire if its like 100 degrees outside.
   Hyperbole is important to writing because it makes stories,poems,letters or what ever seem so much better it makes the story pop out to you because of that one sentence it makes the story seems ten times better than what it really is. 

  

School Fight

    

You can’t hear a pin drop
As all the kids gather around;
They are vultures
Waiting for the corpse
Of the one who loses.
The tall kid…
He swings his fist with his hurricane force.
A torrential spray of blood
Explodes from the smaller boy’s nose
And covers the tiled floor.
The vultures fly away
As the teachers quickly approach.

The tone of this poem is exited but nervous at the same time also curious to see the out come of the situation.         
   The mood that i feel when i read this is curious i want to see who is going to win. 

Mercey 

 Let the suicide doors up

I threw suicides on the tour bus
I threw suicides on the private jet
You know what that mean, I’m fly to death
I step in Def Jam building like I’m the shit
Tell ‘em “Give me fifty million or I’mma quit”
Most rappers taste level ain’t at my waist level
Turn up the bass ’til it’s up in your face level
Don’t do no press but I get the most press, kid
Plus your my bitch, make your bitch look like Precious
Something’ ’bout Mary she gone off that Molly
Now the whole party is melted like Dalí
Now everybody is movin’ they body
Don’t sell me apartment, I move in the lobby
Niggas is loiterin’ just to feel important
You gon see lawyers and niggas in Jordans

Yeah, it’s prime time, my top back, this pimp game hoe
I’m red leather, this cocaine, I’m Rick James hoe
I’m bill droppin’, Ms. Pacman is pill poppin’ ass hoe
I’m poppin’ too, these blue dolphins need two coffins
All she want is some heel money
All she need is some bill money
He take his time, he counts it out
I weighs it up, that’s real money
Check the neck, check the wrist
nd that’s excellenceThem heads turnin’, that’s exorcist
My Audemar like Mardi Gras
That’s Swiss time a
Two door preference
Roof gone George Jefferson
That white frost on that pound cake
So your Duncan Heinz is irrelevant

The tone is excited,energetic,loud and happy.The mood of this song is exiting its to get you pumped up and ready to go.It gets me ready to go do anything especially if I'm playing football i need some music to listen to this song is great for that. 

Behind The Clouds

  ''He tied off his boat off and started to climb the cliff. He knew that no one had lived to tell what was behind the clouds but he still climbed.'' The fact that he knew no one had lived to tell what was behind the clouds it mad him wonder. He was the type of person to do something no one else can do. He loved to stand out and show how tough he is or how brave or athletic he was. This man was determined to reach the top of the cliff and see what was behind the cloud.

  The day before his adventure he went out to get certain supplies that he might need to climb the cliff. He also did his research about the cliff and how long would the climb take him. He even checked on how far have people mad it up the cliff,only 30 people have mad it up the cliff and threw the clouds. Zero have made it back out. He was determined to be the first to make back down that cliff and tell what was behind those clouds,his secrets,his strategies. The people who have made it up the cliff where very athletic and hard working people some have climb cliffs their whole lives that's what they do. 

  Adventure is one of his favorite things.He is an adventurous type of person he loves to be on the move.He wasn't going to let anything stop him from climbing that cliff.The moment of truth was just a day away.He let his family know that he was going on a trip another one of his adventures his sister called it.That night he packed all of his things and made sure that he had gas for his boat.He was ready for the best day of his life told his sister.
  Today is the day he said to him self looking in the mirror.He drove to the docks to set off for his greatest adventure yet.As he arrived to the cliff he took a deep breath and stared at it.He tied his boat to the edge of the cliff and started to climb like he never climb before.He was energetic and excited to see what people were talking about.He said to him self this mountain is a cake walk.He was just moments away from making it to the top of the cliff.
  He makes it to the top.As he walks through the clouds he hears voices.At first he hesitates to go completely threw with this ridiculous idea.But his pride kicks in and he goes on with it.Behind the thick heavy clouds was a beautiful jungle.There was all types of exotic birds,snakes all type of weird animals.Along with those animals were people having the time of their lives.Lounging in a nice tent with people bringing them drinks and food.It was paradise a place where no one would want to leave and that's exactly what happened.This place was so beautiful the people who climbed it never wanted to leave.They were having the best time of their lives.He finally discovered why people never came back alive it was because they never died they just never wanted to leave.He decided that he would do the same and never leave.
