Final Writing Project

    Might you remember what grade you might have gotten in your sophomore year in English? Since I think at this moment in life I deserve an A+ because of multiple reasons, some of which being the moments on where I shine brighter than the sun during class discussions, and also when I get my work done and turned in faster than the road runner running at the speed of light on route 66. I plan to convince my teacher Mr. Allam on how I think I deserve an A+
    Some people might say that I overdo things too much and try to "show off" but I might sometimes, but I don't intentionally try to. I just like people to know that when i need to or want to go above and beyond and show that i know more than I actually show. I'll admit, that sometimes I do seem to overdo it, but I am proud when I say that I overdo it, it makes me know that people see me as a leader and a achiever, not a bare minimum. If others don't like that I go overboard with my writing, then that is their problem and definitely not mine.This is my opinion of my own writing and how I feel about other people and their opinions..
    I think I deserve an A+ because of when I shine brighter than the sun itself during class discussions. Some examples of my brightness is when we are doing the gallery walk, and most people don't really go deep into the picture to see what the whole point of the picture is. I go beyond the painting and the surface by figuring out what the author might be hiding from the actual viewer. Painting and/or poetry make riddles that you have to dig deep into the painting or poem to figure out the main point of the drawling/poem. It makes you think, which is one of my more stronger points. Sometimes I might make it too complicated by going too deep, but that is normally on a rare occasion. I also shine by overachieving on different papers that I want to do right now. When you tell us that the paper has to be five paragraphs, I want to go for eight or ten. I like showing that I can be one who can overdo, but can also be a lot descriptive in my writing and make it "touching" to some people. I have learned that doing the bare minimum won't pass, and that sometimes you have to go above and beyond to prove that you know what you are doing and to let other people know that you can do a lot more and go above and beyond with your writing when needed to. This is one reason on why I think that i shine brighter than the sun and deserve an A+
    My other reason on why I think i deserve an A+ is because of myself getting my work done and turned in faster than the road runner running at the speed of light on route 66. I feel that I might be an overachiever with my own work and getting it turned in faster than I normally would. Even though you have a different grading system with the 3P's, it doesn't mean to slack off, it means to work harder and to go above and beyond with your own work. Turn in the work even faster than you normally would; not to show off, but to prove to yourself and your teacher that you won't slack off even when the work you do won't be graded. It is always a good thing to work at anything at your hardest, and not your bare minimum. I used to think working at a minimum was a perfect thing, but now that I am almost close to graduating, I need to work 110% harder and be good at what I know I am good at, and that would have to be writing and reading. This is my other reason on why I think I deserve an A+.
    As you can see, lacking off and not doing your very best can be a very bad thing. It is always to work at your #1 best performance and  not to slow down, even  if you are extremely bored and don't want to work on that thing at that moment. It will keep you knowing that when you graduate, it will always pay off at the end, no matter if you think it is a waste of time. I will always work at my 100% on anything and everything, no matter what. This is why I think I deserve an A+ in my English class of 2011.
   

Outside Reading Book Photostory

My Sonnet Called Techno

Techno

By: Justin Leon

Techno, the rhythm is amazing

The beat is fast,

Close your eyes and see the flames blazing

With strokes that glow from the past

Neon Lights shine with each beat

The flash glows with entertainment,

That gives off a radiance of heat.

It makes you give up your mind as payment

As I pay the price

My soul is dying

I close my eyes and roll the dice

As they land, my heart is sighing

So listen to the words as they play

Live the life; sing the song, smile,

 And ENJOY THE DAY

Outside Reading Book: 4th Quarter Reflections

I wonder If Justin really does have feelings for Ellynor. He seems to like her, and she seems to like him, it is just that she keeps trying to avoid him. Justin keeps trying to get closer to Ellynor and she keeps trying to avoid.. Is Justin obsessed? He said before he hasn’t really “loved” someone, so it might be him trying to show it and not just doing it just to do it. It kind of depends on what Ellynor wants to do with him and try to get out of the Lumanen Covenant. If Justin would stop trying to see Ellynor, then maybe she would want to see him more and leave with him back to the Lirrens.

If I were in Justin’s situation, I would leave Ellynor, and not get into anything that would ruin his abnormal life. He is a Kings Rider and there is no need for him to actually love this girl who is more than likely too young for him anyways. They will always be different and that is how it will be. He needs to know that. Plus if I were in Tayse’s situation, I would have married Senneth, but tried to keep his status as a Kings Rider as well. If he can’t, then where is he going to turn? Where else would he go if he can’t seem to do anything that would help him, or Senneth? He can’t do anything about losing his status if he loses it, so shouldn’t he be trying to find some other type of mercenary job just in case? I would and I think Senneth needs to know that as well.

If Justin keeps trying to see Ellynor, then how is he going to keep seeing Tayse and Senneth and Kirra and Donnal, Even Cammon? He would lose them all and there would be nothing he could do about it until he finally figures out that he can’t have Ellynor, Just like Tayse can’t Have Senneth, even though he did propose. It would hurt their reputation as a Kings Rider. What will the other Riders think of Justin and Tayse? He wouldn’t be getting far if he kept doing what he is doing. Plus even ruining their rep by being two of the beat Riders that they have ever had, would probably kill them all and the King would lose his throne.  I don’t think they would want to see that.

                Although it seems that Donnal loves Kirra, that she doesn’t love him back. It seems to me that Kirra loves Justin, But Justin loves Ellynor. How does that work out? Since Donnal had promised to stay by Kirra’s side even though he had to leave. Plus Donnal actually told Kirra into the face that he loved her. Does she love him as so?  Donnal might be jealous thinking that Kirra loves Justin because she is spending more time with Justin that him. It could be a jealousy factor.  That is what I think it is, but Kirra might just be very good friends with Justin. It even seems like Justin might like Senneth as well even though she is with Tayse at the moment. I won’t know until I get farther into the book.

                I’m not sure on how the book is going to end since there are so many turns and twists that you need a paper and pen to keep up. Since Justin is going to need to learn how to leave Ellynor and for Donnal to get over Kirra and Justin. It will have its own course. It will have to be how he needs it to be and how the author makes it. Sharon Shinn makes the book very interesting and a good way to keep you reading, but she also can make it kind of difficult if you don’t follow the whole book. So let’s see how far it leads and hopefully it will resolve itself. If not, then I expect for there to be some sort of drama.

Concrete Poem( The worst one yet :D )

PLOP! PLOP! PLOP! PLOP!
The ball in my hand.
I throw the ball down the lane.
I'm scared about not getting a strike.
I got 1!

Parent Letter

Dear Sharon and Father:

Have you always wanted something that you know you cannot have without parent consent? Since I have something that I want, but I cannot have that unless you will help me with it. It is indefinitely my grounding. I have changed dramatically and even though I do not show it, I have and I learned that I need to show instead of just trying to tell you. It makes it easier to show it than not to. I know what I did was wrong, and that I might have taken it off the limb, but it will not ever happen again. I did not like it before, nor will I ever try again. I would like my grounding removed for multiple reasons, some of which being that I can prove that I won’t let you down, to also tell you that I have learned my lesson, and that the whole punishment has been extremely effective.

            I know that you would have the way of saying that my grounding is for my own good and that I was the one who caused it, but even if it is, how can it be if I am always suffering all the time? This punishment does help, and it was very effective. I just want my life back. I have learned my lesson and I want it back. I wouldn’t let you down, not for an instant. I would do what you ask me to do, and even do more! I will go up and beyond to ease the stress around the house and do even more than what you two ask me to do. I just want everything back and to actually have 1v1 time with dad. I feel it might help. So let’s work together and finish this punishment once and for all.

            I think my grounding should be removed because I have learned my lesson. I really want everything back. I want everything back for my gaming, And not to be bored. The gaming that I need to finish is Dragon Age, Need for Speed Hot Pursuit, and my football as well. Then I can enjoy life knowing those are finished and not have to worry about them anymore. I could also know that I can enjoy life knowing also that if I were to mess up, I can regroup from that and not make the same mistakes, which I doubt would happen again since I don’t want to lose everything again. I have learned my lesson and feel that I won’t make the same mistake again. This is one of my reasons for wanting my grounding removed.

            My other reason for writing this paper and to ask you about my grounding is that the punishment was effective and feel that you should give me a second try to prove myself.  My kids would want to hear funny stories about when I was a kid and want to have some to tell them when I get older. If I actually do have kids, I want to tell them I had the best parents that anyone else could have. I have always wanted to know that I have amazing parents and right now, it just does not seem like it. It seems like everyone is turning on me and making me seem like the bad person. I could even say I had a amazing childhood. So show me that you care for me and hopefully remove my grounding. Even shortening it would be appreciated.

            So as you can see, I think I put up one heck of an argument, wouldn’t you agree? My reasons took me awhile to come up with since I want to have a good argument. You might agree, but you also might disagree, I am not here to make that decision. That is up to you. So please, remove my grounding, make it shorter, do whatever you can just to relieve me from this torture.

Your Loving Son,

Justin Leon

My Riddle Poem

The Devils plentiful Treasure

 

I’m as black as midnight, but light as day.

I can be seen during the day, but indivisible at night.

People resemble me as a king’s rider; embroidered in silver and black,

Can you guess who thy I?

I strike fear when someone sees me,

Black, devious, and full of killing and deaths.

People scream in panic to get away from my master.

Or else, their gone.

I like watching people scream when they see me.

I even like people showing motionless, covered in blood.

I like doing what my master says, which is of course kill,

But most of all, I like doing what you tell me to do.

May you guess who I might be?

But I warn thee, three tries is all thou shall have.

But then if thou are wrong, it’s your life that shall be mine.
