I'M HAVING THE TIME OF MY LIFE

I'm having the time of my life is what I would like to say, but I'm not really I don't really get a chance to relax for a moment and think about absolute nothing it something that I would like to do. However with practice I start all the homework that I get later at night, but I don't really finish all my homework so then the next day I get more homework and it just keeps piling up which causes more stress for me. I try to catch up on my other work but still slowly fall behind on other works, I just keep getting homework non-stop that how it feels since basically I'm doing homework everyday, so I'm not really having the time of my life.

BAD WORDS

What makes a word bad? Well for me is how the person is using the word and their intentions. Some people cuss but not really for bad intentions for example if you stump your toes on a corner table you just automatically let a cuss word out, but in our generation is something normal to say. Good words help people get together along and have a good relationship and people understand each other, but bad words cause people to fight and bitter with each other, because when you get cuss at you automatically get offend, which doesn't solve the problem it just makes it worse. It appropriate to use euphemism when talking about a sensitive subject or not wanting to hurt someones feelings. It becomes phony when someone doesn't mean it and it becomes confusing when they are being sarcastic.

literature analysis questions #1

The book I chose to read was Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand it about a poet and a soldier who both fall in love with the same woman. However Cyrano (poet) is to scared to tell her he loves her because of his huge nose he is insecure about it and Christian (soldier) is handsome but can't express his feelings towards her. So he ask Cyrano for help and Cyrano  lends him a hand he writes letters for him to the woman(Roxane) and teaches him how to write and talk about poetry and Christian helps him how to look good. They become one person then they are sent to war, but before they leave Christian marry Roxane and she falls in love with his words not from looks. During the war Christian dies but Cyrano still sends letters and finally stops and Roxane is sadly when she finds out that Christian dies. Later she figures out that it was Cyrano that wrote to her so she was in love with Cyrano words, but it too late, because a tragedy strikes and Cyrano dies. The theme of the story is that appearances aren't everything you can't judge someone from the way they look. Probably wakes up late to write his plays and to get his show ready from the book the character is always out late and sleeps in a lot. Probably drank tea, because he was from France and he also maybe exercise and mediate since he probably wouldn't do yoga. He was a man so sounds about right that he would do those things and in the book the character was a poet so like to think and want peace and quiet. There is literary techniques use in the book like personification how he describes his nose like an elephant nose. Also allusion are use how they compare themselves to Greek myth. Also foreshadowing some parts on what will happen. it help me better understand the story and made it fun to read making me enjoy and to keep on reading the story.

Satire Guns are so darn fun

Guns are so darn fun

Dear world

Guns are so fun they help make the world a better place. Having a collection of guns and being able to sell them on the black market making “good” money making a living out of it. Guns should be sold at liquor stores to anyone and might as well throw in a free grenade. Guns don’t cause violence they protect us from violence duhh everybody knows that it common sense. Kids even deserve to own guns to be safe when walking from school. If a professor can own a gun who has a doctoral degree which is the highest degree to be able to teach and accidentally shoot himself it okay, because he has a doctoral degree. Now most serial killers don’t use guns to kill their victim they use knives or other sharp objects that are easily accessible and that basic fact serial killer 101. So shouldn’t we make guns easily accessible to protect us from serial killers. Another example would be war in a war we use guns not swords so we evolve we are more advance. So guns help shape and revolutionize the world that a good thing we benefit from it. On July the Fourth instead of selling fireworks we should have a special on guns. High school students should carry a gun instead of a tablet and carry them in their backpack.

Sincerely, from outer space aliens

P.s we have been watching the human race for a while now and cause some historical events that affect the world and our plan is to convince the humans to buy guns and to destroy themselves and here a little secret we invented guns.

The Modest Proposal meets the satire criteria, because he talking how to make a change and help the people but his resolution don't sound that good, because it sounds like he is not taking it serious. Also that he did "research" to come up with idea's that will benefit the mothers and everyone poor. He calls them "modest" that they are humble that how he comes about them but in reality they sounds absurd.
