Fast food in School opinion

I disagree with fast food in schools. Obesity is becoming a pandemic, and with the contribution of fast food and all its unhealthy nutrients, it only serves to make things worse. In my own opinion, I think they should substitute with healthy, TASTY, things. The things in our own cafeteria are considered healthy, but most the time they are disgusting because most of it is freezer packed and put in a oven. It would be better if the cafeteria ladies were allowed to cook things themselves, instead of the food they are forced to get out of a can andput in the microwave

Caesar's Death

Caesars Death My plan to kill Caesar would be by poison. Back then, poison could not be detected when they checked through the body. Normally a women’s number one killing weapon is poison. It’s fast, merciful, and non violent. I would get a job as a servant and make my way to the kitchen station, and poison his meal. Also with the many other servants that make Caesars meals and such, no one would know who did it, and would have no way to dust for finger prints.

Quote and Speak

The quote relates to the book Speak, because Melinda has no voice and she is silent. She frustrates herself and other people. It says that words and speech is power, but Melinda does not have any of those till towards the end of the book. Many times she tries to speak out, but always wimps out. She is ignored and denied friendship. This may happen in other schools, but in ours I don't see it that much. Here everyone pretty much speaks their own mind. I mean, I'm not going to let someone tell me something insulting or discriminate me.

Speak book Report

Miranda Moody 3-7-13 1st Block Speak The book Speak could mean allot of things. It could mean how things change in High school. It could show how if something bad happens to you, you should always let someone know. It could also show that even though you’ve lost all your friends, you need to hang on to hope. The book mentions symbolism in a part of the book. Though it talks about Nathaniel Hawthorne’s books, I think it also sets symbolism in the book “Speak.” There are several symbols that I think I noticed. One was how she cut herself. It meant that she was trying to escape from reality. Another one was the snow. Like in the story, Melinda mentioned she thought the snow meant silence. I also believe that is what the snow means in this book as well. One more symbol that I noticed in the book was the tree with dead limbs outside of Melinda’s room. It had several dead limbs, but was still alive. In the book, I believe that Melinda was almost dead, emotionally. She was still alive though. She slowly began to grow more comfortable, and speak again. She was earning her friends off. And when the dead limbs are sawed off the tree, it can fight to live again, just like her. What this book means to me, is that no matter what happens to you, you shouldn’t let it get you down. You need to fight for yourself and live everyday to the fullest, because you never know what’s going to happen. It also expresses to me that if something happens to you and it effects other negativitly, you should speak out, so misunderstandings do not happen, and you get blamed and hurt for things that weren’t your fault. One final thing is that you need to always tell your parents things, or it will only get worse. This is what the book Speak meant to me. The story is about a girl who gets raped and calls the cops at a party. She doesn’t tell anyone what happened, and everyone thinks she called the cops because they were drinking. Everyone abandons her and is spiteful towards her. She is alone through out most of the book, and things seem to only to get worse. But soon, she gets into art class where she can express her pain through artwork. She soon begins to start regrowing her confidence and build back up her strength. Around the end of the book, Andy tries to rape her again, but the lacrosse team gets there just in time. The first person she tells is Mr. Freeman that she got raped. This book is about personal growth when you’ve suffered over allot of stuff.

Caged Bird and Melinda

The Caged bird in the poem and Melinda are very similar. They both are screaming to be set free, to scared to try to break out, and aren't able to speak out. They are both quiet and wish for freedom from this almost curse.

Speak

In the book, it finally reveals what happens to Melinda. She was raped and called the cops at a party. She hasn't told anyone so everyone just thinks she called the cops to bust everyone for drinking.

Suicide

I think that the reason most teenagers commit suicide is because the fact that they think they can't go on in life anymore. They think that any more weight on them, and they will be crushed underneath. Even though that's not true, they refuse to look on the better sides of things, like how going through these difficult times will only make you stronger. But I guess the term "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger." Does not apply.

Hegemony

In the book Speak, Mr. Neck does not allow the students to state their true opinion. That has never happened to me before, but I have witnessed it. In the 4th grade, even though the children were small and not very smart, they had a curious imagination and would often be asked their opinion on things. They were considered ridiculous and disregarded.

I express my thoughts mostly by the way I dress. I usually wear jeans, a nice shirt, or a hoodie to school. I also express myself with music. I enjoy playing the guitar and singing and listening to music. It depends on my mood to which song I listen to. If I listen to a sad song, i'm upset, if i'm happy I usually listen to upbeat music. If I feel mellow, I listen to old rock like Journey and the Rolling Stones.

Classmate Interview

Virgil Lamar Ware

I have a dream that one day this nation will be Violence Free.   I have a dream that one day No one will judge anyone else. I have a dream that one day people will get along with everyone.   I have a dream that lower class and higher class will help each other.   I have a dream today.   I have a dream that one day the lower class will stop judging the higher class as “snobs”   I have a dream today.   I have a dream that one day the higher class will stop judging lower class as “poor people”   This is my hope and faith. With this faith we will be able to come together as one.   This will be the day when we all learn to love each other.   And when this happens, when we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"

The Children's March

It started out at the church. We marched to the park, where we sang and danced. The firemen opened the hoses on us, but we did not back down. We no longer feared them. Dozens by dozens, we were arrested. But yet, we still did not feel fear. I sat in the jail house, waiting for freedom. Not only freedom from the jail, but freedom from segregation. 3 days later I was released. Kids just kept coming in and out, never upset though. We still sang and danced.

Freedom Riders

13 people boarded 2 buses to ride to freedom. They would start in Alabama, and finish in Mississippi. The rode for freedom against segregation and racial discrimination. When everyone was trying to beat them up, discourage them, and kill them, they didn't fight back in a violent way. They knew that if they did, it would show that they were no better then them, and they would most likely be arrested and killed.

Civil Rights

The two pictures above are about how it was between black and white people before, and how it is now. The black people and the white police officers fighting represent back then, and the black hand and the white hand shaking represent now.

News letter

Tom Walker

Tom Walker was a very greedy and disgusting man. When his wife died, he did not feel any regret, but relief. He was a cheater who constantly lied and cheated. He made a deal with the devil just so he could become rich. He sacrificed the life God gave him, and joined the devil, even though in the end he would die and go to hell. His first life is just the beginning, and he if he didn't forsake it he could of went to heaven. In the end, when he realized his mistake, he was still greedy. He refused to feed his horses and would not lend anyone any more loans.
