well i think the decision that jamel made was smart , and i know how hard is must have been knowing that all your other friends are doing it and that if you dont youre pretty sure they'll get mad , so it must have been pretty hard for him to reject it . and especially with everything they said if he didnt take it he would be a herb . so yea i think the decision he made was right and yes it must have been pretty hard for him to say "no" ! .
i have also once been pressured to do something because of friends (sometimes even family ) which is to do graffiti . i had been pressured several times in school and home . i denied it at school and home the reason i did was because i thought of my family and if i got caught all i would be putting them through . how much it would hurt my mom and stress her out to have another kid getting in trouble (like the 18 year old wasn't enough )
and sometimes these kids who are doing it , want other people to join them because it makes them feel stronger , and then they also get compliments like "your not a wuss liek him or her " and it hypes that person up . and they might not accept people who are diffrent who say no because i guess they look at them with hate like they messed up there life but this other person is still perfectly fine

as a pet guardian what are my responsibilities
to be a responsible pet owner you must be able to 1 to make sure she has fresh food and water every single day 2 whenever she is sick i must immediately take him or her to the vet , or whenever she needs her shots . and i must also regularly give her , her own exercize by playing with her daily and walking her often , so she stays healthy .
and one way a person can help stop overpopulation of homless dogs is by one taking care of there dog , so that they dont have to become homless , and also to make sure (if you want ) to spay your dog , so it doesnt have more puppies which would need more homes . an average dog if pregnant van u believe ! can have up to six puppies! whoa i'd go crazy trying to find homes for at least two but six! so yea you get the point its crazy so make sure you make the right decisions for YOU and your dog [= .

a typical day without my sense of sight
i wake up , i can smell the fresh sent of a morning day after it rains , i can feel the softness of my cat purring and laying beside me ,and i can hear the sound of the birds chirping near my window, and as i speak to myself i realize , one thing's missing i can't see the birds chirping , i can't see the beautiful morning with wet flowers from the rain and worst of all i cant see my beautiful cat , the one i've had since i was really young . I'm sad , its been 4 years since i lost my sight i was in a accident when i lost it .

my ela story
Evelyn Bourdier November 12,08
Ela I.s. 188
my fictional character
by: Evelyn Bourdier
“Beep, beep, beep” “ugh, im up “ I say to my alarm clock , as I reach over and press the snooze button. “Hmm lets see” I say to myself , “my clothes are ready and so is my book-bag” , I have to be prepared so I can get to school right on time to show im good enough to get accepted into Harvard “ , I get lost in the idea of getting accepted into Harvard, being away from all the drama at home ...... My alarm clock goes off again which brings me back to reality . I get dressed and am in my car in less then 10 minutes. Off to school I go.
as I walk to class I spot Eric (he and I have been best friends since kindergarten ) . But instead of him being with his friends he’s with Hollie ( I have also known her since kindergarten , the only difference is , were not best friends , not even a tad bit close to that idea) I smile at Eric then into class I go . Mr. H pulls me aside to tell me that he’s glad im at my peak point , and that he’s pretty sure im going to make it into Harvard . I quickly take me seat and copy the do now .
As im on my way into my car I spot my mom , she’s drunk I can so tell
as I approach her hopping she’ll allow me to drive her home so nothing will happen I can automatically smell the beer , and liquor
. I tell her to get into the car she does , no problems .......yet. When we get home I bring up her abuse to alcohol . “well, well , well is there a problem with that?” she snaps back . “yes ! There is you don’t even remember Tommy and he’s your son , last night you thought he was a kid who broke into the apartment ma ! “ I yell back . I look at her I can see the anger and coldness in her eye’s “what ever “ she says walking away . I go to my room .
As I sit on my bed and the thought keeps coming back to me “why am I still here putting up with all this drama?” I take a pillow and cover my face , I let out a little scream . My dad is now at my door “can I come in ?” he ask’s me “sure, “ I say “hey sweetie, are you ok ?” I just shrug “well,” he says “ I just want you to know that no matter what happens , I will always belive in you but you have to belive in yourself to hun , do not let all of this stop you from for filling your dream “ . I look up at him and smile “thanks pop , I think right now you’re the only one who believes in me “ he gently kisses my forehead “good night sweetie “ he says while walking out my room.
As I walk to school the next day ( mom took my car... again ) Eric pulls me aside .” hey , haven’t talked to you an a while “ I can feel a smile cross mt face “mhmm , I have been busy “ he smiles , “we all have “ . I can see Hollie she looks pretty jealous “ I laugh silently to myself “ ( I got her jealous ) “well I go to go “ I say to him “sorry “ , he sighs “it’s fine ill talk to you later “. As I walk away I can hear Hollie say to Eric “why do you talk to that thing “ . “ugh” I say to myself while going to class .
When lunch comes I pick a spot away from every one else . When I suddenly see Eric approach me . “so you’re stalking me now “ I say with a flirtatious tone . “you sure im the one stalking “ he says back with a laugh , and a smile to die for . I motion him to sit with me . As I look around I realize this is the perfect time to talk to Eric just one on one . “so....” I say “what’s up” he looks at me “it’s weird he says but....this year I wannabe with you more “ he says , I think I am blushing but I cant tell im to busy trying to realize what to say . But before I can , he kisses me then walks away . I feel like im melting but in a good way . I smile to myself .
on my way inside the house , I realize the mails there I quickly look through it and there it is , my heart skips a beat the letter from Harvard I close the door then run to my room . As I open the letter I whisper almost a thousand times to myself saying “please say yes , please say yes “ when I open the letter fully I feel like crying I GOT ACCEPTED , I jump up and down with joy , and im pretty sure I screamed the I got accepted part cause 5 minutes later my dad runs in my room with the biggest smile on his face. “ that’s my girl “ he says which follows with a hug. I can feel the tears of jot stream down my face . “ha” to every one he said I wouldn’t be able to .

my daily life as an african goldminer
I'm tired , didn't get much sleep last night ....But now I'm up early to start all over again . in and out of holes looking for priceless rocks and tiny bits of gold. Im using mercury and a lot of digging and traveling. I'm not like other little boys and girls unlike you guys i cant play or have regular meals with my family. and to tell you something I'm scared that one day i might not make it out of one of those holes .. or the mercury might start giving me symptoms i've heard about these symptoms , there not good at all . like people losing thee sight slowly , or dizziness . im hopping one day and can run away from all of this .

supersize me #2
#1- i think that consumers who eat at McDonalds shouldn’t be able to sue McDonalds because they’re the ones who choose to eat there. if they knew better than they wouldnt have ate there .
#2- i think that mccdonalds not only bribes children with their own parks but also with the toys . which is wrong cause every body knows that kids will go anywhere were there are toys and its not like they wont find out cause they make comercials to get people to now.
#3-i think that its kind of dangerous to be giving food to mccdonalds to children cause it is like giving them cigaretts because if they keep eating and keep going on like smoking if u keep doing it soon enough it’ll catch on to you and you’ll end up with diabities or die .

supersize me #1
#1- I visit fast food restaurants about once every week. And almost every time i go to a fast food restaurant i do think about what im eating and if its healthy . i think about this because of my mom she worries about what every one eats and of its healthy . and also because i know that the food im eating is not really healthy at all.
#2- I think Morgan might be getting all these check-ups because he wants to know how he is know and then when he comes back after the thirty days he can tell ow much of difference just thirty days can do to you . And Im guessing morgan will become unfit and his cholesterol will go real high . And i don’t think hell be in perfect health or in perfect shape because of all the fats and oils in the food .
#3 -i think that it is sad that theres even a McDonalds in a hospital because what if some ones in the hospital for diabeties and thy get hungry and all there is McDonalds so that just can make them worst .

about advertising
Do you ever think why children always want the top new thing or the stuff they saw on t.v well that is because of the secrets of advertising . the people who actually make these comercials make sure to add super cool things to attract the children like maybe adding a cool name or saying that even a superstar uses it or a really popular celebrity . so this makes the kids want it even more then before . Another thing is the special affects maybe like fire around the toy or thing to hipe it up and other stuff like that and these are some of the secrets to advertising .
is our cafateria food healthy
well i was thinking about supersize me chapters 19-22 and i was thinking how our schools lunch is not so healthy yeah it may have a salad bar but if u think of it how many of the children in this school actually take their time to go and check it out . so really our cafeteria is no different then the one on supersize me . and also i thought what do i eat for lunch most of the stuff i eat is not healthy and all the foods contain oil . And i think i would like healthy food in our cafeteria like … shrimp or salads and more grilled stuff instead of fried .
SCARECROW
Theres this teacher. And he looks exactly like a scarecrow.Hes tall and scary looking . And instead of keeping the crows away he keeps the children away . with his scary looking self .and his weird face .

now i know how bad myspace can be
Today i read an article about a girl who killed her self because of a problem she had on myspace . This problem was that the girl like kind of developed a relationship with a person she thought was a really nice guy who ended up being her friends mother . Her and the guy became close friends hed tell her nice stuff but then one day he called her like a snob and other mean things so the girl got real depressed cause of all that he suddenly said and hung herself in her closet . And all along this suppose to be boy was really her friends mom. And know they are trying to arrest the person on myspace but i would say not to because he didnt actually kill her he just said a couple of cruel words so he shouldnt be put in jail cause he really didnt do anything .
