Dragons Den: Colors

A color that represents me is blue. I am similar to this color because I am a chill person and I am also a trustworthy person. I looked up the meaning of the color blue and I got that “Blue is seen as trustworthy, dependable and committed.” I also looked up that “Blue symbolism associates blue with freedom, strength and new beginnings. Blue skies are emblematic of optimism and better opportunities. Blue is the color of loyalty and faith. Blue is power. Blue is also the color of protection. Blue symbolism is nearly universal in meaning.” If you are around me a lot, you will see this color in my personality.

"Contents of the Dead Man's Pocket" Before You Read: Paralyzed by Fear

I have always been scared of clowns. Every time I see a clown I get a weird scared feeling and I want to cry. My brother knows how I feel about clowns, and I know how to scare him. One time I scared my brother while him was on his lap top in his room it was during October, he got really mad and told me he was going to get me back. On Halloween, I was at my cousin’s party and everything was going fine. Then when I was walking to the car, a clown popped up and grabbed me. He had a knife in his hand and was acting like he was about to kill me. I got so scared, I started to cry and I felt as if I was about to die. In the end,  my brother was laughing at me for about a month and I am still scared of clowns.

Plot: Movie Plot Summary Paragraph

In the movie “Despicable Me,” the characters are Gru, the three little girls Margo, Edith, and Agnes and Vector. The movie starts in Egypt when they find out that the pyramid has been stolen and replaced with a fake one. Gru is a super-villain, working in his home that has an underground lair where he and his partner, Dr. Nefario, and thousands of short yellow minions plan their deeds. Gru always wanted to go to the moon since he was a little boy, so he had a plan to steal the moon. Gru had to steal a shrink ray first in order to complete his plan but once he got the ray, another new young villain named Vector stole it from him. Next, he had a plan to adopt three little girls that would  sell cookies so that he can get into Vector’s house. He adopted Margo, Edith, and Agnes. Gru then got the shrink ray back and his plan worked, but during the whole plan, he grew attached to the three girls and didn’t want to give them back for adoption like Dr. Nefario wanted him to. The three little girls had a ballet residual on the day that Gru had planned to steal the moon and Gru had pinky promised the girls that he would go. Once Gru had the moon in his hands, he tried to make it to the residual, but it was too late because vector had taken the girls and wanted to trade the girls for the moon. The climax was when Gru had stolen the moon and returned it and also kept Margo, Edith, and Agnes. At the conclusion of the movie, the three little girls have their own residual for Gru in the lair and Gru finally makes his mom proud.

First Day of School 2011

My first day of school was alright. At first I was nervous about who was in my classes and who my teachers were going to be. My first period class is English with Ms. Priester; class went by fast and easy. Second period class I have PE, I am glad that I have this class early because of the weather and so that I can get it out of the way.  Third period, I have Spanish 2, It is easy for me, Beedle is a great teacher and I like all my classmates. This year I ended up having second lunch, was confusing at first but I get it now. My fourth period class is Biology with Ms. Davis; I had her last year so I know how she works in class and I like my classmates in that class too. For fifth period, I have World History, so far it is not so fun, but then again I have never liked history. Then for my last period I have Geometry with Mr. Fenick; it is pretty easy so far but he talks a lot. At the end of the day, I was happy with all of my classes and I felt good about all of them too.
