Political Article

The article I chose was about Trump's wall. It was written by Tal Kopan. He writes that Trump asks government for one billion dollars for only sixty two miles. The article advances with where the wall will be put up and that some of the money will be used to repair fences that are already there. Kopan describes that Trumps sees a large concrete wall around the border. Kopan then goes on to say other's opinions like Homeland Security Secretary, John Kelly. He says that he would like it to stay a fences because it is easier for the security to come in and out. He also thinks that the wall would be a waste of time.

After hearing this article's views, I think that Trump should not build the wall, but improve the fences. The wall would be asking for billions of dollars and would take a long time to build. I read another article a the wall and it said that the fences are mostly working now. I know that that is not true for all places, but it the government improves on the places that need work, it could save a lot of money and time.

What I Have Learned Throught the Year

The past year I have learned to take notes in class. I used to not take notes and only pay attention or look in a book, but I have learned it helps write or type it down. For example, in math, Mrs. Rome gives us a packet with notes that you fill in. When I am not in class or forget something, I can look in the packet. Also, it helps to write things down in a way that you will understand and help you remember.

Another thing I have learned is to do your homework. I know that is common knowledge, but it really helps. Doing homework may take a long time, but it helps you when a test is coming up. If a test is the next day, then you can go back and study your homework, redo it, or make notes on it. Finally, the homework gives you easy points that benefit your grade. At the end of the quarter or semester it could give you the small points you need if you are borderline.

Free Post

Last Friday was St.Patrick's day. For St. Patrick's day I went to False River. I went with my family and cousins. We all tubed and swam in the lake. After we got out the water we went to get snowballs and crawfish. We all sat together and at for hours. It was fun to visit and see everyone. 

The next day was the St.Patrick's Day parade. I was not able to go because I had drivers ed. I had to wake up early to go to the driving place for eight hours. It was exhausting. I was supposed to go both Saturday and Sunday, but we ended up ending early. We took the test at the end of the day and I passed! Then I got ready with my friends for the cotillion dance. It was a fun weekend.

Song

The song "Umbrella" by Rihanna has many poetry terms shown throughout the book. For example I noticed and alliteration in the song. The line "Good girl, gone bad" repeats the g sound three times in the beginning of the words. Another example is when she sings, " when the world has dealt it's cards." This is an example of personification. Personification is when animals, abstract things are referred to as if they are humans. In this case, The world is being referred to as a human because it is dealing cards.

Rihanna uses this poetry to express her devotion for someone. She shows thing when she sings lines like, "we'll never be worlds apart" and "stick it out to the end."  She sings this song in first person revealing that she will always be there for Jay-Z for whatever and through whatever.

Mardi Gras Break

For Mardi Gras break I went to Snowmass, Colorado. I went there with my family and cousins. When we got there we met up with my friends too. One day I went skiing with Sarah, Madisyn Paige, and their sisters. We went up to the half pipe at least twelve times. It was so fun until Sarah's sister, Emma, lost her ski on the lift. We had to sit and wait for fifteen minutes until someone told us that we had to go find it. Then Sarah and I had to ski down in the middle of the blizzard that was going on to find the ski.

Now that the break is almost over school is coming quick. Back to waking up early and piles of homework. Im sad but relieved to go back. I'll get to see my other friends and get back into the routine of things. I think of it as the sooner we go back the sooner the next break.
