Guitar class :)

In my guitar class we're learning a new song called "Barcelona Nights" and it gets stuck in my head all day. It makes me wish I had a guitar of my own to play outside of my guitar class. On my way to Dr. Prestons class I was clapping the beat of the song the entire time.

TEAM VOCAB

The citizens of america feel aggravated about this years presidential election and they see their hope dissolving. Americans feel that their earnest work will be for nothing. It makes me sad that no one has attempted to illuminate us when it comes to politics. peoples breaking point is getting to the size of a capillary. Trump has a proboscis. Donald Trump accuses Hilary of not being a good candidate. Donald Trump should be suspended from being a candidate. The debate has hypnotized us into thinking that Donald and Hilary could be president. I think this debate is venomous the candidates aren't very stolid.

RESPECT MY AUTHORITY?

I only know a few authority figures that support me being myself because they care about me and of course other students. But a lot of authority figures don't allow me to be myself because they want everything done there way. If you don't do it there way its wrong that just doesn't work for me they don't allow me to be ME by making me do things like THEM.

Sometimes my mind....

Sometimes I  wonder why substitute teachers come into someone else class and act like they own the place. I'm still going to respect their  authority and not act out or anything. I just get a little pissed when they are so rude. In fourth grade I remember having a sub that wouldn't  even call the students by there name she would call us by our shirt colors " aye stripes calm down". If there are any substitute teachers reading this (I doubt there is) would you care to share your thoughts in a comment below. (The substitute that we have for our class right now won't even let us share. -_-)

Kevin is into robots and science fiction and Maxwell is a blank slate.

The Pedestrian first impression

I from a city where a lot of people  walk so you can walk down the street and see 2-3 people, you see children with there mothers around all the time but in The Pedestrian there is no one. Is the future going to be like that?

Ancient Stories

The text in this story is very similar but there are differences. Most people in everyday conversation use a lot of slang this story is very 'formal' in comparison.
I don't think it's important to retell the story word for word aslong as the moral/message of the story gets through to the reader. Like in the tortise and the hare I've heard that the hare goes to sleep because he's ahead of the tortise I've also heard that he stops to eat carrots but the moral of the story get through either way. Depending on how and who retold the story it could get better or worse a really bad story teller can ruin the story where as an amazing story trailer can enhance the story and make it more interesting.
