Today, we're taking our final exam on the book, "Animal Farm" in Mr. Winfrey's class. To be completely honest, I didn't read all of the book, but I feel as if I read enough, so I hope that I'll be able to get an 'A' on the test, because I feel that I have worked hard enough and deserve an 'A'. If I don't get an 'A', I'll settle for a 'B'. I don't think the test should be all that hard, anyway, after we've seen the movie on "Animal Farm" and what not.

Senior year's going great for me, because many things start to add up and become clear to me now that I am a senior, like who my true friends are. Right now, I am able to sort out those who are being fake and those who're being real with me, and it's pretty funny, because I'm able to do to others exactly what they've been doing to me this whole time, which is manipulate them. For those who were being rude and cruel behind my back and smiling to my face, I'm able to do the same thing, because I've recently been able to sort out those who're flesh and blood and those who might as well should've been born plastic. Now that I'm able to do this, I actually feel sorry for the fakes, because now it's payback time. My senior year is going out with a bang.
As far as work goes, it's going pretty good. Hopefully, when this next report card comes out, I can get all A's. I was so close to getting all A's the on the last report card, but I had one 'B'.
Roderick:This book was really boring to me so it was really wasn’t fun to read for mer. But I like when major did everything to change what was going on because all of the animals were tired of being treated bad by their owner Mr. Jones, who was a alcoholic and most of the time he forgot to feed them and they were hungry. Old Major had called all the animals to the barn to give a speech. In that speech he was saying that was no need for man or humans above them. He stated that their lives were miserable, laborious, and short. That are given very little but giving much more than they can handle. So they fill it’s time to do something about it well he fill it’s about time they do something about it. One day all of the animals went into the house and they saw beds and all sorts of things, they even found an old table cloth that they used as a flag that they put up every Sunday. Napoleon, squealer, and snowball, they were pigs who hardly did any work they basically was boss and they told the other animals what to do. The cows said that they haven’t been milked for almost a month and that their utters were going to burst, so the pigs started to milk them, when they was done the pigs put the buckets to the side, when they came back all of the milk was gone, come to find out the pigs had used all of it and as they said it was used for the harvest and for the last couple of months that’s what they was saying that it was for the harvest. It was like the pigs were taking over instead of all of them working together and being equal as they say, all animals are equal but some are more equal than others. When Mr. Jones died I would say that’s when things started getting bad. Mr. Jones died in his sleep and for three months the animals started making secret rules and little preparations to carry out the old pigs dying wish of wrestling control of the farm from Mr. Jones. With the two smartest pig named Squealer they form the principles of animalism and other thing to give to the other animals. The rebellion was still going on and boxer split his hoof, it took a long time for it to get well, the animals also started building the windmill, but boxer he didn’t even want to take a day off he wanted to see that windmill finished so he continued to work, but during the evening his hoof would bother him so clover had heal it with herds which she made by chewing on it. To end what I got to say I just don’t think Animals can be treated equal because they are all different they all need different treatment and materal. 500 words

In the novel animal farm an important part in the book was the whole book. I say that the whole book was important because if the book was never published then we wouldn’t no anything about it. The novel animal farm is important because it talks about how the farm owner is nothing but an alcoholic and how the animals are going to take over the farm. The novel animal farm is also important because it tell me about the animal’s life and how they are living after they take over. A part in the book that I think might be important is the seven commandments. I think that the seven commandments are important because it talks about what ever goes up on two legs is an enemy. Which is true? I say that that is true because in an animal’s eye any thing that they see on two legs isn’t their friend and is trying to kill them. Another commandment is what ever goes up on four legs, or has wings is our friend. I also think that isn’t true either because just because you have four legs doesn’t mean that you are their friend because you could be a big animal searching for a little animal trying to get something to eat. The third commandment is no animal shall wear clothes. I think that that isn’t true because some of these animals like these dogs be walking around with balls and breast bigger then the humans and if we have to ware clothes to cover it up then they should too. The fourth commandment is no animal shall sleep in a bed. That is true because what is the point off them sleeping in a bed when they have all of that fur. The fifth commandment is no animal shall drink alcohol. That is also true because why an animal would be drinking for any way. The six commandments are no animal shall kill another animal. That is a lie because you would have to kill one another to survive if there isn’t any food around. The seventh commandment is no animal is equal and that is true. It is true because they all get treated differently in their own little way. I think that the seven commandments were important because it is talking about how an animal shall not do something unless they have a reason or some kind of cause for doing it. The seven commandments were made by the pigs after they learned how to read and write. Since the pigs learned how to write they succeeded in reducing the principles of Animalism to the seven commandments. So to me the seven commandments and the novel it self was important to me. It was because I got to read and understand why they animals took over the farm and came up with the commandments. So that is what I thought about the novel and why I thought that the novel it self and the commandments were important.

Jennifer Buchanan 500 word esThe Speech That Lead To The Rebellion
It all started when Old Major called the animals for a meeting in the barn. He wanted to share with them a strange dream he had the previous night. This dream was like no other dream. Old Major also knew that this dream would be beneficial to the other animals. Everyone was willing to lose an hour of sleep just so that they could hear what Old Major had to say. They knew it had to be something good.
Old Major told the animals about his strange dream, but before that dream he talked about something that he thought was more important. Old Major told the animals that he didn’t think he was going to be with the animals for many mothers longer and he said he wanted to pass some wisdom before he died. It just wouldn’t be right to allow the animals to live their lives not knowing what’s going happen. They will not be prepared for it if they are not first forewarned. Old Major was going to make sure they knew everything.
Old Major first explained to the animals the native of life and that the produce of their labor is stolen by human being. He said that man is only real enemy they have. Old Major said that if the move man from the scene everything will be the way it’s supposed to be. Hunger and overwork will be abolished for ever. He said that man is the only creature that takes without giving back. Old Major also helped them understand that all the things they produce are gone down the throats of the enemies. Its like they are being use for what they have, but still are not appreciated. He told the animals that there is no use in working when it will be over throwned by the human race. Its time for the animals work to be appreciated for their animal’s well-being. Its time for them to win their victory. This mistreatment has gone on long enough.
Old Major was praised after he ended his announcement. A tremendous uproar followed the announcement because the animals were so happy about all the things Old Major had brought to their attention. Old Major told the animals that anything that goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend. He told the animals that they are supposed to have a different ways of doing things unlike human beings. He said that animals should never wear clothes or drink alcohol, or smoke tobacco. I guess Old Major will just have to see if the animals will obey his words. Only if he is alive long enough to see. He told them about the rebellion that is to come soon.
Old Major later told the animals about the strange dream he had the previous night. He had a dream about a time that he knows long ago, many years ago. The tune had come back to his mind so he wanted to share it with the other animals.
The animals begin to like the tune as Old Major continued to sing it. They then begin singing along with him. They were singing so loud that awoke Mr. Jones took his shotgun and shot. All the animals begin running because they were frightened from the loud noise that the shotgun made the animals knew that they were supposed to be in bed, but because of their disobedience they were not.
Some nights after Old Major died in his sleep. His body was then buried at the Orchard. The animals of course were not very happy with this, but at least they know that Old Major had given the animals a completely new outlook o life. They didn’t know when the rebellion would take place, but they knew they had to be prepared. The animals were so pleased with. Old Major teaching that they put it into a system of thought, t which they gave the animalism. That’s when things goy out of hand.say

Essay:
Animal Farm
The story of Animal Farm takes place on what is called the Manor Farm, which is owned by a farmer that goes by the name of Mr. Jones. Old Major is one of the first animals introduced in the book of Animal Farm. Old Major shares a somewhat premonition-like dream with the rest of the animals that refers to the upcoming revolution.

Under Napoleon’s hoof, more animals become rebellious to the new ideas that are brought on to Animal Farm. When the animals show no tolerance for Napoleon’s ways, they are exiled. Some are killed, of course. As the book progresses and finally ends, the pigs in the book begin to resemble to humans a little too much in their ways. At the very end of the book, the animals can not tell the pigs from the humans or the humans from the pigs, and Napoleon is similar to what he swore he hated, humane.

Essay:
Animal Farm
The story of Animal Farm takes place on what is called the Manor Farm, which is owned by a farmer that goes by the name of Mr. Jones. Old Major is one of the first animals introduced in the book of Animal Farm. Old Major shares a somewhat premonition-like dream with the rest of the animals that refers to the upcoming revolution. The animals take into Old Major’s words and adopt him as their beacon of light, along with his dream, which is the dream that, one day (possibly soon) the animals would be free to do as they please and live as they please without being under the supervision of humans and being bound to the shackles of slavery. After Old Major’s speech, the animals begin to sing a song that represents freedom and liberty for all animals alike, not just the ones residing on Manor Farm.
Soon enough, the day of the revolution comes, when the animals, after having taken enough of Jones’ mistreatment toward them and having swallowed their pride for far too long, ride up and run Jones and his wife out of their own farm. After the farm is taken over by the animals, it is then renamed and addressed as Animal Farm, which is a most-fitting title. A list of commandments, named the Seven Commandments (similar to the Ten Commandments), are put into place by the three major pigs on the farm, who’re named Snowball, Squealer and Napoleon. After the Animal Farm government and rules are put into place, the animals on the newly named Animal Farm begin to realize that the working conditions are not in their favor, but the government’s favor. Of course, there is always an excuse for something that should happen to go wrong at the farm, which is why the pig, Squealer, is sent to explain about the working conditions and what not. The animals are always kept in line with, “Surely, you do not want Jones to come back?” This question always leaves the animals on the farm speechless.
When word gets around about the Animal Farm, Jones becomes successful in gathering a group of men in order to stop the revolution of animals against humans. However, Jones fails in stopping the revolution at the Battle of Cowshed, where he is driven away and one of his men are killed. Jones does not return to the Animal Farm after this mishap. Later on in the book, a feud between Snowball and Napoleon becomes apparent. The two believe there is only room for one leader. Napoleon, while Snowball is in the middle of giving a speech, reveals his plan to get rid of Snowball for good. Dogs raid the farm and attack Snowball, driving him out of the farm just as Napoleon planned. With Napoleon as the new leader, the Animal Farm becomes just what most people view the outside world as, a circus, filled with animals that act just like animals.
Under Napoleon’s hoof, more animals become rebellious to the new ideas that are brought on to Animal Farm. When the animals show no tolerance for Napoleon’s ways, they are exiled. Some are killed, of course. As the book progresses and finally ends, the pigs in the book begin to resemble to humans a little too much in their ways. At the very end of the book, the animals can not tell the pigs from the humans or the humans from the pigs, and Napoleon is similar to what he swore he hated, humane.

Democracy
The political orientation of those who favor government by the people or by their elected representatives.
The book associates the animal farm to a democracy. A democracy is the political orientation of those who favor government by the people or by their elected representatives. The animals are unhappy with their owner so the animals decide that they have to make a change. After doing so, everything changes and so does the beliefs of the leaders of the animal farm. The leaders can’t agree on anything their government starts to fall apart. They become rivals of their own beliefs fixated not upon what matters but what benefits themselves. Their intentions of creating a government and system where all animals are equal slowly fall into pieces that crumbled the efforts of all the true believers and hard workers of the animal farm.
The animals are unhappy mainly with their owner who worked them hard and never feed them enough. They were tried of his alcoholic ways and the mistreatment of him. Old major who had a dream decide he wanted to share his dream with his fellow animals in hope of a change. After sharing his thought and aspirations with the other animals he knew a change would transpire between the animals. Days after that the major died; leaving only his dream for inspiration. The moment finally came to handle their owner and put him in his place. They rebelled against their kicking him off the farm and forming their own which would be ran much differently then the humans ran it.
After kicking the owner out of the farm the animals decide to have their own democracy that they would follow. Over joyed at what they had accomplished they began to work. First coming up with rules that were not even sensible. Ever animal was made equal to one another. The first thing that would eventually separate them was the equality between the animals. Even though they agreed that all animals would be equal it was simply impossible to have everyone at the same power of one another. As the democracy started to transform ideas became different. As time past debates became heated. While one leader had ideas of a selfless person who wanted to make the animals to be happy. The other leader who was all for himself. Turning every animal in the animal farm against Snowball. Their democracy much like our own, turning everything that their democracy stood for and went against it. At first the government fought for what they called equality and rebelled against the beliefs of human. Our government is the same way taking the American dream and making it a nightmare for Americans same as the leader of the animal farm did to the animals.
Their government turned up side down with opinions that flared hate sending their democracy and people in rage over a system that was suppose to equal all animals and work them lesser than what the owner had them. Now it was worse having a dictator who was a selfless hearted animal that only cared about himself much like our President.

Preeminent among the pigs were two young boars named snowball in Napoleon who Mr. Jones was breeding up for sale. Napoleon was a large rather fierce looking Berkshire boar. Berkshire on the farm, not much of a talker. Snowball was a more vivacious pig than Napoleon, quicker in speech and more inventive, but was not considered to have the same depth of character.

He became disheartened when he lost money in a lawsuit after that a whole day at a time Mr. Jones would lounge in his Windsor chair in the kitchen, reading the newspapers, drinking, and feeding Moses on crusts of bread soaked in beer.
What I’m going to talk about that I liked about the novel is when the animals came together and got rid of the cruel master they had. They made rules that all animals on the farm had abide by, they were:
· Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy.
· Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend.
· No animal shall wear clothes.
· No animal shall sleep in bed.
· No animal shall drink alcohol.
· No animal shall kill any other animal.
· All animals are equal.
They also said anything that has two legs was an enemy, but if you had four legs or had wings then they were friends. I really liked that part of the book because it showed how a group of animals stuck together in the beginning no matter what went down. They weren’t going to let nobody run them. That’s how me and my friends are. We stick together no matter what. Even if we do disagree on some things and we might get into arguments we always stick with and stick up for one another. It didn’t matter to the animals how big they were, no matter if one was bigger than the other one they didn’t let nobody puck them and that’s how me and my friends never let someone punk us. Now I’m not saying that we can beat any and everybody but we show others what we are about and show others that they think they the best but life and finish yet, they got the rest of their lives to be the best. After awhile things begin to change on the animal farm though. A pig named Napoleon began to run the farm, thinking he was all big and bad. He begin to change all rules on the farm. One rule he changed was “No other animal could kill another animal then he turned around and said no other animal could kill another animal without cause. Another was they had to stop singing Beasts of England.
He thought he was walking around with the dogs and everybody was scared because they didn’t want to get killed by the dogs. To me he was treating them exactly how Mr. Jones treated them because he thought he was the head pig in charge. To me I think he got what he deserved at the end, the animals were dying because they were building stuff for him, they were using all their energy and strength doing things for him, but what did he do in return nothing. When the men came and were killing them, he stayed back in the shadows and watched the other animals get killed, so the other two pigs snowball and squealer decided to make some changes because they were tired of the changes he made, so at the end he got what he deserved and he was killed by the animals. They overthrew him, I think that’s what they should have done, but the fear of dying scared them, so those were one of my favorite parts in the book and the movie.

Danielle McNulty 500 word essay "You will a“You Will Always Need a Leader”
The animals on Manor Farm were tired of getting mistreated by the farmer Mr. Jones that owned the farm. They were not getting enough food to eat and their living conditions were just horrible. One day a horse name Old Major had a dream about the farm and that the animals should take over and have a rebellion against Mr. Jones. He got all the animals together and they had a meeting. Old Major talked about a world for animals that will be about peace and harmony and everyone will be equal.
That was the most important part of the book. You will always need a leader. It is meant for some people to have more authority than others because if it doesn’t work like that everything will go wrong. The animals on the farm thought coming up with the seven commandments will help everyone stay in line and they will not have any problems. They also thought that if everyone put in the same amount of work, everyone will work fine together and that the whole idea of animalism will go well. Even though the animals tried to make it work it was kind of hard for everyone to be completely equal to the next animal. The three pigs Snowball, Squealer, and Napoleon were an obvious example that someone had to be leader. Even though they said that all animals are equal, the three pigs had power over all the animals in the barn because they were very intelligent. Every animal listened to the pigs and agreed with every idea they thought of.
During the time that the animals worked in the field to gather the harvest, the pigs only sat back and supervised the whole entire time. They didn’t do any work because they felt they were the brains of the whole system so they didn’t have to do anything but think for the animals and tell them what to do. The animals ran into a couple of situations that they would get into arguments about different things they plan on doing on the farm but it will always end by them saying that Napoleon is always right.
The animals had a good idea about the rebellion but their biggest mistake was thinking that all the animals on the farm could be equal and they would not have to have a leader. Everything would have worked out right if they would have chosen a different form of government to run the farm with. You must have a leader in everything you are a part of. So, that’s how the animals end up turning against each other at the end because they didn’t have a leader, but they had hidden ones.

Animal Farm
Communism is the abolition of power of people. This is what the animals of the farm trying to do, but were they trying to do this to take over they own. The animals worked hard to abolish all of the rules that the humans had, and tried to make they own rules. That is what Napoleon and Snowball were doing they were trying to start they own republic up. So before all of this happen Old Major told them that he wanted all of the animals to take over what’s theirs, he told them that he will not be alive to see the animals seek future republic for themselves. Therefore, when he did Napoleon and Snowball took over, Squealer was the person who delivers Napoleon ideas and Snowball wrote them out. Then the pigs came up with “Seven Commandments”.
1. No animal shall wear clothes.
2. No animal shall sleep in a bed.
3.No animal shall drink alcohol.
4.No animal shall kill any other animal.
5. All animals are equal.
Before Old Major died, he taught the animals a song he knew that his mother would sing to him. It was called “Beast of England”. When he taught the animals that song, they were over excited. The three pigs had put Old Major’s teachings into a complete system. Moreover, they named it “Animalism”. The animals went through a couple of wars. “Battle of Cowshed and “Battle of the Windmill. Both of the wars were fought for their freedom. Then the pigs decided to have an awards ceremonial for the good fight the animals put up. Then the pigs came up with a flag, which represents the future republic of the animals. It had a horn and a hoof to represents the animals on the farm. Then everything started turning the other way when Snowball came up with the idea for a windmill. Even though the animals change the name of the farm to “Animal Farm” the animal were still going though things that they were not supposed to go though with their four legged friends. Napoleon had lied to the animals about Snowball and told them that he was a threat to the other animals. Napoleon was raising some pups but no one knew why he was raising them until that day the dos chase Snowball out of the farm. Moreover, form that day on none of the animals saw Snowball every again. Those days on along the pigs were in charge. The pigs worked the animals as they were in slavery. Napoleon would disobey the laws and the animals would know that it is wrong but Squealer would tell them that it is in the Commandments and that it is okay to sleep in a bed but it cannot have sheets on it. By some of the animals not knowing how to read they believe it.

I think that when old major died everything changed because all of the animals were tired of being treated bad by their owner Mr. Jones, who was a alcoholic and most of the time he forgot to feed them and they were hungry. One day the animals got tired of him and this very day they were hungry, they broke into the shed and started eating the food, Mr. Jones saw this and he came out the animals ran him out onto the road and closed the gates. The animals were so happy they started planning what they were going to do, they changed the name to animal farm, these animals worked Monday- Saturday and Sunday was their off day. One day all of the animals went into the house and they saw beds and all sorts of things, they even found an old table cloth that they used as a flag that they put up every Sunday. Napoleon, squealer, and snowball, they were pigs who hardly did any work they basically was boss and they told the other animals what to do. The cows said that they haven’t been milked for almost a month and that their utters were going to burst, so the pigs started to milk them, when they was done the pigs put the buckets to the side, when they came back all of the milk was gone, come to find out the pigs had used all of it and as they said it was used for the harvest and for the last couple of months that’s what they was saying that it was for the harvest. It was like the pigs were taking over instead of all of them working together and being equal as they say, all animals are equal but some are more equal than others. In this case these animals weren’t treated equal. Napoleon stole snowball idea and snowball found out and it was a big trouble, the pigs now had the dogs on their side and every time the pigs told the dogs to do something they did it, so napoleon had the dogs chase after snowball and snowball left. Napoleon had taken over and the other animal was still working hard. The rebellion was still going on and boxer split his hoof, it took a long time for it to get well, the animals also started building the windmill, but boxer he didn’t even want to take a day off he wanted to see that windmill finished so he continued to work, but during the evening his hoof would bother him so clover had heal it with herds which she made by chewing on it. They told him that horses’ lungs don’t last forever and boxer didn’t care what was said to him he just wanted to see the windmill finished. When the winter came the food got shorter so they barely had anything to eat. As the years went by the animals died and things started to change for the animals.

Animal Farm
Beginning of the Rebellion
What does rebellion mean? Rebellion is an act or a show of defiance toward an authority or a convention.
In the novel Animal Farm it talks a lot about the rebellion on humans. It came about when one of the animals name old major had had a strange dream on the previous night and wished to communicate it to the other animals. At the meeting all the animals came to join together to hear what old major had to say, which he started off the meeting talking about how they are being treated by the humans. Old major feels that they are slaves to the humans and he wanted it to end.
So he begins to tell them about how good of a life they well have if all the humans was gone. He suggests that they should have a rebellion against the humans and they loved the ideal. So at the end of the meeting he taught them the words of the “Beast of England” and they song the song proudly, but three nights later old major died peacefully in his sleep before the rebellion even began.
That’s when the animals had to become brave and takes other, so the leaders became Snowball, Napoleon, and Squealer. They were the pigs of the farm that seems to be the smartest of them all. So the animals listen to them and before you know it the war was on. They called their government the Animalism and before you know it they chased the Mr. Jones out of the farm right alone with his men.
They successfully passed their task and now they were free from humans. They began to come up with their rules, which were their seven commandments. And the next thing you know Snowball and Napoleon sent out flights of pigeons to deliver the massage to the other animals around the world. All the other animals responds to the rebellion of humans and the battle of the Cowshed was on. The humans were wining at first, but the animal wasn’t going to give up and by the end of the war they won.
So now the animals got what they ever wanted and that was to win the rebellion over the humans, but now it seems is that they are doing more work and eating less. The rebellion over the humans was done, but now they are living worse then they had ever live. All the animals are now working, but the team work is getting a little tense. The pigs are not treating the animals equal. The pigs want everything to themselves and the animals are falling apart. It’s like they are now having a rebellion on each other. Mollie left them for the humans. Snowball and Napoleon are always in debate and Napoleon has chased Snowball away with his dogs.
Boxer is dead now because he was the only cow trying to finish the windmill. So basically they are out of control and the rebellion was a bad idea after all. The animals were a failure to each other and it lead to a sad ending there were no Animal Farm no longer. The rebellion was a sad one on both the human in the animals.

What does rebellion mean? Rebellion is an act or a show of defiance toward an authority or a convention.
In the novel Animal Farm it talks a lot about the rebellion on humans. It came about when one of the animals name old major had had a strange dream on the previous night and wished to communicate it to the other animals. At the meeting all the animals came to join together to hear what old major had to say, which he started off the meeting talking about how they are being treated by the humans. Old major feels that they are slaves to the humans and he wanted it to end.
So he begins to tell them about how good of a life they well have if all the humans was gone. He suggests that they should have a rebellion against the humans and they loved the ideal. So at the end of the meeting he taught them the words of the “Beast of England” and they song the song proudly, but three nights later old major died peacefully in his sleep before the rebellion even began.

When I think of Chicago, I think of the beautiful summers that consist of the taste of Chicago that last almost all of the summer. Parks with swim pools. Kids running everywhere hanging out all night in the summer. Resturants and eating soul food. I think of Chicago's pizza and the chicken that everyone love. When I think of Chicago is style in dressing and the flyiest clothes and sneaker wear ever. I think Chicgao has the best syle in clothes we are trend setters. When I think of Chicago I thinking of all the fun I have had in almost eighteen years.

When I think of Chicago I think of the Taste Of Chicago. I also think of it being the windy city. Chicago I know is a wonderful city to live and I can say that I am proud of my city. I also think of the fireworks that we have every year. I also love this city because this is the city that I was born in. I also think of the Sears Tower. Another thing I think about is the violence that many people face each and everyday. I think about my friends and family because they bring me so much love and joy.

When I think of chicago I think of the the cold weather we get, the different chicago teams we have like the Bears and the Bulls. I also think about downtown, the many different places to see like the Water Tower and the different places you could shop. Chicago is an amazing place to visit, especially if you've never been here.

When you think of Chicago, what comes to mind?
When I think about Chicago, I think about all the big buildings downtown and all the main attractions. I also think about the clubs and how everything function around the city. I think about Navy Pier, The Crown Fountains, The Watertower, and the museums and the fountain downtown. I think about the trains and the airports. I also think about the different parades that goes on in the city. I also think about the crime in some of the communities in the city. The crime rate is very high and needs to be fixed.

BR: When you think of Chicago, what comes to mind?
When I think of Chicago, many things come to mind, such as the gang violence that takes place in Chicago. I have put up with the gang violence for quite a long time and, even though I have tried my absolute best to stray away from any gang related activity, it always seems to find a way to me. In my freshman year, my friends and I were jumped on by 4 or 5 members of a gang. Even though not one of us were gang related, we were still jumped on simply because one of the gang members wanted my jacket.
There's also Downtown Chicago, the better part of Chicago that I love. Each and every single time that I go downtown, there's so much to do and so many things that can occupy my time when I'm there. Downtown, there're various museums, tours that you can schedule, Navy Pier, and so many other things that you can do. I actually considered moving downtown, but it's really noisy and really busy, so I reconsidered.
When I think about Chicago, I think about the last 10 years that I have been in the Englewood area. My time spent in this area would have to be rated as an "okay" in my book. I mean, there's been violence around my area. There have been disturbances and arrests around my area, but it's not gotten to me, really. I mean, there are certain times where I sit back and look at all of this and just think. Other time, however, the drama gets so bad that I find myself on the verge of crying, which is nothing to be ashamed of. Some of the situations that I have seen and witnessed are so depressing that it would be easy for one to find themselves crying at some point.

What do you think of the new system?
I think that the new system is a good idea but also a bad idea. I think that the new system is a good idea because it make students strive to be an "A" student. It is students that do work hard to get an "A". I think that the new system is segragation because you are seperating the "A" students from the other students and that is not right.

What do you think of this new system?
I think the new system thats going on in the classroom is alright. Its a good way for the students that dont do anything do their work and turn it in on time. It is also another way for the good students to keep up with their work and make sure they dont slack. It gives the good students a say so on how things should function in the classroom. So, I think the system is alright and it should stay like that for the rest of the year.
