R&B or HIp Hop

Most people dont even listen to r&b anymore only when their in the mode. All the young generation do is listen to drake gucci or wayne. You never hear any jamie foxx alicia keys or eric bado. The kids these days more than likely dont know about luther or marivn or even ray charles. They dont know that these where the people who paid the road for this rap that they listen to. Me personally would choose r&b over rap any day because some rappers that just came out dont know what to rap about. All they do is rap about money car clothes and gurls and that's even a song. Now dont get me wrong some of the new song are fun to dance to or just bob your head to but you get tired or the song being about the sam old thing. It get very annoying having to hear the same thing reaptedly over and over again. Most kids dont know what real music even the new r&b is all about bumpin and grindin. Dont get me wrong the beats are nice to slow dance to or do something else to but its lost its meaning. Songs back in the day told stoies about their lives or what going on around them but song s lost their meaning now a days. Most people say that i listen to the same thing they do and dance to it and everything. I do i'm just saying songs have lost their touch since back in the day. It's just that since the times have changed the r&b artitst are trying to keep up instead of having their song mean something they just make something so that young kids can shake their but to and buy. There's a few r&b artist who have still kept their touch and are writing songs with meaning but in due time they will change. I also think that hip hp artist should talk about something else instead of the gang that there in and who they gone get its get tiring. I think that more rappers should rap like t.i. or my fav Jay Z. He has a point to all his songs and he knows how to rap because he respects all of the older rappers who pave the way for him. That's what rappers these days don't have respect for the people who brought them into the world. They just come into the rap game thinking they are the stuff when they don't know a single thing they are doing. All rappers care about is getting their next song to attract a certain group and get them to buy it and it works. They can make the pointless song and the song just just needs to have the right beats and some swearing and something about a gang and BAM you got a hit rright there. Because most teens are gang baggin rite there and a part of it reflects on the rappers they look up to. Just like Gucci his song big broke records he's talking about killing someone. Which is a bad influence on young adults but just because it got some nice beats and some lyrics about killing most young male teen are going to like it and him. Which makes no sense to me i guess that's how world works some time. Jamie Foxx latest cd that just came out was great his somg had some great beats and his songs had a meaning every one of them had a meaning. Jamie Foxx songs usually are for an older crowd. Because he talks about what grown folks do but they are still good songs. What is up with people remixin slow r&b songs and not making any sense at all. They just are there because they couldn't male their own or their just desparate for a hit. Either way it goes people just need to stick to their own songs and stop trying to remix other peoples. All in all i would pick r&b over rap any day don't get me wrong i listen to rap but i just like a nice slow song after a long day of school and stress it helps me calm down and realxes me.

The Top Five NFL Teams of All Time

The Top Five NFL Teams of All Time

1985 Chicago Bears
The game scores in the ’85 playoffs tell the story; 21-0 over the Giants, 24-0 over the Rams and the 46-10 destroying of the Patriots in the Super Bowl. And that was after outscoring their opponents an unbelievable 456 to 198 in the regular season. The best defense ever and they won the SUPER BOWL unlike the Patriots.
1979 Pittsburgh Steelers 4 Superbowl wins in one Decade...Sent 14 NFL Players to the NFL Pro Bowl, and a defensive unit comparable only to the 85’ bears. One the best teams of all time.
2007 New England Patriots
The perfect undefeated season, people thought couldn’t be defeated. The team ends up losing to the giants in the Superbowl; just a breakdown by the team; most shocking upset in the history of the Superbowl.
1972 Miami Dolphins
Only team in the National Football League history to have a perfect season and win the Super Bowl. Led by Coach Don Shula
1989 San Francisco 49ers
Could have become the most talented team of all time; imagine if the owner kept jimmy Johnson. The team could have won more titles; won Three super bowls in four years completely unbelievable.

Article On: Chicago’s Youth:




This article talks about all of the violence that Chicago teens are facing just traveling to and from school daily with the gangs and violent crimes happing daily. Last year our murder rate was at an all time high we topped New York and even California by doubling them. Most of these killings were teens and they were all people of color. Our city elected officials need to do something for out city so that we can feel safe just traveling to and from school again people are afraid of the gang violence, stray bullets, and even just being singled out for no reason. We have to work together so that our teens don’t become statistics and stop all of the young people whose lives are ending at 15 and 16. This is a scary site.

Home coming! Home coming! Home coming! Home coming was what we call juking.home coming was juking because it was so many people there. it was the right type of music and everything because usually when I go to home comings the music isn’t very right. the music at our home coming was jukin.everybody was dancing and having fun with their friends. for homecoming I had to do a lot of things. at first I had to decorate the gym and that took like two hours to do then me and my friend had went to go try two find us something to where to home coming. I had no luck finding what to wear lucky I had an out fit in my closet to wear. I made it homecoming like at 830.when I went inside the gym I looked around and notice that we really did a good job decorating the gym. last but not least my song came on and I was dancing until the dance was over

Lakers Or Celtics....Upcoming season for the titans..

The Lakers are still the best team in the NBA,not only have they kept theyre 2008-2009 championship team,they have upgraded at the small foward postion with the aquisition of Ron Artest. The Celtics are also pretty good with adding Allstar Raheed Wallace and Getting some depth on the bench. But the celtics lost a key player in Leon Powe, and Ray Allen, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett are ageing by the years. With that being said the edge would have to go to the Lakers, Theyre younger, The defending champs, And they have the best player in the game with Kobe Bryant. They also have one of the most versitle players in Lamar Odom. They also have one of the best defender in the league with the controversal,but worth it, Ron Artest. The Lakers are the team to beat.

The Uplift Titans are going to have high expectations coming into the 2009-2010 season. With the load of talent this team has, they expect to win the red north and contend in city and state playoffs. After winnig a regional championship The Uplift Titans are hungry and they are training hard to be the best they can be. When everybody is on the same page, the titans are very hard to beat. Uplift is a team of the present and also a team of the future with a ton of 2010 and 2011 talent on both boys and girls rosters. The Uplift girls varsity a reigning conferance champions. Lookout for uplift now and later.

Today’s Music

Today’s Music has been extremely unreasonable with the lyrics. Most of the music has been addressing sex, money, drugs, and focused on your ego. Music is focused on how you should your life-style. One quick question WHO DETERMINES HOW AN INDIVIDUAL SHOULD LIVE? My response would be no one, not Halle Berry, Lil’ Wayne or Beyonce. Now who in their right mind would sing music that states “you been wet but I can get you wetter.” Now how degrading is that? WHAT IF THAT WAS YOUR MOTHER, GRANDMA, SISTER, AUNT, OR COUSIN? HOW WOULD YOU FEEL? I know most of you would want to ring out that persons neck. That’s your moms he’s talking about. Are you going to let him do that? BUT THAT’S THE MUSIC YOU LISTEN TO, THE MUSIC YOU SING, THE MUSIC YOU HAVE BLASTING IN YOUR ROOM. I know all music isn’t bad or degrading people, but come on let’s be real. IT’S NOT THAT BEST THING TO DO.



The beginning of being a Senior!


I talk to most Seniors, majority seemed to be very well interested and looking forward to this year. Where it’s happening at? Uplift Community High School. Why is it happening? The event that’s taking place is the CLASS OF 2010 MOVING TO THE BIG STEP WHICH IS COLLEGE! I really want to encourage all the seniors to come out and represent their class of 2010! If you’re a senior its just in your blood. You were meant to come out and kick it with us.

Chemistry

What’s wrong with Ms. Phillips? Does she have a life? I don’t think so. Ms. Phillips does way too much. She gives way too much work now for her classes. Especially her honors class. She makes it seem like her honors class is an AP class. She needs to learn the difference. When we do your lab projects she over do everything. She acts like we are scientists with the lab reports. She wants us to be way too detailed. And when we getting our materials she be wanting us to use goggles for everything. We don’t get to take them off until all of our stuff is put away. If we can to class RIGHT when the bell ring. We gone be late because we not in our seats which is crazy and unnecessary. Ms. Phillips needs to realize that we are students in her old college class and that we are still High School and needs to keep it that way

animals get around

ANIMALS GET AROUND

The pitbull many people don’t know how the pitbull got created or how its mean characteristics are mean, bad , strong, and stubborn. The pitbull came from two different dog an American bull master and a bull terrier when this dog both breed the pitbull is created. The is a mutt intel you get two mutts to recreate a full bread and the full bread looks more of a new dog which is now days the common pit. But in the early 1900s when they had horse racing the pitbull was used for protecting farms and horses from any mountain lions or wolfs. But at the same time land owners use to make little ditches were they fougth the dogs for money. This is why one of the reasons why pitbulls are so mean and will turn on you the master. Another reason is because the bull terrier is a very short little stubborn dog that always wants its way. The pitbull shares the same eyes and nose as this dog but pitbulls have big fat heads because the bull master is a veary huge dog and was use for labor purposes. Today is hard to find a full breed pitbull because people like to make their own breeds.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta

On the Real Housewives of Atlanta. Kandi (former member of Escape) she not married. But she was planning on getting married so she was engaged to a man named Aj. He had 6 kids and 4 different baby mamas. He was also married before. Kandi’s mother did not like Aj, because she thought that he was not fit nor the right person for her daughter. The main reasons were because he had many kids and thought that he was after Kandi’s money. Not too long ago Aj got killed outside of a night club. He was beaten to death. It was said that he owned the club. Of course this was tragic to Kandi because she fought for her and Aj’s relationship. All she wants was for her mother to accept him. But then he gets killed. When Aj got killed the show was not on air. It wasn’t really said on how Kandi felt about the situation but you can just picture how she felt. I see the best to the ones who was close to Aj.

Have you ever thought of School as Unfair?

Have you ever thought of school as unfair? Well sometimes school can be unfair, you know those days when you got so many things due on the same day, or maybe you got a test in every class period. Have you ever worked so hard on a paper or something but wasn’t able to type it because you don’t have a computer or may be your computer doesn’t work and you can’t turn it in, then on top of doing it all you don’t even get credit for your hard work. I think I have a solution and it has really worked out for me, all you have to do is tell your teachers in advance about other test you have to take on that day and they will help even if they have to make the test on the next day just to fit it for your personal needs

OPINIONS

My opinions about spirit week is that it was okay. I think we should’ve had better days like pajama day, tacky day, and more days like this. Instead of dull days like dress professional day. Most of the students agreed that these days were boring and want to stick to the normal Uplift traditions and have the regular spirit like we had the last two years.

Jeff Badu's Article and Editorial

Editorial-The Unneccesaries of the U.S.
If I had the opportunity to change somethings in the world, I would change unneccesary classes and the world's economic system. I would change unneccesary classes because I feel that students should be abole to go straight to their major with classes related to their major. For example, I feel that since I want to be an accountant, I should not have to take band or art because it has nothing to do with accounting. I would change the economic system and the way money is distrubuted because most of the money goes more into wars than education. More than four times the money goes into war than education and I feel that it is no fair. Many is the root of all evil and the U.S. is at the bottom. Many countries are poor because of the U.S. and the U.S. needs to stop spending money on unneccesary things.

Article-Boston Celtics
The Boston Celtics won their preseason game on September 18th 2009 against the Toronto Raptors. The leading scorer was Kevin Garnett who had 21 points followed by Ray Allen who had 20 points. The final score was 101-82. So far, the Boston Celtics are 5 and 2 and they are heading into the regular season against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Boston Celtics are ranked the best team in the eastern conference according to analysists. The Boston Celtics are prepared to have a great year because their best player is coming back off of offseason surgery and they had great additions this offseason. Some of their offseason additions were Rasheed Wallace and Marqius Daniels.

MySchoolYear

My school year was good when it first started off and now it the worst school year I have hade ever in my life. I come to school to learn and having relationships is no problem to me into this year. There is a somebody and they is really driving me crazy and I really don’t know what to do about her because they won’t one thing but they have a strange way of showing like they would lead me on and then later it would be totally different because I understand because right now they are in a relationship and I don’t wont to end it but I think the best way for me to go about it for me just to go about is just for me to leave it alone because its causing a lot of problem because peoples coming back telling me different things and they is also telling them different thing and that’s causing a lot of chaos. I really wont to be with them and I know they feels the same way but they cant and I asked them what they wanted me to do and they said wait so just because I wont it to work out I’m going to do what they told me to do and I’m going to wait just that I could have a better chance to make it happen or to be with them. People are really in my life right now and that’s really driving me crazy and I can’t deal with it but I like them so Im going to make it happen.

THE LATEST AT UPLIFT

Recently Uplift as had spirit week, along with the homecoming game and dance. Most students say the highlight of this week was the prep rally and the dance. The prep rally was very exciting. The best part was when the seniors made the tribute to Michael Jackson. The dance was crackin’. Everybody that came are still talking about it. Those who didn’t are mad because they missed out on a lot of fun.

The day of zombie doom

MORBID, Isopholus, and Behemoth all lived in a cave. They told stories about the
old day of how they lived in Chicago. The year is now 2015. Six years ago there was
a out break plague that possessed individuals that turned them into zombies. They
walked the streets . They ran. They fight with every dead strength that they have.
Isopholus is the leader like a father leading around his off spring. Morbid is a witch
that has the powers such as MEDUSA, and HEMLOCK. BEHEMOTH is a archer that has a
writher to the scream of a arrow. Although Isopholus is the leader, he has the strength
of five men combined. All three of them are now in Iowa located near a corn field
inside of a cave. Morbid starts to mix this potion together, and creates a marvelous
potion named amarth. A body replica of a archer appears. After every 10 seconds
another, and another appears for a hour. Morbid created that category for BEHEMOTH.
Then Morbid mixed another potion but for Isopholus this time.


Heaps of warriors in armor…..just like that…..were born. With the access of
Isopholus’s voice, the warrior’s complied. They each had the combination strength
of two men. Then, finally, MORBID created her own creations. Out of the purple liquid
figures with bodies looked human like but their robes were demonic in the color black.
You could not see their faces. Under the narrow hoods lay a grim reaper appearance.
The figures came in all slim shapes. Not even the world could tell which is boy, or
girl but the creator. Each of them had mystical staffs that can shoot out two spells,
orbs, and runes. It was night time and, the three of them gathered their soldiers
together. Then at that very moment they each heard agonizing yells that would
sound like a leopard yelling away from a long distance. It was a legion of zombies
that came in the 100,000’s.


How a nasty joust of their teeth clenched inside their mouths. The zombies screeched
with a hungry verse such as that of a pack of lions chasing their prey. Isohpolus got
army ready. For his words deemed “They come in the many, but though have a one
tracked mind. We fight with pride, and we shall rise.” With that Isopholus walked
forward out of the cave twenty meters on a hill hence from there he gazed onwards
out into the couple of leagues away where the zombies lurked. They each looked like
narrow little dots like fleas. They were swarming around. They each could run up to
fifteen miles per hour. Simultaneously Behemoth gathered his set of archers on the top
of the cave hence they left from. His words deemed “Archers, we fight with tendencies
higher than that of the enemy…..the zombies. For the staves of our bows will speak for
themselves!” With that, Behemoth held the command for them to fire with a halt until it
was the perfect time to fire. Lastly, Morbid exited the cave with a vastly amount of
phoenixes which were huge as horses. Mounted on each phoenix, the shades that Morbid
had created sat up with that of a pumped chest as king lion heart once had. They each
had staffs of their own ready. Morbid lead her phoenix first twenty meters where
Isopholus was standing with his army of knights. The other phoenixes followed instinct-
ively behind Morbid. They finally got to the foot of the hill where Isopholus, and his
many men stood bravely upright. The men, and Isopholus created a gap in the middle of
the hill for Morbid, and her set to take flight, and with melee men on the left, and melee
men on the right, just like that Isopholus, and his many soldiers shouted such courage
with their voices, words, and armor as though Achilles had just slayed one of his opponents, and at the moment of his slaying his men would cheer for him, and with
that cheer the phoenixes all ran in a single file line up from the middle, and with that,
phoenixes went every direction in the air. Morbid’s eyes turned blood shot looking a
league away ready for the first wave of attack. Morbid sprang words forth saying “
zombies may have strength, but very low mental minds”.


Back on the hill Isopholus dwelled his words…”It is time……god help us. Proceed!!!” said Isopholus, walking towards the battle field with his soldiers mimicking. Behemoth
then called out “Archers!!!...Ready!!!! To The Hill!” They ran to the hill in the hundreds. There was about a good 300 archers set. They arrived at the top of the hill merely seeing Morbid, and her top flight phoenix warriors attach the hungry feigned zombies with just visible orbs from a distance. Then Behemoth saw Isopholus, and his thousand brave warriors proceeding on to the battle field. Isopholus, and his thousand brave warriors were now fifty yards away from the gory battlefield of marching zombies that Morbid created from above. “ Warriorssss!!!!! Rush Them!!!!.”, and with that, Isopholus ran with no remorse, and his thousand warriors ran after him with the same intention to slay the mutilating zombies.


Morbid yelled from above “ ISOPHOLUS!!!, lead your men into different sectors!!!!!”
Morbid ment for Isopholus to tell his men to go diagonal positions but it was too late.
They were charging like ferocious bulls ready with their horns and in just moments of seconds Isopholus was slashing his blade thoroughly with his men following right behind him. TO BE CONTINUED…….

Some people say that weed should be illigal....bet there are to sides to everything. even people that work with the government are trying to make it legal.

The
Witch
Diaries




“Being the only Wicca in this school, I bring something new and kinda creepy to the students. But surprisingly, I get asked a lot of question people seem interested in knowing and wanting to understand. They want to know how I got into it, why I do it and does it really work. Being a witch isn’t just all magic and spells like you see on TV, it has a lot of seriousness and practicing to it. But I am here to help make it less weird, each week I will give you Wicca advice by using tools that I know and spells and such you can use in your everyday life, for luck and good dreams and such… Hope you ENJOY! ! !

Horoscope

In the month of October the celestial alignment of Orion’s belt is visible on earth mainly facing in the northwest portion of the earth… Sorry but this is bad news for the Sagittarius and the Libra; your month will be filled with disappointment and anger. But on the flip side, as for Capricorns and Pisces’s father galaxy is good to you; your month will be filled with opportunity and enlightenment.

R.I.P SPANKY

the person that iam reminising the most is my big cusin ernest lomax but know as spanky 4. spanky was my favorite big cusin we been through alot of things together and its hard to kno that he is gone forever and not coming back. everytime i think about him i start to share a tear because i wish i was der in the car to tell him to put on his seat belt and tell da driver to slow down. spanky was my favorite big cusin because growin up together we had so much funny times and times i will n cant never forget and to see him in a casket really hit me because i have never seen him in a suit except for good times and i just broke down to my knees and cried all the way home. i still cry for him almost everday and i just hope he's in the right place doing the right things. R.I.P SPANKY

Ratio of Minorities in Prison

Notice what you see in prison. Whenever someone sees prison on tv or if anyone address it you will see mostly black and latinos as the majority of the Prison population. A large amount of prisoners that you see are colored skin people and that didn't even commit any crimes. If the law was fair then there would be such a difference when it comes to the ratio. If the law did not contradict itself some much and wasn't on Bullshit then we would be able to have a fair system. What gets to me is this also who does the law serve a protect its just seem like they only take a certain group that they really serve and protect. Most of the Police would normally target a neighborhood that is very poor and they know that people of color are in those neighborhoods. If the rules were up to me then the police who are locking up innocent citizens I would step in and fire them and make sure they weren't authorized to get their jobs back.

Diary of a Junior

The life in highschool has alot of different perspectives and point of views. Highschool has its good days and its bad days, it's fun when it wants to be, and sometimes it gets on my nerves. When I was a little kid in elementary achool and middle school I was always scared to get to highschool, I thought it was going to be hard and that I wasn't going to get through. But when I got into highschool it wasn't half as bad as I thought it would be and I'm getting through it way easier then I thought I was. Yeah it's hard, but it's easy once you listen and pay attention. Alot of teenagers take highschool to a whole nother level and they ethier take it seriously or they don't.

Teen Drinkin is Very Bad, I got an ID though!(Tipsy by J-kwon) Teen drinking is a reality I feel adult should stop being in denial. Parent-Teen relationships are don't know/ don't care. Most teens that i know don't drink responsibly nor in moderation. They get drunk, wasted, slapped, smacked and busted. Whatever the name for it teens are drinking and whether it is detrimental to their health or not they are going to drink. I believe if teens are to drink it should be in a controlled enviorment. I personally have gotten in the car with a drunken driver, Yeah it was irresponsible on both of our behalfs but I question how come they were drunk and knew their driving wouldn't be impared. Mostly likely becuase they had been doing so for some time teen drinker become INVINSIBLE adults NOT COOL! Once the need to rebel is gone so is need for excess drinking, If the drinking age were lowered to 18 maybe that would eliminate the need for binge drinking.

why you take him???

Please God, tell me why,
Friends have to die and why we have to say good byb

Its not fair and its not right having to fight just to stay away from the light
Oh god, Why some night?

I didn't think life could end so fast,
he was so young his years won't last.

Please god, Tell me why? so hard to say good byb

Maybe life isn't what it seems,
and not all teens get their dreams.

I know we're all meant to someday die,
Still god, I have to ask why?

From: "christian house" Add sender to ContactsTo: christianhouse07@yahoo.comIt was about seven o clock in the morning when Kiana woke up to start her day off. Like always she woke up to her mother yelling to her younger brother’s and sister. She stayed in the projects, a three bed room apartment that was the size of a box. Luckily since Kiana was the oldest she got her own room. Kiana was a seven teen year honor student who stood about 5”5, car skin, with long hair all down her back. Around her peers she would act like she had it made but she really struggled. It was hard for her to keep her household together and stay focused on school at the same time. Her mother was on drugs and she didn’t even know her father. Kiana got all of her dreams and goals in her books. She felt like if she could get a scholarship to a school then that would be her way to not live that type of lifestyle anymore. The only person that understood Kiana was her best friend Iyani. Her problems were so similar to Kiana’s, they could write a book together. Iyani was a dark chocolate girl, with hair that feel to her shoulders, that stood about 5”3. She too didn’t know her father. It felt like she didn’t know her mother as well because she was always working. Iyani was the youngest out of five children. She had an older

"Me and My Babies

Gina Jackson is a 33-year-old single mother who has eight children. They lived in the projects of Chicago.
A few years earlier, she gave birth to a set of twins. At that point, of time she did not want any more kids. She already had two kids, two girls. The pregnancy was unexpected. She has a one-night stand with this tall brown-skinned dude from Atlanta. The first thing she thought when went to the doctor and found out that she was pregnant was to get an abortion.
“No, I can’t give my baby away. I'm just going to have to keep it and find another income to support him/her,” said Gina.
“I'm sorry ma’am but you’re having twins so it’s seems as if you’re going to need two more jobs,” said the doctor.
“What do you mean twins? What am I going to do? I got two shorties already,” said Gina.
“Well I don’t know ma’am talk it up with your babies’ father,” said the doctor.
“I don’t…never mind. Thanks for your entire help doc,” said Gina.
Gina walked out crying. Many people keep asking if something was wrong with her, and if she needs some help. Gina kept asking God why her. If she was being punished for something.
“Baby, what’s wrong? Mrs. Johnson told me that she saw you at the bus stop and you were going through a little something,” said Gina’s mother.
“Mama you are not going to believe this. I’m pregnant…,” said Gina.
“What?” said Gina’s mother.
“With twins,” said Gina.
“O my God baby. How did this happen?” said Gina’s mother.
“Mama, it was a little quickie with some out of town dude,” said Gina.
“What you mean? For what? I am lost. I don’t understand please explain,” said Gina’s mother.
“I don’t want to talk about it right now. But I got to go. Bye,” said Gina.
“No, you don’t have to go nowhere. We need to talk,” said Gina’s mother.
Gina hung up the phone with her mother, went to her room, and cried for two hours straight. She hurried up and tried to clean her face up because her children were on their way home.
“Wow I need to get myself together because I don’t need to let my babies see me down,” Gina said to herself.
She went downstairs to the kitchen to fix her kids something to eat.
About 30 minutes later Keisha and Moonie came in the door arguing.
“Hold on and wait a minute. Take that mess back out the door because I don’t have time for that non-sense,” said Gina.
“No Ma she was acting like she my mama and I know she older than me in front of everybody,” said Moonie.
“No Ma she was being all fast and shit. All up in some popped ass little boy face,” said Nesha.
“Moonie, what I tell you about that you have to be classy, not trashy. Don’t just act like a lady be a lady,” said Gina.
“But Ma,” said Moonie.
“But Ma, my ass. Now get upstairs and do your homework,” yelled Gina.
Nesha and Moonie both ran upstairs because they knew Mama was not playing. They knew that it was something wrong with their mother. They could just hear it in her voice. Any other time Mama would have beaten the brakes off them if she heard they were being fast. However, this time around she was very mellow.
“Man, I wonder what’s up wit Ma,” said Nesha.
“Yes because something just not right about her and I cant quite put my hands on it. But trust me I will,” said Moonie.
Moonie was the youngest out of the two. She is 14 years old. Moonie is the nosiest one too. She always up to something or into something.
Nesha was the bad one who fought all the time. She always was suspended from school for fighting. Many times, it would be because of Moonie because she has a mouth on her. Nesha is 16 years old.
“See if you didn’t come home telling Mama what I was doing. Then it would not have brung more stress on her. But NO you have to open your big mouth and say something,” said Moonie
“Don’t try to put this on me. This doesn’t have anything to do with me,” said Nesha.
“Now I feel all bad and shit,” said Moonie.
Nesha and Moonie went downstairs to go eat what Mama cooked. They went down the stairs quietly. They did not want to do anything else to tick Mama off.
“So, how was school today?” asked Mama.
“Well nothing much I did all my work today and didn’t get into any trouble for talking,” exclaimed Moonie.
“And Ma I didn’t get into it with nobody,” said Nesha.
“That’s good my babies doing well in school. I’m proud of both of you’ll,” said Gina.
Nesha and Moonie both looked at each other, because they both knew they were lying. They had phony smiles on their faces. Nesha got into an argument with some girl at lunch and slapped the hell out of her. But she didn’t get in trouble because it was no teachers around.
Moonie got kicked out of her classroom for talking back to the teacher and talking during a test. The teacher did not bother calling home because nothing is being done by doing that.
Gina went upstairs and left the girls downstairs at the table.
“Man, what Mama don’t know wont hurt her,” said Moonie silently.
“I know right. But I needs to know what’s up with her,” said Nesha.
Upstairs Gina was watching TV trying not to think about it. She cried so loudly that she had to go to the bathroom and cry her eyes out.
“Lord, what am I going to do? My babies are already spoiled and TWO more kids are not going to work out. I need to figure out me a plan before I have my life ruined.
Gina went to her dresser draw, pulled out her dairy, and began writing about the information that he considered terrible information. Terrible thoughts started going through her head. Now my children are not going to love me anymore. They just might run away from me, I do not want them to feel left out if I do decide to keep these kids. Or maybe I could just give one of them away and keep the other.
Gina picks up the phone to call her best friend Wookie.
“What’s good Wookie Boo?” exclaimed Gina.
“Nothing much, these damn kids steady breaking shit. Twan got kicked out of school so I got to search for a new one for him,” said Wookie.
Wookie and Gina have been best friends since 7th grade. Wookie had four kids with drug dealers. But unlike Gina she knew who her baby daddies was.
“Gina, he threw a chair at the teacher because she told him he wasn’t gone make it nowhere in life, and he was gone end up like his daddy. In jail,” cried Wookie.
“Well dang, she needs her ass beat and that’s on my daddy,” yelled Gina.
“Girl, that’s why he got kicked out his I went up there and beat the dog stuff out of her. She was kicked out the school too but she also got a trip to the hospital. They told us that we causing too much attention to the school and Twan is no longer enrolled,” explained Wookie.
“Well you can send him to Moonie and Nesha school over here,” said Gina.
“Okay but what’s new with you chick?” asked Wookie.
“Wookie Ma, I’m pregnant,” said Gina.
“How that happen man?” asked Wookie.
“I can’t tell you right now. I have not told Moonie and Nesha so do not say anything. But I told my mother about it,” said Gina.
“Well girl, you know I’m here for you no matter what happens. I got your back,” said Wookie.
“Alright girl, I got to go now. I’ll talk to you later,” said Gina.
Gina hung up the phone. She was thinking that it was time for her to tell her kids,
“Moonie and Nesha come here. We got to talk,” yelled Gina.
Nesha and Moonie ran upstairs thinking they were caught in their lie.
“Yes Mama,” yelled Nesha and Moonie.
“I need to tell you something. I do not want you to be upset with me. I still haven’t made a final decision,” cried out Gina.
“What it is Ma?” asked them both.
“I’m pregnant,” said Gina with hesitation.
“For real. Dang since when?” asked Moonie.
“I’m almost two months now,” said Gina with a smile.
“Omg Ma, what you having? Who it’s by?” asked Nesha.
“I don’t know what it is yet. I didn’t plan on keeping it because I didn’t know how you would react to it,” explained Gina.
“Now Mama, why do you think that? I want another sibling other than Moonie bald head self,” said Nesha with a smile.
“But Im not just having one Im having twins,” said Gina.
“Ok but you still aint tell us who the daddy is,” said Moonie.
“Well it was with this man out of town. It was a one-night stand. And it was for money,” said Gina.
“DAMN Mama it’s like that? What you need the money for?” asked Nesha.
“I couldn’t make ends meet for the rent,” said Gina.
“Well at least it wasn’t for any drugs or nothing,” said Moonie.

Sarah White
Period 8
Lavita Jones

My name is Lavita Jones and I’m a homeless teen who has had a lot of struggles. I have been trough a lot in my life. Now I’m a Harvard student who has student who has a job working at a newspaper. If you want to know how I got this way. If your mad that a homeless person made it this far and not you. I will tell you I’m hard working and determine. It wasn’t always that way though I remember a time when I was young and I couldn’t get any food I had to dig in the garbage can. My childhood was the most horrible childhood a child can even imagine. My mother and father were both crack heads. They worried more about getting their next hit than putting clothes on my back and shoes on my feet. I and my old sister Lisa had to fin for ourselves. We had to steal clothes and food just to survive. I hated the fact that we could even wash up in the morning because we didn’t have any water because whenever my dad use to come up own some money him and my mom just smoked it up. We stayed in this like crack house were mostly crack heads and homeless people lived. Me And my sister are two totally different people. She loved going to school and getting an education but I hated waling into school smelling like old dirty people. That’s why I never went I stayed home taking care of my mother. I loved my mother dearly even though she would get violent with me when she smoked crack. I still tried to help her out by cleaning the house washing the dishes just trying to make the place look good so that the DCFS wouldn’t take me and my sister away. It was this one old homeless lady that stayed across from us. One day she was looking threw the garbage and found two whole sets of encyclopedia. Which was the greatest gift I had ever gotten this gift was the start of a new chapter in my horrible life. When I got my books I just couldn’t stop reading. That’s all I did was read it was so interesting. I just never could go to school and whenever I went I would always come on test days and every test I would past. The stuff was easy because I read and everything that we were tested on I read about. I was a smart kid but I just didn’t like going to school because I was scared to come home and find my mother dead of overdose. That’s why I stayed home and my sister would always get mad at me because I would never go she would always tell me that the people were going to take me if didn’t go. Every time she would say that I went. One day I went and my teacher told me not to take the test because I wasn’t here to know what the test was about. I told her that I could take it anyway. After class she stopped me and asked me why I haven’t been coming to school like my sister. I just wanted to tell her to mind her own damn shit and stay out of mine but I didn’t I just I had family issues. She told me not to take her next comment as a threat she told me to take it as a promise. She told me that if I wouldn’t start coming to school that he would call DCFS on my mother so that they could take me away. Then she handed me a bag of clothes and told me to keep my head up. I was thinking how I could keep my head up when my life kept bringing me down I mean it was impossible. I did take the words to heart that she said about calling the peoples on me. The last thing I wanted to do was go to a group home and be away from my mom. I tried going to school but if I didn’t really work out. My mother needed me and I was going to help her no ifs ands or buts about it. My teacher did call DCFS and they came to my house but they gave me a warning. A few weeks later my mom came home more messed up than usual. She was completely gone I mean she didn’t even know me. She came in screaming, “Who da fuck are you and where’s my daughter.” I started to tell her that I was her daughter but I knew that it wouldn’t matter. She started tossing thing around saying things like, “You people don’t know I will kill all of you.” I was in the corner crying my eyes out because I couldn’t help the drugs had taken my mother and I wanted her back. I tried to calm her down so I got up to get her and she hit me with a pot in my head and I was knocked out for about an hour. When I woke up the police was at my house and DCFS they took my mother away and I was alone not knowing what to do. I sat in her chair smelling the secant trying to remember the good days that we had together. A few months later I was walking on the streets wondering what my mother was doing. When I came home she was sitting in her chair the chair that I had sat and cried in for the past few months. I always loved it when my mother when see was out of rehab. She was the mother any little girl could want. While we were sitting their talking and laughing she looked kind of troubled. I wanted to know what was wrong so I asked her even though I knew it was going to be something bad I wanted to know anyway. “Mom what’s wrong.” “Nothing baby I’m find but there is something that I have to tell you.” “What is it mom.” “I have to move back in with my dad.” I was shocked because her dad treated her and my ant so badly and I wanted to know why. I knew the next words were going to be bad but I wanted to know anyway. She told me that she had aids and I started to cry my eyes out I didn’t want her to die like that. She tried to comfort me but I knew that after that things wouldn’t’ be the same. My mom and my older sister left and went to ma so called grandfathers house I didn’t go because he was such a cruel person and I hated what he did to my mom. I hate everyone that hurts her I want them dead. When she left I really wasn’t going to school. My teacher called DCFS again this time they came and there wasn’t anyone at the house my dad had gone out to get some food. They stormed in talking about why I haven’t been going to school I couldn’t even answer them I was stuck. Then ma dad walked in with the food they pulled him outside and was talking to him for about 35 minutes. When they came back in they told me to pack my bags and come with them. I was kicking and screaming I didn’t want to go but they made and my dad couldn’t do anything but shoot up. I was so mad at myself for not going with my mother now I had to live in a group home away from my family the people that I loved the most in the whole world. I hated that but I guess it had to be that way.

The Game

First day of school
Try Outs
My name is Ronny Mulik; I play for uplift high school in Chicago, Illinois. I was born and raised in Louisiana and I moved to Chicago when I was 7. I’ve been playing basketball for as long as I remember. I’m going into my senior season at uplift and last year I averaged 37.5pts 6 assist and 7rebounds. People say I’m destined for greatness, But they really don’t know how my life is, they really don’t know me. Well in this story I’m going to give them a chance to know me.
Today is the first day of school; I’m excited but nervous at the same time. I’m driving my new 2009 Dodge Magnum to school but first I got to pick up my girl Michelle, I’ve been with her since my freshman year…But she’s been acting strange lately. She’s been acting like she’s up to something or she thinks im up to something, Either way im going to get to the bottom of it, Because we been together to long to keep secrets. She got in the car and I said to her
“Wusup?”
“Nothing”
“Why you always saying that, do you still want to be my girl? Because lately you been ignoring me like I did something.”
“It aint that, It’s just…”
“It’s just what?”
“You’re leaving me after this year, to go to college.”
“Do you really believe that im going to leave you, just forget about you? Is that the type of guy u think that I am? I thought I told you how much I love you and that I would never hurt you, why don’t you believe me?”
“I do believe you baby I just needed you to tell me that again.”
“So you are going to stop acting funny right. Cause I wanted to spend the night with you.”
“Yeah boo I’m straight.”
We had arrived at the school, as I was going in everybody was asking me what college I was going to and if I was going to go pro, I kept telling them I don’t know and I don’t know. I got to my first period class and I was excited. I loved school and couldn’t wait for the season to start.
Try outs are always funny to me. Everybody wants to be a basketball player even the guys who can’t ball. So when you get a group of guys who can’t play and scrimmage them it looks really funny. It was time for my team to go on and we were playing against this new guy’s team I never seen before. He didn’t intimidate me, nobody did, it’s just that I know everybody and seeing a new guy on my court was different to. So we get on the court and this new cat immediately begins talking crap, he says “you know you overrated right?’’ I already knew after he said that that he was just another hater, and I was going to kill him on the court. I’m 6’6; the only guy taller is my best friend Dwayne, and he’s on my team. So I’m going up for the dunk and I feel this kid pulling on my shoulder, It’s well known that I had surgery on my shoulder a couple of years back, So it angered me that he would grab my arm on purpose. I said to him
“What you grab me for? I had a wide open dunk”
“I was playing d; if you can’t handle it get off the court.”
“Nigga I’ll put you in the basket, we can go one on one right now for my spot. You win you get my starting 2 guard spot, I win you leave this gym.”
“You overrated and I’m going to expose you.”
I get this a lot; dudes come in the gym and try to prove themselves by playing me. They only end up getting embarrassed like this cat was about to be. I said to him
“What’ game partna?”
“24 by 2s.
“You not gone touch this ball.”
“Yeah we’ll see.”
We played to 24 and I won 24 to 0. I have to give it to him, I did miss one shoot so he did get the ball, but he tried to go to the hole and I put his shot off glass.
After tryouts I had to drop Dwayne off at home, but I was planning on going to see Michelle so I was in a rush.
“Ay Weezy, who you going to prom with?’’
“I don’t know, I was thinking about taking your girl.”
“You wish.”
“Ha-ha but I’m thinking about taking Jessica.”
“Aw ok man well get the hell out of my car I got to go see my girl.”

I went to Michelle’s house and called her to open the door. We was going to have a long night, And I was going to have a long season. But with my girl and my skills I should breeze through it.

TRUE STORY

The True Story

In 1282, the French Angevins "held a tight grip on Sicily," and a secret society arose to defeat this oppressive organization. The battle cry of this rebellious group was:
"morte alla Francia Italia anelia!" (Italian for "death to the French is Italy's cry!"),
and if the first letters of the verse are taken, the anagram MAFIA is deciphered.

The word Mafia was first published in 1862 in a play by Giuseppe Rizzuto, called "I Mafiosi della Vicaria" (The Mafia in the Vicarage") about a secret criminal group in the prisons of Palermo.

In Sicily, the word mafia tends to mean "manly", and is often applied to someone without necessarily meaning they were a criminal. Sicily has had to adapt to numerous invasions: Arabs in the ninth century, Norman's in the 11th century, French in the 12th, Spanish in the 15th, as well as invasions by the Germans, Austrians and Greeks.


Secret societies in the hills were needed to resist foreign rulers. These societies were formed not only to try and defeat the French rulers but also to protect and feed the Italian families in the villages of Palermo and surrounding areas. Since most of the villagers were related, each village picked a member to head their family. These heads of families were called (capodecina or capos for short). The capodecina would pick men from the village to take with him to the hills. Before the men left for the hills they would have to pledge their loyalty, support and Omertá . The oath in English sounded like this:


"I (NAME GIVEN) want to enter into this secret organization to protect my family and to protect my brothers. ""morte alla Francia Italia anelia!" With my blood. (A knife is used to place a cut on the right index finger or hand) and the blood of all the saints, and the souls of my children.
(The sign of the cross is made) I swear not to divulge this secret and to obey with love and omerta. I enter alive into this organization and leave it only in death."


Once safe in the hills, all the capodecina's would get together and pick someone to be in charge of all the members of this secret society. The head of all the members was called (Capo di tutti capi) the boss of all the families. Food was scarce, conditions deplorable, the French controlled everything and if you didn't do what the French Angevins wanted, they would torture and kill you. The members of the society would raid supplies and weapons from the French and distribute their wares throughout the villages. They had to operate in complete secrecy. This was necessary to protect the members and their families from torture. This was an honorable society in the fact that you had to believe totally in the cause and be willing to die to protect the members. The villagers also respected and honored the soldiers from the hills. They knew there was a chance for freedom from the French but only if they remained silent about their fellow Italians in the hills.

Joining the society is like joining a religion. It is a lifetime commitment, stronger than any ties to other religions, state or even family. You cannot retire from it. This society has survived through centuries, it is secret and only members know other members. No one would ever admit to being a member nor tell you who other members are. That would violate Omertá and be punishable by death.

Throughout the centuries the leaders and soldiers have changed the society, some for the better, some for the worst. The men from the hills once stole to feed and protect their families and friends. They were very good at it. So good, they ended up with more food and supplies then they could ever use. In order to get things that they could not steal; they traded with mainland Italy and other countries. This was the start of the black market. The society has always been a powerful force in Italy.
Not everyone in the society is a criminal nor are all Italians in the society.


What Americans call Mafia in this country, is believed to be started by Don Vito Cascio Ferro, who fled to New York following the murder of banker Emanuele Notarbartolo in Sicily, in 1893. More society members fled to America during the 1920's, when Mussolini attempted to eradicate the Mafia in Sicily. When the Allies liberated Italy in World War II, they freed anti Mussolini prisoners, including many society members. Some were installed in positions of power, and thus began to interweave politics and organized crime in Italy. The society moved from the rural hills to the cities of Sicily. The Sicilians have developed co-operative agreements with other secret Italian societies, the Camorra and Ndrangheta, but remain the controlling organization. The Sicilians are flexible and can work with many nationalities. The major threat to the Sicilians and the society is their own periodic bloodletting feuds. If the society that was called Mafia in the 12th century was alive and well today; there would not be a need for government programs. All would prosper. Italians need to look close at their families and friends. There is no Mafia, it does not exist anymore, but there is a chance for Italians to work together with their families and friends to make life better and more prosperous. http://www.gambino.com/mafia.htm good stories on mafia this is were i got my inspiration DON JULIO CEZAR CHAVEZ.

The setting of the story is in Ghana, Mars, and the United States. Don and his family live in the main city in Ghana. Zoe lives in Mars without his family. The United States is at war with China and Zoe has heard something on the radio about overpopulation in the U.S. The year is 2020 and times are very hard right now. Cities are overpopulating and many people are homeless right now.
Zoe is trying to find a map on how to get to the United States. Zoe is a creature that when he smells food, he is going to get his food. Only a brave and intelligent warrior like Don would end this old man’s life. Don had heard about a man name Zoe, but he never knew what such uncontrollable power he had. Don was thinking about going back to the United States to get a professional job, but he did not have his papers and he was deported once.
2020 “The Disaster”
It is the year 2020 and the war has began between the U.S. and China. The war started because the U.S. owes China a ton of money and cannot pay it back. Instead of the U.S. paying back the money, they decided to spend money on stars and wars. Many countries in the world are poor becaise of the U.S. Zoe overheard about the war and was about to travel to the U.S. He felt that since there would be a war, many people who live in the U.S. will not be able to get out because China’s technological advances. Zoe traveled for almost a month on foot into the United States.
The war was going on for several days and many people were dying. Children aged between 5 and 10 were being drowned in water and brutally beaten. The war was so bloody that you could smell it through the air. When Zoe arrivved in the U.S., everyone recognized him. Not knowing that the war was just about to begin.
Now, it was the U.S. and China going against one giant man. Zoe was so destructable that not even the most technological advanced weapon could scratch him. Both countries were so confused and did not know what to do. Zoe started ating kids left and right. Dead bodies swallowed like a shark was in town. This war between creatures and humans was geeting out of hand.
The fight for survival had been going on for a few months and the population was vastily decreasing. Don had heard about the fight and he wanted to do something about it. How can a man as skinny as Don defeat a beast like Gorilla Zoe? Don was taking fighting classes in Ghana. Don learned a lot of techniques and skills about fighting. Don knew that fighting was not the only solution to a monster like Zoe. Don learned that bravery and intelligence will defeat such a beast. Don was only 150 pounds and 6 feet tall. He had second thoughts about fighting Don.
Bravery
Another month had passed and the population decreased by half. So many deaths and so much tragedy. The president had been eaten to pieces and only his head was found. Zoe had grown almost 1,000 more pounds and he was stronger than ever. Zoe manhandily kiled almost everyone and no one in sight could stop such a beast. Don had heard that the population was vastily decreasing and now he was getting motivated to go back to the U.S. The problem was that Don was an immigrant and he had no papers. Don had a smart idea. His idea was to go to the airport and tell the people that he could defeat such a beast. He started writing letters to the airport an embassy about how he can defeat Zoe and release America’s freedom.
Don had waited about a week, but no replies. He then got a reply from the Ghananian president and was asked to sign a contract. The contract was about if he could defeat Zoe, he would be the president of the United States. Don was very thrilled to hear about this and informed his parents about the great news. His parents were afraid that their son would be chopped up into bits and sent back in an envolope. Don had a lot of hope in himself and he knew that defeating Zoe would be an excellent accomplishment. Who knows whats next?
The Battle For Freedom Shall End!
On the day that Don was supposed to leave, he prayed for almost two hours straight. Don asked for the strenght and wisdom to fight such a beast. Don had to travel on a boat because all the flights in the U.S. were destroyed. Who knew that fighting the terrible beast was not the only obstacle, but also traveling on a boat?
Don was the only passenger traveling on the boat and the boat assistant was also there. He asked Don if he was ready for such an obstacle and Don said yes. They had traveled for almost 30 days and the U.S. poplulation was vastily decreasing. When they arrived, Zoe was on the other side of the street, not knowing that his war and challenge was awaiting him. With no place to live or sleep, it was time to get staraight to business.
The war had began and everyone was there to watch. Zoe striked first, but he missed because Don was invincible. Don then turned back to visibility and kicked Zoe in the face. Zoe got very angry and got out his chainsaw. He could not touch Don because once again, Don was invincible. Zoe then used all his might ti attack the young man, but stupidity never beats intelligence. “Don the intelligent” then was able to defeat thebeast and became president of the United States.

“When the Harvest Came”

Once upon a time in a far away land called “Gentury”. Gentury isn’t a place you wouldn’t want to go on vacation to on vacation to or even call your home. It was cold, dark, its always thundering and lightening, but the weird thing is that it never rains. It only rains once every 3 months. Once they had a huge population but with the lack of water they couldn’t grow any crops. So the people in the land starved to death.


Since that there wasn’t a lot of water the farmers stopped planting seeds. The only food the people were given were meat. That was given to them once a month. So you can imagine how the people that live in Gentury were unhappy, weak, and skinny. But when all the farmers stopped planting seeds more people died.

The land of Gentury is ruled by this evil warlock named Micheal. Everybody in the land was scared of him. He was very tall with slinky body. Micheal was a greedy person. Micheal had an apple tree and he had a garden. If you ever went on his property he would cast a spell on you. But Micheal was the one eating up all the people’s food.

When all the other farmers stopped planting seeds. There was this boy named Tyvonne who kept planting seeds. He kept planting seeds even though he knew that the soil was cursed by Micheal. Tyvonne was a good guy. He liked making people happy. One time Micheal distributed some food and their was a boy who didn’t get any food. So he decided to share his food with the boy and they became best friends.

The boy Tyvonne shared his food with name was Ike. Just like his best friend, Ike was a good person. But Ike had also been through some hard times. Ike lost his mother because she died from starvation. That is the main reason Ike doesn’t like Micheal. Ever since Ike lost his mom he has been waiting on his chance to destroy him. But he couldn’t do it alone needed some help from Jalequa and Kaya.

Jalequa is the smartest girl in the land. So if anyone was to help Ike out it was her. She dreamed of a new land, a place with light and food, so she can feel happy. The only reason Jalequa stayed in the land of Gentury was because of her twin sister Kaya.

Kaya was the bravest girl in the land. She would try to fight the whole world if she could. She doesn’t like Micheal –either because he is a bully. If you deny any request he gives you he would put a curse on you. Kaya doesn’t like to be bullied or anyone else.

One day Kaya’s little brother Phil was walking and he decided to bother him. Micheal threw a pebble at him. Kaya saw him throw then she started screaming at Micheal, then they began to argue. They were so loud that her friends heard her and they came running. But Micheal threatened her and he would take her voice box out so she wouldn’t be able to talk anymore.

Tyvonne had just finished planting some seeds. Micheal approaches all of them and asks who are you suppose to be. Ike said we are the people of this land. Were tired of you telling us what to do and you eating up all the food. Micheal said what are you going to do about it the. Ike told him I am not scared of you. Then kaya followed and said she’s not scared either. As a matter of fact she went and took an apple from the tree and bit into it. So Michael raises this wand to the air and when she saw him she immediately picked up the tree and threw it knocking the wand out his hand.

That’s when Ike got happy and said this is my chance. So Ike ha d his friends to distract Michael. So they all began picking up apples and throwing them at Michael. So Ike quickly ran over and grabbed the wand and with one wave Michael turned to ashes.

As soon as all of his ashes dropped to the ground something miraculous happened. First the sun came out, and then it started to rain. In all of the sudden fruits and vegetable grew from the ground. All the seeds Tyvonne had been planting weren’t a waste of time. So they fed everybody in the land. They even changed the name of the to Coventre. No one ever starved again and the people were happy.

Myth

Once upon a time there were slaves. But they weren’t slaves in that sense, they were just called slaves because the low amount of pay they got for so much work they had to take on. These are students we are talking about. They were not paid well at all. Sometimes with no food or shelter. If the boss was a bad person they would hold the slave back and work them an extra hour or two for no pay. They had to work about five hours a day. They also attended school but didn’t have to do homework because they were supporting their family. But the slaves couldn’t say or do anything because they had no word in society. If the slave tried to react to this they were given a consequence. The consequence was homework. Students hated homework because they didn’t have to do it in school, but if they were getting in trouble that was their punishment.

The term homework really meant that it was extra work that you required to do at home only after work if you were punished or after school. If you were caught doing homework outside of your house or during school/work hours then you were going to be killed. That is why students don’t like homework and hate it with a passion. It all started one day when a student was disrespecting his boss and tried to kill his boss. So they gave him a punishment and the term they called it was homework. Ever since then students didn’t like the idea and that is why students don’t like homework.

One day there was a little boy name Bradley that was on his way to school one morning walking down Adams Avenue. As he was walking there was a colored old man preaching about world history, people were stopping to listen to the man so he stopped and listened as well. He stood there for about 5 minutes, and then he started to walk away because he thought that the man was very boring. When he arrived at school he thought about the stuff the old man was saying and he thought that if the man was boring, all world history teachers were boring. After school him and all his colored Samuel, Edward and Joshua went to the park and they played around for a while, then they talked and Bradley told them about the old man. He explained to them everything the old man was saying and he told them that they shouldn’t like world history as a school subject because it is boring and it puts you to sleep, they said nothing but ok. Bradley thought that his friends should listen to the man for themselves so that went by Adams Avenue, They listened and walked away. All of them said BORING!! They went back to the playground and there were more kids there. They told all of them to meet by the swings. When they came the kids were looking confused, Bradley started telling them bout the old man, and he explained to them everything he said about history. He told them that they really shouldn’t like it because it is so boring! So none of the kids liked world history class.

Once upon a time there was a man whose name was Darkstar. He was part of the Indians, he’s name is divided in two parts “dark means” the dark sky and “star” means the light on the dark sky. Darkstar was the first Indian who discovered the stars on the sky. One night he saw that the sky was getting dark and little yellow dots with rays were coming out of the dark sky. He didn’t know what that yellow little dots with rays were, so Darkstar was scare and he alarmed all of the other Indians. They thought that the dark sky was being destroyed and fire was coming out from the yellow rays.
The Indians were afraid, they didn’t go to sleep, because they decided to watch how the dark sky get destroy. Nothing happened jet but they were still afraid. So they decided to wait until the night to see what happens hours past and night arrived so there were the little yellow rays again, their heart was beating fast. But again like the night before nothing happened and Darkstar didn’t know what that was. Days pasted and every night the yellow rays appeared on the dark sky. Then Darkstar said “I think that the yellow rays are the giving as the light for the dark sky” and the Indians said that he was “crazy” because there is no such things as light on the dark sky. There for some Indians believed that what Darkstar said was true. They didn’t had a name for the yellow ray’s jet but they decided that since Darkstar discover the yellow rays they would be named stars.
