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.

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.

She knew if she wanted an invitation she was going to have to work hard. So that’s what she did. Shwanh had a friend named “E”. She was considered as one of the guys. So shawnah thought she could get an invitation with no problem. So shwanh went up to “E” on some low key stuff. She was glad to give her one but she was all out. So next on shawnah list was Sid Tha Kid. But he was selling his but shawnah wasn’t trying buying an invitation for 10. So last but not least she had big moody left. Nobody got within 5 feet of him because he was always in a bad mood. But not with shawnah. He had a crush on her. But shwanh and him didn’t really get along because of there attitudes. They were too much alike. So shawnah went up to him but as usual they got in to it. Not only that. They start too fought. As usual shawnah gave him a good fight as always. But Big Moody always won. SO after all that he gave her an invitation. So she was there, BOOM! Hah her outfit already. SO she was cool. The day came. Everybody who was anybody was at the party. Music was banging. The usual Gucci, Niki, Drake, Wayne, Bmc Boys, Etc. The party was crackin I mean drinks, weed, drugs, O.C. Plus it was a juke so that mean everybody was throwing something back. So the party lasted until about until 2a.m But it started to get crackin around 12:00. When mook walked in t he party people noticed him But nobody noticed him like Shawnah. He was a dancer so all the girls threw themselves at him. And he did not resist. Shawnah jus sat there and looked as he danced. But after a while Shawnah began to dance as well. So next thing you kno the party was close to the end. People started wrapping there coats up and leaving. Plus Moody was mad because his DJ played garbage music. Dj TEX. Some how some way shawnah left her head phones? And everybody knew they were hers. Because she always carried them. And when she got home she realized they were gone. She thought her cousins stole them so she argued with them until 2:30. There was a knock on the door, Deon answered it. A familiar voice floated threw shawnah her eardrum. And Said is your cousin her. Instantly DD ran to the door. Because she jus knew it was impossible for the person to want shawnah. But sure enough as the door open more in shawnahs view. It was mook. He wanted shawnah. And he wanted to return her headphones. Instantly DD and Deon had the tricot. So shawnah went outside and shut the door behind her. mook gave them to her. And instantly looked into her eyes. He never stopped and realized how beautiful she was. They began to talk on the stairs. Conversation after another. Before they knew it 2 hours had passed. They had good conversation. So the night was over with. mook had to leave because he had a game in the morning. He asked shawnah if she wanted to go. She said yes. He leaned in and gave her a kiss on the lips. I guess that was his way of showing that he liked her. And shawnah kissed him back. As he walked away. She waved and he did to. When she got in the house everybody was sleep. She had a big smile. Jumping for joy out of no were. She finally got what she wanted. And feel asleep thinking of what there life would be like. So the night was over. Shawnah had fun. Went to the party. Got the boy she wanted. With a date. I mean yea so what it took a lot than average and she was treated badly threw a lot of the times. And she still didn’t get along with her cousins. But hay that’s life right? And no matter what she wanted it to go on like that forever. And she wouldn’t change anything in the story for all the money in the n world

“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.

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.

the yellow bright rock
Way way back in time before there excited any daylight people lived in darkness and never saw the sunlight. There was a boy named Shasun which name means “sun light” he was the son of the god of lighting. Shasun was a very lying boy to his parents. One night Shasun was walking to his palace and on his way there he saw a light ray so he went to see what that was. He found a yellow light rock, so he decided to take the yellow bright rock with him to his palace. But little did he know that the rock would grow bigger and bigger every time he lied to his parents. Time pasted and Shasun keep lying to his parents, one day he got in an argument with his father and went to his room and he realized that his yellow bright rock has been growing and growing over the time he hade lied to his parents. He tired to get close to the rock and he felt that it was burning HOT!!! and he said to himself “I can’t keep this here”, so he got his chariot and took it far far away, he flew all the way up to the dark sky and when he was up there he saw that his world got bright so he left it up there in the sky. For the fist few weeks ever one was happy because they had bright light and didn’t live in darkness any more, but then people were getting tired and in need of sleep. So Shasun said “I need to get back darkness in order for people to get sleep”, so Shasun went back up to the sky to take his yellow bright rock so his people can sleep. His father saw what Shasun had done and as a gift he gave Shasun the power to put and take out the yellow bright rock every time he wanted. And that’s how the sun got its name after Shasun, they named it like his last 3 letters of his name because it means “bright light” and that’s also how the sun rises ever morning and sets ever night.

Why do we have rain?
One day the heavenly gates were shaking and the angels were wondering what was going on. “What is this rumbling sound?’’ the angel asked. “I have no idea angel, let’s go find out.” Pony said. So the angels walked around the heavenly mansion and looked through all the rooms, the kitchens, the movie theaters and still the rumbling sound was going on. The only room left was god’s room so the angels put their ear to the door and god was making the rumbling sound! “God, what is the matter why are you crying?” “Why must this water fall above us?” “I’m sorry angels it’s just that I’m stressed and I get mad, then I cry. “I have no idea why this water is falling from the sky, but let’s go figure this out. So, god and the angels walked out the heavenly mansion and out into the heavenly garden and suddenly the water stopped! “God, what just happened first it was water falling now it’s just gone? God tried to figure this out but couldn’t come up with anything. Angel came to a conclusion “god” she said “cry again.” “What” I said “cry again”. So god start crying again and the water started to pour down on them again. God was amazed when he cried the cloud’s let out water above them and the sky turned gray. “God when you cry something happens to the world.” “All over or just the heavenly gates?” “All over god, what, what should we call this?” pony rubbed her belly and said “rain”. “since I’m having the first baby in heavenly manners and this is our first experiment at heavenly manners let’s name it rain!” so from then on every time it rains in the world god is either watering his plants or crying from being stressed out. So when it thunders god must be really mad at the world so be nice to him from now on!

In The Beginning
The earth is a flat dry surface with no light. On the land of Brii, there lived these five humans who could hear, smell, taste, and touch but could not see only because there was no light. They knew there were other people on the land, they could feel it, but they just couldn’t see them. But because they felt their presence, they were aware of them. That is how the senses were created.
One day, the humans decided to go on a search for other humans. But one of the humans said, “Well how will we know where we are going? It is too dark, we cannot see anything”. The others agreed in disappointment. One human mumbled under his breath and scrapped his foot against the dry land. As he did that, he heard a female voice say, “wait, do that again”.
“do what?” he says.
“that thing you just did with your foot” she said.
“what, this?” he said as he struck his foot against the ground again and a big flame swarmed into the air, filing the whole sky with light. The fire formed a big circular shape and rose higher and higher until it was too high to reach and too high for anyone to put out. Everyone looked around and saw all of the others. Everyone was in shock for a moment, but shortly after that, all of the people on the land of Brii jumped around and rejoiced in the beautiful. The woman looked at the young boy and said, “my son, you have created something that people will remember and find useful for as long as this earth stands”. That is how the sun was created.

How Thunder and Lighting Became
The wonderful powers of Mother Goddess ••◘Janaea◘••
The mother of all gods and goddesses. Mother God Janaea had mothered all nine of her children, the last five alone. The last five were named Jasmine, James, Jayden, Jayla, and the baby Janiyah. Since she was the last of Janaea’s children, Janiyah was given special powers.
Mother Janaea gave her children special powers. Since her, two baby boys were first, the power of loyalty and faithfulness. She gave James the powers of strength; so he can be able to defend his family, but he shall never kill for any given reason.
Then Janaea gave Jayden the powers of making gold and begin able to have the smarts of successful business so he trade his gold for anything, but before he can spend any of his profit he would have to give her 75% of it. Then for her girls the first power she had in mind was to read minds and to protect the young gods and goddesses, and Janaea gave that to Jayla. Then Janaea gave jasmine the powers to rule her own nation which jasmine called MT.J. Finally yet importantly, Janaea gave her last daughter Janiyah the power of the skies like Zeus, but since Zeus was before Janiyah time, she had to learn how to use her powers on her own. She had control of lighting and thunder, but since her mother felt that, she was giving Janiyah a big responsibility Janiyah couldn’t didn’t have full use of her powers only until her 15 Th birthday.
When her 15 th birthday came Janiyah ran to her mother and asked for full use of her powers. When she did her mother told her to go off into the rainforest and cry, but only when she’s sad or lonely. That will cause it to rain. And every time someone upsets her or tries to violate her, janiyah would go off on her carriage, ride across the skies, and throw thunder blots.
This myth was told hundreds of years ago to explain why it rains, thunder, and lighting. Some even say that god is crying or the angels are bowling.
My Creation Myth
In India we believe that there were three Gods who created Mankind. The way they created Mankind was by little stars. The three Gods themselves were the Moon, Sun, and Cloud. Some may say how did the three Gods get here? Well I was told from my ancestors believed that they came with the earth.
One day, the 2nd God sun decided that there should be something or someone to worship them. So they decided to create Mankind because they felt no one was looking up to them. So the Sun decided to create the Sunflower because it was the only way the worshiper could reach or praise the 2nd God. But the 1st God Moon decided that, that would not be enough because then their worshipers would only be worshiping the 2nd God sun. The flower could not be enough. It could not do it by itself. But they did it anyways they tried to make Mankind out of the sun flower. But the 1st God Moon was mad because he knew it was not going to work something was going to become wrong. Then something came to the 1st God he thought that if they made Mankind out of the Sunflower they would not have to worship them because they would already have a connection with the 2nd God. But the 1st God didn’t listen so he wrote down his idea on how Mankind was about to be created.
“The great leafs off the Sunflower would be used as the different Characteristics, personality, appearance and most of all the brain. The steam the back bone to everything how I shall put Mankind together. The core of the Sunflower is the heart. The great leafs off the steam are the 2 arms and the 2 legs that us Gods have at this moment. And the root if everything that is where we leave our mark but also their genetics”.
The 3rd God Cloud really didn’t put a lot of input because he was not the smartest one in the bunch. But he did have a very smart comment.
“If we make Mankind out of the same Sunflower all Mankind would look the same.”
So the 3rd God Cloud thought that they should make Mankind out of every different kind of flower
. (That is the reason why everyone looks [so different).They thought that, that was a great idea so they went along with it by putting their powers together. Now in India everyday new flower are planted and little children are born everyday. The moon comes out every night, the sun every morning, and the clouds fatefully.

Why there are apple trees
Long a go in the middle of Rome their was a kid named egar. Egar was a poor kid who really did not have anything. But one day he saw a shooting star and wished that one of the gods would give him a wish. So as he went to bed the most powerful Greek god of all had paid egar a visit, and said egar you have one wish what you could want in the whole world. Then egar said wow the most thing that I would want is apples because it is healthy and very delicious. So the Greek god cratios had gave egar his wish. Then cratios said what are your three favorite colors and egar said red green yellow. Then he said I will let you name those apples also. And egar said cool the red would be called Washington. The green would be called granny and the yellow would be called Macintosh. So now to this day we have apples and the names of those apples stay the same thanks to Egar.

Why There are Valcanoes
Have you ever wondered why there are volcanoes and why they erupt? Well there’s a long story behind its history. It all started about 15 million years ago when dinosaurs couldn’t find any food. See when this happened it caused them to fight over food so they usually fought each other. As they would fight each other and one or the other fell it would cause the land to come together. See volcanoes are made from evil spirit of hate and are still forming now. After dinosaurs went extinct there were cavemen and as you know they discovered fire. But in order to do it, it was very stressful and they became very impatient and anxious at night because it was very cold. They let evil spirits come out of them and it caused the volcano erupt. The cave people didn’t know what was happening, they thought the volcano was alive and the lava was blood. But they didn’t know that they were causing it to erupt from their evil spirit of anger and that it could possibly kill them. Thousands of years later they died because they build up too much anger and caused the volcano to erupt frequently.
In today world the volcano didn’t erupt as much as they usually do. Maybe it’s because people can handle their anger much better now. There are around 1500 volcano and about 70 erupt each year. Even though people can handle their stress more better there are still some evil spirits. There is more crime, the economy is bad and thieves. Volcano erupts when there is too much stress in a day so when it erupts it relieve stress. Now you know why volcano erupts and how they formed. It’s a way of letting people know that it’s a lot of bad things that goes on in this world. But most of them don’t erupt because we have people such as family and friends that can take our stress away.
texting myth
Cheyenne Hughes
Period:2
One day about five years ago, everybody use to talk on the phone. I know that you are saying that we did that already but just keep listening. There was a girl named Mindy Txtone. She used to talk on the phone all the time. From early morning to real late at night. When she went to school, the teachers could not get her get her off the phone. The teachers would threaten her with all type of punishment but she still did not care. After that, she would get in trouble but she still did not care and she still kept talking on the phone. Everybody in the town wanted to know whom she was talking too. She never told anybody. When she would talk on the phone, they would talk about everything. She was loud when she talked on the phone and that means that everybody knew her business without knowing her business. One night while Mindy was sleep, a fairy flew in to the room where Mindy was sleeping and sprinkled some kind of dust on her and flew out. One morning Mindy woke up and was not talking on the phone. Even when she went to school, she was not talking on the phone. Everyone was shocked. She walked around looking sad and down. Later that day found a new phone sitting next to her bed, had a key board on it, and there was a note sitting next to it the note said:
There is something called texting and I want you to try it.
All that time she was talking to her grandmother that was looking down on her from heaven. Now she texts her grandmother all the tin every day like she was talking on the phone. This is how texting started today
how thunderstorms happen
How thunder all started in the beginning!!!!!
Their was once a powerful man named god he made the world a perfect place until one of his angels was very violent disrespectful and bad so he had to get rid of him as a angel and put him in another world or dimension. So the bad angel called himself a devil so he made his own world called hell that is underground so who ever that is bad in life go to hell and they will get treated like hell and who ever is good go to heaven which that’s where good live at and they will be treated like kings, queens and their lives will be perfect. so when it thunderstorm god will be so frustrated with the devil and fight him until he wins which he always does but when the thundering stop for a little bit it means that the devil is on the ground begging for mercy so god say to the devil “don’t hurt me or my kids down their” so god is so kind that he let the devil go but he knows that the devil will come back and do the same thing. So when it stop thundering god feel relax and bad because he basically put his children down their with hate because thundering is a bad sigh for god. So for his forgiveness he put a rainbow to earth to show that he is sorry and that he tries to not do it again.

The Dean Family
Once upon a time there was family by the name of the Dean family. Everyone in the neighborhood knew the Dean family as a loving nice, peaceful family, but one day Doris and Kenneth Dean planned on having a baby and they named her Jennifer. When this child came out everybody had her because she was so beautiful and a nice little girl. When Jennifer got older and older her parents use to treat her like she was the best thing that happen to them, but once Jennifer became a teen something happen. Well on Jennifer’s fourteenth birthday she really didn’t get what she wanted because her parents thought that she had enough stuff and she didn’t need nothing else but little did they know she did not have enough. Also her parents stop doing for her like they stop letting her go places with her friends, stop letting her have boyfriends, and talking to her because they thought that she was just using them and getting to grown, but Jennifer thought up in her mind that her parents was mistreating her and misunderstanding her because she was a teen and that was the truth, but it was another reason behind that. The reason was that Doris was pregnant with another child and they didn’t have to worry about taking care of there teen because they was going to a have a new baby girl on the way.
why parents misunderstand their teenaged children
Many parents misunderstand their children because they believe they know everything because they went through it in life. They believe their life back in the day is kind of the same as our days now. Like they know how we feel and why we feel that way. If we get bad grades they think, they know why. For example, they will say the reason why you are getting bad grades is your friends, you and your friends talk too much or you do not study. I was the same way when I was your age. However, when you do study and do not talk to your friends they believe they know everything that goes on in our life. My myth is explaining my topic because when parents believe they know everything it makes them misunderstand how and what we go through can be different than what they went through back in their days. Many parents say that we should go to them for anything because they seem like they know all of the answers to our questions. They misunderstand us when we ask them for help like with problems that we go through outside of school and inside school, because they were a child before. They need to remember that many things have changed from their time to now. Therefore, it is hard for parents to know how we feel and what we go through. They may think they know but really do not know anything that is going on. Another example is my mom believes that she knows everything that my sister goes through because she had struggles around her age. My mom do knows some of the things that I go through but not all my reasons. I might I have different reasons why I do not study then their reasons. On the other hand, I might have different thoughts then theirs. Therefore, they can misunderstand us in so many ways.
Why do people have bald heads?
Legend tells that humans get their traditional bald heads from bald eagles. They say that if your hair starts to fall out it is a blessing from the great eagle god. Back in the ancient days if you were bald this was a lady magnet. Once their were an eagle named the great Binfrey Mazu. He flew over all the humans to watch over them. He was like a guardian. Every three times a year he would poop on a baby’s head and those that got pooped on would become successful. Over the time the blessing would wear off but before the great Binfrey Mazu died he was to bless two people that way his blessing would carry on forever. One day the people of the binfrey mazu tribe had a great year with out incident so they kill the great mazu and ate him. They called this day thanksgiving. Till this day I have tried or wanted to touch people bald head but they are very protective of who they let touch it and they get very offended. All my family have got their blessing by touching the blessed bald one’s but me. I tried to touch my coach but he busted off my and I can’t touch my teacher cause he got my grade. What shall I do? I know ima wait till I graduate.

MYTHS
Once there was a land full of nothing but sky and water. In the sky was a man who could walk on clouds. He was the protector of his creation the birds and there was another creature the fish created by a mermaid who was the healer of the fish. One day the protector found that he had a new power by getting angry at the birds for cutting through his clouds. He got so mad his arm swelled up and a yellow substance came out his hand. The substance made a chirping noise and when he threw it, it made an even bigger noise like a whale splashing in the water which it was called “dead light” when you hear the boom you know someone died. The mermaid told him not to use that power any more because it disturbs the fish and kills birds he said “I don’t care about your fish but about my birds they need to learn a lesson.” The mermaid saw that the birds were dying from drowning in the ocean as well. So since she couldn't convince him to stop the “dead light”, she put the ground from the water up to the surface and caught the birds. The man said "if you want to protect them so bad then they should be your problem not mine." He created one more bird that was very obedient towards anyone, but it looked kind of stupid so he gave him a stupid name "dodo bird". the mermaid also created birds for the new land so they couldn't fly but they could adapt to their surroundings unlike the others.The mermaid gave up her fins for legs to nurture the birds like a mother which is what they called her "mother nurture" before she died she made creatures to take care of the other animals which were called humans. They mispronounced her name and called her "mother nature". The man in the sky lived on and kept striking the dodo birds until there were none left. Then he learned how dangerous he really was, so he decided to only use that power when the rain pored, in memory of the mermaid, and turned a dangerous tool into a vision and sound of art. later because of the beautiful light the humans called it lightning and because of it's thunderous sound they called it thunder. The humans lived on and the rest is history.
Why do we have to do homework?
There was once a girl named Amy who one day asked grandfather why did she have to do homework? Amy explained to her grandfather that she didn’t like doing it because it was a waste of time and it took away time from her watching her cartoons. The grandfather said “Amy what do you want to be when you get older?” Amy answered “a princess”, well let me tell you a story the grandfather said. There was once a little girl who always wanted to be a princess when she grew up, she wanted to live a fairy tale life with a handsome prince in a divine castle. Her mom and dad always told her if she wanted to be a beautiful princess she would have to do well in school and always do her homework. Day by day went and the girl still didn’t want to do any homework, so one night the girl had a dream. The girl dreamt that she was the most beautiful goddess ever and she bragged how she became good looking without doing homework. So one day a witch cast a spell on the girl and with a bolt of lightning the girl’s face became ugly and she wailed over and over how she should have listened to her parents and did her homework. “Amy, Amy wake up” her mom said “your having a bad dream”. Amy woke up, she was crying hysterically with sweat covering her whole body. “ Mommy, daddy “ the girl said, I’m going to do my homework everyday now because I learned that it is very important do well in school so I can become a smart princess”. So from that day on the girl did ever homework assignments she had and later on she became a beautiful princess and lived with her prince in their divine castle. “So Amy do you see why doing your homework is important”? “ Yes grandpa I do, so now I’m going to do my homework everyday so I can become a smart princess and live with a prince in a divine castle, just lie that girl did.

If I could go anywhere in the world I would go to Hawaii. I would go to Hawaii because it is very hot fun and there are a lot of things to do there. Hawaii is a very beautiful place and I would love to spend my whole life there. If I were in Hawaii I think I would be living a fantastic life with all of the beautiful flowers and pretty beaches. If I went on a trip to Hawaii I would bring nothing but summer clothes and buy a lot of water. I will enjoy myself! I would take my whole family and make sure we are all ready to have fun with a positive attitude it will be our own little family reunion.
Young Experience With Education
When I was younger I really liked Mathematics a lot. I have really never liked Reading and Language Arts and all that but all my teachers always asked me why didn't I like to read, and I would say it's not that I don't like it, it's just that I don't favor it. My teachers at my elementary school recommended me to read to Kindergarteners on Suess-A-Palooza day and my principal sat in on it and said I was an excellent reader and that me and this other boy were the best readers in this school and then at a lot of my schools my teachers told me the same things. I would like to be able to suggest some books to read.
School
As you may know its your boy theo telling you whats going on and how it's going down. School been going well for me this year unlike last year because last year i was real lazy and didnt want to do my work or come to school.

The Issues About School To Me!!!
1. The dress code.
2. The phone policy.
3. Its too many females here.
4. It’s not enough space here.
5. Delete the middle school.
6. Better school lunches.
7. Bathroom passes.
8. Security is tripping-hall sweeps.
The dress code was a little better last year, because we were able to wear leggings but now we can’t with our shorts and skirts. The phone policy is ridiculous because if your phone drops out your pocket it shouldn’t be taken and at 1st we were able to get them at the end of the period instead of the end the day. It’s not enough space in this school because hallways are too packed. To get more space we should delete the middle school. The school lunches as the same everyday and we need a variety. We should be able to have bathroom passes because sometimes it’s an emergency. The passing periods don’t be long enough to do everything. The security now is crazy because as soon as the bell rings they be on it (to give you a definition). All the issues I just explained needs to be changed.
2. The phone policy.
3. Its too many females here.
4. It’s not enough space here.
5. Delete the middle school.
6. Better school lunches.
7. Bathroom passes.
8. Security is tripping-hall sweeps.
The dress code was a little better last year, because we were able to wear leggings but now we can’t with our shorts and skirts. The phone policy is ridiculous because if your phone drops out your pocket it shouldn’t be taken and at 1st we were able to get them at the end of the period instead of the end the day. It’s not enough space in this school because hallways are too packed. To get more space we should delete the middle school. The school lunches as the same everyday and we need a variety. We should be able to have bathroom passes because sometimes it’s an emergency. The passing periods don’t be long enough to do everything. The security now is crazy because as soon as the bell rings they be on it (to give you a definition). All the issues I just explained needs to be changed.

Chelsea's Fashion
I love fashion. Fashion is one of the key things in life to me other than education . How I dress it is so crazy. I have to match everything. I have to match my shoes, jeans, shirt, bangles, and earrings. If I put a pony tail in my hair I also have to match my hair ribbons and hair balls with my outfit.Oh my belt too. I like to wear bright colors and also like to wear things to bring out my tone. The title of my style is, "STOOPID FRUITY KRAZZI SWAG." People might have heard this phrase before but i put my style in that spot. I give my style this title because I wear my bangles and earrings everyday and they have to match. I like to throw alot of colors together that you cant even think about that could even match but it does. I love how I dress and some other people think the same and some people don't but hey i dont need their opinion.

E- cigarette
E-Cigarette
For millions of Americans smoking is a bad habit to quiet. Some Americans try different techniques from over the counter medication, gum, nicotine patches, all the way to hypnosis. But all this could be over with E-Cigarette. Which is an electronic cigarette device that provides the nicotine individuals crave, but with nun of the chemicals and tar that come wit typical cigarettes.
As a teenager one of the worse habits to pick up is smoking. I started smoking in the beginning of my sophomore school year. I remember that I couldn’t wait till school ended just so that I could go out and smoke. Smoking took over a lot of my life I had to smoke a cigarette before and after school. I always knew that danger of smoking but didn’t pay much attention to it.
I decided to stop smoking in the summer before my senior year. I would stop smoking for a couple days but always got back to that old habit. I kept going on and off the whole summer. And even right now I keep going on and off. I never knew how hard stopping could actually be. But with the E-Cigarette I think could keep smoking but with nun of the dangers. I don’t think I could ever stop smoking because I do enjoy smoking but don’t want it to be the thing that kills me.

Interview with a Wicca
Rafeeq Burton
Christa Lonnes
Rafeeq Burton: “How did you get involve in the craft of Wicca?”
“What was your first spell you cast?”
“Do you have or belong to a coven?”
“What is your area of expertise?”
“Are you open about your powers?”
“Have you ever used Wicca in an act of revenge?’
“Do you plan on teaching your children about Wicca?”
Christa Lonnes: “Actually my mom’s sides for about four generations were practitioners of Wicca... so you could say I inherited it.
My first spell was actually a sleep endusing spell. I couldn’t get to sleep and it was a few weeks after my mom told me about the whole Wicca things, and so I tried an incantation from her book.
I do belong to a coven, as all real Wicca’s should. Magic and spells are more powerful and more helpful if done in folds of two or greater.
If by expertise you mean my area of my magic? I am really good at dream spells and dream enhancing potions, like my great grandmother Dolores Lonnes she was looked at in her village as the dream sorcerer, so maybe that’s me as well.
Not as much as you are. I am a tad bit unsure of how people will take it and I don’t have as much attitude and self confidence as you does freakee (smiley face)
Not now… hopefully not ever I believe man already has enough power to use at their disposal, their better off thinking we’re nut jobs and cheap magicians then to use our power in ware fares
Honestly I have thought about that question and I don’t want to. Although I love being a witch I felt like a part of my life was taken from me and already written off a part I couldn’t control, something, (I didn’t necessarily have to do, but something I at least I had to try, I owed my mother and her mother that much.) I wan to let my kids grow up and reach an age to see if their open to the idea and have this apart of them and accept the responsibilities of being a Wicca

New Season New Expectations
The Uplift Titans basketball team ended the 2008-2009 basketball season with big expectations for the next year. Last season the team was in the blue north a conference in which they went (8-1) and finished second in the conference. They also won a regional championship in the state playoffs, and were this close to winning sectionals. No one in the city expected us to win because we were a new school which gave us really low expectations coming into last year. Going into the season we had a big chip on our shoulders because everyone expected us to lose. We worked hard everyday in practice because we knew that we had something to prove to ourselves and all of our doubters. We had three seniors last year Misgna Paulos, Richard Samuels, and Sened Tesfay who all contributed very big to the team last season. Misgna was the best player on the team last year and the leading scorer, Richard was the big man in the middle who gave us a post presence, and Sened was the heart and soul of the team who inspired everyone to give a little more. With the new season coming up we will miss those guys a lot, but we can not dwell on the past other players just have to steptheir game up and make up for the parts we will be missing. This year we are going up to a new conference the Red North, and we expect to win because this is something we really want. As long as we stay focused and continue to work hard we will have a great season exactly like we expect.

First Impressions
My first impressions on this class is that it's goin to be easy, compared to my previous english clases because the work was always easy but with this english class it seems real different. Also my other impressions is that the cursing policy is real ridicoulous because sometimes people can make you real mad at times and that will cause you to bring the bad side out. Also i realized that this class is filled with a bunch of goofy kids that love cracking jokes and being class clowns .

Music Review:Gucci Mane,OJ da juiceman
Ay okay that’s what you hear when OJ hits the speakers, and don’t forget the bobbing of the head when you hear the Gucci. Question is why are they so hot these days people you know well basically any and everybody doesn't matter race nor color even parents are singing their songs so you know it must be something wrong laugh out loud. But what I what to know is why are people listening to them is it because the beat of the bass or is it how they rhyme so tight. The reason why they caught my eye was because the way they rap and dress i listen to them like everyday and if they keep making music like they are now they should be in the game for a real long time. I'm wondering what would happen if they both came to uplift homecoming the kids would go so crazy and i know that it would be cracking. I also know some teachers in the school be listening to them also and they have these words that they got us saying like ay, okay, burr and, so icey
School Issues!!!
In Uplift ther are alot o fissues with the teens, such as: he say she say, my best friend went out with my ex-boydfriend, she was messing around with my boyfriend, she was talking stuff behind my back...all that causes problems. Uplift has alot of different situations with different "Clicks" (every click has a problem with somebody in the school. alot of people in this school bring outside situations and problems at home inside the school, which affects how they react with their school work and towards other students. To me that's a problem because people be fighting for stupid reasons, like instead of just jumping to conclusions every time you hear something you could just talk to the person about the situation( although sometimes people lie) but all this fighting is for nothing. Some schools have low academic scores because alot of kids get suspended and expelled for something that they could've avoided, and some even drop out. students here at Uplift be more focused on the problems then they are their school work which is another problem. They be focused more on who has the best clothes and the best shoes, when in reality that doesn't make a difference nor should that matter.

THE CHILLS OF THE ABYSS
Texas Austin, June 6, 2006
On June 6, 2006, A Towns Resident Saw A White Figure In The Dirt Lying
By A State Road Named 666. He Walked Towards The White Object, And Sithered
His Hand Over The Minuscule Concealed White Object Brushing All Of The Grimy, And
Grimness Off Of It. In The Late Cold Night Of Frisky Air, He Let Out The Ill Fainted
Yell That A Baby Bird Would Cry When It Is Calling For Its Mom. He Backed Away From
The Skeleton's Dead Torso, Staring At The Eyes Of Its death. He Was In So Much Shock
That He Ran In The Abyss Of The Forest. He Ran Vey Swiftly Through The Vines, Sticks,
Branches, Leaves, Gravel, Rocks And Etc. He stopped In The Forest, And He Had A
Sudden Breath Of Shock. A Whisper Of A Object Whistled A Demonic Squeal By His ear,
And Landed Loudly In A Wood Like Substance. He Looked Around, And Saw A Arrow That
Hit A Tree. Then He Ran Passed The Leaves, And Ran with A Blazing Urge Of Suddle-
ness. He Looked To His Left, And Saw A Large Figure. He Dropped To The Ground, And
Slipped Into A log. He Kept Quiet, And Never Would Make A Sound. He Heard Nothing
, And Peeped His Head Outside Of A Log Thinking The Coast Was Clear. He Made A
Jolt For The Woods Of The Abyss, And At That Very Instant He Heard The Same Demonic
Squeal That He Had Heard Earlier. It WAs Another Sharp, Cold, Arrow. He Felt Cold,
Suddle, And Weak Inside, Then He Looked Down, And Noticed That It WAs Too Late. He
Had Got HIt By THe Arrow Of A Cold Sudden Jolt Of Doom....And With That..... He
Heard THe Dreadful Howl Of THe Cannibal Rushing Towards Him With A Empty Stomach So
He Took His Last, and Final Breath, And Fell To His DeatHHHH.
