The Cube A short story be Celeste Cosio

In late June five days before school was about to end of school a teenage girl named Elana curiosities got her into some trouble. She had gotten an F on a project and had to spend the weekend with her grandma. Hey driving around the nabor hood looking for yard sales witch is something so very boring to a fourteen year old. They came across an old womans house so they got out to look around for anything good. Her grandma said they could not leave until Elana had picked something out for herself. She picked up an old hevy cube and handed it to the woman in charge. They woman mysteriously said “that’s was a great find and you know that cube has one scary story to go along with it”. “great I lucked out with a rusty old cube” Elana sacaticly replied. Since it was Sunday she headed home and as she walked in her room she carelessly tossed the cube into the small trash can in her room. Early in the morning she woke up to see that old cube on he r dressor. She did not care much and started to walk to school. Half way there she met up with a friend of hers named Rechelle. Rechelles a real pretty and outgoing girl. Every day at school is the same like lame classes, boy problems, and drama but then again what’s new? Her two friends allways meet up at her house after school to talk and kind of do some homework. Elana lives directly next to the woods and has a view from her window. Bella another good friend of Elana started to mess around with cube when she noticed there seems to be something inside but there’s no opening! They all really wondered what was inside so they went to the shed to get an axe. I lightly hit it hoping nothing would brake inside and it broke instantly. A small crumpled paper rolled out and a unusual stone key fell out. Rechelle started to read the paper that said “Only one who’s curiosity controlled them will go looking for the occult tunnels, this key will lead you there”. Elana yells what the heck is the occult tunnels and what’s is mean? Bella run up to my room to Google what it meant an what showed up for the occult was “magic or supernatural forces and events, and related practices”. Rechelle said with a not impressed voice “I wont believe it till I see it”. “ Well then tomorrow we can got to the library and look more deeper into this mystery” said Elana The next day I the afternoon they went to look for some clues and they ran into an old man who said “that’s an old tale from when he was little that a couple of people kids about 7-15 had gotten into some un Christ like practices and started to dig tunnels under the ground and a year later they kids went missing with no sign of what took them but they hid the opening to the tunnels witch is believed to start in the woods”. Bella got an idea that they need to find these tunnels and see what’s inside so they could possibly find what happened to the kids who went missing. They packed a small bag in case something went wrong inside the bag was the key, letter, water, knife, flash light, and liters and some candles. Rechelle also brought some waki talkies and extra batteries. They headed on into the woods and 20 minutes into looking Elana tripped and tumbled in to a hard leaf coved wall. Bella cut all the leafs off the wall and behind it was a cold stone wall. Engraved into the wall were the words the occult tunnels. The fit perfectly and the door swung right open right away there were three ways to go so they decided to split up and just use the waki takes to communicate. The deeper you got the colder and mysterious it got. Bella ran into a spirit that was chasseing her and kept yelling random spells. She was terrified and started to head back when she thought she herd Rechelle calling for she kept going thinking she would find her a strong stench got worse and worse she found a room with nothing but dead forest animals. Bella suddenly fell into a well of dirty water and tried to keep her head above the water. Meanwhile Rechelle came to a room filled with candles she stared to light each of them when she fined a mysterious force field trapped her in it. Elana kept walking and tried communicating with her friends but no one replied but she was so curious and need to find out what this was so she kept on going until she came to a stop when she heard someone singing. She followed the melody and found a group of kids huddled tighter they all turned around at the same time and pointed at and yelled it a trap, Elana woke up in a cage that made of wood it had a stone key and a letter that said your curiosity controls you.

my short story

That was a good story, but you need to correct some spelling- Ez

Draft 5/27/14 Photo shopped models lower peoples self-esteem and cause people to expect good looks from everyone. Making models look perfect when that’s not how they really look makes people feel like they are not beautiful or good enough. Same goes for boys they see these big muscular guys in ads and on television and feel the need that they need to look like that. This is not okay it effects people. Companies need to stop photo shopping their models and use the original image. Girls are effected a lot these skinny flawless models lower their selfasteem. Girls starve themselves and feel insecure about them self. The point is to make these girls feel this way so they will buy the product and that’s the solution to looking good. But that’s not the case! The Dove Self-Esteem Fund did a study and found out that 80% of women felt that models and female celebrities make them feel insecure about themselves. It’s not just girls whose self-esteem lowers boys have feelings to! TV has all those ads with strong muscular guys telling the viewer they can look just like him in three months. Music videos have the singer all buff surrounded by pretty girls. Obviously the key to what every guy wants is to look good. One easy way to get muscles is steroids. Steroids are horrible for you and sometimes guys use them just so they can look like all the other people and fit in. It’s all about seeing people that have what you don’t have. We see these strong people everywhere TV, magazines, media, and most of all advertisement. When people see these pictures they wonder why everyone doesn’t look like this. The media practically set unrealistic standards for girls, boys, men, and women all over the world. Guys want girls who look like models and girls want guys that look buff. It’s like a stereotype that applies to everyone, because people actually think that people should look like this. No one’s self esteem should be brought down by fake images of models. It’s ok to have models and strong people in commercials but they should not have to take drugs or be photo shopped just so it can catch the eyes of people. Everyone’s perfect the way they are and no one should be able to bring anyone down.

Should Young People Eat Fast Food? 5.14.14

Young people should limit their consumption of fast food because it affects them in the long run. People who eat fast food a lot at a young age are at risk of getting heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, several types of cancer, and osteoarthritis.6 in the future. There are studies that show you are mostly likely to be obese in the future if you are obese at least the age two.

These are only immediate health effects. This really takes an impact on your life because it affects your daily life. For example getting addicted to fast food causes bone and joint problems, sleep apnea, and social and psychological problems such as stigmatization and poor self-esteem. In the past 20-25 years

America is most known for having over weight and unhealthy people. At least 60% of Americans do not exercise and almost 4000 deaths a year are caused by obesity. Good tastes and catchy commercials draw in customers to eat fast food. In one whole day around the world McDonald’s feeds 4 million people.

Some people can just not afford to cook food with brings them into the dollar menu. 40% of average Americans eat out. On the other hand people just become addicted to fast food when you should absolutely never have fast food. If you ask me I think we live in a toxic environment witch means we live around to many fast food places.

Teens need vitamins and minerals to function because right now it’s important because our bodies are changing and we are growing. Because we eat way more than they used to and way more than they need to we take in more calories in than our bodies can burn. You gain the weight so much faster than you lose it, it takes vary long to get rid of your weight. There are so many better foods for you to eat then fast food. All you honestly need to stay fit, away from fast food, and healthy is to maintain healthy eating and physical activities.

5.6.14 Life as an Animal

I wake up to the sun as I’m laying in the fork of my tree. I had just had a baby joey about the size of a jellybean and right now it is furless, earless, and blind because they are born that way. The baby does nothing but sit in my pouch all day. I actually live in a eucalyptus tree and that’s also what I eat witch is the eucalyptus leafs. I eat 2 and a half pounds of eucalyptus leafs a day which means I sort of spend a lot of time eating.

The rest of the day I sleep. I spend up to eight-teen hours sleeping only in the day time. I am a female so I live longer than males because they are most likely to live up to ten years. There’s not to many of us because there’s a major decline of us so its hard to find others to reproduce and in some areas there are a lot of traffic accidents and dog attacks. Witch makes is hard to survive in areas where this happens. Luckily I don’t live where those things happen witch has let me live up to the age of eight years old.

Not too much worries in my life I also run out food so I have to find other trees that are not already taken by an animal or something else. My day is over and it goes by fast.

Welcome to Imiddle, our school is great. We have the best teachers and staff. We are happy we have a new principal for you to bring new ideas to our school to make our school even more fabulous than it already is. I think your favorite thing about our school will be how enthusiastic we are and how much effort we put into our school work. I hope you enjoy being at our school.

There’s not to much wrong about our school we have the basic problems any school has. I hope you enjoy your future at imiddle.

3/24/14“The Road Not Taken “BY ROBERT FROST

The poem “The Road Not Taken “BY ROBERT FROST to me means there are times in life when we have to make choices and we can never go back to that time and change our choice. We all do what’s right for us unlike doing what everyone else does and taking the road everyone else takes. I think this is the meaning because if he went the other way he could not go back and fix that. This I my evidence “I shall be telling this with a sigh somewhere ages and ages hence two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference”. This poem sends a good message to follow what you think is right for you. Also tells us not to be like everyone else and just be yourself because everyone’s unique. I like that it puts the message in a different perspective. Instead of taking the easy road he took a challenge and took the high road.

3/18/14A new "biblioteca" puts the accent on tech The article “A new "biblioteca" puts the accent on tech” is about how a library went book free and made all the books online. The library also gives out free tablets to barrow for people who have no internet access at home. Readers check out books on their devices over the Internet from wherever they are witch means U.S. soldiers can even download books from where ever they are. The main information is that “A number of ambitious projects are happening in the U.S. and other countries. They focus on scanning in records, manuscripts and books, and making them available online. The Digital Public Library of America and the World Digital Library make treasures, such as early 16th-century religious writings from Ethiopia, available to the world. The Digital World Library just reached its 10,000th entry last week”. I chose this article because I can learn about what’s new and how this will now spared all over the USA and other places all over the world.

3/17/14 More and more students suffer from anxiety The article “More and more students suffer from anxiety” is about how students have too much school work and receive bad grades and then are punished from their parents. It takes a lot out of students to keep their grades up because we are expected of too much from our teachers and parents. The article was sending the message to inform us that “Educators are seeing more and more students suffering from depression, anxiety and social phobia. A social phobia is an uncontrollable anxiety about social situations. And mental illness is striking ever younger children, they say. Many students quietly bear the pressure for years before snapping”. This affects many students in America.

=News Article Summary and Citation #2= The article “Whale watchers from outer space” is about scientists looking for a faster and cheaper way to keep count of whales and is turning to satellites to do this. There are not to many whales left and by seeing what areas they are in can help give us an idea. Because of this reason, their numbers of whales dropped from a whaling population of 55,000-70,000 to just 300 by the 1920s. They say that using satellites are not a perfect way to keep count of them because other objects could be mistaken as a whale.

They are not sure if this is terrorism or a plane crash. We only know that there were two fake passports and we saw large debre close to where they lost contact with the plane. They think that the people with fake passports crashed the plane “Just because they were stolen doesn’t mean the travelers were terrorists,” the Homeland Security source cautioned. “They could have been nothing more than thieves. Or they could have simply bought the passports on the black market.”

3/3/14 Review Of The Outsiders From my own prospective I think The Outsiders was the most deep, personal, meaningful book I have read. It showed a caring strong relationship between the greacers. They are changing more and more through the whole book about being who you want to be. The struggle they face and adjust themselves to shows the strength in them instead of who they live up to being tough greacers. I thought it was meaning full sending a message to stay gold aka saying to stay young for as long as you can because the greacers sort of mostly take care of themselves witchy leaves them with responsibility’s. I think adding that at the end made that saying “stay golden” stick with you.

2/27/14 Two years from now

Two years from now on the 27th I will be going to school at Madison High school and I will be in 9th grade. I’ll be at school going to all my classes and hanging out with all the same friends I had in seventh grade. It’s a cold wet day and I’m upset because my hair is getting ruined right after I just did my hair for the day. I can’t wait to go to my fourth period class because that class is math. Just like I liked math then I like math now. After school I hang with my friends like always. I feel grown up and mature because i9 have good grades. I’m 15 and I play high school softball with my friends Emily, Dooga, and Bella. I'm happy in the future.

2/26/14 My F in GTT

I’m going to be in huge trouble I have an F in gtt. This morning the period before this one I found out I have an F so now I’m doing whatever I can to get my grade up. If my parents find out I will not be allowed to go anywhere and I will get my phone taken away. I’m so disappointed in myself. I had six assignments and I only got an F on one of them all though all they other assignments where an A.

1/25/14 Monkey Paw

"The Monkey's Paw," Sergeant Major Morris foreshadows the bad fortune brought by the monkey’s paw. Him giving them the clues that it’s not a good idea use it leads to death. "But I warn you of the consequences" is what the Sergeant says when White asks how to make wishes. He also added in that he though the monkey paw was bad luck and he wanted to burn it.

// 2/19/14 The Host & The Hunger Games //

The book //The Host// compared to the book //The Hunger Games//. I chose these two books because they are both similar the main subject in these books is rebel. The districts from the hunger games ha to stand up agents the capital because they are worthless and are made to fight in in battle to show them whose boss. In The Host aliens take over human’s body and people start to hide and the aliens try to find them but the humans do whatever they can do to keep humans alive. Also both of the books are in the future and are very dramatic. I think the message in the book is that people every where have a voice and can stand up and work together.

2/18/14 Sixth Grade & Seventh Grade

Sixth grade and seventh grade vary two totally different things. In sixth grade for me was a lot harder and we did not have passing periods. In seventh we have to go class to class and for me it’s a lot easier to be organized and get good grades. Also seventh grade there’s a lot more expected of you because you’re older and should be more responsible, organized and experienced. Sixth grade is more or less interactive but this may be because I went to a sixth grade elementary school. Things that are the same about these grades is that they both get taught the same things but the higher grade you get the more complicated it gets. Your also learning the same subjects but there’s not to much that sixth grade and seventh grade have in common. I like seventh grade a lot more than I like sixth grade.

2/6/14 The Song Let it Go

The song Let It Go from the movie Frozen by Demi Lavato is a motivating song. It’s about not being able to be yourself and having to hide your innersole from everyone. In the end she does not want to hide anymore and lets it go. Part of the song when she decides to be herself is when she says this “Let it go Let it go  Can’t hold you back anymore Let it go Let it go  Turn my back and slam the door And here I stand, and here I'll stay Let it go Let it go  The cold never bothered me anyway” I think this song is powerful and sends a strong motivating message to be yourself no matter how hard it is not to want to let people judge you. The point of the song is to be yourself.

A bronco is a type of horse or just another name for horse. They are like the type of horses from a rodeo that bull rider’s ride. They are strong and powerful just like the team. The logos are dark blue, orange, and white the same colors as the team colors they ware. The broncos have had this selected logo since 1967 they have had it like this for 47 years. This is my favorite logo in the NFL.

I live in San Diego and Albuquerque New Mexico because me and my fiancé make a lot of money for us to do those things. I am a hard worker I work from 7:30 to 3:00. I motivate my kid to get good grades because it’s important for their future. We throw football party’s on the weekend and invite close friends over for food. My daughter will play softball at Claremont Girls Fast Pitch. I will also coach her team because I play softball right now. Also I would put her in art classes like painting and drawing.

One of my goals for semester two is working hard on my assignments like essays, journals, and everything else. My goal is to get an A because I know that if I focus on my work and understand what I need to do I could get a high score and earn my grade. Also we get a lot of homework so doing it every night is important. I do not want to get any missing assignments because that alleyway really brings your grade down a lot. I think essays are most important because they are usually worth a lot of points. I honestly think I stayed on top of my game last semester. I came out with a regular B but I was happy with my grade because in don’t want to be greedy. I think I will be fine this next second semester. I did all my assignments and tried my best at everything I did in my English class. This semester will be just as good as last semester. All though this semester I have higher goals and exceptions for myself this year.

Do you have friends whose social, ethnic, or economic backgrounds differ from yours? How do these conditions affect your relationship? No my friends and I have the same economic background. We all live in the same area with the same size houses and not a lot of money but we have nice things. We have no problems because we have things in common.

To what extent does a person’s environment determine their success and happiness? Is it possible to overcome your environ- meant? If so, how? Living in a foster home can be hard and living around people on drugs and drinking. It is possible to overcome this because you can focus on the good thing and does things that make you happy as if you’re liked to paint then you could spend time painting. Focusing on school to get good grades because school is fun and important. How is a gang like a family? It’s like your family because they know you well. They also care about you and have your back. It’s a group of similar people that are just together. You all so have good and bad times with each other and sometimes don’t get along.

What do you think it takes to make someone a hero? I think is takes a brave person who is caring and would do something crazy to fix/help someone.

What is your definition of an “outsider?” I think it means someone unlike anyone else someone who is away from others and is just them self.



1/9/14 Keep School Sports Essay

Celeste Cosio

Per 3 1/9/2014

Imagine a high school with no sports there is no school spirit, no Friday night football games to look forward to. Now most kids are out of shape with nothing but about one hour of P.E a day to keep them in shape. There is a big empty lot with nothing there when there could be tennis courts or a beautiful football field that the whole community could enjoy. Most kids are too lazy on their IPhones and X-box 1 to get up and exercise. Do you think it’s okay to have an empty spotless school?

Schools are thinking about taking school sports away and we need to know if this is the wrong thing to do. Taking away sports could be taking away students help to keep them calm. Schools think that it’s going to get better if sports are taken away. Schools think this will help the students and the school with money. School sports should stay sports are an antidote for kids struggling in school.

One item that supports No to get rid of sports is that sports calm kids down about worrying about school in the first paragraph It claims that a student was worried about a big test then they remembered that they had track practice in the morning and that was her sanity. Being a school student that this day and age is very hard it causes stress and by playing sports school stress gets of their mind and kids can focus. Physical actives can be an antidote.

People say schools should get rid of sports because the school will save money for funding the sports. Students could do fun risers for the money that people play for snakes and tickets do not make up for. In some schools that they toke sports away most of the student’s grades rose and more kids graduated. I think that put more pressure on kids because most sports also keep kids out of trouble.

School sports cannot be taken away because they are more important than ever. It keeps kids calm, focused, and healthy. Remember that taking away school sports could mean an empty school with not as much happiness and nothing to look forward to after school.

1) The meanest thing Scrooge does in act one is when he is mean to the ghost of his dead co-worker and when he says he will have the men who do not pay him back he will make them go to jail. I think he is over reacting because he already has so much money and all he cares about is money.

2) Jacob Marley was Scrooges old co-worker or his side-kick who died. When he was alive he seemed to be not the nicest person because he tells Scrooge that he will have long chains if he does not change.

3) Scrooge visits when he was a young boy on his past Christmas when he had no friends and stayed inside reading books. One happy moment is when his dad sort of forgives him and they leave from where he was living all his life. I think he is mean and can’t love because he was never loved and no one cared for him. He also goes back to when he’s lover releases him because he went marry her because she has no money. That’s why he thinks it’s dumb to marry someone who does not bring anything to the marriage.

4) The human visitors that visit him at the beginning of the act are his nephew. Similarities of all the visitors are that they are all trying to help Scrooge be a better person or to change for the better. His attitude tortes others is rude, mean, and hateful which is why he says humbug a lot.

5) Scrooge values money, it’s what comes first in life to him so he loves his job. He is not a happy man because he is not nice to others he needs to treat people the way he wants to be treated.

6) The hints that show he will change is when he does not want him and tiny Tim to die so he knows he has to change. I think people can change because Scrooge did after one Christmas eve night he gives to the poor and becomes happy man and is respectful to everyone.

12/16/13

The Christmas carol compared to The Grinch.

Both the Grinch and Scrooge do not like Christmas and are mean and stinging. They have a child figure they start to care about deeply. People do not like these characters because they and mean. They also had a young love that left them because they do not have respect like when the Grinch trashes the Christmas class room. Also when scrooge says he would not marry a woman with no money.

Through the movie they start to change and they like Christmas. They do good deeds and help the community. Everybody accepted them no matter how the past was. They become good people and have a family.

12/10/13 Thought the movie Scrooge changes which is a big part that’s very noticeable. At first all he does is frown and give dirty looks to people and is rude. Right when the movie started three poor boys asked for money and Scrooge barked at them no witch sent the three boys running away. When the first ghost came he treated her rude and grumpy. He hates the poor and thinks they should go to a prison or work house because he does not want to give money to them. In the middle he started to have mixed emotions of Christmas present. When he sees how happy his co-worker Crochet is with his large family yet they have little food. He starts to feel bad when he asks the ghost of Christmas present if his co-workers son Tiny-Tim will live because he has polio the ghost reply’s with I see a vacant chair at the table. He starts to feel bad because then the ghost says only if something changes he can live. Then the ghost of Christmas future comes who says nothing at all and all he does is show him the horrible future. Scrooge treats him with respect and is very nice to him when he finds out that him and tiny-Tim die he is so sad. After he wakes up on Christmas day he is very happy and jumpy and grateful he goes and buys a large bird for his co-workers family he gives the poor money and is a nice grateful man who is changed.

12/9/13

A Christmas Carol and The Pearl both have many similarities. One of them is how both of these stories revolve around money. In these two stories they both have children close to death unless it’s changed with money. In each story there is a rich selfish man. These men in these stories do not favor poor people. The doctor calls the Indians animals like they are not human and Scrooge thinks the poor should go to prison and work houses because they are not like him.

There death in both of these stories’ like how baby Kioyotito dies at the end of the book and when the ghost of Scrooges co-worker comes to warn him. The rich people in both of them are mean and selfish at least most of the people. For two totally different stories’ they have a lot of similarities.

12/7/13 Scrooge is a cheap self-centered man. All he believes in is the success of money. His work comes first. At the beginning of the movie his first imprison to me was when how he was to cheap to put coal in the fire to make his office warm. Scrooge’s nephew is not in his favor because he married a woman with no money and Scrooge insults him because of that. When asked to give to the poor he responds with “is there no prisons?” he thinks Christmas is a waste of money on gifts and does not give to the poor even though he is a wealthy man. He is a man that does not believe in anything when a ghost of his old partner comes he acts like it’s a joke and is rude to him. He’s protective and does not trust many people because when he heard a noise he ran to the door and he had three large locks on it. He’s rudely sarcastic when he was told about the three ghosts coming he’s goes I’m very busy can they all come at once?

10/24/13 In the story Monkey paw I think that the next part will be when something goes wrong. Someone will wish for something bad and every this will go wrong. They will wish for death or something bad like that. This is my hypnosis of what will happen next in the story. But somehow there will be a solution.

10/22/13 1. What is Victor’s goal in creating the creature? In what ways does he succeed and fail? Victor’s goal is to recreate life but more beautiful. He succeed in binging the dead back to life but he fails by losing sight of the monster and not having it under control.

2. The creature claims, “Only misery made me a fiend.” What does he mean? Do you agree? Explain. Fiend means evil so he’s trying to say he was depressed and that caused him to become evil. Yes ,I agree because the way you feel and cause you to act a currant way.

3. Mr. De Lacey says, “Most people are friendly—unless they are blinded by prejudice.” What prejudice does the creature face? What does the play say about the effect of prejudice? I think the prejudge is that just because he looks like a monster does not mean he acts like one and means you should not judge a book by its cover.

4. Why does the creature want a companion like himself? Do you agree with Victor’s refusal to create one? Explain. Because he wants to be with someone like himself to understand him so they know how he feels. No, I don’t agree with Victors refusal to make another one because its cruel and it makes him lonely.

5. Was it justifiable for the creature to murder Victor’s loved ones as a means of revenge? Explain. I don’t think it was good for frankinstin to murder them all though they treated him that way to.

The purpose of English class is to teach us how to spell and write correctly. What we learn now will help us in the future. How will this help us you say? This will help us when applying for a job, when writing reports in high school, in collage. Maybe you might even get a job where all you do is write that’s why its good to pay attention in class.

My favorite subjects are math science and English in my future I would like to find a good paying job that have those three things involved in it. Or maybe a job where I can write about servant topics in a magazine.

English is one of my favorite classes. Something I have all was liked in school was writing. In my English class at the moment I have a “B” witch is a pretty good grade. I’m happy with my grade. My citizen ship grade in English is an “E” witch is a really good grade. My favorite subject is English so if I was to get a better grade in this class I would be really proud of myself. I think I am a good student in English because I do all of my homework and finish and complete all my class assignments. I enjoy doing my classwork and I love working with the big apple computers. Over all I think I am doing good in English.
