Alexa's homework page Goal terms My short term goal is to get my grades up. Why is it short term? First of all the school year is almost over and I really need to improve. I’ve noticed that I haven’t been working hard enough and my grade can be dropping day by day. It’s not going to happen anymore more because if I miss something, I should really get it done and get help from teachers. There are some mistakes though. In many of my classes, I have turned in some work that I actually tried my hardest on, and they give me a zero saying that I have never turned it in even though I actually have.

My long term goal is to be successful at something for once because I always make mistakes almost every day. Sometimes it’s because I don’t pay attention in a class room, but when I do, I still don’t understand. That is why I ask my friends or sometimes my teachers for help. When I try to be good at something, it comes out humiliating, weird, or even funny sometimes but I not those kinds of people that are like “Boom” I know everything now and I got this, no, I need time to understand something much better and that really helps me.

Dog Life I woke up to the smell of my favorite food, Kibbles in Bits. I ran down stairs as fast as possible and saw my owner putting the food in my bowl. “Eat up, mutt, I have to leave now” my owner was going on a trip for 2 days and some lady was going to spend the night at my house because she was taking care of me. Man I hate that lady, why? Because she never wants to do anything! I grabbed my bone from the ground and started chewing on it until I herd a knock on the door. When the door opened, it was that lady. I thought she would come pet me but the first thing she does is throw here bags on the floor and use her phone for about 2 hours! I was so bored so I grabbed my favorite bouncy ball and went up to her. I was trying to get her attention but she smacked the ball right out of my mouth and I couldn’t do anything but to bark until I annoy her. “Please be quiet I am trying to listen to music!” I barked even more and she finally got up and went outside with me. I thought she was going to play ball me until I turned around and the door closed right in my face. It started raining outside and I saw a huge puddle of mud. The rain entertains me so much and especially mud! As soon as you know it, my whole fur was covered in mud. I was splashing and jumping so happily until I noticed my doggie door to enter my house. I got inside and barked to get the lady’s attention and she actually turned around. She screamed and told me to go outside but I couldn’t help it but run. I ran across the living room putting mud all over the white carpet and the lady chasing me behind. She kept slipping through all the mud and her body got all muddy. I ran upstairs and jumped over my owner’s bed not leaving one mud stain on it. The lady jumped on the bed and stained everything with her muddy feet. I put my bouncy ball next to the stairs and ran down. Since the lady was running, she didn’t see my ball and she went tumbling down stairs. She actually got knocked out but she was still breathing, so I grabbed a blanket with my mouth and put it on her so she can sleep warm. I got up and barked, “Wait till he see all this and it won’t be my fault.”

The Road not Taken The claim from the poem “The Road Not Taken” is about two roads and what kind should the man choose to go on. The difference from both of the roads is there are many people using one to cross and drive on while the other one is abandon. In this sentence “it was grassy and wanted wear” it proves that no one has chosen the other road and that there started to be a lot of grass all around it. In the ending of the poem, the man chooses to go on the one that barley anyone went to and he said it all made a difference.

Honesty I choose “Honesty” for the essay. The importance of this word means to not lie or do anything in any way. When we are honest, we show and tell the truth to everyone and it makes everything feel better. People that are more silent, actually show more honesty than those who are not. This word also shows courage, and by telling the truth, your lives can really change.

Helping Collage Students The article “Helping Homeless Collage students” is about a students who don’t have a home and they live in KSU’s center, which a home for the homeless. In this sentence “These are students with clothes on their backs, with an iPad, living in their car, and starving” is just sad because there are a lot of students starving and not even caring if they have an Ipad, because the most important thing they need is food. There collage is one of the only collages that help homeless collage students.

The Outsiders Review The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton is an excellent book. The story talks about two gangs called the Greasers and the Socs. The main character talking about everything in the whole book is a Greaser called “Pony Boy.” The character Johnny died because he wanted to help Pony boy because a Soc called Bob was drowning him. It turns out that he killed Bob and later on Johnny died because he was trying to save someone. In the story, Pony boy says that Johnny isn’t dead because he is shocked and depressed that he is gone forever and was trying to make himself feel better. The weird part of the story is that Greaser and Socs hate each other but one Soc was starting to become friends to Pony Boy. Later on Johnny’s best friend Darry died because of stealing a market and cops chased after him. Pony boy’s brother Soda pop told him to stick together because that was all he had left because gang was falling apart.

February 27 On the year February 27 2016 I am going to be in High school and I will be 15 years old. I’m going to be in Madison high school and I can maybe drive by then. I will meet some new friends or maybe old friends from a long time ago. It should be a good day on the 27th because I will be used to the school and know where to go like all the classes I have to be in. By that year I’m not going to be in I middle anymore and it would be like my second year of high school anyway. I will miss I middle because it will be the only middle I’ve been to and that’s it. Also because it will only be two years in middle school but like three in high school.

2/20/14 The shows “Victorious” and “Sam and cat” are similar because they both are shows from nickelodeon and the character “Cat” starts in both shows. They are also about friends and the random things they do or get into. “Sam and Cat” are the only two main characters in there show while on the other hand, “Victorious” is a group with 6 characters.

2/19/14 6th is similar to 7th grade because we learn the same stuff only harder. We do some reviews on what we learned in 6th grade and see if we can remember them now. Even though we don’t have playtime in middle school anymore it doesn’t make a big difference. Also the fact that we come out earlier than elementary school which is good but we start school early in middle school. Although school can get more complicated than Elementary school, we can still have a good time.

1/30/14 My life in 20 years will be me living in LA and having a huge house with a nice view outside. I would have a limo and go to the beach everyday with my friends and just have a good time. I would find work that will be easy and get paid the right amount of money each day. I will have pet dogs, birds, and tons of cats! I just don’t want all that, I also want to become something famous that I would love to do. I will honestly do whatever I want, because I’ll be a grownup.

1/28/14 My school goals for English is to turn in missing work that I didn’t do because, last semester, I got a C in the class and now I’m trying to get at least a B or perhaps an A. I will also pay attention when the teacher is calling names to answer a question. Also, try to fix up any work that got a low grade. I will try harder this semester to get better grades than last semester. When the teacher is talking I will pay more attention at what he’s saying so I know how to do the things he asks us to do or finish up. I will read the books we are doing in class so when we do a test of them, I will know the answers.

Alexa Islas Period 3 12/19/13
 * 1) The meanest part of Scrooge in my opinion is when he said he lives in a world with fools that celebrate Christmas and said if he hears an idiot saying “Merry Christmas” he would boil them with his own pudding.
 * 2) Jacob Marley is a guy who is dead and is haunting Scrooge
 * 3) Scrooge visits when he was a young boy. A memory that was not happy to Scrooge was that he was all alone.
 * 4) The visitors were Marley, Nephew, and Cratchit. The visitors were all trying to be nice to Scrooge but Scrooge’s attitude was plain rude.
 * 5) Scrooge values money and only cares about money, and isn’t a happy man because he wants people to pay him back the money they owe him and said that he hates Christmas and it means nothing to him.
 * 6) He might learn his lesson and change who he is right now, and yes people personalities can change because whatever stuff Scrooge says to people it can affect them and might fight back.

12/17/13 The Grinch is like the Christmas Carol because it’s both about Christmas and the Grinch and Scrooge would be very negative and mean because The Grinch doesn’t like Christmas and is trying to ruin it for everyone to keep himself happy, but with Scrooge, he would only care about money and himself. So, in these two movies it’s technically saying that they both want or have things for themselves and not care about others or what’s going on to them.

12/11/13 In the beginning, Scrooge Personality was Stingy because he loved money and didn’t want to give it away. But, in the middle, he arrived back home and was surprise that he was alive and started jumping and asked a child to buy a turkey and he would give him some money if he would buy it.

12/10/13 One reason The Pearl is similar to A Christmas Carol is because in both, it has poor people and rich people. It also involves a child in it, and talks about how money can’t bring happiness. In the Christmas Carol, the wife wants to stay together, but the man needs to find a job, this part is similar to The Pearl because when the lady and the man left there house, he told her to stay in a place were she couldn’t get caught, but she said she wanted to go with him.

12/4/13 There are both differences and similarities between the book the hunger games and Catching fire because they both go into the arena, however, in the first book, two people won, and in the other, there were still a couple survivors. In the games, they were pretending to like each other, but on the other hand, they acutely weren’t. The hungers games is unlike catching fire, also because the first one was the games, and the other one, bad things started happening after the games.
 * 1) Logical: That’s really logical.
 * 2) Evidence: We need some evidence to find out what’s going on.
 * 3) Infer: I’m just trying to infer you on how to use it.
 * 4) Imply: I’m just trying to imply.
 * 5) Personification: When you use that its called, personification.
 * 6) Metaphor: For example the word figure is a metaphor.
 * 7) Synthesize: I synthesize this will happen
 * 8) Apostrophe: There it is!
 * 9) Theme (as it applies to literature) The theme of the book is how he found his dog.
 * 10) Literature: Its like a part of a book.

11/21/13 One of the themes in the book __Hatchet__ is to be careful where and who you’re going with because in one part of the book, the young boy went on a plane and crashed on an island. The reason to be careful is because His mom sent him to see his dad in another place, and by getting there, he had to go on a plane. Also, the pilot had a heart attack, which means that he wasn’t a good person to go with. When the pilot died, he had to control the plane for a few hours and he had no clue where he was going. In one part it says that all he can see is trees, so that proves that he was stranded on a island and needed to find help as soon as possible. The theme of the pearl is that things can change who you are in life.

Period 3 Final draft for Scary Story Once upon a time, a long time ago there were to young boys named Billy and Joe. <range type="comment" id="462094020_1">“Boys, come down stairs, dinner is ready!” The mother said</range id="462094020_1">. When the boys came down to eat, their parents told them that they will be out of town for a few days any that they would bring someone to take care of them. “We are leaving in ten minutes, the lady will arrive here in a bit, so when she comes, open the door for her, okay?” said their father. The two boys nodded and their parents exit the house. A couple minutes later, the lady came. The boys were frighten, “are you the one taking care of us?” Joe said. “Yes,” she said. She was wearing a big white dress with weird looking eyes and really messy hair. When it was 12:00 a.m. the lady was asleep and the boys were playing downstairs with their dog. BOOM!

“What was that?” said Billy.

“I’m not sure,” said Joe

“What’s going to happen to us?” said Billy.

“I’m not sure, but let’s not creep out, we will find out what’s going on here okay?” said Joe. “S-sure,” said Billy. CRASH! “Know what was that?!” said Billy. “It looks like it is coming from upstairs, don’t panic but, we have to go up there and see what’s going on.” When they were about to go up, they heard footsteps walking across the hallway and they just ran up. When they went to go see the lady, they realized that she was not in bed, “hey, maybe she just went to the bathroom,” Joe said. When they headed to the bathroom, the lights were on so they knew she was in there. When Billy was about to open the door, the handle shook and the lights flickered on and off, “wait a minute,” said Joe, “where is the dog?”

“We don’t have time for him right now Joe, we need to get out of here and leave the lady behind.” “But our parents, we can’t let them know that something is going on,” said Joe. “Who cares about them now, let’s go!” When they left the house they noticed a taxi man just standing outside doing nothing. “Can you take us somewhere?” asked Joe. The taxi man stared at them and said, “Sure, were too?” “Far away from here, anywhere but here,” said Billy. They hoped in car and drove away. 40 minutes later the taxi man’s car stopped next to a grave yard. “Why did we stop here?” said Billy. “It seems like I’m out of fuel, I guess we have to stay here and find some help.” “We can’t stay here, we have to go through the grave yard and find help, that’s the only way,” said Joe. Joe grabbed Billy’s hand and ran to the grave yard.

“Are you crazy we can’t go through here, it’s dark and it’s scary,” said Billy. “Don’t worry, it’s not like something will happen to us,” said Joe. In the middle of the grave yard, they noticed something white floating around and howling. “What is that?” said Billy. Joe stared and said, “It’s nothing, just keep on walking.” Billy stopped and herds something behind him. “IT’S A WOLF, IT’S A WOLF!” They ran as fast as they could until they found out ghost were also chasing them too. “Come on Billy we are almost out of here.” They ran and ran until they finally made it out, and found themselves in a park.

Later in the night, they were walking around trying to find there way back home, but, they found there parents driving home and they hoped in the car and went home. When they got there, the house was clean and found a note saying "Happy Halloween i got you." <span style="font-family: 'Franklin Gothic Medium','sans-serif'; font-size: 13.3333px;">8.

You should be careful what you wish for because in the story it talks about a guy who got three wishes and got a monkey’s paw. And, his last wish will include his death. The guy has nothing to do with it and doesn’t know what to do it with, in this part of the story it says, "If you've had your three wishes it's no good to you now then Morris," said the old man at last. "What do you keep it for?" The soldier shook his head. "Fancy I suppose," he said slowly." I did have some idea of selling it, but I don't think I will.

Period 3 10.22.13 A Scary Story Once upon a time, a long time ago there were to young boys named Billy and Joe. “Boys, come down stairs, dinner is ready!” The mother said. When the boys came down to eat, their parents told them that they will be out of town for a few days any that they would bring someone to take care of them. “We are leaving in ten minutes, the lady will arrive here in a bit, so when she comes, open the door for her, okay?” said their father. The two boys nodded and their parents exit the house. A couple minutes later, the lady came. The boys were frighten, “are you the one taking care of us?” Joe said. “Yes,” she said. She was wearing a big white dress with weird looking eyes and really messy hair. When it was 12:00 a.m. the lady was asleep and the boys were playing downstairs with their dog. BOOM!

“What was that?” said Billy. “I’m not sure,” said Joe. “What’s going to happen to us?” said Billy. “I’m not sure, but let’s not creep out, we will find out what’s going on here okay?” said Joe. “S-sure,” said Billy. CRASH! “Know what was that?!” said Billy. “It looks like it is coming from upstairs, don’t panic but, we have to go up there and see what’s going on.” When they were about to go up, they heard footsteps walking across the hallway and they just ran up. When they went to go see the lady, they realized that she was not in bed, “hey, maybe she just went to the bathroom,” Joe said. When they headed to the bathroom, the lights were on so they knew she was in there. When Billy was about to open the door, the handle shook and the lights flickered on and off, “wait a minute,” said Joe, “where is the dog?”

“We don’t have time for him right now Joe, we need to get out of here and leave the lady behind.” “But our parents, we can’t let them know that something is going on,” said Joe. “Who cares about them now, let’s go!” When they left the house they noticed a taxi man just standing outside doing nothing. “Can you take us somewhere?” asked Joe. The taxi man stared at them and said, “Sure, were too?” “Far away from here, anywhere but here,” said Billy. They hoped in car and drove away. 40 minutes later the taxi man’s car stopped next to a grave yard. “Why did we stop here?” said Billy. “It seems like I’m out of fuel, I guess we have to stay here and find some help.” “We can’t stay here, we have to go through the grave yard and find help, that’s the only way,” said Joe. Joe grabbed Billy’s hand and ran to the grave yard.

“Are you crazy we can’t go through here, it’s dark and it’s scary,” said Billy. “Don’t worry, it’s not like something will happen to us,” said Joe. In the middle of the grave yard, they noticed something white floating around and howling. “What is that?” said Billy. Joe stared and said, “It’s nothing, just keep on walking.” Billy stopped and herds something behind him. “IT’S A WOLF, IT’S A WOLF!” They ran as fast as they could until they found out ghost were also chasing them too. “Come on Billy we are almost out of here.” They ran and ran until they finally made it out, and found themselves in a park.

Later in the night, they were walking around trying to find there way back home, but, they found there parents driving home and they hoped in the car and went home. When they got there, the house was clean and found a note saying "Happy Halloween i got ya."

Alexa Islas Period 3 Oct.15.13 Say no to Steroids People take steroids to get bigger muscles. It’s not good to take steroids because it’s a drug and it is illegal. Steroids can cause many side effects including death. Some people use it to get bigger and stronger but don’t use your body that way, use it right, for example, eat healthy and exercise it will work on its own don’t just hurry up and use steroids, that’s not right. Steroids has been illegal for many years, but still millions of people still use it each year.

If you know someone that uses steroids, tell them to stop, it’s not a good thing to do, in the article it says that a boy hung himself to death because of using steroids. Some people use it to get abs. People back then showed there abs mostly in circus, but know everything is much more different. Be strong and say no to Steroids, you can have a much better life without them.
