Lowliness

 Lowliness

Lowliness is maybe one of the worst feelings in the world. I felt very lonely when my Grandpa passed away last year April 14th. He was like my best friend. I’d tell him anything and everything that would be going on with me.

More than half of us usually don’t experience lowliness at a very young age. Unlike David, in the book called 'The Lost Boy'. If you’ve ever felt like you have none there for you, or you actually don’t have anyone for you. You could relate to more than half of this book.

Having to search for love from another family must be hard on the person who   is searching for love and must be very difficult. In the book 'Child Called It' David once got the lover from both of his parents. He doesn’t know what happened to it, but suddenly everything changed. David's mom had been very abusive towards him he wasn’t even considered part of the family. They didn’t even consider him a person he was the 'It'.

 If David wasn’t put trough what he was put trough he wouldn’t have done the things he did. For example he stole food, he wouldn’t have had to steal food if his mother would have gaven him food and not try to make him starve. Also he wouldn’t have felt the loneliness he felt. If his mother could has just gaven him love. It's sad how David's mother would try to do anything to kill the poor kid, he didn’t even know why she tried  to and why she'd always torture him.

I believe that no little kid at age 8 should feel he's unloved and lonely. I also think no little kid like David should have been abused and tortured like he did. I honestly wish the book should have explained why he got abused how he did, because for me trough out the whole book it felt like his mother just treated him like she did for fun and games.

How Drake Became Famous

How Drake's Fame All Started 

In our world today rap music has gotten very popular, then it was maybe even five years ago. One particular music artist that falls under that category of music would be Drake, but what inspired him to get into that kind of field of music? Beginning with, Drake started being an actor in the show “Degrassi.” While he was in the show, Drake really already has a passion for rap.

Throughout his time on the show he didn’t really get to show it, until he met this one girl Ally. This one Ally then became something more to Drake, because she was very into rap music as well. Drake and Ally then began to date, and soon came up with their own song.

Although they made the song, they didn’t want anyone to hear it, but that didn’t happen like they wanted to. Somehow is got to the school, and they school then played their song. At first Drake and his girlfriend were very embarrassed about the whole song, and everyone at school hearing it. But they were worried for nothing, because about more than half the school ended up loving there song, in fact they kept coming up to them and telling them how good it was. Even though Drake liked rapping, he did it for fun, not for someone big to find him and start a career.

One of the most famous rappers, would have to be Lil Wayne. Drake loved to post his videos on YouTube just for fun, he didn’t mean for anything to happen by it. Until one day, when Lil Wayne, probably one of his favorite artist happened to find his video on YouTube. Lil Wayne ended up really enjoying his song, and he kept finding a couple more songs to get to explore him a little more.

 He ended up going to the Young Money Label, which is a group of rapper, to perform a song by Drake. After the performance, all the rappers in the Young Money Label, was blown away. They all thought that Drake’s song was outstanding, and agreed that they wanted him to join their YMCMB which is short for  Young Money Cash Money Billionaire  group.

Prediction

My prediction was wrong. I thought Dale was pretending that he changed when Mr. Jones took him in his classroom after school one day. I thought Troy was going to do the same and pretend like he had changed. But I was wrong Dale had nothing to act out, he was officially changed. I thought that Dale was pretending to be changed just to try to get Troy to be quiet in Mr. Jones classroom and not be a big mouth in that class. What I think is going to happen next is that Molly is going to try everything and anything to try and get Troy and Dale back how they use to be, outgoing and non boring. I think Molly will do anything to try to get them back how they where because she seemed like she really liked/ got along with Troy. Also try to get Dale back because he seemed like a very good friend of Molly.

A Child Called "It"

Author’s note : Retelling piece


In the book called “A Child Called It”, David known as “it”, get’s beaten brutally by his own mother. He has to learn how to live without eating for many days if he doesn’t finish what is wished for his mother. As the book goes on it get’s worse and worse. He just doesn’t know how to stop the beatings , he doesn’t even know when it all started and how.

Cause And Effect

In the book the hunger games they hold the 74th annual hunger games where kids fight to the death and the winner gets fame and fortune. When Prim gets called at the reaping her sister Katniss steps up and takes her place.

The effect that it had on was that Katniss went into the hunger games and suffered trough cold nights and death ones too. If Katniss little sister never got called for the Hunger games there wouldn’t have been a book. But if there was Katniss would have been home still hunting and living her normal life. 

Perfect

Author's Note;  This book is about Isabelle(Main character) having a eating disorder.


Author: Natasha Friend

The main story was about  Isabelle , her being insecure about her weight . She think she's so heavy and big. When really she's not. But there's a point in this

The main conflict for this book I believe it was Her vs Herself.  I think it's a conflict her Vs herself because she puts a lot of negative things into her mind and she think situation where her little sister known as 'ape face' finds Isabelle making herself gag. That's when Ape Face tells their mom. Everything starts changing once her mom found out . There's no more junk food, all vegetables to eat. Isabelle mother also makes her start going to therapy for eating disorder.

s everyone else looks up to her as the 'fatty'.

Personal Narrative

The Day I Met My Best friend

I found out we were moving out I wash crushed. I didn’t know what to do. Either to cry because I was going to leave Waukesha or be happy because I could meet new people and start something new with my life. After I really thought about it I guess it was something good in life. I mean I love meeting new people, but what if the kids in my school didn’t feel the same? I had so many thoughts running through my mind.

I moved to Pewaukee in the summer. So I wasn’t really able to do much for 4th grade summer.  I was kind of pumped to start in a new school. But also scared because I thought I wouldn’t make any friends. But I guess I was wrong. Pewaukee was where I had met one of my best friends(Sarah). Best part is she ended up living on the same street as me too.

The day I had met Sarah in school I have to admit, I was really surprised by her. She was probably the craziest girl I had ever met in my whole entire life. She was so hipper and outgoing. At first I found it kind of annoying, but then I had hung out with her  for about 2 weeks and I even got caught up with being so hipper with her  trough the hallways.

When I first met her she had really pretty blonde hair. Her eyes were light blue. We got through 5th grade and she dyed her hair dark brown and also had cut it. 5th grade had been our  first fight through the year. We got in a argument over something really stupid. I can’t even remember what, but we didn’t talk to each other for like 2 weeks straight . It was upsetting but I was afraid to say something to her first.

For her birthday in 6th grade we went to D&B. It was so much fun. We ate delicious spicy wings. We played games until we couldn’t play any longer. When it was almost time to go home we went in and traded our tickets for a prize. Our prices had been these little stuffed Chubby DOMO  bears. They were probably the cutest things ever.

Now we are in Middle School. It has been really hard to try to keep our friendship as close as it use to be in 5th grade. But both of us know we can keep our  friendship as close  as it use to be  and drama free. So far 8th grade has been no drama for me and her also no arguing either. I hope we keep it this way. I don’t want to sometimes even think about us drifting apart from each other. She’s the only  that I can truly be myself around 100%

Retelling Cyber Bullying

Cyber Bullying

Cyber bullying , it can hurt  a person a  lot sometimes even cause death to the person.  I've seen a lot of Cyber Bully  enough to know that it can  make someone start giving themselves pain  and start believing what people say when they insult them. On  Facebook its horrible, or maybe just on text messages it is too  just watching someone get insulted getting called fat, ugly, stupid, stuck up, poor, saying lie's about you  and making fun of your  race. I'd know all of this because I have friends that went trough cyber bully even I did too. Makes you not want to go to school or just lock yourself up in a  pitch black room , phone off and no one there to be bothering you annoying you or insulting you. Just yourself and a pitch black room.  43% have been victims of cyber bullying. If you really think about it 43% might not seem like a big number but it really is a big number. Just last week me and my cousin where  watching a movie called ‘Cyber bully’. What the movie’s message to kids was if you’re getting cyber bullied don’t say anything mean back or just don’t reply. Just tell and adult and they’ll help you trough it . Or if you ever had been cyber bullied talk to someone about and tell them how you feel or felt about it at the time.

I  really don’t like cyber bulling. Why ? , because it really hurts someone  I think it makes no sense to make fun of someone for no reason. Especially over a phone or the internet. I mean if you don’t like the person and think bad stuff about them just keep all those bad comments to yourself. No one else needs to know the negative comments about a person you don’t like. This is why I don’t like cyber bullying and think it should have never excised.
