Fall Break Free Post

   Fall break was a new thing for me this year. At my old school we had Columbus Day off, but not two days! I was so excited to have a break from the business of school. My life has been non-stop as we approach the end of the first quarter. I have been so busy with after school sports and homework it was definitely time to sleep in. My little sister was jealous since she still had school.
  On Thursday I slept in until about 9 am. Later that day, my mom and I went shopping. First, we picked up my sister's halloween costume. Then, we went shopping for shoes. After no luck at DSW, we went to the mall. Luckily I found some perfect shoes at Dillards, so we celebrated with lunch and cookies. Friday was my day to relax. I slept in late and had Mexican for dinner. On Saturday, I finished my homework and went to my friend's house. I hadn't seen her in awhile, so it was good to catch up. We babysat her little sister while her mom was out. Overall, my fall break was very relaxing and well spent.

    That sounds like a great, fun, and relaxing break. I wish mine was like that. Mine was full of homework, cross country meets, and flu shots...

Flash Fiction

   Lilly was nervous for her first day of sixth grade. She had to leave all of her friends behind in Denver, and was worried about making new ones in Los Angeles. Hopefully everyone was nice to her.    Jim was so excited for his first day of sixth grade. He was in middle school now. His brother told Jim all about his awesome middle school experiences. Jim rushed outside just in time to catch the bus.    Lilly walked into her homeroom teacher's classroom five minutes early. She figured it would be good to introduce herself. Mrs. Cunningham was hidden behind at least 40 textbooks. They were labeled "Life Science." Lilly sighed, she hated life science.    Jim waltzed into Mrs. Cunningham's class a minute after the bell rang. His brother had the same sixth grade teacher. He knew she wasn't strict. Jim was laughing with his friends, when he noticed an unfamiliar face sitting next to the window. He walked toward the girl.    Lilly took out her notebook while Mrs. Cu

You'll Always Find Your Way Back Home- Hannah Montana

https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/hannahmontana/youllalwaysfindyourwaybackhome.html I chose "You'll Always Find Your Way Back Home," by Hannah Montana because I personally love this song and it is very inspirational. The song uses anaphora, slant rhyme, and consonance to convey a deeper meaning, which is to go to your family during tough times. They can help you through your issues because they love and care about you. You can change your style You can change your jeans You can learn to fly And you can chase your dreams You can laugh and cry But everybody knows You'll always find your way back home Anaphora is used in this section with the phrase "you can." Anaphora is used to encourage and inspire listeners to reach for the dreams. Anaphora contributes to the overall message of the song, which is to remember that your family can help through any tough times.  You can change your style You can change your jeans You can learn to fly And you can c

Describe a time when you were very scared

  During last year's flood, our power had gone out. My family didn't worry because we were used to the power being out. Earlier that day, I had gotten a text from a friend that lives in my neighborhood, saying that there were some men going around trying to rob empty houses. I didn't think anything of the text because something like that had never happened in our neighborhood before. I remember it being pretty dark outside, so it must have been around eight pm. I was sitting on the couch with my dog when I heard a bang on the door. Then I saw a shadow pop up in front of the door, along with more banging. My mom rushed my sister and I into her room, while my dad went to investigate.    My mom manually set off the alarm in an attempt to scare away the attempted burglar. I was supposed to call 911. It was my first time every having to call the police. My sister was freaking out, and I was shaking holding the dog. It took the police almost twenty minutes to get to our house, d
