Super Powers

If I had any super powers they would be invincibility, invisibility, the ability to fly, super strength, and super speed. I would have invincibility because I can be hit with anything and still continue to fight. I would use this in-case I get hit in the side with an 18-wheeler and still be fine. I would have invisibility too. I would have this because nobody would be able to see me and could not fight back. I would use this power to take the bad guys out silently. I would also have the ability to fly. I would have this because I could get places by falling with style. I would use it to get the bad guys to the authorities discretly. I would also have super strength too. I would have super strength so I can win any hand-to-hand combat. I would use it to knock the bad guys out in one punch. I would have super speed too. I would have this so I can dodge bullets and anything else I see coming at me. I would use this to avoid danger. These are the super powers I would have.

Getaway Island

If I were to have a tiny getaway island it would have a house, a bunch of my favorite restaurants that will feed me for free, a huge projection screen with an xbox, a movie theatre and an ampitheatre. The house wouldn't be to big but it would have TV and a food court out back. All of the restaurants in the food court would give out free samples all the time and give me food for free. My favorite restaurants that would be on my island would be Marcos, Olive Garden, Five Guys, Taco Bell, Wah Fu and Red Robin. They would all serve me my favorite foods from those places and my favorite drinks. The projection screen would be in my ampitheatre and it would be around 60 feet diagonaly and it would come with an xbox with my favorite games. My island would also have a movie theatre playing my favorite movies all the time and it would have a popcorn maker and a fountain drink machine to. That is what I would have on my island.

Personal Assistant

If I had to choose a personal assistant for this week it would be William Shakespeare. I would choose him because he is good at writing poems and plays. If I were to have him do anything for me, it would be my English homework and my poetry project. It would be nice if he could do this because he knows what he is doing with poetry, and I do not. He could make it a lot easier for me to succeed in English class. I would have him analyze my poem for I have troubles with that. He would also help me understand it so I would not need help with every poem I ever have to do again. I would also have him be my butler. He would carry everything for me and talk to everybody in that funky proper English. He would bring me snacks and drinks when I wanted them. That is who I would choose for my personal assistant and why I would choose him.

My Favorite Class

My favorite class is history because it is deceptively simple and gripping. The way the teacher, Mr. Ramirez, teaches makes it seem difficult but it is the easiest once you start trying. It makes history class one of the easiest classes ever. Mr. Ramirez uses a teaching tool called a guided reading. Some of them seem extremely complicated until Mr. Ramirez explains them. Not only is it the guided readings that make history class easy, but the vocabulary is also easy. History is a gripping class also because of how Mr. Ramirez teaches. He shows movies and videos on what we are learning and it makes it really fun. He also doesn't give so much homework that it becomes stressful and unable to concentrate in class. Although history class is easy we still learn what we need to. These are the reasons that history class is deceptively simple and gripping and also my favorite class.

Zombies

OSo A while back our neighbors stopped talking to us and we haven't seen their son since then. We think something may have happened to him because we go over there and try to talk but nobody ever answers the door but the other day we saw him taking the trash out and we just barely missed him. The trash, however, we could smell from a mile away. It smelled of dead animals and rotten body parts. That's when we said we need to know what's going on and we deserve to because we are members of the community to. So we decided we are going to go in there, invited or not, to figure out what is going on. We knocked on the door and noone answered. Then we tried walking in and for some reason their door was unlocked. We found everything practically untouched. Then we heard the weird noises coming from the basement. We went over to the basement door and there was scratching at the door and we decided the only logical thing to do was to call the police. When they arrived they beoke down the door and discovered the entire family had turned into zombies and the son seemed to be the source. He was the only one that didn't have bite marks. We then discovered that the family had kept animals to feed there son for they could not kill him. This lead to them being bit.

Things that comfort me

There are multiple things that comfort me. The thing that comforts me the most is sleep. I think this comforts me the most because I forget about what was bothering me. The things that also provide me comfort are cats, video games, food, and netflix. Cats comfort me because I like the sound of their purring and it calms me. Video games comfort me because they make me focus on something else. They are also comforting because I play them with my friends most of the time(89). A lot of different foods comfort me like pizza, spaghetti, salad, chicken nuggets, french fries, burgers, chicken, rice, pasta, and pretty much any Chinese food. These comfort me because I like the flavor and that is what I focus on while I'm eating. Netflix comforts me because it takes my mind off of things by letting me watch what I want to, when I want to. These are the things that comfort me.

"I Am" Poem

I am a wacky kid who plays lots of video games.

I wonder what the horizon looks like from the top of the world.

I hear the wind whistling in my ears.

I see huge giants in the trees.

I want to live in a nice house and live a long life.

I am a wacky kid who plays lots of video games.

I become a cat when I am with my cats.

I feel like the government watches me.

I touch others hearts to get close to them.

I worry about my family members getting Ebola.

I cry for my uncle who passed away long ago.

I am a wacky kid who plays lots of video games.

I understand how cell reproduction works.

I say aliens are real with their big black eyes and slender grey bodies.

I dream about being rich and living a good life.

I try to make new friends and be nice to people.

I hope for good grades in school. 

I am Thomas Sheldon.

2000 Years Ago

If I were a farmer 2000 years ago and I could start with one horse, one cow, or a dozen chickens, I would pick the dozen chickens. I would start with the dozen chickens because they lay eggs for food. Also after I have breeded some chickens I can trade about four chicks and about two dozen eggs for a neighbors cow. Then I can repeat that same process to get another to breed them to have lots of cows. Once I have multiple cows I can trade one for a horse with my other neighbor. Then I could put a tiller on my horse to till my land faster and I can till more of it to plant more. If I start with the chickens I can get the other two animals and become successful. Although chickens can create a huge clamor it will be worth it in the end.

I am a Piñata

I am a piñata. I was born specially for the reason of being stuffed with lots of candy and whacked to death by lots of small temperamental children. I have known this since I was created and I have feared the day it would happen. But right now I am in a car on my way to a birthday party. I know what will happen to me and I am not afraid because I know it was meant to happen this say. I have arrived at the party, all stuffed with goodies for the children, and they are hanging me from a tree in the back yard for the children to hit me. I can see the children looking tame with anticipation in their eyes. The first child came up and hit me three times with a baseball bat. It hurt horribly but I got over because I knew I wouldn't feel it for much longer. Then the second child came up. He was larger than the others and I feared he would be the one to do it. He hit me once and candy came pouring out of me like a river.  But when the last piece fell I was gone.

Things I would never do

There are multiple things I would never do or do again. One thing I would never do is go skydiving. I wouldn't go skydiving because I'm terrified of heights and the parachute could possibly fail. Another thing I would never do is donate blood. I would never do this because I don't like needles and I don't like feeling light headed like I would if I donated blood. Another thing I would never do is go cliff diving because I'm very terrified of heights and the parachute could fail. I would never get a tattoo ever because I think they are stupid and they are also permanent. I would never drive under the influence because I could get in a lot of trouble and put myself and my passengers in danger. One thing I would never do again is go rock climbing because it caused me to sweat profusely and it caused me pain and it was in general not fun. These are the things I will never do or do again.

People I Would Invite Over to Talk

I would invite a few people over to my house for some hot drinks. First person I would invite would be Weird Al Yankovic. I would talk with him about how he comes up with funny parodies. I would also have him play a few songs for me like, "White and Nerdy," and "Party in the CIA." The next person I would invite would be Jim Gaffigan. I would talk with him about how he comes up with the great jokes he tells. I would also ask him how he gets up on stage and talks in front of people like that. I would have him tell me some jokes too. Another person I would invite is Brandon Holcomb. I would talk to him about Dark Souls, my favorite game. Those are the people I would invite to my house for hot drinks and what I would talk with them about.

Journal Prompt #1

I really like many things. I am evangelical about Dark Souls. I am evangelical about this because it is my favorite game and I'm good at it. Also I play it with a bunch of friends. I am also evangelical about Weird Al's music because I think it's funny and exciting. One of my favorite songs from his new album, Mandatory Fun, is "Tacky." It's a parody of "Happy" and it makes me laugh. A few other songs I like are"Foil" and "Word Crimes." For my birthday one year, I got see him on his "Alpocolypse" tour. Another thing I'm evangelical about is Reese's peanut butter cups because they are the best candy ever in my opinion. I just love the combination of peanut butter and chocolate. I am also evangelical about English class because Mr. Juarez is my favorite teacher. These are the things I'm evangelical about.
