Torture

My position on torture is that it should only mental torture should be used. Physical torture is unnecessary considering when it is used on somebody, the person getting tortured might not even have the information that you need. Mental torture can't always effect somebody forever. Physical torture could lead to death or permanent injuries. Mental torture is literally just all in your head. If somebody really needs the information out of somebody else, no physical damage needs to be done.

My Soul Poem

I was originally Mary Wollstonecraft

What a tongue twister

She was an 18^th century English author

Her skin was as white as the younger Olsen sisters

 

Mary died after giving birth

Alfred de Vigny is what she became next

He became a French author

His forehead was as big as a tyrannosaurus rex

 

Alfred died of old age

But his sole would carry on into a can

It stayed there till it became the British banker Reginald McKenna

He looked just like the butler from Batman

 

Reginald died in a car crash

But he wouldn’t let the soul die

Herve` Villechaize was then born

He was as short as July

 

Herve` would eventually commit suicide

But then I would arise

I am a great athlete

This poor sole will never die

Cilantro

So, today I was a food tester. Just I didn’t get to test what I wanted. Instead I got to taste cilantro. I was expecting to get some real good food but I definitely didn’t. It tasted like lemon, which I am not too fond of. The smell I hated even more. I don’t really know how to describe it but it was really bad. For some reason when I was done eating it, my tongue felt like it was numb. It was a tough experience and I would rather not go through it again. 

Object Writing

I was playing in a lacrosse game one day and I got really light headed. I was running around and was really tired because I hadn’t gotten a chance to rest. It also didn’t help that I had the book club 8^th period in Morone’s class. The book club meant that there was food and I ate a lot of jelly donuts. So, one play the ball came rolling at me and I went to scoop it up when I go the crap knocked out of me. I stayed down since it really hurt. Coach came out on the field said I didn’t look so well and let me sit on the sideline. I really wasn’t feeling good at this point. It was humid, so I was sweating, I ate way to much, so I had to go to the bathroom, and I was stuck on a lacrosse field. I really was feeling the need to throw up but I just couldn’t. I had my head down when somebody on the sideline yelled “Heads up!” I look around and everybody began to turn around when I felt something hit me in the chest. It was just what I needed and I threw up. A lacrosse ball came and hit me right in the chest. People came running over thinking I would not be feeling so well when really I could never had been better. I kept the ball. I still didn’t want to play so I acted like I couldn’t play. I then wasted the remaining time of the game drawing smiley faces on the ball. THE END!

 

I hated my life before the incident with Shawn Adair. I was thrown around a lot. I was dropped a lot. I was bounced. I was spun around. I was living the life of a horrible roller coaster. Up and down and all around. I couldn’t get away form it. I just kept getting into the game. When I finally hit Shawn, I knew I was finally done. He gave me this weird look and through up but then he gave me a good look and picked me up. I knew I was done. He started decorating me with smiley faces and I looked cuter than ever. My life since has been like retirement and I love it!

Macbeth Responce #1

We have finished act one and so far I dislike the book. It is very hard to comprehend. So I hate that in order to understand what is going on, we need to stop every couple of lines to understand and comprehend what is going on. What I like so far is how twisted and evil the wife of Macbeth (Lady Macbeth) is. I would expect the man of the family, being Macbeth, to be the one that would have any plans in the family to kill somebody. But, instead the wife is the one that is going to kill the king to benefit her husband Macbeth. It is benefiting Macbeth by he will be king if the king dies. I can relate to Macbeth the best because I have always had second thoughts about doing something bad. I would rather let somebody else make a huge decision than me having to do it myself. Macbeth let Lady Macbeth make the decision to kill the king herself. Other than Lady Macbeth being so twisted and evil, what surprised me was that the witches were so nice to Macbeth. I would expect witches to be evil to everybody no matter what the situation is. This confused me as well. What I think will happen next are that Lady Macbeth and Macbeth’s plan works and they actually kill the king. This means that Macbeth is know king but then I think that Macbeth will feel bad about what has happened. He will then try and give him and his wife up for what they did. Lady Macbeth wants to try and stop Macbeth from doing so and she goes to the witches and asks them for a favor. The favor is that they make sure that Macbeth can’t tell what happened to the king. In return, the witches will receive a large sum of money. What they do with the money is going to somehow buy them something that will make them all queens. This is just a huge guess but it makes sense to me. 

Response to Online Article: Second Thoughts About Kids and Their Cell Phones

Phones are an issue but I don’t think it is necessary for them to be taken away from kids. Certain rights on the phone should be taken away though. A phone is really mainly used for talking to others. What needs to be taken away is picture messaging for certain people. There was an incident in my middle school (Holdrum) where a girl sent around her picture by phone. A lot of people got the picture but it became an issue when somebody printed it out on the computer. Some kids misuse the picture messaging but others use it for certain things for homework help and pictures of big buildings and to remember where you’ve been. The phone really isn’t an issue except for certain kids that feel the need to use the phone for bad things. The real issue is what the parents allow them to have blocked and un-blocked on their phones. 

Response to the Online Article: Quality of Life Beats the Quality of Mercy. Anytime.

In this situation, Alphie has a right to be angry. He left the car running with his wife in the car. There should be nothing wrong with that considering he didn’t leave the car running. It was even worse considering the limo in front of them wasn’t going to get a ticket for the same scenario. The only issue is that Alphie needs to realize that the ticket lady is just trying to do her job. Alphie is making the ticket lady’s job harder without realizing it. He has a right to be upset but let the ticket lady move on and deal with it in court.

            Also, I think that the ticket lady should give the limo a ticket if Alphie is getting a ticket. It doesn’t really matter that the limo had somebody in the drivers seat. They were still illegally parked. It is still a hazard for the limo to be parked where it is. Was the incident a racist issue? Probably not. I think that the ticket lady just really felt that it wasn’t an issue for the limo to be there since somebody was in the driver seat meaning they could move if the police or some other sort of emergency needed to be there. 

Car Chase- Youtube Video

I was on the run. The cops were on to me. What a car. It was a 2008 Escalade. Leather lining. It was such a quick steal. Was at the local 7-11. The women left the keys in the ignition. Wasn’t long before I heard the sirens go off so I decided to hit the highway. I thought I was in the clear so I slowed down but instead the cops had just sped up and they were within breathing distance. I felt like I was the white guy in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift going up against the top drifter in Tokyo who just happened to be Asian. We were flying faster than fast food gets to your stomach. Then the cop who also just happened to be Asian hit the Escalade and I thought I had spun out like I had lost the race but I just held my foot on the petal and just happened to gain control going in the right direction. He hit me two more times and I kept spinning out and ending up heading in the same direction. Then, right as he was going to hit me again, I hit the brakes and he went right into the wall. Then I sped up thinking I won the race but then the car was out of gas. Game over, I lost the race.
