Not the Right Ending

Please note that what you are about to read gives away the whole Air Head trilogy.

Emerson Watts goes to a store gets hit in the head by a TV and is announced that her heart is dead. She wakes up to find that she is in model Nikki Howards body. Nikki lives a life of leisure, she lives in a penthouse in Manhattan, has loads of money and everything anyone could want. The first book is about how Emerson becomes Nikki and the second book is about Emerson living Nikki’s life. The third and final book is the most upsetting one.

In the third book Nikki (Emerson) wants to take down the guy who paid for the brain transplant. She finds out that the original Nikki is still alive and looks for her. They team up to take Mr. Stark down and his big enterprise. Mr. Stark learns that they are looking for him and threatens to kill Nikki’s (Emerson’s) sister.  Long story short, they get to a news press and release that Mr. Stark had Nikki killed because she knew too much and tried to replace her with Emerson.  Then Emerson goes back to living her old life before she was a famous model.

I’m happy that the main charter got her way and now everything seems right in their world, but that’s not how I wanted it to end. I wanted her to still be a model and live in her penthouse and wear fancy clothes. I still wanted to read about appearance she would have to make or another crazy twist in the story. I guess I really wasn't ready for the books to end I wanted to keep reading about Nikki’s lavish life.        

Snow day.

I jolt awake, oh my gosh I over slept, I think looking at the clock as it blinks 8:30. Running I put my clothes on brush my teeth and hurry down stairs. While waiting for my toast my mom walks in.

“Mom! Why didn’t you wake me up I’m going to be late to school!” She starts laughing while looking at what I’m wearing, “I guess you didn’t take a look out the window this morning.”  “Wait, what, does this mean what I think it means?” “Yes you have a snow day!’ Woo hoo! A whole extra day to do whatever I want, this day shall not go wasted.

After finishing breakfast and fixing the way I look I planned out the perfect snow day.

1.       Go sledding at the Old Man’s hill. Said to be the best hill in town.

2.       Come home for lunch, hopefully chicken noodle soup.

3.       Snow ball fight

4.       Build a snow fort

My phone buzzes with a text from my best friend Alex, he says meet him at Old Man’s Hill in twenty. I grab my sled put on my snow gear and head over to the hill. The hill is covered in the perfect blanket of snow. Some people where leaving just as I pulled up and left a really nice sledding trail. Alex is already on the hill getting ready to use his Snow Racer 2000.    ‘ Hey man”,” Hey” “Let’s do this’. I hop on my sled give it a little push and bam! I’m fly down the hill wind in my face and no control of the sled, I can barely see as the snow keeps getting in my eyes.

Once we got tuckered out from all the sledding we headed back to my house. My mom made chicken noodle soup for us. Yes! ‘Alex text Jessica, Ryan, Steve and Michelle for the snow ball fight’. “Okay everyone says they’re in.

We all meet down the street in the open filed. Alex, Jessica and I were on a team, Ryan, Steve and Michelle on the other. “ On the count of three,1, 2, thr.. the snow balls start flying. Alex stayed behind to make the snow balls while Jessica and I showed no mercy to Ryan and Michelle. No one ended up w inning but we still all had a good time.

Everyone stayed to help build the snow fort it ended up looking like an igloo. We all sat in the igloo drinking hot chocolate, it was the perfect end to the best snow day.

   

A Single Man in Possession of a Good Fortune

It is truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. Henry was dressed for work: kakis, button down and a tie, hair slicked back and a winning smile. He had the dream job, car and house the only thing he didn’t have is a wife.

            Lucy has the perfect smile, laugh and twinkle in her eye. When she entered a room you could feel the room light up.

One day on Henrys way to work he bumped into a girl with a twinkle in her eye. He thought nothing of her really just another person on the street. There was something about her that he couldn’t keep out of his mind.

            Every day for the past week on his way to work he would run into the girl with a twinkle in her eye. After the 5^th time running into her he decided to find out who she was. Her name is Lucy turns out she walks this way to her job, she owns a bakery down the street. She had just catered Henry’s office party last week.

            Lucy and Henry hit it off. They would meet each other at her bakery after he got off work and would spend endless hours talking and talking. They continued this tradition for 7 months. Henry knew that he was ready to spend every day for the rest of his life at this little bakery.

6 O’clock that’s when it happened. Henry had just gotten off work his hair was slicked back the way it always is there was a little bulge in his breast pocket in the shape of a box. He was ready to finally have it all, the dream wife to complete the dream life. He was half way to the bakery when he heard a shot and a scream. He ran in and saw Lucy lying on the floor in the middle of a pool of blood. The twinkle in her eyes had disappeared. That moment he knew that his dream life would never be complete. It was a fine cry – loud and long- but it had no bottom and it had no top, just circles and circles of sorrow. 

Madison, Keishay and Rachel

I really like how in Madison's dream thread story she was in other peoples dreams. That would be so cool to see what other people are dreams about. It's like being a mind reader almost.

If Keishay were to rule the world she says" And sometimes forgot to wake up on time would still be aloud to be in charge of the world." Her statement makes me wonder if the President is sometimes aloud to sleep in.

Rachel brought us back to our childhood with forts and naps everyday, sounds like the life!  It is true though we always wish to be grown up.

The Famous First and Last Line

"It was a fine cry-loud and long- but it had no bottom and it had no top, just circles and circles of sorrow."

Sula was written by Toni Morrison. Morrison was born February 18, 1931 and is still living today. The year her book was published she was a single mother of two children and working at  Howard University. 

Sula takes place between World War I and World War II. It's about two African American girls live's starting out when they are young and ending when they are well in age. One girl grows up and gets married the other girls moves away and sleeps here and there. 

I would honestly not read this book. I am more into comedies and this book seems far from that. The ending line in this book is depressing and I rather not find out why. This book would be better for someone who enjoys historical books. 

   

The Famous First and Last Line

"It is truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife".

Pride and Prejudice was written by Jane Austen. Austen was born on December 16, 1775 and died on July 18, 1817. She lived her life as part of a close knit family in England. 

The story is about sisters that are ready to get married. Luckily for them two new men have moved into town. Men of very high status. The oldest sister finds a liking in one of these men. The other sister and the other gentleman tend to but heads.

This book sounds like a very good read. I think I would like it because of the romance, drama, and the high class life. I like that the book is a satire, but I am afraid I wouldn't understand the humor because of the old English.

Memorable Passage

“Just think happy thoughts and you’ll fly”. First of all Peter Pan has always been my main man. This quote to me means that your happy thoughts can take you anywhere. It’s your bad thoughts that bring you down. It’s the happy thoughts that keep you going, those are the moments we live for. Think happy thoughts and you’ll fly. Think happy thoughts and your life will be happy. You’ll be able to “fly” over anything.  

Writers As Readers

The perfect spot for reading is on the beach sitting on a chair that reclines a little bit. Unfortunately for me I live in Missouri and hardly ever get to read at the beach. My favorite reading spot is in my room on my futon with the sun light shining in through the window raped up in my purple blanket.

I am one for getting on the book bandwagon. If a lot of people like a book then I will probably like it too. One book I never got into was the Divergent book. The only reason why is because the main characters name is Beatrice, but somehow it is changed to Tris. People then started asking me if they could call me Tris. I wasn’t going to read the book in the first place, but then after that I really did not want to read Divergent.

You can absolutely tell when someone reads a lot. People who read more seem to have a bigger vocabulary and do a very good job of describing things. What we read does reflect what we write. What we choose to read is based on our interests. When J.K Rowling was a little girl she would pretend that she was a witch. Now she has taken her interest and has made a whole new world just with her writings.     

   

Sci Fi isn’t my favorite but I like it a lot. In sci fi there can be a whole new planet and that’s cool. It makes things that we wouldn’t be able to do seem real. I also like that the characters problems are a lot different than mine. A problem for me could be that the outfit I wanted to wear wasn’t washed so I can’t wear it today. A problem for a sci fi character is a powerful wizard is trying to take over the world and for that to happen the main character must die. I know I am never going to have that problem so it’s cool to read about someone who does.

Back in 7^th grade my mom got really sick and we had to go live with her sister for a little bit. My aunt lives in New England so I wasn’t able to attend school for a little bit. With all that time I had I read the Hunger Games. This was before the Hunger Games was a big deal. I read the Hunger Games in one night, turning the page as fast as I could, and reading twist after twist. As soon as I could I got a hold of Catching Fire and finished that just as fast. While I was in New England I didn’t have any friends and my cousin had to go to school, I spent all day reading and rereading those books. 

Dreams

I have never really thought of dreams. I know I have dreams every night and sometimes a jungle animal makes a guest appearance. I have never had a dream strong enough, like Martin Luther King Jr or that girl from Les Mis. I find it very admirable that they can see a whole other world that they want to see. They won’t accept the world they live in, they strive for a better life. I take life. I don’t see life any differently than the way it already is. I use to think I wish I still lived in my old house but then I realized I wouldn’t have the life that I do now if I still lived in that house. I wouldn’t have the friends I have, I wouldn’t go to Kickapoo, and Scramblers would have never been my first job. There are things that I wish were different in my life, but I would never go back and change the life I have lived so far. That life has helped me become the person I am today.

 

Black Dress

I know why the girl in the black dress cries.

Flowers have lost their beauty.

Holidays can never be the same.

Sleep is now not what it was once.

Dreams ruin what was once a reality.

Showing you what you once had.

Waking up and knowing its gone.

 Jewelry not just being a twinkling accessories

A shirt losing it's sent.

Now only a memory.
  

Old Dog New Tricks

“One can’t really learn after one is twenty five”. Anyone can learn anything at any age. I personally think it only depends on if the person has the willingness to learn

                Many people were born before the time of cellphones and internet. I’m pretty sure I get asked by my mom at least once a week how to do something with her phone or the computer. I show her and then she totally forgets. I think older people don’t really want to learn how to use newer technology because they didn’t grow up with it.

                I also think people wouldn’t want to go back to school because of the tests and grading system. Last semester I was a teacher mentored in an A.P US History class and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the class because I just got to listen to the teacher. I didn’t have to worry about making sure I got all the notes down or worrying if what the teacher said was going to be on the test. That may be a reason why people like to watch documentaries, they get to learn without feeling stressed.

                In the work place a lot of people have to relearn how to do their job. For example each year before school starts teachers have to go to professional development training. There they learn how to teach new ways of teaching. Not only do the students get taught but the teachers do too.

                I believe that anyone can learn anything at any age. A lot of people well in their job go back to college to get a higher degree. There is not only school learning but there are also life lessons. Life lessons are one thing we will never stop learning.

                Talking about bad dreams can give them “too much power”. Your thoughts become your actions. When you let your thoughts get you down then you start acting down. Think about it, how does a bad day start out? In the morning one bad thing happens. That bad thing can be the starter of a bad day. You wake up and you can’t get your hair the way you want it to look. Then you’re very upset about that. That’s the only thought you have had all day and that is a bad thought. You keep dwelling on that thought and it just keeps leading to bad things. We could all fix our bad days by not focusing on that one bad thing that happened.

  

Whale Tale

   A miniature whale jumped out of the fish tank. He was done with the fish tank life. Seeing the same thing everyday and eating the same food. Bleck! He was ready to see what the sea was. Knowing he was a mammal and that he could live out of the water for a little bit he jumped out of his tank, hobbled out the window and into the drain on the street. Once he hit the sea water he felt free. He swam as fast as he could and as far as he could.
  After the thrill of being free was over he decided to make a new friend. Coming out of no where a red fish runs into him and says, " Tag you're it" and started to swim away. The whale didn't understand this game, he looked back at the red fish with confusion. " Don't you know how to play tag," asked the Red Fish. The whale shook his head back side to side. " Oh well I can teach you, I swim up to you and bump you and say tag. Then you chase me and try to bump me".  The whale loved the thought of this game and that they have the whole ocean to play this game in. the whale and the red fish played tag everyday and the whale was happy. At the end of the day the red fish would dream about boy butts.

If I Were in Charge of the World

If I were in charge of the world
I'd cancel bad hair days,
 lost things, being sweaty
 and also bugs with stingers or teeth.



If I were in charge of the world
there'd be more laughter,
starrier nights, longer sun sets and
step stools wouldn't be necessary.

If I were in charge of the world
you wouldn't have broken promises.
You wouldn't have to say good bye.
You wouldn't have bug bites.
Or have to take a lactose intolerant pill
 if you wanted to eat ice cream.
You wouldn't even have lactose intolerance.


If I were to charge the world
a  frappuccino would be a vegetable.
All days would have one more hour.
And a person who sometimes forgot
to rinse their plate and sometimes forgot
to feed their fish would still be allowed
to be in charge of the world.
