The feeling of when I was in 7th grade, and i had to write an essay, and didn't even know what the word essay meant, i just summarized about the story, and got a horrible grade.Since that day, I have been able to write essays that aren't just summaries, but actually make connections with outside sources. also since that day, i have become strong in writing creative pieces.

Narrative From Rosey's Postition
I wish I would've followed Gretchen to her house, I really don't want to go home, but if I don't, my sister will be alone with my dad for the entire night. Maybe I should tell someone about this at school, I can't handle it much longer… the abuse is getting more severe, and when the abuse stops my dad leaves us home for hours and hours, sometimes even a few days, and when he comes home he is drunk, and starts abusing us even more.

The Daily Disch
This is my webstie (technically it's weebly's) but I really need help with Ideas and just so you know, is not about food. If you are kind of slow and don't get the title, my last name is Dischler, so i took the Disch part out of it and put it in the title. http://www.thedailydisch.weebly.com/

Commercials
Most come without warning
They will wait, they will wait until you are vulnerable
Just sitting on the couch watching, and then it pounces
Completely unexpected, interrupting your enjoyment
Hatred and disbelief have risen
You try to calm down by turning the channel
But they keep invading your screen
Quick, merciless, and pure evil
The Wrath of the Commercials is inevitable.
Pet Punishers (Randomly thought of this)
Are you tired of coming home after a long day of work to find your walls and furniture mysteriously torn apart. Right away your probably think it was your cat or dog. Well before you punish your pet incorrectly, maybe you would like to call one of our Pet Punishers. Pet Punisher's offer a wide variety of options, for example if you cat is constantly hiding your car key on you, we can firmly place it in a pool and close the tarp. Too harsh you say? Well that's why we offer many options starting at Petty(a simple spray of water), and ending at Extreme( the closest you can legally get to animal abuse). About how much would you pay for our 'Pet Specialist'? $20, $50, $67.94? Well, you ONLY have to pay them $49 per punishment. You can order a Punisher now!! Just call 1-800-527-PETS, or you could visit us online at http://www.petpunisher.gov/. BUT THAT"S NOT ALL!!! If you order now, we will give you a 5 DVD series on how you can personally punish your pet! For free!!!
Perfection Isn't Perfect
Picture a perfect world, now imagine everyone in that world exactly the same. You're probably asking yourself "how could everyone be exactly the same? ", well, in a short story called "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. everyone is handicapped making everyone equal, meaning they cannot think because they have sensors in their ears, and weights on their arms and legs so they're not too strong. The main lesson in Kurt Vonnegut's story is that perfection isn't perfect.
How would you feel if every 20 seconds you heard blaring sounds that make you unable to think, not only would it be annoying to you, but to others who don’t have it they would be getting mad because you don’t know what they’re talking about. Already the flaws are showing, in this oh-so perfect plan. You know how there are those people who are huge and muscular on the football teams and are always scoring touchdowns, well in this ‘perfect’ world there are no all-stars, because that would be unjust.
You're probably thinking "Wow this future is messed up, and there is almost no hope for everyone." Well there is hope, and it comes in the form of a 14 year old boy named Harrison Bergeron. When Harrison makes his first entrance, everyone is so shocked because they are always surrounded by 'normal' people, so they over exaggerate how 'handicapped' he is. "The rest of Harrison's appearance was Halloween and hardware. Nobody had ever born heavier handicaps. He had outgrown hindrances faster than the H-G men could think them up. Instead of a little ear radio for a mental handicap, he wore a tremendous pair of earphones, and spectacles with thick wavy lenses. The spectacles were intended to make him not only half blind, but to give him whanging headaches besides.", said someone who was obviously over exaggerating at the sight of Bergeron.
Perfection isn't perfect, so as humans, making efforts to making everyone equal and perfect, isn't such a good idea, because our future might just end up like Harrison Bergeron's.

Proverbs from Proverbs
18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
2:20-22 Thus you may walk in the way of good men, and keep to the paths of the just. For the upright will dwell in the land, the honest will remain in it; But the wicked will be cut off from the land, the faitless will be rooted out of it.
3:13 Happy the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding!
4:14-15 The path of the wicked enter not, walk not on the way of evil men; Shun it, cross it not, turn aside from it and pass on.
9:12 If you are wise, it is to your own advantage; and if you are arrogant, you alone shall bear it.
