My dream travel place!!!!

The place I would love to travel to is Miami Florida. Florida has the best weather and beautiful marsh lands and swamp lands. The other thing I like about Florida is how clean and clear the water looks, and the palm trees look so cool when they sway in the wind. I would really love to move there, and just get away from Salem and its cold weather. Florida has dangerous animals like alligators, crocodiles, and poisonous snakes. I wouldn't mind living in Florida just as long as nothing gets in my house like no snakes or anything. Alltogether Florida would be a great place to live.

How I feel about the snow

Personally, I don't care for the snow. Every time it snows it always gets way too cold, and really bad freezing weather. When it snows I just sit in my house and look out my window and think about playing outside, but then I just change my mind and sit on my couch and watch television. So yeah, I really don't think it is going to snow, but if it does then oh well.

Essay Evaluation

In the book I am reading The Absolutely True Diary Of a Part-Time Indian. by Sherman Alexie. Is about a boy named Junior who lives on a reservation and has a friend named Rowdy. Then Junior starts going through a lot of pain and heartache. His grandma dies, he loses his friendship with Rowdy. Then he realizes how to look at things in a different way, and learns how to cope with the bad things in his life.

Junior's friendship between him and Rowdy is really difficult to understand. Him and Rowdy are best friends but Rowdy likes to pick on Junior, and beat him up a lot. Then the next minute Rowdy likes to talk to Junior, and be around him and stick up for him when Junior is getting picked on.

 Rowdy's life is really complicated because his home life. His dad is a huge drinker and beats Rowdy, so Rowdy has to beat up on Junior. I don't think Rowdy likes beating up Junior. I think Junior is there for Rowdy to change his ways and make him see how to be a good friend and not be a bully.

 Junior has gone through a lot with his friendship with Rowdy and he had to deal with a lot of other things when he was a kid. He had to deal with his dad drinking when he was little. It was really hard for Junior to cope with the fact that his father was a major drinker. So Junior figured that alcoholism is extremely bad because it causes death and pain.

Most of the time Junior dealt with friendships, deaths, and heartaches. He had to deal with his grandma dying, losing Rowdy as a friend, then losing his dads friend Eugene which was like an uncle to Junior. He really hated the fact that he lost Rowdy as a best friend, but people change and grow apart from each other no matter how long they have been friends.

Through the long run of Junior's life he has dealt with a lot of pain and anguish. I think he shows a good way of coping with everything that has happened to him. He deals with those things by looking at life in a different way, by making new friends, and getting a semi-girlfriend. His new friend is Gordy, and his semi-girlfriend is Penelope. She is there to help Junior, and Junior is there to help Penelope. Penelope and Gordy are Junior's true friends they look out for Junior and guide him through school, and show him how to fit in.

Gordy was  mean to Junior the first day of school, and then he changed his ways, and Junior got a new best friend.

A time when I felt like I didn't fit in!!!!!!!

The first day of my freshman year at Mckay High School was really scary. I woke up early in the morning, got dressed, ate breakfast, walked out my front door, and caught the school bus. I finally got to school. I was so nervous. I didn't know anybody. The teachers, the building, and all the other kids were totally new to me. After I made friends, I started to feel more confident. I actually was finding my classes, and being on time.
