Marine Mammals

I think marine mammals should not be kept in captivity because.. 1) the way they capture them is dangerous and some even die when they get caught and 2) my second reason is whales need a lot of free space to swim and the sea world tanks are not that deep and whales travel in groups 3) my third reason is there getting took out of there environment and there wild animals so some some don't last and some may even die i just think its wrong to keep them locked up in tanks when there used to swimming for long distances and in groups. marine mammals should not be kept in captivity .

The road less traveled

The road less traveled is not always an easy road to take but I took that road. Most girls would have given up and just took the easy way out, but I didn’t I made a choice that would change my life forever I chose to keep my baby and that was the most grown up decision I ever had to make I had two options, but I couldn’t picture myself doing that to my own child it wasn’t anyone’s fault but mine. I wanted the normal teenage life, party, high school, prom, gradation but all my plans changed when I found out I was pregnant I wasn’t going to be a normal teen I had to change my whole life and that was really hard I wanted to be selfish and get an abortion but I just couldn’t. I felt like my life was over and that I wasn’t going to have a good life for my baby. I didn’t know how to tell the baby’s father I was so scared I had so many feelings going on inside but I told, him he was scared too we were so young but I couldn’t kill my baby, my mom was so sad and couldn’t believe her baby was having a baby my whole family was shocked because I was the good girl. Some said to give her up for adoption but I didn’t want to do that to my child but eventually they got over it. I didn’t want to throw all my dreams away so I kept going to school I have to make a good life for me and my baby, and the day I had her was the best she was 8 pounds 4ounces and she was born on December 22, 2007. I couldn’t believe she was mine most girls would have been on Christmas brake but I was having a baby she was so beautiful I feel in love right when I seen her she was the best thing that ever happened to me .well I’m 17 now and I’m still in school my baby is going to be two and I’m planning to graduate and go to college I know that school is the best thing for me I love my life its hard but I wouldn’t change it for the world she makes me so happy. I love her fat cheeks and her beautiful smile .

I think its really sad that she went threw that. I hope that girls learn from her situation and choose to leave if there in that situation, i think shes a really strong person to speak about it and to leave and to say that its not okay to be in a abusive relationship. i hope he learned his lesson and i hope she never goes back i think she can do way better anyways i hope every girl who goes threw this or went threw it learned and takes a second thought about staying because it could of been worse and she could of died.

To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing this letter to you today to express how much Cal-Safe means to me and my daughter. Since my baby has been in this program she has progressed so much and knows how to interact with other babies and my daughter loves me to read to her, every day she brings me the same book and sits on my lap and I read it to her .she also sings the songs they teach her in the program and she is only fifteen months old. And this program gives me a chance to be in school and get my diploma and I can go on to college and be a probation officer and make a good living for me and my child. The Cal-Safe program provides activities like music and they teaches them to read and there colors they also have breakfast ,lunch, and snacks so I don’t have to worry about bringing my child food.

Words Alive Discussion

Yesterdays discussion about piece of cake was really good, i liked that we all knew about the book and that every one participated, i learned that everyone has their own opinion about the book. I really loved this book because even though she had a horrible life she still went forward and did something with her life and that shows that even if you have a messed up life you can still become something . The ladies that came were really nice and they also knew a lot about the book and i liked that they didn't judge her for the things shes done.

Cupcake

Dot wouild be a subordinate character because she never talked at all in the story and she didnt affect the story in anyway.

Cupcake is a dynamic character because during the whole story her life is changing, sometimes for the good but for the bad too, her life changed for the good because she got out of the foster home and got a job,house, and she got Emancipated . Then it changed for the bad because she started to use drugs more and more and started to sell them as well.

Mr Burns(cupcakes father) is a static character because in the begining of the story he uses cupcake and her mothers money and at the end he calls cupcake and trys to brainwash her into just to get her money .

A piece of cake

Cupcakes new conflict is that she moved in with her dad and she lives with three hoes and that every one around her uses drugs.

I think the type of conflict is (self vrs society) because people around her are using drugs.

I think the resolution is that shes going to realize that her life is messed up and that she wants to change so shes probably going to get another job and move out .

The Secret Life Of The Bees

~What do "secret life of bees" have to do with racisim?

1) The Secret life of the bees has to do with racism because in the book they treat the African americans different than the white people. This book took place in the times where racism wasn't illegal and they would treat the colored people like they weren't worth nothing and would beat them when they were in jail, some would even get killed.

~Can you relate to the story and to her experiences with racism ? What experiences have you had to deal with that are similar to Lily?

2) I can relate to Lily in a way because people are racist till this day its not the way it was before but there is racism in this world still. And i relate to her because i am a young mother and sometimes people think thats wrong and they act wierd and ask questions and they tell me im dumb for having a baby so young but i love my baby, and thats how i can relate to her story .
