WWII ( Ryan's story)

            It is June 6, 1944.  My name is Ryan and today is D-day, and it felt eerie, it was very strange.  I felt this way because I was the captain of my squad.  We cramped in a boat trying to get to Normandy.  We were in this boat for hours and cramped with one other squad.  I saw the beach and dead bodies every where.  When we came up to the beach they drop the door.  A storm of bullets hit us all at once.  I saw them kill 5 of my people all at once.  For the other squad, it was bad news for them.

 

            We ran up to the barbed wire fence.  It was small enough to walk over but we were being shot at so we stayed down.  I yelled “Move up.”  so we did.  Then I saw the rest of my company die all at once.  One died with a faulty grenade.  The other 2 were shot trying to move forward.  The last one was shot in the head by a German.  I ran to the other captains that lost their squad.  Their names were Daniel and Dan.

 

            We moved up with a company filled with about 20 men.  We moved up to where they were shooting from.  We took out Germans left and right.  The rest of the soldiers on the beach took out the bunkers with turrents.

 

            After we took the bunker out we all moved up.  We took out the other Germans.  In no time we took over the beach and the hill.  We took a break and geared up.  We waited there for the reinforcements came.  It took about 4 hours for them to show up.  We all felt eerie of what lies ahead of us.  Every where I look it makes me bias seeing these people cry and it makes me think they’re weak.  It is also making Daniel crazy.

 

            When we were waiting, we were talking about who we admired.  I said I adulate my dad who was in the military.  They said that they adulate my bravery.  They didn’t say, but I was happy.

 

            The reinforcements came and we got are orders.  Are orders were to go deeper into France.  We geared up, just the three of us.  We went and left everyone.  We ran to the bushes.  We heard a German half track.  Then we hear an explosion.  Our tank killed it.  We met up with this squad and stayed with them.  Their orders were the same as ours.  We left the tank because it was a big sitting duck.  When we got to the city, we saw a few Germans.  A guy ran out and was shot but not from the Germans.  It was a sniper.  Luckily we had a sniper in our group.  We held them off until he got ready.  It was weird, he would pray while he was shooting.  He was good that’s all that counts I adulate him and his sharp shooting.  When we took them out, it made Dan bias and that made the privates cry.  This sniper is very eerie and I would be afraid of him.  I would never make him tumultuous and if you make him angry he’ll mess someone up.  All these Germans are bias and I would bed mental too if I was getting beat.

 

            We then had to walk through a mine field.  One of the privates stepped on one and stayed.  One of our bomb pros with a subtle touch helped him escape the mine.  We were done then we went deeper into France.  This made us all tumultuous because we wanted it to be over.  We got a call from HQ to disarm all the mines in the city with a subtle touch.  We were all tumultuous and instead, we made sure that no one was around and we shot one mine and all of them went off.

 

            After we were done we were ambushed by Germans.  They came and took all of our weapons.  They made us dig holes for our own death then right when the first shot was about to go off, we heard explosions.  It was our planes.  It had bombed the city and scared the Germans from there.  we were saved.  This was my story of my experience in WWII.

 

 

Camping

Camping

On Friday, June 14 2006, my family and I went camping to Bakersfield. It was a long car ride. But going to Bakersfield made me tumultuous. I was excited because I never been to Bakersfield and I wanted to see what it looks like. I had a bias how the lake or river look or feel like. It took two hours to get there. When we got there, it was way different from Paris Lake. You can camp there, the river was really long and the water current was strong. There were cows on the other side of the river. There were bathrooms almost everywhere. The only thing that was subtle was the small field across the river because it was faraway and hard to find. The river was eerie because it looks like the current could carry you out the small area and take you far. Later, my friend went in the water, he said the water was great and warm. I was still eerie about the water. It locked cold and really dangerous because the current can take you when you don’t expect it. I got my water gun and started wetting my cousin with it. The water was not subtle on his face until a few seconds when he reacted to it. After that, he got mad.
When he got mad, he was in a tumultuous mode. He wanted to get revenge on me. He kept on coming toward me when I kept wetting him with the water gun. I adulated him because he didn’t give up easily but I was shooting him like crazy and everywhere. He was getting even more wet. Then he got an idea. I had a bias his idea would get me wet. I was right when he took out the hose and connected to the sink and wet me badly. I was even wet than him. I was so mad that I got a water balloon and threw it at his face. It hit his face and he got even madder. We kept on wetting each other. My friends came and shot some sticky stuff from his water gun. It hit my neck and it was sticky like gum but it was really small. I had to go wash it off until it was gone off my neck and my neck wasn’t sticky anymore. After that, I went to go eat lunch. I ate two cheese burgers and drank two sodas. I was so full I lied down on my hammock for awhile. I was getting ready to get ready to swim the eerie river that look weird and dangerous.
When I went to the river, a lot of people were swimming in the water. They were tumultuous. They were having fun and others were confused and didn’t know what to do. There was this one guy that nobody subtle him. He was swimming out of the current. When he made big splashes near the people, then they noticed him. I adulated him for being a good swimmer. I still had a bias about the river but I still got in. It was the coldest water I have ever been to. It was so cold I wanted to get out but I didn’t. I was getting deeper and deeper until it hit my midsection. Right there, I couldn’t take it and got out. I never wanted to go in that water ever again. My cousin could get past me, only behind me. My girl cousin, barely jump in the water and the current took her.
Since she wasn’t a good swimmer, the current still took her. We could have never found her if it wasn’t for my friends dad. He jumped in the river and grabbed her by the arm and swam back to shore with her. My cousin went into that river ever again. Her dad was laughing at her because she barely got in the water and the river’s current took her. She thought he was going to hit her but he didn’t. For dinner, I ate carne asada which is steak. After that we started packing. We told every one we were leaving and two hours later we arrive home and fall asleep.

Political History

Davions life after RMMS

After Richard Merkin middle school I am going to try and get myself a summer job, The reason why is because I am going to high school and the school that I am going to attend is culver city high and the reason why I would like to go to that school is because I wont to play basketball at that school.
If I don’t get my summer job I will go to Texas and go visit my cousin and my aunty and my uncle out there, the have a 5 bed room house and two and a half bath rooms. And my cousin is the same age as me, so we would get along really well.
Is this summer I might go up to Gym Gilliam, and teach there and Gym Gilliam is a park. And when I go up there I will be teaching little kids the fundamentals of playing basketball, and that will be another summer job for me, and when I go up there I will be working with one of my fellow classmate and his name Darien Rodgers.
And there is something else I’m going to do and that is going to the studio and the reason why is because I know how to sing and I’m not afraid to sing in front of people are any body.
So this summer I have lot of things I would have to do and so my summer is all pack up. And I will never be waiting at home at all the end.

My Plans After RMMS (Ryan)

My plans after RMMS is to go to college. The college I want to go to is UCLA. I would like to stay there for 4 years and study Architecture. After college I want to be a Architect. I want to be a architect because they make a lot of money and I like to draw blue prints on my free time. I know now a days it’s harder to be an architect so I will still try to succeed with being an architect. If that doesn’t work out for me, I want to be a S.W.A.T. officer. I would like to be on the S.W.A.T. because I want peace in our society. I would also want to do that because it is good to bring peace.
For the summer break I am going to Cancun. Maybe after that I would go dirt bike riding with all my family and stay over in the desert. I will also like to go airsofting with friends and family. And for the end of summer I will go to summer school and Las Vegas. The summer school is for the high school I will be attending. I didn’t want to go but I have to because it’s a requirement. I will be going to Las Vegas for my basketball tournament. I am on a team and we are the host for the tournament. Then when summer vacation is over I would have to go to Gertz-Ressler for High School.
That is what I’m going to do for summer and my future.

SUMMER VACTION (Daniel)

Right after I graduate, I'm going to relax at home. I will watch, play video games, go on the computer, play tug of with my dog, and much, much more. I'm going to visit friends and families. We would just hand out and mess around with each other. I will go to places like fast food places and the mall. I will go buy games, clothes, shoes, and other stuff.
When it's July, I'm going to Gertz Ressler High School during the summer for summer school. It's going to be for two weeks. I'm going to see how Gertz Ressler really is. How the teachers are, how hard is the work, quizzes, and tests, how much homework they give us, how the project look likes, what are the rules in the school, what is the punishment for not following the rules, and what kind of classes they have. During the two weeks, I can get used the expectations of Gertz Ressler.
After summer school, I'm going to do what I did before summer school. Play video games, watch tv, go the computer watching videos, play tug of war with my dog, and visit friends and family. Eventually, I'm going to be bored. I'll have nothing to do. Then I'm just going to excercise. Try to lose weight, get stronger, faster. My body has to learn to go past it's limit. When I'm going to highschool, I'll be ready to exercise a lot in P.E class. After that, I'm going to start being on the computer again. Last, I'll go to Gertz Ressler Highschool, starting nine grade.

American society is obsessed with image

The American society is obsessed with a lot of looks. They don’t like fat people being on covers of magazines. Hot girls like to go out with skinny and slim guys instead of overweight people. And the fat guys want 2 go out with the hot girls. It’s all about image in this world.thats what they all want.
If you look on movies, you see hot actors in it. When they have an award ceremony, you only see famous and hot people. They record them because people little like images. Girls would want hot guys. Hot guys would like hot girls. Would you like to have a fat girlfriend or a fat boyfriend? Would you probably say no because they are not skinny or hot. Would you like to go out with a hot guy or a hot girl? You would like because she has an image. She’s not ugly or fat. Everybody likes images. They want to marry people who are hot not ugly and they barely like fat people. They only marry them because they make a lot of money or they have a good personality. Later they get divorced with them for their money or they stay with them because they love them and want to live with the forever.

This is a connection to Cyrano de Bergerac because everyone is trying to find love. And just like Cyrano, Christian, valvert, and other people fight in Cyrano de Bergerac the fight in the book and the movie. In the real world we fight for reasons they fight. And we fight for stupid reasons to. This also relates because they judge Christian about how he dresses. And people in this world dress in their own way but other people like to judge other people. They care about their fashion.

Current Event

The current event I choose was about a guy who was framed by a teenager. The reason I choose it because it sounded interesting and it seemed very unfair. It was about a teacher who was framed by a student in the same school as him. The police arrived and asked if they can search his car. He said they could search his car.

When they searched his car, they found an unloaded shotgun and a gram of marijuana. He told the cops that was not his stuff. The police didn't believe him ,they arrested him and they put him in jail. He kept on telling the police it wasn't his but the police didn't believe him. Later, the police finds it wasn't him and they let him go.

The police station said the day when they search the teacher's car, earlier a student called off campus. He told the police that the teacher was selling drugs to the student. He told them the teacher's name, what school he teaches and more. The teacher said he is a good person, who comes from a good family and background. That's why the shotgun was not his and the marijuana.

Family and their Values

Different families have different values. And each person has a different idea of a value. A value is what a person cares about most. Some values are like spending time with your family. And other people value just their family alone.

I value my family and some people do to. But some people might not value anything. And some people value lots of money. It is every ones choice to choose what their value is. Everyone in my group says that education is important and that they value it to. I value that because I could do many things after my education. It will also help me get a job or become very successful. Most people that don't value education are not smart and they are going to be successful as everyone else is. I also know that my family thinks its important to. They think it is because they want me to because they want me to be successful.

My other value is spending time with my family. I value this because my family is the most important to me. I spend time with my family so I'm more attached to them. And the more I append time with them the more I value them. And I value them and I spend time with them as much as I can because they wont be hear for a long time.

People that don't have a value doesn't have a life. People even value other people. Like how people value me. My parents are the only people that value me. Samuel values sports because it helps you. His mom values basketball and football . Daniel values education because he wants to wants to do good in life. Davion also values education, basketball, and what his parents tell him.

So a value is something you care about most. Many people have different and many values too.

Life As A Middle School Student At Richard Merkin

"Richard Merkin middle school has been a great experience for us 8th graders, we have been going through lots of obstacles, and have achieve lots and lots of things. For example trying to turn our work in and trying to pass a certain class we need helping. But even though the work is hard we still have lots of fun no doubt about it.
When we were entering the six grade every thing basically change three reason why is because we were entering middle school and we were around a whole bunch of new faces, and a new environment. Even though we enter middle school we were the only middle school kids there and we were our on leaders no older kids could tell us what to do, But even tough we came from a small school we still made it very fun and exciting.
So after defeating the six grade we came back over the summer and we enter our new school, and when coming back we had little six graders up under us and that made us fill good because we were the oldest of our own school and no others in front of us besides the teachers. And the best thing about the whole situation was that we had a new school and it was much more bigger than our last one. But it was also fun that we had six graders up under us because they could look up to us and ask us for help when they need some. They were like little brothers and sisters to us but you just can't hit on them.
And by 8th grade we were very excited our not excited but happy because we are about to graduate soon and we were going too bigger and better things. Eight grade was very fun because we had our 8th grade camping trip and we went to six flags and so overall 8th grade was very fun. And those were the best days of Richard Merkin Middle School Class of 08"
