What Would Happen If Johnnys Mother Saw Him.

 
 

Johnny's P.O.V

The nurse walked in with someone behind her. For a minute I couldn't see clear. But then I realized it wasn't one of the boys and I knew my father would never come see me. So, it had to be my mother. This woman caused me so much pain. I remember telling the nurse I didn't want to see her.
 
"Oh god Johnny what a mess you got in. I thought you were smarter than that." My witchey mother said.
"Why are you here? And what do you mean? Are you talking about me saving those children in the fire." I responded.
"Yes you fool. you could've died. I mean the only people who would care would be your little buddies. You should've saved yourself like others would have." She said.
"But, mother i'm not heartless like you and father. you guys hate me so much. I don't even know why. You guys treat me like a object. An object you've thrown around and don't care for. which is why i'm glad my last breathing moments will be in here without you or father. Because in all reality you guys are the worst parents ever and i'm not afraid anymore, because I'm already dying. So why don't you do me a favor and just leave." I said harshly.
 
I didn't care what she had to say so I just spaced her out. This woman can't harm me anymore. I'm dying but i'm happy to go down a hero. I saved lives which is more than she could ever say she did.
 
About an hour of her rambling on while I wasn't listening and she finally left. Finally I find peace.

Why things are rough all around (the outsiders)


Why things are rough all around.

 In the Outsiders, Pony boy believes that the Socs have it so much better than the Greasers. But in all reality its rough all around.

On page thirty four Cherry says that, “I bet you think the Socs have it made.” By this she means that it’s not the truth. There’s more than meets the eye. Pony isn’t going to see what the others in the Socs see. He’s not going to feel what they feel. Pony will never fully understand because he’s not the same as them. Just like Cherry won’t ever fully understand the greasers.

Also on page thirty four Cherry says, “Things are rough all around.” Cherry has a really good point almost everyone had at least one problem. For example they only took their anger out on the greasers. They hold emotion in. The greasers don’t. That and there income are really the only differences.

Pony might disagree that the socs have everything and not a worry in the world, but, Cherry knows the truth.

Pony and cherry don’t see eye to eye on this topic. But nothings perfect. Not even for the socs. They all have it rough in some places.

Extreme Sport

  At the age of fourteen Chloe Kim was the youngest to win a golden medal at the winter

X-games. Young children should be allowed to do extreme sports. It makes kids stronger and mature and also, the risk is a part of life.

   Risk make us stronger. Jamie Burr, Professor of Exercise Physiology, University of Prince Edward Island, Canada says that,” It may be this very risk the helps get-and keep-people involved.” Think about it. The more risk they take will make them stronger. Taking risk will make them grow a little bit every day. Risk make us more involved. The more risk there is the more people there are.

  Also making risk is a part of life. Burr also said,” Risk is a fact of life”. Making risk can make you more mature. As they get older they will learn, that making risk is a part of life. No matter what you do you’re going to risk something. It’s not easy but it’s worth it.

   Vani Sabesan, Associate professor, Wayne University School of Medicine, Michigan argues that,” The most advanced protective equipment can’t prevent injuries.” However, these kids can get trained by professionals.

   Young children should be able to do extreme sports. Sometimes it’s their dreams. And you don’t want to destroy a child’s dream.

Defying the Capitol

 

 In the book catching fire, there are many acts of defiance. From Cinna to all the tributes. One way or another there defying the capitol, there turning the capitol against snow and making the rebellion worse.

There are many acts of defiance but I’m going to start with Katniss. So in Katniss’s private session she hangs a dummy with Seneca Cranes name on it. She did this because she knew that they killed Seneca because he let Katniss and Peeta survive instead of finding a way to kill one of them. Katniss says, “Show them I’m more than just a piece in their game.” This shows that Katniss is done playing the game makers and snows game. She is done letting them control her.

 Also Peeta painted rues body after she died when Katniss surrounded her with flowers from the first game. Peeta is reminding the capitol that is there fault and responsibility after they kill these kids. Peat says, “I just want to hold them accountable…” stating that he wants them to be responsible for their acts to try and show it’s more than a game for some people. Also Peeta told the capitol that he and Katniss are married and Katniss is pregnant.  He lied because him and the other tributes are trying to stop the games and he knows that the capitol we be more devastated if Katniss is pregnant because who wants to send a pregnant girl into the games. Peeta says, “If it wasn’t for the baby” to try to stop the games but snow will never cancel the games.

 The tributes hold hands in unity. This is bad because snow wants them to hate each other, to rip out each other’s throats. Haymitch says, “Everyone’s been sent home and they’ve canceled the recap of the interviews on the television”. This shows that the tributes have gotten to the capitol which made snow shut the interviews down because there was so much rebellion.

 Then Cinna defies the capitol by turning Katniss’s wedding dress into a mocking jay. This is the bird know as, “it’s the bird on the pin I wear as a token” but it’s also the symbol for the rebellion. Cinna knows that there’s a rebellion and he has faith in Katniss to lead it.

  Out of all the acts of defiance I would say Cinna’s was the worst. Cinna made Katniss a mocking jay the sign of the rebellion after snow ordered for her to wear her dress. Which is just going to aggravate snow and make things worse so now he’s going to do whatever I takes to stop this and the rebellion.

My Attitude About School

 
 
 
 
Over he years, my attitude about school has changed. When I was younger I felt that school was fun. Back then, my favorite part of the school day was recesess because I would just hang out with  my friends. When it came to school my biggest worry was to fail because I didn't want to have a bad report card.
 
 
 
Now that im in my final year of middle school I feel scared about school because im afraid im going to fail. Now my favorite part of the school day is math or reading because there my favorite subjects. Now when it comes to school my biggest worry is failing because our grades are what get us into collage.

When im a freshman next year, ill probably feel scared about the school because ill be at a new school with newer people and im afraid im going to fall down the stairs.
