Mom's Bridesmade Speech.

Hello everybody. Before I say a few words, I would like to thank you all for being here today, so that we can support Karen and Nick on their special day.
I have known Karen for 13 years, seems like a long time but with your best friend it can seem like days, with each new day a new experience that we can look back on, laugh at and cherish. I hope that we can look back on this one day too, and Karen and Nick will still be able to remeber how perfect for each other they truly are. Not everyone can find that someone and I know that these two have ..and Karen couldn't have picked a better man. I love you Karen.. and I love you too Nick, and I hope that we can always consider eachother family. So as my family, Id just like us to remeber this one thing.
Taking a walk on the beach, feet in the sand, when the tide rolls in the foot prints wash away as if they never happened.. that is how it is with our pasts, so here is a toast to the future and to Karen and Nicks future together. Thank you... and I love you both. Best of luck.

idk a story.

Everybody says that every story has a happy ending..
Well the way that my life has been going im not thinking that mine wont end that way..
My life has been miserable and i dont think that i will have a happy ending .. Maybe i have done something in a past life to deserve this, but im not so sure of anything anymore.

Your probably wondering what i am talking about so let me fill you in..
See my life used to be great, wonderful, I thought I had everything in the world that anyone could have had and many people were actually envious of my life.. but that was before..

Three months ago..

"Heyyyyyy keshia" I cried not really caring that people in the atrium were all staring at me.
"Ugh, don't do that it embarasses me!" Keshia whined, her face turning the brightest red ever seen.
"I know that it bugs you, that's exactly why I do it to you.. but you love me, don't try to fight the inevitable" I laugh. Keshia and I have been best friends since I can remember and so we both pick on each other a lot. We are best friends unconditionally.
"You are such a jerk sometimes, you know all of those people were looking at me.." she said pointing to the grade twelves on the stairs.
"Who cares keys, maybe they just like what they see.." I laughed at my own joke, I totally thought it was funny. She didn't and I got a good whack for that one.
"Which class do you have next keys?" I questioned, but realized I knew it, "Never mind, upstairs, it just slipped my mind."
"Meet me here after math okay?" she said as she began to walk away. I knew all her classes and she knew mine, true besties!
"I will," I said heading in the opposite direction. Keshia and I have all different classes because she is in an older grade than me, I am grade 10, she's in 11. Although we shared no classes we still managed to see eachother in between each class and hang out after school. We never got to hang out at lunch though. We have two lunches, I had first lunch, and Keshia had second. The only time that we got to hang out at lunch was when I skipped math or she skipped english, which usually ended with her in detention. Keshia was one of those students who was a familiar face in the office, and most teachers knew her. I on the other hand was an under the radar student. Only the teachers that taught me knew me, I was the good kid in our group. The good kid, with the good grades and never in trouble. Keshia and me were so opposite but at the same time we were the exact same, our personalities meshed together like peannut butter and jelly.

Live Right Now

Time either goes too s.l.o.w or too fast;
learn to enjoy it.
Years from now you’ll regret that you didn’t.

You work to live, not live to work.
Don’t bring your troubles home with you.
Leave your worries at the door.

Tell yourself before you go to bed every night
That you can do ANYTHING,
and you do the best you can.
It will give you the confidence to carry on.

Rely only on yourself.
Expect nothing from others,
but thanks graciously when others do for you.
Then return the favor.

Be generous,
but don’t endanger your pocket.

Don’t over spend.
Life is about the moment,
not the material in it.

Don’t criticize yourself when you look into the mirror..rrorim
Your imperfections are what make you
beautiful.

Pity the HARSH words of others,
for their words
are a window
to seeing into their soul.

Just because you’ve lost,
Doesn’t mean you should stop playing the game.
There are brighter days ahead.


The past is the past;
don’t linger on it. It will only make you unhappy.
Trying to change the past is like
trying…. to….stop….the….rain.

Don’t tell people to do as you say,
not as you do.
Your actions speak LOUDER than your words.

a story..

"Jaded Thursdays"
It was a regular Thursday for me. I woke up and Mom wasn’t home. I didn’t know where she was, but I knew she would be back . . . sooner or later. My brothers and I got ready for school and carried on as usual. I was a troubled, out-spoken kid then, thinking the lifestyle I had adapted to was normal. But it wasn’t. I discovered that later on in the day when they called me away from my seventh grade class and asked me if I could please go to the principal’s office. As I walked to the office, my mind was in a race with my feet, trying to figure out what offence I had committed this time. But before my mind could catch up, I was there, knocking on the door of her office.
The door opened, revealing my mother, drowning in a pool of her own tears and sadness, as well as two people whom I did not recognize. I took a seat and began realizing the situation I was in. As the tears began to break me down, I realized it was happening again, only this time it was as if I was more aware of it happening, and the reasons behind it. I was being taken away from my mother once again; I was being ripped from the clutches that had nurtured me from the stage of infancy. The two people turned out to be the reapers of my fate, sent by their mother agency, the Children’s Aid Society. They began to explain how they had received a phone call from a doctor the night before. That previous night, my mother had decided to dip into an old habit; she dipped herself right into an overdose. I shattered, like a mirror, into pieces. The disappointment overwhelmed my heart to the point of gasping breaths. Choking on my own tears, I walked to my locker to retrieve my belongings. I was going for a ride with the male of the two reapers who were in the office. He was taking me to my new home for the next chapter of my life. It was a long, quiet ride. A time to think.

Let us zoom out a little bit, and take a look at life beforehand. I was the poor kid. So what? I had friends, and a sarcastic, mean sense of humour. I was the kid in public school who was suspended many times. The kid who hated authority. So every time I was in trouble, I’d fight it, like a self-employed lawyer. It never got me anywhere, but it provided a bit of fun. Everyone thought it was awesome that I had the "guts" to say what I did. But back in that office, I could see the hurt in her eyes. I could feel the hurt inside myself; it was one of the most uncomfortable environments to be in. I had someone telling me that my life was going to totally change from here on out. After the "taking" and "distribution" of my brothers and me, I knew "The Man" had won his case. I no longer felt that bit of excitement and joy I once did. I was left broken, bloodied, and bruised. I was a wounded lion, with nothing left but the rest of his days. And I hated it. I hated them. I hated everyone. It was about this time that I stopped discussing my emotions, feelings, and basic opinions with those around me, because I felt no one cared to listen. Besides, no one would understand.
Being taken away from my mother at the age of twelve caused a ripple effect in the ocean I had called life. Its waves altered and disrupted my destined path in new ways. Being moved to somewhere new, where I had to adapt to a new environment, new people, and a new life changed me. I met new people who, otherwise, I never would have met. These people have impacted my life in good and bad ways, helping to create who I am. Some in good ways and some ways bad. I have a very dark perception of life, and an overall hatred of the whole idea of what our lives are and what they are going to be. But, like everyone, I have my ways of coping with the loss and the rioting emotions. There are positive ripples also, as odd as that seems. For example, I am planning on attending college, getting a good career, and helping kids who are going through the same things I was and am going through. I believe that I can really make a difference in some kid’s life, or at least, so I hope.
It was a regular Thursday, but that Thursday would change me forever. Now, I’m just me, being me, and that’s all anyone can really do. In hindsight, my situation was a horrible time for me, and still cuts at my soul. But it has painted a brighter future for me, granted me more opportunities, and the friends I have made since are remarkable people. They have all been the artist’s hands in molding what I am today, and who I’ll be in the future. I will go on facing yesterday with a frown, today with a grimace, and tomorrow with a smile.

research report

Unlike many wars that our world has seen throughout its duration of life; such as WW2

There was a war that did not cause harm through fighting physically, although there were deaths as a result of the inevitable conflicts.

Which introduced us to The Cold War

-a state of hostility between rival countries, that stops short of actual fighting (Watts, 9)

So what caused the cold war? These questions cannot be answered exactly, unless you realize t what happened and which actions followed.

The Yalta Conference
Was a conference held in Crimea on February 4th-11th, 1945. Which had brought together the allied leaders(website one)

During the conference, Poland was given back its independance and its national elections. Yugoslavia was given its own government. in both cases, Nazi and facists leaders were specifically prohibited.

After the conference, friction arose over in Germam surrender negotiations in Italy. Franklin D. Roosevelt died on April 24th, 1945 (Fleming, 821). Speeches were made by newly elected Truman and opposing governer Molotov.

The speech of Harry S. Truman newly appointed American leader, was of great importance. "It is onw of the fundamentals of American policy," Truman announced, "That we shall refuse to recognize any government imposed upon any nation by the force of any foreign power." (LaFeber, 1). Molotov also made an opposing
-This shows that the successfull alliance had already divided on ideological, economic and political issues. Which I believe was an immediate cause of the alliance's division.

---------------

There were many more issues that were faced by American's regarding the Soviet Union and space advancements such as Lunik.
Lunik was a rocket, that like the rocket boys launched but better, and there were three Luniks. The Lunik was a rocket that carried scientific instruments which were used, among many things, to measure the moon and the Earth's magnetic fields as well as belts of radiation surrounding the Earth. (Watts, 183). These launches of Lunik also frightened American's for fears that these rockets were not only for measuring these things, but many believed that it was for the Russians to "spy" on them.

((** PUT THIS BEFORE CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS**))
There were many more issues that arose after the launching of the rockets and one of these conflicts that continued was the Berlin wall.
The Berlin wall was built by the Soviets to stop the flood of people attempting to escape from Eastern Germany. This shows how immature people can be, this wall was built by the Soviets to provide assurance that the democratic ways stayed in the southern parts of Germany.

There were many more issues that pertained to the Cold War.

ENGLISH PART 2

What I Think Log: Chapters 1-5

By:Katrina Stevens

During the reading of the novel October Sky, there were a few things that I came across that reminded me of myself. In the story, Sonny describes how there are two distinct phases of his life, his life before Sputnik and everything that follows. Well, I think that this relates to me because there are really two distinct phases of my life too. There is my life in the city and then all that follows, and all that is soon to come in my life in the country. Some one told me that once you come to Marmora, you won't be able to leave, and I think now since I am here, I just may not be able to bring myself to leave this place. Another thing in the story that I was defineatly able to relate myself to was when Sonny tried to tell his father about his decision to build a rocket and his father obviously ignored him and didn't even recognize that he was being spoken to. That is how it is sometimes in my house, I will have to say things more than once just for him to comprehend the fact that he is being spoken to. In regards to Sonny's family, my family is very similar, I don't always get along with my brothers and sisters and I like to believe that I get along better with my mother than I do with my father. Also, my siblings are a major pain, and I can rarely get along with more than one of them at the same time. Unlike in the story where Sonny's father has a extreme devotion to his job, my father doesn't have a devotion at all towards anything other than my family. Sometimes I think that the role of the parents in accordance with their jobs, may be the exact opposite of the characters in the novel. My father could be Elsie, as for his devotion is towards my family, and my mother could be Homer, for she has a devotion towards her job, but in a less of a degree. My parents could relate to Homer and Elsie, but not in the way of how they treat Sonny. One other thing that I found quite funny was that Sonny's mother's name is Elsie, and that is also my grandmother's name and I know that my grandmother favours me over any of her grandchildren. The last thing that I am able to relate almost exactly, was how Homer went to the door and was arguing with Mr. Dubonnet. Well, my father was always the one that would go to the door to argue with other people, but unlike Homer he never did it calmly. My father wouldn't argue over work, but it was usually over something that me or my brother did outside to someone, like beat them up or pick on them to the extent that they would end up going home crying. There are many things that I am able to relate to in this novel, and some may not be so good. This story is so far been quite a good one, I may not be able to relate to anything that has to do with rockets or with coal, but I was able to relate to other things that have happened to the characters in the story. The story is developing in a unique way that leaves the reader curious as to what has happened after that. The book may not be a thriller or an adventure, but it is very realisitc, maybe for the fact that it is based on a true story. I hope that Sonny ends up being able to get his family to see how much that he can really do. I cannot wait to continue the novel and fulfill the curiousity within me and to see how the plot may thicken from this point on.

ENGLISH

A Positive Relationship

In my opinion Elsie and Homer do have a positive marital relationship. Eventhough Homer and Elsie do have an occasional arguement, they are always able to work it out. One reason for their positive marital relationship is that they constantly reminding each other that they do have one another. Elsie reminded Homer she chose him to be with her when Homer said, "You could have had your pick." and Elsie replied as if it were the simplest answer in the world, "I did." Which had proven that she had a choice, and that the decision she made was apparent. Elsie and Homer together, have a very positive marital relationship, even with the ups and downs that may arrise.

My Life Would Suck Without You

Guess this means you're sorry
You're standing at my door
Guess this means you take back
All you said before
Like how much you wanted
Anyone but me
Said you'd never come back
But here you are again

(Chorus)
Cuz we belong together now, yea
Forever united here somehow, yea
You got a piece of me
And honestly
My life (my life)
would suck (would suck) without you

Maybe I was stupid
For telling you goodbye
Maybe I was wrong
For tryin' to pick a fight
I know that I've got issues
But you're pretty messed up too
Either way I found out I'm nothing without you

(Chorus)

Being with you is so dysfunctional
I really shouldn't miss you,
But I can't let you go,
Oh yeah
{ music break}

Cuz we belong together now, yea yea
Forever united here somehow, yea
You got a piece of me
And honestly

My life (my life) would suck (would suck) without you
Cuz we belong (yeah) together now (together now), (yeah)
Forever united here somehow, yea
You got a piece of
Me And honestly

*A theme is a simile that is used in written text to relate to idioms or to work in a message or lesson. This message is usually about life, society or human nature. The theme is created by the messages, displaying a meaning to the text. The movie "Angus" and the story "A Brief Moment in the Life of Angus Bethune" by Chris Crutcher, are very different in the way that they develop their themes of the stories, but the themes that are portrayed in both are very similar. Some of the themes that were portrayed in both the movie and in the story were that you always have to stick up for your family no matter what, also, be yourself because it is more than okay to be different, and lastly do not judge people by the way that they look. Although the themes of the story were developed in quite different ways, in the end, they were still portrayed as main messages, and in both cases they are still very valuable in accordance with real life.
*One of the themes that were portrayed in the story were to stick up for your family no matter what. In the story, this theme is developed by the conflict between Angus versus his peers and also his parents. The parents in the story were homosexual, and this had caused much conflict. Angus had to stand up for his parents in the story when people like Rick were causing a fuss about his parents' sexual orientation, by saying things rudely about them towards Angus. The rude comments had set Angus off and forced him to stand up for his parents, by saying that he does not care what their orientation is, because they were monogamous for a very long time. Saying this showed that Angus loved his parents. Although in the movie, Angus' parent was not gay, and she was single, there was still a time that Angus had to stand up for his family. Angus' grandfather was the one that he defended in the movie. His grandfather was a very elderly man, and he wished to marry a woman that was several years younger than he. The people in the movie that opposed to this marriage was Angus' mother. She did not like the fact that her father was getting married to a woman that she did not approve of because of the age difference, and this also caused a fuss. Angus defended his grandfather from his mother, and this also showed that he loved his grandfather, and that he stuck up for his family. The events that occured in the movie did not exactly match the events in the story, but the theme, stick up for your family, was still present, and the theme was still shown.
*Another one of the themes that we developed differently throughout the movie and the story, is to be yourself because it is very much okay to be different. In the movie, "Angus", there are many ways in which Angus decides to be different. Angus and his grandfather went shopping for a suit, and Angus desired one that was 'normal' or 'socially acceptable' as Angus reffered to it as. They ended up purchasing a suit that was not 'normal' like Angus wanted, but they did purchase a suit that was very different. Angus did not want to wear the suit, but after his grandfather's passing, he recieved the suit from his grandfather's ex-wife to be. He decided then and there that he was going to wear the suit anyhow. Angus decided that he was going to heed his grandfather's words "screw 'em" and go to the dance. After the drama ocured at the dance, Angus made a huge impressionable speech about normality. That was when he had said to Rick "...if you're normal, what does that make them, not normal? And if being normal means being like you, then I'm glad that I am not normal..." The movie also shows how with Angus' science experiment he proved that nothing is normal, because if something is not 'normal' then the 'normal' substance has to conform so that the non-normal substance can also co-exsist with it. In the story, Angus does not make a fancy speech, or do a science experiment on normality, but he does prove that he does not care that he is not considered normal, or socially acceptable, by going to the dance to be crowned eventhough he realizes that it was a joke. In both the film and the story, Angus was brave to be different, and this proves the theme's message, that not everyone is normal, and that is very much alright to be different.
*The last theme that was portrayed differently throughout the movie and the story was to not judge a book by its cover. In the story Angus' crush Melissa appeared to be a popular girl that would never go for a guy like Angus. Melissa seemed as if she had no flaws and that made her seem perfect. Angus was quick to judge Melissa, and his judgements were wrong. Melissa was not rude like other popular people are viewed as, for she was extremely nice, especially to Angus. At the dance, when Rick was trying to embarrass Melissa by making her dance with Angus, she did the opposite, was not embarrassed by him, but she was proud. Also, Melissa was not perfect, and she did indeed have flaws. She had opened up to Angus when he pointed out that he could not dance, and she explained to him how she was bulimic and how she did not really like Rick. She helped Angus to dance, so he would not make a fool out of himself like Rick had intended. Angus ended up getting to leave with Melissa also, and that showed how he was wrong and that he could get the girl that he thought would never go for someone like him. Melissa Lefevre proved that she was kind, thoughtful and and most of all not perfect like Angus percieved her to be. This is one way that story displays the theme, do not judge a book by its cover. The movie also does a good job of displaying the same theme. In the movie, the theme is displayed when the incident where Angus' friend Troy was 'helping' Angus to learn to dance before the Winter ball. He got Angus to dance with a blow up doll and he videotaped it. This also caused Melissa embarrassment because on the tape it showed how Angus was talking about how he liked her. This shows that that Troy was thought of to be kind and to be a loyal friend, but it turned out that he was the opposite. Troy was proved to be a lieing, conieving untrustworthy person. Angus had miss judged him and this caused people to get hurt. Even though Troy did what he did, he was still forgiven by Angus. This incident proves that you should never judge a book by its cover, because you just may end up being wrong, getting hurt, or you may end up happier in the end.
*There are several themes that were dispalyed throughout the movie that helped show the characteristics of the characters. The messages that were delivered were helpful in relation to reality, that you should always defend your family, no matter what circumstance, you should always be brave and do not conform because you are frightened, just be yourself, and lastly do not judge a book by its cover, because there will always be a consequence. The consequences may not always be good, and they may not always be hurtful, but the risk of the judgement is always there. The themes are applicable to real life and eventhough they were displayed in different ways, they were still recieved by the readers and viewers, through the many incidents occuring in the plots of both the movie "Angus" and the story "A Brief Moment in the Life of Angus Bethune" written by Chris Crutcher.

(hopefully i dont have to die.. cuz i love myself! lmfao) but if i had to..they all kno that i would.

Good and fit father, Mr.Weston.(for school)

Mr.Weston is a very fit and good father. Throughout the story Mr.Weston was there for his family when they needed him most and he had certain qualities that showed throughout his personality more than others. One reason for the belief that Mr.Weston is a good father is because he is honest, he is loving and he is an overall people pleaser.
Mr.Weston is a excellent husband to his wife. He always tired to avoid conflict with his wife as much as possible, so that he would not have conflict. He was forever trying to please people and ensure that his family was happy. Mr. Weston had bought the robot “Robbie” to allow for his wife to have more have time on her hands and so that his daughter Gloria would never feel alone and would have someone to play with. His ability to please his family is one reason that Mr.Weston is a very excellent father and husband.
Gloria is lucky to have a father like Mr.Weston. He is a kind and generous person that loves her very much. When Gloria was young he bought her a nurse maid that was there for her protection and love. That proves that he was forever thinking of ways to help his family. When Mrs. Weston made Robbie go away Mr.Weston proposed a trip to New York, this trip was all a plan so that Gloria could see Robbie once again. Mr. Weston is very kind hearted for that, he also tried to see everything from both sides of the conflict and figure out a way to compromise the situation to find a feasible answer. This skill that he acquired is very handy and also is another reason why he is the great father that he is.
When Mr.Weston and his family stumbled upon conflict the first one to try and resolve it was Mr.Weston. He is a very good mediator and that is a skill that many parents need. He was the one that calmed the girl down when she was upset. Weston is a very excellent father because he acted quickly to try and save his daughter, but becuase his reflexes were not good enough that the robot "Robbie" that he got for Gloria it saved her life. Even though the main cause of the issues that were brought up were because of the robot, the robot was purchased with Mr. Weston's family in mind.
The conclusions that I have drawn from the story is that Mr. Weston is a very suitable father with many skills that have helped him achieve the ultimate fathering skills. He and his family may have had their issues, they were still able to resolve all issues and in the end were still a good family. In conclusion, Mr. Weston is possibly one of the most suitable fathers and exceedingly amazing husband as well.

funny poems

Mary had a little skirt
With slits right up the sides
And everytime she crossed her legs
The boys could see her thighs

Mary had another skirt
With a slit right up the front
She never wore that one...


The sky was dark
The moon was high
All alone just she and I
Her hair was soft
Her eyes were blue
I knew just what
She wanted to do
Her skin so soft
Her legs so fine
I ran my fingers
Down her spine
I didn't know how
But I tried my best
I started by placing
My hands on her breast
I remember my fear
My fast beating heart
But slowly she spread
Her legs apart
And when I did it
I felt no shame
All at once
The white stuff came
At last it's finished
It's all over now
My first time ever
At milking a cow.....

There once was a guy named Dave,
Who dug up a whore from a grave.
She was moldy and shitty,
And only had one titty
But look at the money he saved!

THE CREATION OF A VAGINA
Seven wise men with knowledge so fine
Created a pussy to their design.
First was a butcher, smart with wit,
Using a knife, he gave it a slit.
Second was a carpenter, strong and bold,
With a hammer and chisel, he gave it a hole.
Third was a tailor, tall and thin,
By using red velvet, he lined it within.
Fourth was a hunter, short and stout,
With a piece of fox fur, he lined it without.
Fifth was a fisherman, nasty as hell,
He threw in a fish and gave it a smell.
Sixth was a preacher whose name was McGee,
He touched it and blessed it and said it could pee.
Last came a sailor, a dirty little runt,
He sucked it and fucked it and called it a cunt
