Personal Metaphors

 This was a personal metaphor activity that was really difficult
I am a rock, I stay solid for anything that comes my way.

I am the weather, hard to predict.

I am a orange, I can be sweet or sour.

I am glass, seems strong but can shatter easily.

Childhood Memory

Everyone has gone to the doctor at one time or another, but probably not for the same reason I had. When I was 5 or 6 years old I would always cry about my nose hurting as bad as my sister punching me in the face. Also I would get random bloody noses and when ever I was breathing out my nose they said they'd hate sitting by me in the car. One day I was not feeling good and was barfing my mom took me in the car and took me to the Childrens hospital. Once we got in they gave me sleeping gas so I knewthis wasn't for a stomach ache. Once I woke up I'm on a gurnee and was rolling towards me mom holding a container with a rusty screw. Then she told me that was up my nose.

When I found that out I was freaking out like anyone else would. After that experience I found out some things about me and my family. First I found out I love bubble gum. Before they gave me the sleeping gas I got to choose between the flavors of green apple or bubble gum. I'd never had bubble gum before so I gave it a shot and I loved the flavor. I also found out my mom can sense if there is something wrong with me. She can tell when I'm sick or not also. Next I found out that now I have something over my sister Courtney. When she was little she was called the devil child and so everybody figured it was her who put it up there. Those are the advantages of the incident I think that was caused by Courtney.

Penguins of Madagascar

I think the Penguins of Madagascar are AWESOME! They are so different in their crazy ways. Skipper is the leader and has a lot of knowledge of the penguin force. Kowalski is the braniac of the group. Sometimes he gets a little overboard on science and turns into a mad scientist. Rico is the maniac of the force. He can barf anything you need and that includes dynamite, granades, bombs, and bubble gum. Private is my favorite with his cute accent. I don't think he is the most attractive on the team because his eyes are far apart and a chubba lub. The thing I like about this team is that they are together through thick and thin just like friends.

Shoes

Everyone has their favorite shoes, mine happens to be Nike's. Nike's shoes are my favorite because they have the highlight colored sneakers. When you are wearing those kind of shoes with a nice outfit it makes it pop. They are the only kind of shoes that has multiple colors on the shoes. Asics has a maximum of 3 colors and nike seems like it's unlimited. Also they last for a long time. One of my sisters had a pair of shoes that they had for three years and then she gave them to my sister Courtney and she still wears them. Those are only the main reasons, I also like them because their comfy and cute. They are comfyer than other shoes because they have more padding in them and they're cute because with the colors and styles they can't never be cute.

Zoo Essay

What people would go to an alien zoo? Now what aliens would go to a people zoo? Weird I know, but there seemed to be a lot of attention between the both so a man named Professor Hugo who made this Interplanetary Zoo in the book, Zoo by Edward Hoch, an optical illusion. From one race's point of view they're at some sort of an alien cruise through the universe seeing all the other creatures of space but to others they're just trapped in a cage. It seems like there is a mirror effect in the book.

The mirror effect in this case is an illusion. From inside the ship there were fleshy humans there and they were walking outside the spaceship and from the outside there was animal like aliens that were in a cage. If the people and space inhabitants have known the truth about the sneak they would feel foolish not to know this. That happens to me a lot when I didn't recognize something so obvious. I get mad at myself and feel like a idiot, like when I looking for food in the fridge and I ask my mom where the Ketchup is, but it's right in front of my face. There is a question that can't get out of my head and it's if Professor Hugo is a con?

There is a possibility that he could be a sham but there is a certain way he talks and how his personality stands out. He also has a love for what he does because he wanted to know if the extraterrestrials liked it so he went to the house of one the passengers and overheard them say how good it was and with a great price. In his perspective he thinks it's like the saying "Two birds with one stone.". Professor Hugo has a good heart in my book. Also if he was a con he would've abducted and sold the aliens and humans  on different planets he and would be rich.

The story would've been better if he was a cheat because it would be more suspenseful. Other than that last comment the story was really good. It had me think of other things like a double win situation. One is that you're going up for a layup and you make it and you got fouled. Then you go to the free-throw line and make it. Whenever I do that in a game I feel great and I bet that what Professor Hugo feels when he hears how great his Interplanetary Zoo is.

Fat Boy Saves World Essay

If you were an extremely thick boy that hasn't said anything in eight years what would you feel like? You would most likely feel like an elephant invaded with mice,  but Neat Bennett has a sense of pride in every step he takes with his sister Susan. Susan also has issues like how she shaved  her head for a statement for getting kicked out of boarding school. She would also do anything for her teddy bear that is also known as her brother. Neat and Susan are found in the book Fat Boy Saves World by Ian Bone.  Reading the bond between Neat and his sister reminds me of my relationship between me and two my older sisters.

My two oldest sisters are in there second and third year of college so they come back only on the weekends which is nice. Amanda (,or Mandy,) is my oldest sister. She is the first person I ask what we should do today, because she the one that pitches fun ideas. We usually go somewhere to eat that could be fun or we play Wii. Brittney is kind of the boring one in the family. In her spare time she cleans, studies, or spends time with her boyfriend Steve. Although she spends most of her time with others, she knows when to take a break and chills out with us.

Susan would always like to relax and have fun with her brother like going to the amphitheater or getting a hotdog (, except Neat eats 6,).Neat has this connection with Susan that is not like any other friendship because they trust each other and knows the best for each other. My sisters are like that in a way because it feels like I can tell them everything. Both of my sisters have the same characteristic of Susan, they would do anything for their siblings. Mandy and Brittany would do anything for Courtney and me and Susan would stick up for her brother.

Sticking up for your sibling is kind of rare because they're the ones who pick on us. It is clear that Susan and Neat respect and love each other and would never trade each other for anything. If they didn't love each other they wouldn't hangout whenever she's home and Susan wouldn't disobey her fathers rules to take Neat out in public. Brittney and Mandy are the same way because if they didn't like me and my family they would stay up at college. I'm really happy I have the sisters I have like Neat has Susan.
