Empire

I love empire because it pushes me to be successful. On the show the main characters Lucious and his ex wife Cookie,  started making music in their garage, with the drug money they made profit from. Little did they know that they would one day be big producers. Cookie was just released from jail for a bust, she did seventeen years for. Cookie went to jail for Lucious because they figured that by the time Cookie came out they would have the company. Which they did, but Cookie did not know that when she came Lucious would have already moved on with the "love of his life" Anikia and her son Hakeem would hate her for not being there when he grew up. The show got more interesting when Lucious killed Cookies first cousin Monkey. When this went down everyone began to realize how vicious and cold hearted Lucious was. In the show Lucious  and his son Jamal don't have a good relationship because he's gay and Lucious dosent approve of that, their relationship only revolves around  music. Lucious and his other son Andre have an okay realationship the only problem is isn't musicly involved. Hakeem and Lucious seem to have the best relationship, because Lucious often says Hakeem reminds him of himself when he was younger.

why i didnt pass the first time

You don't understand how it feels as a senior taking 10th grade classes. As of now I started to re-take my global 4 over for the 3rd time. Im the only senior in that class. Not only that I have a family member thats in her right grade in the class as well. I'm ashamed that i didn't pass this global the first time nor the third. Me and global just isnt a thing, I just hate social studies/history. Why do we need to know about our pass. The pass is in the pass for a reason let it stay where it is at. The worst thing about having to take the class over is I already passed my regents in this subject so all I need really is the credit. Instead of the teacher giving one big project to do and I just show my face for attendance and leave she wants me to actually sit in the class and take notes. I really just want her to give me the damn credit but I guess it don't work that way. Plus I could care less about what she is talking about... no disrespect. The good thing is that I don't have to write the essays because its not beneficial to me nor her. The moral of the story is don't fail a class or you would end up in my position.

shakespeare a midsummer nights dream

In class we are reading Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, which is one of the worst books I was ever forced to read. The level of difficulty the vocabulary in this book is crazy. Not only I have to read a book I don't want too but now the book is to hard to understand what Shakespeare is talking about. The class have to do a cold read and then break down every line in our own words to even make sense of what Mr. Shakespeare is trying to express to the audience. The best part of the vocab. is the he can curse you out in his own kind of way. This way of writing is not very modernize. Maybe thats the reason I don't understand the words he put before me. Besides the misunderstandable words the plot isn't that bad. Because the vocab is hard it turns me all the way off of wanting to understand the actual plot of the book. There is a little love quadratic thing going on between these four people. My favorite character would be Helena. Helena, the lovesick young woman desperately in love with Demetrius, is perhaps the most fully drawn. Among the group of Athenian lovers, Helena is the one who thinks most about the nature of love which makes sense, given that at the beginning of the play she is left out of the love triangle involving Lysander, Hermia, and Demetrius.

class related

We start off a new semester at the being of the month, I wonder what Ms.Hegeman has in store for us to read now or a topic to do a million Socratic seminars on. I honestly don't know what to say about what goes on in my english class. Its the same thing everyday, its very redundant. Especially when we have a book. As a class we've been on these short stories for a WHOLE MONTH!! Like come on im tired of hearing about Everyday Use, The Lottery, The Sniper, etc. We did a presentation, vocabulary test on words, two Socratic seminars for some, and now theres an essay due. I pray we do something more exciting and interactive like go on a trip. I hope you see this blog Ms.Hegeman and really take what I have to say into consideration. See you next month !! With a fresh start.

passion for driving

My passion is driving. Being behind the wheel feels great. In the summer time i normally drive in the car with the drop top and just let the wind blow through my hair. The best part is waiting at the red light and the car next to you signals you by flashing there high beems. Thats a sign of sayin they want to race. To win the race you have to get to the next light first. You be surprise how many people play this car game. Even through its mostly men. I always win just to let you know. Besides the racing and going fast down the highway driving a car holds some major responsibilities such as, having to watch out for these crazy people dotting off in the middle of the street. I really dont understand why people do that, they're not going to be happy until I hit someone. Driving is really the best I feel independent and when i go to college my grandma already told me im getting my own car. When I get to college im not going to be the cab lady either. Thats the only con. And then I woke up !!!

Vocab

I got EMANCIPATED from the community.
Ms.Hegeman REITERATE herself to get on people nerves.
The church has a VAULTED ceiling.

My bag CHAFED my body which, became sore.
The school has PARAPETS out the window.
I am HAGGARD this morning because i didn't get no sleep.
I DIVULGED on my friend so I wouldn't get in trouble.

English Gotta Go

Sitting here talking to a teacher who failed me... well i really failed myself. But so what now I cant play basketball until next marking period. I'm trying to persuade her to give me a grade change form. I wounder if she is noticing my little hints I'm throwing in the conversation. However, knowing Ms. Hegeman she just going to reject me so I don't know why I'm wasting my time. But I guess Its worth the try. I truly hate English class, not the teacher but the subject itself. I already know the basics such as, how to read and write. SHOOT !! I'm writing this right now. All these grammar rules and blogs I don't see how this is going to help me. Ms. Hegeman is a great person and all but her class.... I HATE IT!! I tried to convince her to stop giving the class homework or better yet work in general. I feel that its easy to grade work if its nothing to really grade. Its less stress on both the teacher and the students. However, she feels when I go to college and write a poor essay the college professor is going to think she was a jerk for not teaching how to write a decent essay. " I don't want to be that jerk" she said. What would make the broad of education require us to take four long whole years of English when we only need 2 in my opinion. 1 year with a course to teach us how to write better and the other year on how to analyze a text. The bottom line is English HAVE TO GO! its like a pimple that never goes away.
