English 10

There are a few things that went on in my house that was nothing to be proud of. The room I remember the most is my room it was also my grandfather room. There was that one time I went to sleep in my mother room and woke up with on one around till I walked out of her room for that one moment I felt abandon.  

            The thing I remember the most is starting school. I was six and I just started in kindergarten. There was only one person I didn’t everyone else was either my friend or cousin so I still got in trouble the first day for talking.  The next day was not better when this one girl got to fighting. I thought the first grade was going to be better but the only thing that happen was we moved up and we group one year older.   

I  remember  the  fourth  grade  I  joined  the  football  team  started  as  quarterback  the  first  game.  Next  time  he  changed  me  to  runner back  after  that  game  I  had  to  quit.  We moved to Marion but still went to Turrell.  I tried to get back on the team but like a week later we transferred to Marion so there was no point in joining again. 

The seventh grade was the year I joined the football team which help me become friends with people. That year I only had one or two games that I played thin I quit till the eight grade. There was no problem with school. I was proud to get up and go to school I loved my teachers they never had trouble with me they had to warn me maybe once a week.

There was only two years I actually hated school the fourth grade when I moved here. The other years I loved from fifth to ninth grade. I actually never hated school as much as I do this year from tenth grade English.  

How I learned how to read

I learned to read when I started kindergarten I wouldn't talk to anyone but the teacher so when the teacher was absent I read a book to keep me occupied. The second time she was absent I started talk to people cause the book was boring. I told her then she made me read every book that I could till I said I liked one so I got to one I actually liked then she said I was going to keep reading till I move to the next grade.

When I moved to first grade and I had reading as a class I was not happy when she made me read.The only thing that I didn't like at school was reading. I went home and instead of reading I did my math homework and went outside to play. There was lots of things I could read at the house just didn't like to read so I got to school she ask me what I read then I got in trouble and there on I had to read two paragraphs instead of one. There was the one time I had the book and i tore it then she said I had to pay for it but it wasn't the school's it was mines she got mad cause I told her that I wasn't paying for it.

The years after I haven't read for two years til I moved to Marion in the forth grade there was no problem til she tried to make me read then I did the same thing I was doing before I moved. The most I have read was in the seventh grade when no one made me read. I had more than just a little to read to catch up with others in my grade that's when  I had stop doing my home work because. So that lead to me and my problem with not doing my homework. when I was six that was when I started reading. I was six just a few mouth before learning  I learned how to read.

There was more of a thing that went wrong in the years before now it's just a problem with me reading I don't like to read. There was a very thing that made me mad made me stop reading now. that is how I learned to read from the age six on although I don't like it.

I Am Poem

                                     I am poem

I am one of a kind
I wonder about laces in the world and how they feel
I hear sirens from below
I see red stands for blood
I want to travel the world making life better everywhere
I am one of a kind


I pretend that the world is one big happy place
I feel the hand that touches me inside
I touch the people who need a hand
I worry about the future
I cry when sad
I am one of a kind


I anderstand that everybody die but not everybody live
I say I will be rich
I dream of my live in the future
I try to fit in
I hope to make my dream come true
I am me

Lincoln Address

                          Lincoln does give a righteous indignation. he explain his reasoning and explained his actions. Lincoln said in his speech one side would rather make war then let their country survive.  You can see this in paragraph two it says "one of them would make war rather let their country survive the other side would accept war rather let it perish". Saying that they had a war with their own country then put it aside . Lincoln involved righteousness saying how can a man ask for assistance from God but still do this to their fellow people. This gives eidence of his righteous ingnation.
