Shakespeare Language

I was trying to learn how to play cittern, when I dropped it on my foot. I stood up and my eyes were milch because it hurt! My foot became bollen and turned purple. I learned that I should wear my brogues when I play cittern so that I do not hurt my foot again.

Insult: "Thou sham'st the music of sweet news by playing it to me with so sour a face." I believe that this means somebody was bringing good news to a guy but he didn't like the messenger so he insulted him.

Quotes to Think About

"We never know the worth of water til the well is dry." I chose this quote because I think it's very true. It is almost like "You don't know what you have until you lose it." Which is also very true. It could be meaning anything such as friends or even food.

Remembering 9/11

I was in school. I remember the teachers turning on the televisions to the news as soon as they heard about what happened. I remember seeing the smoking twin towers, but that's about it. I do believe that twenty years from now we will still remember 9/11 because it was a turning point in the history of the United States.
I think the terrorists chose to attack the United States because we are the biggest power in the World. I do not know anyone who was directly affected by the attacks.
If I were to write a story about 9/11, I would write it from the point of view of a person working in the one of the twin towers. My story would show the struggle to get out of the building, and later the effect of the life-or-death situation on the person.
The picture to the left shows how I feel about 9/11. It destroyed buildings and lives, but it unified the country showing outsiders how proud we are to be Americans.

Friendship Bellringer

Friendship is more important to me. My beliefs, morals, and values do come first, but my friends are more important to me. I try to have friends that have the same values I do so that we can both have the same viewpoint on situations. Sometimes my friends overpower my values because I will do almost anything for them. But to me, friends come first.
