One of the qualities, i possess is the ability to work well in teams- especially, with people different from myself. An example, of when i demonstrated, this quality, was when we had to work with different characters from one play in drama class. Other than the ones we already know and work in a play. Just to kinda get a sense of how my character acts with different people.

Another, quality i possess is the ability to write and speak. Now i demonstrate this almost all the time especially, on a weekday which is most likely a school day. Im demonstrate the ability, to write right now because i wrote this that your reading now. And i demonstrate, the abilty to speak for example when my english teacher ms. Rami calls on me to read out my preclass that i have written for the day. And of cousrse again in drama because when we act of course you must have a voice to speak.

The last, ability i have is the ability to have a strong sense of ethic and integrity. A big example, was when i was walking my friend home coming back from downtown and i had weapons in my back pockets because it was night time and where im from you never know whats gonna go down at almost anytime. So basically. It was for protection. So a cop pulls me over because a little earlier there was a suspectt who robbed a women and ran away. The thing is he was wearing the same colors i was wearing… Which was a black and white top and blue jeans. So the cop later finds the weapons while searching me and says ” do you understand how much trouble you can get into with this?” of course i say yes becuase i know my rights from wrongs. So he lets me off with a warning because i wasnt the suspect he was looking for i guess. And i show integrity when i be myself in a respectful, and mature mannerrism. An example, is when i go out somewhere in public with my friends and family.

One ability, i would like to gain would be the ability to think clearly about complex problems. The reason for this being is because when i have a problem i dont take my time to think clearly about how to solve it. I just automatically, assume a solution for it. Which is not a bad thing but its also not a good things as well and i would love to gain this one ability maybe in the future.

Teen Suicide Choice #7
When you think of teen suicide’s what automatically,
Comes to your mind? Maybe, you think of someone jumping
Off of a bridge into the river . . . maybe, you think of a teen
Strangling him/herself with a jump rope . . .
Or maybe, just maybe you might think of a teen putting a
Gun to his/herself head.
Another, reason why people might commit suicide or
Even attempt to complete it could be because of there
Sexuality, and or love life. This somehow can definitely,
Relate to Romeo, and Juliet. And now the question, that
Many of you are waiting anxiously, to know is . . . why?
When a teen commits suicide, everyone is affected.
Family members, friends, teammates, neighbors, and
Sometimes even those who didn’t know that aside from
Being and acting like the average, teen that they are your
Really feeling stressed out of your mind. The reason for this
Kind of actions might be from low self-esteem or peer
Pressure. All the school work that you have to do and the
Confusing choices you’re thinking about making in life.
It really is hard trust me I know. The reason why I say that
Is because I’m going through these things for myself.
But I’m way too smart to just give up in defeat.
Now as you all know in the story of Romeo, and Juliet,
They both commit suicide but I actually do believe it was for
A very good reason. I mean think about it, if you’re truly, in
Love with a person and they love you with the same amount
Of love that you love them then pretty much you’d do
Anything for one another.
This is a picture of Juliet, committing suicide because of
Romeo’s death. That right there just goes to show how much
They truly loved one another. Therefore, you can most
Definitely, understand how Romeo and Juliet, relate to teen
Suicide’s across our nation for the one part. But let’s get to
The main reason why these two teens decided to take it
Upon their self and commit suicide. We all know for a fact
that it wasn’t because they hated their life so then why?
Now in the story of Romeo and Juliet, because of the fact
That Romeo, a Montague and Juliet, a Capulet meant that
the two could not be with one another, or be close to one
another. But they were deeply in love with each other. So
after they fall in love and what not Romeo, gets in a fight
with Tybalt, a psychopathic Capulet cousin who is gunning
for Romeo because he senses that Romeo is a Montague
hiding his identity. Which is very true for the most part. And
Romeo, mistakenly, murders him.
The prince, of Verona then banishes Romeo, before they
even get married. But then a little later the good father
gives Juliet, a potion to make it seem like she’s dead. Then
when Romeo, gets their he finds Juliet, and basically, sees
her comatose, and lies beside her and poison himself. After
this Juliet, then awakes and find Romeo, dead. When she
then realized, that Romeo, was dead she stabs her self
repeatedly.
Teen suicide is really not something that you would want
To do to yourself. Many, people who even attempt to
accomplish, this usually, end up regretting even thinking
about doing this to their selves. This is not a joke! Take a
stand for yourself or for your loved ones who are even
thinking the slightest, about doing this to their self. You, yes
you can be the one who saves a life in the future. Talk
friends out of this and remember saving one life is like
saving a million. Thank you for taking your time to read this
and please, stay positive in life.

Hades, also known as the brother of zeus, and poseidon, was swallowed by his very own father kronos. And although, he was ruler of the underworld he still had a big part of his life to overcome, and or achieve and to conquer. There were 3 region’s which the brithers chose to split among their selfs equally.

Zeus, who had chosen the sky which also, made him the supreme ruler of all gods and goddesses. Poseidon, who had chosen the great ocean. And finally, the one and only hades, who drew the underworld. What i think makes this greek, god compelling to me is mainly, all of the ups and downs he’s been through and all of his rival’s and enemy’s he has to deal with in life. Also, the troubles he’s overcome to succeed in life.

Also, how he became ruler of the underworld. I don’t necessarily, think there is a message, but i do believe that the myth is trying to pass on to the reader. . . because when you really take the time and think about it everything that hades, went through could most likely, relate to many people today. for example, during hades, life you can see that him and the two of his brothers all have the equal amount of enemy’s. . . well, I’m sorry to say but Im afraid that me and my brother’s all had the same experience. Hades, also had a very rough childhood, and he went through so much to overcome it. Now although, through all of this he still succeeded, and became ruler of the underworld, he still wasn’t satisfied.

Hades, actually didn’t want to take the job of being ruler of the underworld but unfortunately, he had no other choice. if you ever seen the movie ”clash of the titans” you will understand much of what Im discussing. That movie explains a lot and it helps you understand everything much more easier.

One, of the major action’s that take place, in this greek god myth, is that he along with his brothers… Zeus, and poseidon, all go through much trouble to defeat the titans, and what not. And i can definately, understand why it was this way for hades. . . Because he was actually, the one god out of many gods whos’s character was described as not only fierce, but also as inexorable, whence of all gods he was also, known as the most hated by all mortals.

William shakespeare, was one of the very few out of all poets who’s life was actually really interesting. the reason for this is because there are some unknown and unanswered parts of his life unexplained that many people would like to understand. for example… the years of (1585-1592) no one rally knows what and how he’s been doing. including his very own wife Anne hathaway. I guess thats why they considered these years to be known as ”The lost years”. Shakespeare’s, life lasted for fifty-two years. People believe that he was born in april, 1564. but for some reason i think different. to this day there are no specific records relating shakespeares attendance at school but a few of these details can be assumed a reasonable and most accurate reflection of his childhood, school days and education. Shakespeare’s, parents were both illeterate but just for the fact that John shakespeare, williams, father standing in the community, and that he was elected, to the position of alderman, brought free education of all his children. But how long could shakspeare, have attended the education? Nobody really knows. He recieved an education in stratford from the age of seven in 1571,and school and all his educationwhen he was fourteen in 1571. Shakespeare’s, career for me was kind of a big shocker! He didn’t really have an education in the first, place so to be one of the best author, who ever lived was shcking for me. During shakespear’s, entire career he has written 37 plays and 154 sonnets. Which from my opinion is quite impressive considering the fact that he has no kind of education in college. His last play ever ”The two noble kinsmen” was written in 1613 when he was 49 years old. When you think about it, it was pretty amazing. During, the time while he was writing all these he was also, conducting a family life, a social life and a theatre. But while he was practicing his proffession, as an actor. At the time he was also, creating, and writing his own poems. If he wrote these poems at night he was writing it in poor lighting and was using a quill and ink. Back then they didn’t really have all the writing utencil, and materials that we use todaysuch as the ink pen that i wrote this biography with. Unfortunately, they didn’t have any awards it did not exsist, during shakespeare’s time. William shakespeare, founded one of the most popular theatres, which is best known as the global theatre. The global theatre, was one ofthe biggest theatres ever made during shakespeares time period. Everyone would always pay to watch one of shakespears, plays because back then they didn’t have technology and what not to keep them busy like we have today. So they rather paid to watch a performance, even the poor. Shakespeare, died in 1616 at the age of 52. On an average all together he wrote 1.5 plays a year sice he first, started in 1589. about four hundred years after shakespeare’s deaththere are 15 million pages that refer to him on google. The death of shakespeare, was another unknown part of his life. He died april, 23rd which supposely was the same day he was born at the age of 52. Shakespeare’s records show that he was buried in the holy trinity church. His tomb is well below in the floor of the church in the channel. They the tomb has written words written by shakespeare, himself… It says ”Good friends for jesus, sake for bear to dig the dust enclosed her! Bless be the man that spares these stones, and curse be he that moves my bones”. Which to me pretty much sounds like he knew what he was in forand he was preparing for the worst. Anne Hathaway, shakespeares, wife of the great bard, died in 1625 at the age of 67. The funeral was on august 6, 1623. And surprisingly, she was buried rigth beside of shakespeare. One of the memorial, to william shakespeare, at holy trinity church in ”stratford-upon-avon.

The that my house will look is sort of like the white house. No im lieing it will be an exact, replica of the white house but only on the outside. And everything surrounding it would be just like it. A big gate that covers the whole house. But inside the gate it will be a real big pool with a outside basketball arena too.i will have a helicopter on the side of the house. And in the inside… Well, lets just say we’re getting to the good part. My inside will be like a palace-castle. Very big as if you were in what used to stand the twin towers. And in one of my rooms i will have a theater. But not just any theater it would be the i-max theater. I like to feel as if i were in the movie myself. My living room would look very spacious and comfortable, with the best couch in the world because i know by then they’ll invent one of the best couches thathas ever been hand crafted. I dont wanna get into details with the other rooms ill make that a surprise when this does happend. And one more thing… Just like in the white house what they dont tell you i want a basement that goes very very far down.. That goes down more than 4 football fields. Your probably wondering why? Well i want to have thousands and thousands of guns down there but not just gunsbombs tanks and all of that kinda like the army stuff. But alot of things its so many that i cant explain it all. Well, any way you’ll see when i make it happen i promise.im anthony melendez and this is my dream home( :

To me i really think this book is amazing i really do. I mean who would of thought that hitler did all these things to the germans and jews. I did for one part feel very sad because after i read anne franks the diary of a young girl i understood all of the trouble she went through. I mean think about it what if you had to be in an attic 24/7 everyday for years without having to make a single peep. That means no walkkking around all day because you got workers working below you and during the night you have spys. Its not like the spy is the person who is gonna help you. It tells a lot about the hollacaust and even things that i didnt know about. But when it comes down to it i guess some things are better left unsolved. Check out this book it is incredible and it unlocks some secrets about back in the day.

To begin, with i would like to start by saying jamie Nabozny, wasn’t just bullied in the middle school 7-8th grade because of his sexuality! but in Highschool as well. Things seemed to worsen the moment he entered high. Here he is thinking he can start fresh, and forget a the past without anyone knowing the situation. Indeed, i did feel really upset and bad for jamie. And it wasn’t like he did anything to deserve this. One thing about this film that i found extremely, disturbing was how through everything jamie, had been through his father wasn’t there to support him and help resolve the situation.

1) My reaction was extremely, disturbed because of the fact that i didn’t ever expect bullying to go this far. And for the principle, and the staff to be aware of what was going on and try to play innocent during court was really wrong.

2) No Jamie Nabozny, experiences do not remind me of moments in my life. For one i wouldn’t tolerate it. And even if i make a bad decision to use violence and get myself in trouble i still wanna make sure that person, knows i’m not the one to bully because ill stand up for myself no matter how big the situation and or person is.

3) What i see as potential solutions to bullying in our school would most likely, be to expel them from school property. But if it were up to i’d give the students who are bullied self defense classes. Just so they can at least stand up and defend there selves. Especially, if the district isn’t playing their role and resolving the situation as they should be.
