Grammer Post: Semicolon



I don't really uses semicolons in any of my sentences. I just don't know how and where to use it. So I don't use it at all. Semi colons are used to separate items in a series when they include commas and to link two independent clauses. I just need to learn the rule of it and I'll be fine. Here's a link that will help me out. It helps a lot.

Revision Reading


-My President, by Young Jeezy
This song reminds me of when Barrack Obama won the 2008 Presidential Election. The song talks about the president being black. Since he’s the first black president, the song reminds me of him. With a new kind of president, there’s going to be big changes from now on. Yes we can!


This song brings me back to when Barrack Obama won the 2008 Presidential Election. The song talks about the president being black. Since Obama is going to be first black president in history of the United States, the song reminds me of him. With a new kind of president, there’s going to be big changes for the future.

Blog Playlist






"Get Silly" by Soulja Boy represents me because it reminds me of silly things. I can be really silly sometimes. Last summer I was camping in Cedar with my friends and family. We were there for a few days. So my friend and I were bored, so I decided to play Get Silly in the car as loud as I could. Then he and I started to get silly and started dancing like crazy monkeys. It was so fun. This monkey dance lasted for atleast 10 minutes. It was one of the best things I did during the summer.





"What I've Done" by Linkin Park is a song that I listen to when I want to remember of things and think about them. The song helps me think about things that I've done. Like the time when I lied to my 2nd grade teacher. It was in her class that I knocked something over and blamed it on the one kid that I disliked. I hated this kid because he kept calling me names. That kid got detention for a week. That's what he gets. I was happy that I didn't get in trouble. When I think about it, it's stupid that I did that. Detention wasn't a big deal. But I don't really care about that kid, because I hated him. He had it coming.

Grammer Post: Fused Sentences


I sometimes have fused or run-on sentences in my paper. I don't know when to stop a sentence, so I keep going and going until it's a fused/run-on sentence. It's tiring for other people to read my sentences when it goes on and on and on and on. I actually don't pay attention to how long my sentences are. I'm trying to improve my writing by paying more attention to how long I write my sentences. It's going good so far, so I think I'm improving.

My Life's Defining Moment


One of my life's defining moment was when I first got my drivers licence. I was the first kid in my whole family to get it. I was showing it off to everyone in the family. When I went to California, my grandparents had company over, so I showed them my licence. I felt like I could go anywhere at any time by myself. My cousins and sister couldn't do that. I felt so superior. If I think about, i was really dumb showing off my licence. I don't know what i was thinking. It's funny when I now think about it.

Responce To Reading Assignment


"Calling Home" is a little story about a 13 year old girl goes Christmas shopping with her grandmother, brother, and her sister. She shops in the General Store where they sell mostly knick-knacks and finds herself a Snoopy button. She decides to buy it. She didn't want to wait in line since the line was too long, so she decides to steal it. When she got out the store, she gets caught. Then she gets arrested. Her fear was not the thought of going to jail, but how her mother was going to react. She told her mom what happened on the phone. Then her parents took her home. Her mother told her what she did was wrong. And the police was wrong also, the fact that they arrested a 13 year old girl.


"An American Childhood" is about her football experience and how its a driving sports. The story starts out in his pass events. She and a group of friend were playing in the snow. They were tho wing snowballs at cars. So they threw a snowball at a black Buick and nails it in the driver's windshield. The driver stopped the car, got out, and chased them down. The driver didn't give up chasing them down, he had will power. This is like football. When he caught him, he said "You stupid kids."


Framing gives me a better idea of the theme and events of the story.


A well written story should have good description about things. It gives the reader a better understanding of things. Maybe a certain person or and object, or even a situation that they're in. The reader can picture it in their head and expand their imagination.

About Blogging




Keeping a blog requires you to risk yourself in language because anyone can read it. You are vulnerable to everyone on the Internet. Anyone can tell how you feel and take advantage of you.


I think blogging and other on-line forms of communication became popular is that people can put up anything they want. They also receive other people's opinions. Some opinions are helpful and some are not. So they have to deal with it.
