Everything Comes at a Price (veterans day poem)

Everything Comes at a Price

Everything Comes at a Price


To the ones who lost their lives
To the people who have survived
We thank you, this day
This day of remembrance
To the families who had a loss
And to the veterans, who gave their lives for us
We thank all the veterans
For serving a very righteous cause
Keeping us safe everyday
While most of us barely acknowledge them
Some scars they took for their country
Would never leave their soul
All the while protecting what they love
So we must honor their legacy
As they honored our country
And they have served us well
Protecting everyone as they go pursue less noble things
While our veterans were willing to gives theirs lives for us
And those who still live today
Will be appraised for their contributions
To serve this country for it to have freedom once again.
So today we thank you for everything you have done
No matter how big or small
We are thankful no matter what you did
For you served this country no matter what cause
As we honor you today, know this
Our gratitude towards you will never decay
We will honor you for generations to come
And we thank you for serving the United States of America
God bless you

1st Quater Reflection

This quarter has went by so fast, the first quarter is about to end and im super confortable with my class mates and teachers. Although I have been here only for a couple of months I already see a challenging start to the school year. I will not be brought down, I plan to look forward instead of backwards.

During this class I have learned so much on how to be a writer, writing however is one of my biggest weaknesses in ELA. During this year I plan to learn a lot more and hope to be a amazing writer by the end of the year. The obstacles of becoming a good writer are getting difficult but im not giving up. My goal is to be able to write withought any problems with corrections etc... Right now I am having trouble with writing, most of the time it's because the direction get pretty confusing at times. Most of the time I have to stay up all night working but I end up not finishing it because I would fall asleep. 2nd goal for writing is to consistently write more than I normally do. It doesn't even have to be about school, im just going to write what ever I want to write just to keep my writing metallity in place. 

I will constantly try to do my best in writing

My 20 book challenge isn't doing very well. I wish I had more time to read but I have so much school work. I try to read as much as I can every night before I go to bed. By the end of the year I am hoping I will be able to do the rest of the challenge withought any stress. Besides the challenge I want to be a better reader. I want to be able to interpret what im reading instead of getting lost in a colpicated book. I will keep reading everyday and maybe write a few book reports for myself. 

This year has been a tough new expierence but im all in for more improvements in my work. I am looking forward (sarcastically) for the stress, no sleep etc... but I never said that fixing all the problems I have with my work will be quick. Who knows, maybe it will take a whole mother year for me to be a good write or reader. I will improve on anything this quaters and future quarters for me to enjoy this class. 

Fortunato Letter

Dear, family

Hello I am in a weird situation right now that is almost unexplainable. People might have noticed that I have been gone for a while and the reason for that is that I am dead. I have been given the time to write what has happened to me. This is what happened

I have been celebrating carnival, I enjoyed it very much and was about to start dancing until Montresor approached me. He said he got a hold of some very rare wine that I just had to have. He came for me for my opinion of the wine but also mentions Luchesi and how he would consult him with it. Me as the amazing wine taster I am got a little jealous and decided to go with Montresor to prove him wrong.

He lead me to his suspicious empty home and lead me to his families catacombs. That place is where he said he had the wine, so I foolishly followed him. The amount of nitre and dust caused a cough so Montresor gave me wine for me to drink to help my throat but he really just got me more drunk. I he offered me to go back but I was so determined to taste that wine. I still followed him and he lead me into a small area. I was chained up and I am now stuck in here forever.

I am now still in here and I wish I could talk to you, my family. But if you find my remains in here, read this letter and know that I am hoping that Montresor is punished for this crime. All of this is because of Montresor. But ironic isn’t it, wine is the thing I love but at the end the wine made me end up in this tragic and horrible situation.

From, Fortunato

You Must Follow The River of Life

You Must Follow The River of Life


In America, you can not use violence
Some people who you hurt can become your friend
Once you realize you will feel guilty
For something so small like an egg can lead to something horrible.
Stop at the start, so you don't not have a bad ending.
If not, you will become lost

Things may go bad
Parents can die or become sick
Your children can too
It could be your fault because it wasn't a good decision
You will make mistakes and even your children
You have to move on.

Sometimes when you try to do something good
You end up being punished when you tried.
But things so beautiful can be stolen by someone's recklessness
You must move on though
Keep it out of you thoughts

You must forgive
You must treat everyone as an angle
Never treat someone like a beetle
That is how you move on in life

You must spend the time you have left
Some of your loved once will die eventually
You must remember to spend the time the most with loved ones

After all of this though
Things are so preventable
But people decide not prevent it
The world is a dark place
You just have to make it good yourself.
