My Dream Car...

Probably the most amazing car on the face of the Earth is the 2010 Infiniti G37 Convertible. This vehicle has just about everything. The brand Infiniti is one of my favorite brands. It is either between the Infiniti and Ford. To be completely honest, the reason as to why I like these cars is because of the way the cars look. I like fancy and elegant cars and specifically the colors silver, white, blue, or red. Those are my favorite colors for a car.
On Infiniti USA online I built my own car. It was Pacific Sky Blue, and labeled the 2010 Infiniti G37 Convertible Sport 6MT. I installed a navigation system and a spare tire package into the car as well. Overall, the car costs $49,815. Though it is a bit expensive, I think that this car is well worth it. It would be especially great in the summer time.
I then persisted to build another Infinite car titled the 2010 Infiniti EX35 AWD. I had this car to be the color Liquid Platinum and have all the options installed that are available. Overall, the car costs $37,380.
Both of these cars would definitely be my dream cars. The first one would mostly be for pleasure and for warm days that I would spend driving around town. The second one is a type of SUV that would be nice for the winter time when it snows and gets very cold.
The car that I currently drive is the 2000 Chevy Impala. I love driving this car. It is the color gold, which is not bad. I partly like it because it was my grandma's car. It has leather seating, heated seats, and a sun roof. I think it is a very nice car for a sixteen year old to have and I am very happy that I get to drive it. I think that if I were to currently drive a really nice car at my age, I would be scared I would hurt it somehow.

American Literature Site Overview

Emily Dickinson is a poet. No doubt about it. She is famous for her ability to convey her feelings by using pen and paper. Though they were discovered after her death, Emily Dickinson is probably very happy with how her works have been treated. Through this project, I have been able to get a glimpse of the life of a poet. Dickinson mostly wrote morbid and sad poems, they are beautifully written.
In doing this project, so far it has been a good experience. Working together with classmates to get a project done is not too bad. I enjoy working with others and the people I am with are good partners to have. When creating this project and fulfulling the requirements, we will have put together a series of information on Emily Dickinson and have done it all in our own work. It is going to be a long process, but one that will hopefully be fruitful. Learning about the past and maybe the theories behind the writings of Emily Dickinson should be fun. I hope to learn how to analyze poems better.
With this project, there are a lot of little things that need to be created and produced so that the bigger thing, being that of the website, can be created. That is going to be the hard part. How to portray our thoughts in a way that others can understand easily. Hopefully our project will go smoothly so that we do just that. So far, it has. We have gotten a pretty good start, and have some ideas that I think we can put together to make our website a good one. Communication is gonig to be key to getting this done, but I think we can do it. I think our next step is confirming how we are going to present our information, who is going to do what, and when things are going to be due. Another hard part is going to be getting pictures without copywriting.
Overall, I think that it has gone well and that it will as long as we stay on track.

Buddy the Dog:
It was a nice summer day, the sun was hot, the breeze was cool. It was a perfect day to be outside and enjoy the nature. "Boy would it be fantastic if I could go outside..." I love feeling the wind in my face, the green grass at my feet, and the fresh scents in the air. I woner where my master is. I feel like I have been inside forever. As I have been in the house I have realized just how crazy these humans can be. The kids are constantly moving, do they know how hard it is to keep track of them? I work all day and all night to keep them safe, and all I want in return is to be feed, played with, and let out. Especially on a day like today, boy wouldn't that be great. I mean how long can one be away from home? Home is where the heart is right...?? Where ever they are I wonder if they are enjoying the nice weather. I wonder if humans realize that they use the same phrases for dogs over and over and over again. Like for example, when they get home they will ask, "Buddy do you want to go out"? OF COURSE I want to go out!! I have only been inside for eternity!! I mean think about it. They arrive home late at night and the first thing they ask then is, "Buddy you want to eat"? Noooo, let me think, no I am more of a fan of skipping a meal.
A dog can only do so much in a house with out being...what term do they use...oh yeah, disobiendent, oh no or my personal favorite, a "bad dog". How about they try to be at home for long hours with nothing to do but sleep. Sleeping doesn't make you get any younger. I wonder where my frisbee is, that's it. I will chew on my frisbee while I wait. Frisbee...outside. Wow. That's just great. My frisbee gets to bask in the warmth, while I sit and watch it. How pathetic is this. Why couldn't they just let me roam outside? As I am laying here, I contemplate the hours I spend at home. They are gone for most of the day, while I, Buddy the dog, stay here all day. The least they could do is take me with them. Waiting, waiting.
Why would you look at that, the neighbors are outside...with their poodle Diasy. This is just ironic. Is that a toy in the master's hand? Yes, I do believe it is. Oh look, the master is throwing it for Diasy, how sweet. Back and forth, back and forth. What is this like...oh yea, television. That's what the humans watch.
Honk. Honk.
Is that them?!?!
"Buddy, you want to go out...?"
"Finally"

2010 Winter Olympics...Best Moments

Throughout any Olympics, there are many memorable moments for multiple different countries. It is a time in history where no matter what, each country is represented by their country's best in that specific area. That is why it is so fun to watch the Olympics. One has all the best athletes, in one spot, all going against each other. Identifying the best moment is hard just because of how many there were. I many how does one designate the "best moment".
One moment that is an emotion moment, but also one of the best in a different way. That story is the story of the Canadian skater Joannie Rochett. Rochett took the ice in the 2010 Olympics two days after a sudden passing of her mother. As one can imagine, she was under not only the pressure of her country, but also the emotional weight that comes with losing a loved one. Taking the ice in a rare motivated form, Joannie Rochett performed an almost perfect program. Unbelievable. After doing so, she turned the cheering, enthusiastic crowd with tears streaming down her cheeks. The burdens of the past seeming to go right down her cheeks with the tears. The best moment in the Olympics...maybe not, maybe so, but without a question, the most touching, emotional, and inspiring for all who witnessed it or heard about it.
Aside from the competitions, some would say that the Opening Ceremony was the best part of the Olympics. Each year the hosting country puts on a display of unique styles and attractions for all their viewers.
Another great moment during the Olympics was the success of the USA hockey team. Their triumph against Canada the first time was an awesome win as they seemingly skated the ice with barely any difficulty.
The 2010 Olympics are super fun to watch. I get excited each year when they are about to begin as I get to see the world's best athletes all compete and represent their country's.

Preparing for the ACT

Preparing for the ACT is a hard thing to do just because of how much the test can vary. There are four parts to the ACT and each one has different things that it challenges. They are (in order), English, Math, Reading, and Science. In preparing for it, it really depends on the person. Each person has a different education level or the quality of education that they have/had were different. I like to read, so the reading portion of the test is one of the easiest things for me. Math on the other hand, is not my strongest subject. It is one that usually takes the longest and is hard for me to finish on time.
That brings me to another point. Finishing on time is very key in getting a good grade on the ACT. One of my main goals on each part of the test is just to make sure that I finish, I write an answer. Not writing an answer, is just like giving up and missing out on a point that you could have guessed right. There are multiple strategies to the test and like I said before, it varies from person to person. For reading, some people read the passage first and then the questions, while others read the questions first. One thing one can do to prepare for the ACT is practice math problems or read "boring" passages as fast as you can while comprehending. Doing things like that can help train your mind for the time crunch of the ACT. I know for me that doing practice ACT problems in Pre-Calc really helped my score. The practice that we do in our classes, I appreciate.
Another thing that one can do to prepare is to make sure and eat a good meal before you take the test. A nutritional meal helps you stay focused longer and considering how long the test is, the more focused you are the better.

Analyzing Emily Dickinson's "A Narrow Fellow in the Grass"

The first thing that is tempting to do when first reading Emily Dickinson's poem is to try and figure out what creature or person she is talking about. I found that when doing that, that makes the whole poem much more complicated than it has to be. When disecting this poem, the easiest thing to do is go stanza by stanza and try to paraphrase what Dickinson is saying. One thing that I admire about what Emily Dickinson wrote is that when one reads it, it is like the reader is actually there. One gets vivid pictures as they read it, even though they might not what the the "thing" is yet. "His notice sudden is" this is meaning that you will suddenly come upon this thing or might not notice, but the thing will just come out of no where. "The Grass divides as with a Comb--" This is my favorite part of the entire passage, just because I feel like Dickinson is painting me a picture of what this is looking like. I can see the grass folding or parting in a straight line. "A spotted shaft is seen-- And then it closes at your feet and opens further on" This thing looks like a shaft and is weaving its way through the grass, opening as it goes by and closing back up when it is gone. "he likes a Boggy Acre A Floor too cool for Corn--I more than once at Noon Have passed, I thought, a Whip lash Unbraiding in the Sun" Whatever the creature is, it likes a floor that is cool in temperature.
Throughout this poem, one can begin to see a picture of a creature and that creature is a snake. One can probably guess that toward the beginning of the passage, but as they read through, it is clarified what the "thing" is. Through the power of words, Emily Dickinson takes us on a journey of a snake and that leaves the reader in awe.
