CRR: Essay

I usually have no problem writing essays in English class.  However, writing about a complicated text like William Shakespeare is very challenging.  My essay specifically compares feminism with two of Shakespeare's books, Othello and A Midsummer Night's Dream.  Finding evidence from A Midsummer Night's Dream is that complicated but finding evidence for Othello is.  I don't remember all the names that were used in Othello so I will have to find a way how to get a hold of the book to look for evidence.  I personally don't like the language of these texts because it's not modern and no one talks like that anymore.  I find it ridiculous how William Shakespeare is always taught all over the world and in the end, it doesn't benefit us in anyway.  The stories that Shakespeare writes are cliche.  Why read books in a language no one speaks, predictable, and difficult when I can read a book that has a deeper meaning, more modern, more interesting, and still gain knowledge.  This is just my general opinion with Shakespeare's work.

Class Related: Acting

I remember when I was young, I would go on casting rolls for commercials and I took a drama class.  Acting has always been something I'm good at and the fact that I can do it again for our English class is great.  I just don't really like the whole idea of William Shakespeare; I'm not a fan.  I'm considering performing at the theater but, then again, I don't like the language of William Shakespeare's work.  I don't mind being on stage and acting silly, I don't really get stage fright.  This project for our English class has made me remember what I've always been good so I will look for casting rolls during my free time for some extra cash.  I wish luck to any students that plan on performing or that get picked to perform.

Free choice: republicans and our society

This society has definitely changed over the years.  The way people think has changed dramatically.  Everything I hear nowadays is about ridiculous TV shows, materialistic items, and about making money.  People would talk about making money or that they have money or they're on the path of "success".  Honestly in my eyes, If your not making close to a six figure salary then your not "getting paper".  People want to make money but don't think about how or what steps to take or don't really know how too.  I have my plan, I have my goals, I know what I have to do in order to make close to a six figure salary and be able to get what I want when I'm ready for retirement.  People complain about being broke and do nothing about it.  Broke people spend money on things they want instead of  things they need.  People with money spend their money wisely and are thinking 4 steps ahead then broke people would.  Republicans are going to be in control of the U.S and everyone is complaining that things will be harder.  Republicans think about business and money and want to see the economy grow.  We live in a capitalist society, someone has to be on the top and someone on the bottom.  Democratics are struggling and want things to be equal but nothing is fair in life, nothing will be equal here.  The only way to survive in this society is to do what ever it takes to move up on the ladder.  Do I wish things were equal in this society?  Yes but nobody wants to be equal really, there's always someone who wants to be better than everyone else.  The problem people have with republicans and they don't realize is that republicans want to be different and be better then everyone else and they'll go for it.  Other people want to do the same but the question is are they going to try? Are they going to take a risk?  Because a republican will.

Free Write: Rush

Did you ever feel adrenaline running through your body?  A lot of the things I do gives me a rush feeling.  Ice skating, boxing, working out, and roller-coasters.  When I get older I want a Sport Bike.  Specifically a Yamaha R6.  It's a beautiful bike with an amazing engine.  I really want that bike and experience going 147 mph.  Yea its dangerous but I love doing things that give me a rush.  When I ice skate, I skate fast and do tricks.  I always come home from ice skating with some type of bruise or pain because I'm always near having an accident.  It's not my fault I just love having fun and living on the edge.

Economics Class

Now with the new semester, the seniors have to take Economics.  This is probably by far my favorite class besides Algebra.  Economics has a lot to do with how money works and what not.  I always wanted to be a stockbroker and this class teaches you a little bit of the basics of what a stockbroker needs to know.  I love talking about the Stock Market and what makes a business successful because it's fun knowing facts about how to make a business and we live in a capitalist society so it's essential to know basic Economics.  I plan on walking out of high school with at least 80's in all my classes to show that I'm ready for whatever challenges awaits for me in college.

Warrior

The movie Warrior is by far one of my favorite movies.  I love Mixed Martial Arts and this movie does a good job at showing how real MMA is.  Both brothers in the movie are very talented fighters and towards the end they fight each other for money, and to see who is the better fighter.  The movie shows their struggle of how they trained leading to their fight.  I love Mixed Martial Arts, I know how it feels to train and to prepare for a big fight. Warrior has the suspense, drama, and action that most people love in a movie.
