Choosing to go to school

if I had a choice to go to school I would. School isn't my favorite thing in the world nor is it my least. But I would like to have an education. Sometimes I wish I didn't have to this or that or anything. I would rather stay home and sleep but I wouldn't be accomplishing anything if I did. I've had work piled up the last couple of weeks and I still didn't finish it. But I'm trying. Everything is time consuming. But I'm still getting an education. Yeah the work is hard and the school is tough. But I'm going to get an F on my report card. And if I do they can't say I didn't try.




P.S. I FINISHED LORD OF THE FLIES. Took about a day. And 10 weeks but I finished it!

Writing Center post

I learned   many new things at the writing center. Like how to do a literary analysis and a thesis statement. many people helped me. Like Mr.Ricks, John Hardy, and Ms. Spate. They all helped me make my paper better and helped me take out corrections to make my paper better. This semester the writing center helped out a lot.

This post is about life. Life I weird. Sometimes it has meaning. Other times it doesn't. But that all deals with opinion. Opinion isn't really important because people don't usually care. But I care. Opinions do matter. The question is do we know if facts are opinions?

Blog Prompt

My prompt is on how ralph neglects piggy. Every time piggy wants to be apart of the group ralph is always there to kick him to the curb. Its not fair for piggy and possibly every one else. I feel sorry for piggy. There is no love in this story. NO LOVE!!

We have a scrimmage tomorrow and a jamboree on Thursday. I can't wait. Come out and support us.  Be there. Watch us kick some butt or something. I don't know who we play. Sooooo yep. Can't wait to play that mystery team. (sarcasm) So stoked. I'm so pumped up. O yeah. JV gone  kick some butt. Maybe. (Non sarcasm). I think I made this post awkward. O well.

Fail of the 9th Graders

I think that if we really crashed in to an island we probably wouldn't survive. If we did survive, things wouldn't go as planned. There would be deception, theft, chaos, and who else knows what. But over time I think our class would have managed well. For the first 2 minutes we had peace. And a leader, lets not forget our great leader. We had some people get food, others make shelters, some one got water, and some one made the shelter. Buuuuut that all went down hill after Parker became the all mighty psycho god. Then chaos reigned and we all got confused.

FREE POST!!!!!!!!!!

WOOOOO HOOOO FREE POST!!!!!
But that's not about my free post. My post is about how good practice has been going for the last couple weeks. It feels like we as a team are getting better. Every step of the way we get better and better. It doesn't matter if your the worst or the best you can achieve anything if you work hard at it. You don't need to be strong, smart, fast, or anything. You just need the will to not ever give up. If you set your mind to it you can do it. No matter what it is. I don't believe in the impossible. My slogan is for every problem there is a solution.

Reading Response to my 3 Annotated Stories

About 85% of my short stories that I annotated are mostly relating to irony and character. I only annotated for character in one story. But if I did for all three it would have much to say. Through all the three stories I have read all could have irony. Like the "Monkey's Paw". This deals with arrogance and miscommunication. Both of these could have been avoided. The same in "The Sniper". I know its not the sniper's fault but if only there was a way to communicate to his brother during the war.

Last but not least "Sucker". It was good to me. But I see Irony when he treats his cousin bad and then gets treated by the girl he likes, like crap. In the beginning I was thinking that this is what he deserves   but later on I see that he didn't know what to do, he was confused, things didn't make sense. So to me he was like a confused bully.

My Short Story, Plots, and etc.

My story will be about two brothers surviving the land from Las Vegas, Nevada to Tokyo, Japan. They will cross the deteriorated rock they still call earth. They will be hunted down, accused of many things, framed, put through trials to test their strength, intellect, speed, and etc. Things will be tough in this multi terrain world. They will go on a mission to find out who they really are and to find answers about their past.

Many obstacles will be put in their way. Like mutant bugs, wild animals, abominations, even other people. The life of Will and Marco will be difficult. In the dark world they call home will they ever find the light to recuperate from the past and resurrect their future?

Response to " A Very Old Man With Wings"

The story itself was ok but there was some difficulties. Like how bad the people treated the old man and how much pain they put him through. He did nothing to them and they treated him like garbage. They were going to send him on a boat with food and water that would last him three days. It was a miracle they didn't do it.

Not to add insult to injury the towns people also threw garbage and other objects at the old man to get excitement from him. The people were horrible doing something so mea And yet through it all no one helped the old man.

Reading Response

The short stories I've read were weird but interesting. I learned words that I didn't know even existed. Like malevolent. Some of the stories keep me interested but sometimes get on my bad side. Some of the things most characters do make me mad. But other than the characters the setting, is interesting and so is the plot.

Marco's Thoughts

" What are we doing? Were chasing a ghost. Some one we don't know whose even still alive. I don't know. Will doesn't know. I think I might be going insane. The longer were out here, the more likely the chance we might die. We don't even know where were going. Were being hunted down, accused of murder, theft, and kidnap. There is no way this can get any worse. O wait. Yes it can. Were low on food water and ammo. We lost our map, Will is suffering from a cold, and I can't tell what's real or what's fake."


" It doesn't matter. I promised Lou we'd bring his daughter back. Not only that but I promised my self and Will we'll find our sister, and the people who killed our parents. No matter what it takes I will find them. I will kill them. Even if it means me ripping this land bit by bit. I will destroy who ever gets in my way. But I won't be careless doing so. I have to remember what I do reflects on me and my brother. If I kill someone word could get out that we can't be trusted. Then again who can be trusted?."

Ender's Game

I was reading a very great book. It was called Ender's game. Its hard to explain but if you go and read it, it will be amazing. Its starts of with this kid named ender. He's bullied in the first couple of pages but later in the story he goes out to space. He trains with other people to become the best. I would still be reading it but I misplaced the book. If any one finds it tell me. Its a very good book.

The Talk of Liars

" Hey did you see that explosion last night." says one liar. "Yeah I did." lies the other guy. " I was there. Didn't you see me fly out of the explosion." "Yeah. I was the one that saved you." "That's right you did." As the two liars began to lie to each other making up a false story that never happened one soon realizes that none of it happened.

A Helping Hand

A couple of days ago I asked for help for my classes and school work. I talked to miss Pension and she said she would get some seniors to help me. Not only am I asking my teachers for help I have some school mates helping me out to. The work load is big but a helping hand from my peers and teachers is a great thing.

I am very tired. From homework to the football game things couldn't get much worse. I was wrong. My skin breaks out and not only that I become sick. Things some how always turn for the worst. How come we can't be immune to sicknesses, injuries, or diseases. I wish I was like superman or some hero that doesn't get sick. That would be really awesome. But noooo we have to become sick and stuff. This blows. I'm going to sleep.
Today we lost to some very  horrible team of players. This makes me so mad cause we were better then them. We lost by 20. We had zero. The whole game it was like the other team had a machine that gave them plus one slight coolness and gave us negative one million super sucky skills. I think the game was setup. I forgot the names of the people we played. I think it was hairy Ville, scary Ville, loser Ville. I remember now. They were called Prairieville. Basically I think they suck

About Sports

Sports are great. They keep you in shape. They keep you occupied when bored. They a lot of great things for people. I play sports to keep my mind of annoying stuff. Like school, home work, class work, my family, and many other things. I play sports so I can relax and concentrate on the thing at hand. The game that I'm in. the sports I play is Basket ball, Foot Ball, Track, and Baseball. I do track so I can become faster in everything else.

But sometimes you don't want to play sports all the time. To much exercise can hurt the body. That's why its always good to relax and take a chill pill every little while. You don't want your body to shut down on you. That wouldn't be good. Playing sports is great but don't over due it.

All Music Is Diffrent

I think all music is different because of the genre, artists, the beat, and many other things on the inside. I like certain types of music. I like rap, jazz, and a little dub step. My favorite artist for rap are 2 Chainz, Lil Wayne, Big Sean, Nicki Minaj, Kendrick Lamar, Rick Ross, Kayne West, Jay-Z, and many others. Artists that I like for Dub step is Skrillex. Well most of his songs. For jazz Louis Armstrong, Scott Colley, and many more.

I also like a little of R&B. Music inspires me sometimes or it might give me ideas I never had before. Music is great. That's my opinion and others might think otherwise but that's them. To me music is amazing.

Egypt Termoil?! What will America do?

I was reading the news on my laptop and I read something about Egypt and how there are riots, militia, and protests raging around. It says that the militia killed 25 off duty policemen. Then 36 detainees were killed in classes with security forces. In total 1,000 were killed. If I asked around not many would know about what's happening in Egypt. The things they are doing down there. Its not right. Killing innocent people just for speaking their mind. Attacking off duty police offers. Causing destruction because of the president misusing and abusing his control and power in Egypt.

If you ask me I think its time for America to step in and stop the bloodshed. Take down Mohammed Morsi. I'm with the people of Egypt. The things this man has done are unforgivable. Not to mention what the militia did. They shot rocket like grenades at the mini busses the police were in. It is said the police offers were in civilian clothes. The way these men and women died were by execution. They were forced to get on the ground and lay down. They were then shot in the head one by one. The president does who knows what and does nothing. If that isn't a reason for America to get involved then I don't know what is.

This is not a post that is for a book I didn't read during summer. The name of that book is not Divergent.

The book that I read during the summer was very action and suspenseful like. It was a very good and interesting read. Take it from Not Ernie. If you like reading and your looking for something great, I think Divergent would be up your alley. It has action, suspense, romance, mystery, and a lot of other stuff I can't describe because I'm too lazy plus I just don't know how. But this book will probably have you up all night reading it. Its really interesting. It turns friends against friends. Family against family. Even faction against faction. Not to mention the presence of evil dwelling from inside the Erudites. It'll make you want to buy the others to finish the collection of other Divergent related books that complete the series.

What I liked about the book was how it had a twist at every turn. One moment this happens another moment this happens. Its astounding how something can change so rapidly and out of no where.


I don't know the other names of the rest of the series but if its my guess it would rhyme with Divergent. I mean who wouldn't want to have the title of a book that doesn't rhyme with Detergent. I'd love to have a book about clothes killing other clothes. That would be hilarious. Other than that the book Divergent is a very good find and I'm pretty sure the rest of the series is to. So happy doing what ever people do these days.
