Satire
I love homework so much! We have a bunch of that kind of stuff. I stay up until one o'clock finishing it. English, social studies, well you know that kind of thing. I love, I love it, I love it. We never run out, we have enough for everybody even you. Homework is the best thing ever. Don't you agree?
Halloween, the best time of the year!
Once a year, on the 31st day of October people of all ages do something called TRICK OR TREATING! Sure not a lot of good can come to our teeth but, it's just the best thing ever to parade around random streets while ringing on different doorbells just to ask for candy. Believe it or not this is my first Halloween with braces. Just because of my braces, this year I am not allowed to eat hard candy which is bad news mostly around this time of the year. This year I am going trick or treating as the queen of hearts. Don't tell my dentist but I have already started eating candy as soon as we bought it this year which was about a week ago. I hope I still remember how to trick or treat because I haven't gone trick or treating in two years now. I am also excited to go to the Halloween dance because I have never gone to a dance before. I missed out on the dances during fifth grade because I went back two the Philippines.
My queen of hearts costume includes hair extensions to bring back the look of my hair before I cut it, a stick on tattoo, and a heart skirt with cute leggings. I am looking forward to seeing the costumes of my classmates because I've been waiting and planning for this Halloween for months. From head to toe I've planned my look so that nothing can go wrong and I hope nothing will.
This Halloween will be very special to me because this year my family and I are planning on going Pumpkin picking for the right pumpkin to carve. I hope you have a great Halloween. 'Till next time, happy Halloween!

Does Patriotism Still Matter?
Patriotism does matter, it will always matter even at times when you think
patriotism doesn’t apply to you because you’re not an American. It applies to
every one of us here in America. The things and the rights that we have are all
preserved by the military. They fight for you, me, and every single one of us.
Those people helped you become what you are today. When I fight and speak with
some one it will still matter.
I am proud to be any where in America knowing that the veterans are protecting
me. They show their love and devotion to our country even if it means leaving
their loved ones. They show that patriotism and we should to.
November 4th and July 4th that’s the time to show that we care about the people
that fight, protect and dedicate their lives just to preserve ours. The veterans
work hard protect our country and that’s why we should be thankful for their
work not just on these two particular holiday but everyday. They show love and
dedication to this country so much that they would put their lives at risk just
to secure it. People celebrate these occasions by watching fireworks and
watching the ceremony of putting new names on the Vietnam Veteran Memorial Wall
located in Washington D.C.
Honor, protection, independence are a few words to describe what the veterans
brought to us, not physically but you know that the honor is there. What you
also might know is that it takes so much just for the veterans to claim this
kind of victory. They get injured and a majority of them dies. If that’s not
patriotism and dedication I don’t know what is. For all that they’ve done for
us, we as in the patriots of America should help them by sending letters or
anything to make them more special than they already are.
Patriotism still matters whatever happens. It’s the thing that make this great
country even greater, even stronger.

Reflecting on Ralph Fletchers Writing
These past few days in English class we have been reflecting on five excerpts from Ralph Fletcher's book Marshfield Dreams: When I Was a Kid. This post is supposed to help us understand different techniques of writing. My personal favorite of all the techniques he used was using comparison. He would at one point of the story compare himself and a jellyfish then in another he would compare his his love for baseball to war. As you continue reading on this post I hope you will emote and connect to Ralph Fletcher himself.
In his vignette "First Pen," he states,"What words were hidden-unborn, unwritten-in all that unused ink?" (Fletcher,2005,p.44) Here he lets his readers experience a new kind of text. He leaves his readers wondering, about the pen, about the words.
In his vignette "Last Kiss," he states, "To my great surprise , he reached out and shook my hand." (Fletcher,2005,p.82) This specific line is a line that every reader looks for in a book. The sentence used foreshadowing, he gives a hint to the readers so they can predict what might happen next, in this case he tells that Ralph's dad just stop giving him kisses and started using handshakes like real men.
As shown in these examples Ralph Fletcher uses a creatively different type of text. This type of text leaves an emotion for the readers and that's the technique that he used in his writing and that's also why I loved the excerpts that we read.
