"You want a social life, with friends" Poem Analysis

The theme that the two stories, "Contents of a Dead Man's Pocket" and "You Want a Social Life, with Friends", is a bit cliché though it's to live life to the fullest. Another theme is not to prioritize everything in life. The novels are the same because Tom only concentrated on his work and his paper, though he should have concentrated on his wife and his social life. In the poem Michelangelo also spent his time creating the famous ceiling, while he spent no time with his social life. That is how the themes and the stories are very similar.

"Contents of the Dead Man's Pocket" Yellow Paper Paragraph

Out of all of my possessions my most valuable items are my shoes and my money. It all depends on how much money or what pair of shoes it is in order for me to make a life and death decision. Although I do treasure these items I don't believe any of them are as valuable and important as my life. It would not only affect me but the people around me and the people I associate with. No item I would risk my life for, unless I have to. The only thing I would risk my life for are my family, because they mean the most to me.

School or Friends

I'm the type of person who enjoys having a social life, but I like to be serious about school. School is my main priority even though I like to procrastinate. I am very good in time management, which is why I procrastinate a lot. I will complete my homework no matter what, but since it's so important I will save my last bit of time to do it. I will hang out with my friends, because if it's possible, I don't see why not. So, if I had to study for a science test and a friend wanted to hang out, I would hang out with them. Then I would either wake up early to do it or stay up late. No matter what the case is it will be done.

Paralyzed By Fear

Ever since I was a little kid I hated bugs, spiders the most. I used to live with my sister and my brother in law when I was about three years old. Her boyfriend would always mess with me since he knew I didn't like spiders. So, when my sister was in the shower he found a dead spider and told me he had a friend to show me. H e said he slept next to his bed every night, and I would like him. So, as the naive child I was I walked over to see his "friend" and saw the dead spider. I froze for maybe 10 seconds, then ran. He chased me for a good ten minutes until my sister finally got out the shower and told him to stop. That was my terrifying moment.

Today I missed school to go on a field trip with Ms. Priester. We went down to Linda Vista and helped at a tech. training. The other students that came were Bella, Jose, and Jessica. We walked around, helped people create different accounts, and also worked on our own blog. Even though we were there to teach I learned about new website that will be helpful in the future. Mr. Walker was at the tech. training and I thought it was funny since we switched positions. I told him to stop texting and that we were done. On the way home we got a car wash, gas, and ice cream.

My Most Memorable Birthday

My most memorable birthday was my last one when I turned 14. At this time I lived with my sister. So, I walked home one hot day, and my sister was picking up her boyfriend and I was home with my brothers. She came back and took me to a store to buy me a cake and some other sweets. She ordered me pizza and my family and I enjoyed that night. The next day my social worker picked up my brothers and I and took us all to Polinsky. It was a bit depressing, but I didn't really mind. It was one of the worst birthdays ever, but one of the most memorable.

My Wordle

Embarrasing Moment

Last basketball season we had a home game. At this home game my brother who I haven't seen in 5 months shows up, and I was very happy. Even though I was happy I was also nervous. So, in the middle of the game I was subbed in and I ran to the corner. I was passed the ball, super nervous, and I was going for the shot. So many thoughts popped in my head while I was shooting that it messed up the shot. As the shot went on I noticed it was a bit off. By a bit I mean a lot and it was an air-ball. I was so embarrassed because it was a home game and also because my brother was there. That's one of my most embarrassing moments.

My Weekend

On Saturday evening, I went to the movies. At the movies my friends and I saw the movie Step Up 3D. We all brought snacks in the movie theatre which I enjoyed. The movie was great; I even stood fifteen minutes after the movie when the credits were running because some guy was still dancing. The movie also inspired me to start dancing again because it would be really great if I learned how to dance that well. We got home a little before curfew so I was still able to hang out. That was my wonderful Saturday Evening.

First Day Of School

August 4th, 2010 the first day of school. It was a minimum day that day and I was kind of excited. I met all my teachers, but I only had two new ones. My first period I have P.E. and things are run different since it is ran by a different coach now. I’m not sure I like it yet but I guess I’ll have to deal with it. Most of the classes were just repeating directions so it was a little boring but I made it through the day. Throughout the whole day I was not nervous really, and this is so because I have been to 11 yrs. of school, and especially living with the students I’m going to school with doesn’t affect me at all. I was a bit excited but also disappointed because summer was so short. After all my classes I realized that I have no math c lass on my schedule which surprised me. Surprised and disappointed me. Hopefully I will change it though. That was my first day of school.
