“Where Have You Gone, Charming Billy?” Breaking News

Breaking new just in, a new soldier that just entered the army has died. The young man known as Billy Boy was in his first war, and was a participant in a battle. The young soldier was shot in the foot which almost decapitated the whole thing. The fear of Billy Boy overcame him and he was frightened that he was going to die. Although it was just the soldier’s foot he was scared to death. Literally. Unfortunately the young soldier was so frightened it caused a heart attack. The heart attack was so intense the poor man past away. If you may join us to have a moment of silence to recognize this soldier and what he was about to do for our country.... Thank you.

CAHSEE Reflection

I spent all day on the CAHSEE. I actually slept for an hour in a half, but I spent most of the time on my essay. I wrote the most super essay yesterday and it took like 2 in a half hours. The rest of the project was alright, I am confident I passed, but I'm not sure if I passed with efficient though. I was really tired so that was sort of a dilemma while taking the test. I was the second to last to finish the test and only had ten minutes of school left. I hope tomorrow runs smoother.

“Where Have You Gone, Charming Billy?” Enlist Paragraph

I would NEVER join the army unless I had a life or death reason to. I think those who join are great for taking a stand for their nation, but I also believe that those people have many other great qualities. I think one of the easiest ways to die is to join the army and if someone has a special talent is almost practically being wasted by joining. For example, someone who joins the army is most likely fit, and if they are super strong and so on then they might qualify for football or another sport if they go to college. What I'm trying to say is that there are many options rather than just relying on joining the army. Unless that is just something someone really wants to do then that's on them, but I would never join.

Primary and Secondary Sources Comparison

Primary and secondary sources have a couple things in common and a couple things that differ. First, they are alike by both being reliable, and giving information. Another would be they both speak of an event. They are different from each other because obviously, they both come from different sources. Primary sources come straight from the source. For example, a diary, interviews, letters, personal essays, editorials, speeches, oral histories, eyewitness news reports, literary works, public documents and an autobiography. A secondary source is different from a primary source by being told by the secondary source, or someone who was not exactly a participant at the event. For example, a biography, history books, textbooks, encyclopedias, reference books, magazine articles, newspaper articles, and literary lyricism. These sources are both helpful by both being accounted for information and information from many perspectives.

Feelings about the CAHSEE

I don't think that the CAHSEE is going to be hard. I believe that if anything is going to be easy it would be the short essay we have to write. I am almost certain I will past the math portion of it, but it is the English that scares me. I think I will past it but I never really do well in the English portions of test like this. I will just try to work hard and be as prepared as possible because when the day comes I going to pass it with flying colors. And as I said before, I am not worried of the essay portion because I had a great teacher to help me learn how to write one and perfect it.
