Have you had to wait for your sister to have a baby boy? Have you ever had to canceled your appointed? Did your mother get to see her grandson be born? On June 20, 2011 my mom got to see her grandson was born.
My sister has a baby boy June 20, 2011. My cousin and I had an appointed on that day. When we also got to my cousin’s house my sister called my mom and told her that her water broke. I was very happy. When my mom told my cousin she said that we are going to see the baby and not go to our appointed. My sister ex boyfriend’s mom was having a fit because my sister wanted my mom in there with her.
Jamie T also passed out because he was holding my sister leg and he see the blood and water. I was so happy when he come out and told us that my sister had Dillin. He asked us were his mother was but we didn’t know where she was.
Dillin was 8 pounds 11 inches and 21 inches long and born at 8:21. When we were waiting to go in I called my dad and told my dad how big Dillin was and how long he was. My dad told his boss that he will go out when he eats dinner and sees his grandson. I was the first one to hold Dillin. Than before visiting hours were up my dad and I went back up and my dad got to see him before he had to go to VA.
That is my story about my sister having her baby boy and thanks for reading about it.

Dear New Ninth Grader,
Hey! Welcome to Ninth Grader! My name is Mari H here is some advice for you. For English, I would recommend that you do all of your work because if you don’t, you’ll fail. When you take notes take them because it will help you. When you go to the library to do your blogs you can get all of it done. You will finish if you sit there and don’t talk to anyone. Just sit there and do your work. It’s not hard to do the blogs, but one thing that you might not like is that you have to speak for one of your blogs. When you get to do the free write, write about whatever you want to. If you don’t get your blogs done in class if you have a study hall go to the library and do your blogs.
For health, I would recommend that you do your work like taking the notes and study for the test and quizzes. If you don’t you will fail all the test and quizzes. Mrs. Farr is a nice teacher until you get on her bad side. If one of your family members has been in her class she will recommend that your sister or brother help you with your homework when she gives it out.
For civics, I would recommend that you do your work like taking notes and study for his test because they are very hard. When he gives out homework do it because it’s not hard. He doesn’t give it out every night.
For science, I would recommend that you do your work in class like taking notes. You can use your notes on the test, but I would still study for the test. When he gives you a worksheet do it because it will help you a lot.
For math, it’s hard for me to recommend things for this class because kids have different teachers. If you are in learning support the math is not hard. I would still recommend that you do your work no matter what teacher you have.
This is what I would recommend the classes are not hard but do your work in all your classes.
Love
Mari H

Mari H Sing out- Allusions to Romeo and Juliet Did you know that the song “Love Story” is likes Romeo and Juliet because it’s like the real story but has a different ended? Did you know that the song Love Story is like real life? Did you know that Romeo and Juliet are like real life? Did you know that is has some things the same?
Some of the things that were different are that she didn’t sit on the staircase and she was not crying. Romeo was not throwing pebbles. Things that are like the real life is that some of the things can happen in life because some parents don’t like their son’s girlfriends or their daughter’s boyfriends. They try to tell their children who to date but their child doesn’t listen to them because she or he is in love with the girl or guy that they are with.
There are same things about the song and the book. Romeo did make his was through the party to say hello. They are both young in the song and in the book. The book is somewhat like real life because guys can be sweet and other guys can be mean. Sometime the father can say to the guy stay away for his baby girl if the parent does not like each other. Sometimes the daughter will not listen to her parent and go out with the guy that she is in love with. In the book Juliet doesn’t listen to her parent and goes out with Romeo and gets married to him.
In conclusion that is why the song “Love Story” is like Romeo and Juliet is because it’s like the real life thing.

When My Baby Brother die
Did you ever have a little brother pass away on his birthday? Did your mom ever tell you about your baby brother passing away on his birthday? My mom knew that she lost him. She was the one to tell the doctor that she lost him.
I was not born yet but my sister was four years old when she found out that her little brother die on April 30, 1994. It’s so hard when that time of the year comes around. I miss him so much and I wish he could be here with me. I know that he is in my heart and he is looking down on me right now. Some time I wish he was here.
The some days that I wish that he was here is on his birthday but I know that I can’t get what I want. On his birthday I just feel like crying because it hurts so much and I love him. It’s so sad when my mom tells me all about because it hurts my mom because she wanted to have Galen H. I love him and I feel bad for my mom because she has to be in this pain for her whole life. I wish that I could be there for her today but I can’t because I have to be in school. You don’t know how hard it is to think about him and not cry.

CONSTRUCTION THERAPY- Feminism
Yeah and it go a little something' like this
Yeah and it go a little something' like this
Runaway love, runaway love
Runaway love, runaway love
Runaway love, runaway love
Runaway love, runaway love
Now little Lisa's only nine years old
She's trying' to figure out why the world is so cold
Why she's all alone and they never met her family
Momma's always gone and she never met her daddy
Feminism would criticize the song “Runny Away Love” by Ludacris. They would criticize Runny away love because the men beat the women.
Feminism don’t like when someone is being mean to a woman. One reason why they would criticize it is because the men thinks it right to hit a little girl because she won’t gave him what he wants. I think that if a guy hits a girl should go to jail because I feel that it is not right for someone to hit a little girl.
Another reason why they would criticize it is because what woman or little girl need to be hit by a guy. Guys should not hit a girl or a woman and I feel that it is right for a guys go to jail for hitting a child or a woman.
In conclusion, feminism would criticize “Runny Away Love” by Ludacris.

"Ours"
Elevator buttons and morning air
Strangers' silence makes me want to take the stairs
If you were here we'd laugh about their vacant stares
But right now my time is theirs
Seems like there's always someone who disapproves
They'll judge it like they know about me and you
And the verdict comes from those with nothing else to do
The jury's out, my choice is you
So don't you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard
The stakes are high, the water's rough
But this love is ours
You never know what people have up their sleeves
Ghosts from your past gonna jump out at me
Lurking in the shadows with their lip gloss smiles
But I don't care 'cause right now you're mine
And you'll say
Don't you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard
The stakes are high, the water's rough
But this love is ours
And it's not theirs to speculate
If it's wrong and
Your hands are tough
But they are where mine belong and
I'll fight their doubt and give you faith
With this song for you
'Cause I love the gap between your teeth
And I love the riddles that you speak
And any snide remarks from my father about your tattoos will be ignored
'Cause my heart is yours
So don't you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard
Don't you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
But they can't take what's ours
They can't take what's ours
The stakes are high, the water's rough
But this love is ours

Dillin Has No Father
Have you ever have to go to court because your mom and dad are having some problems? They are going to split up. It is not good for anyone, and especially not good for the most innocent ones…babies and children. My sister and her ex-boyfriend went to court.
My sister had a little boy and now he is seven months old. He is trying to say, “Mommy,” and it’s so cute. He got his first three teeth. He doesn’t have a Daddy because his father hit my sister and she left him. They are going to court for it, and his dad wants a DNA a test done because someone called him and said Dillin was not his child and he believed them.
I feel really bad for Dillin because he doesn’t have a dad… and my sister wanted Dillin to have his mommy and daddy together so he wouldn’t have to have a life like me and my sister. I can’t believe that he wanted the test done. We all know that Jamie T. is Dillin’s father because Dillin looks like him. My sister feels really bad that Dillin doesn’t have a daddy. I love Dillin so much and I feel bad for the little guy. I hope that he will grow up and see who loves him so much.
The reasons why I feel bad for him is because I know how he will feel someday because my mom and dad are not together. I hope his mommy will find someone that loves him and her. I hope that my sister gets to keep Dillin, but his dad gets to see him on the weekends and that is it. I hate that he doesn’t have a father.
The reason why his dad and my sister are not together is because his dad cheated on my sister with a fifteen year old. I don’t know why he wanted to cheat on my sister because my sister gives him everything she didn’t have time to cheat on him. She loved him so much and now she doesn’t because of everything that happened. Dillin has not seen his dad in three months.
I hope that Dillin knows who loves him and who does not. Someday he will realize that his father doesn’t love him. If he did love him he would not cheat on my sister and would not have lost his son. I am happy that my sister is not with his father. I love Dillin so much and I am never leaving him. His father is not my favorite person in my life. I really don’t say that about many people. They go to court the January 31, 2012.
In the meantime, Dillin is learning to crawl and he is pulling himself up on furniture. It’s so cute and I am happy that he is and I love him so much and I can’t for him to walk and talk.

Forgiveness
Did you know that Christmas is a good time to forgive people? Did you know that some people don’t forgive? Did you know that Christmas time is forgiving people for some things like not coming home for Thanksgiving? Sometimes it’s hard to forgive someone, but you can always forgive someone…and in the end it is better to forgive someone.
A while ago my mom, dad, and sister and I got in a fight. My mom and my sister when over to my dads house. They took three movies and they didn’t ask my dad if they could. Then my mom got mad at me because I didn’t go home for Thanksgiving. She said that I didn’t ask my dad but I did and she got mad. I told her that I might not be home because we went to a friend’s house to have Thanksgiving dinner and she said it was ok. I told her sorry and that I want to make it up to her but she was not listening to me. I don’t like when my mom and I fight. Sometime my mom doesn’t forgive me for a long while and it hurts so much.

Did you know that you can't get a disease by hugging a kid that has the disease? Did you know that you can get it by kissing them? Did you know another way that you can get it is by an open cut?
According to Extreme Make Home Edition there was an episode that went and shows how you can catch a disease. The only way that you can get it by kissing but you can get it by hugging. Some people think that you can get it by hugging but you can’t. The people that think that you can get a disease by hugging you are wrong.
Would you like to be picking on if you had a disease? It’s not right they are kids just like you. They have something that they got from their mom or dad or they were born with it. You can hug then all you want because you will not get by hugging. If you know someone that has a disease doesn’t be scared to hugging them.
Another way that you can get it is by an open cut. If you don’t have an open cut or you don’t kiss them you will be fine and you won’t get it. Some people say mean things to the kids. If you know kids that are picking on the kids that have a disease. You see that they are picking on them ask then nicely to stop.

Sheila Mant is mean
Do u want to hear a story about a 12 year old liking a 17 year old girl? Sheila Mant and the narrator are both stereo types because she is always talking about herself, friends, and not looking at the narrator.
Sheila Mant acts like a typical blonde. She always is talking about her, and her friends, and she doesn’t even looking at the narrator. The way she always is talking about herself is because on page 8 she is talking about Eric and how he said that “I have the figure to be a model”.She is always talking about her friends and not asking the narrator things about him. On page 4 she was looking at Eric when he went by. She didn’t even look at the narrator when they were in the boat. She always had her feet in the water and had her back toward the narrator.
You may say Sheila Mant is not a typical blonde because she took the ride with him in the boat when she didn’t like boats or fishing. She is a stereotypical blonde because she didn’t talk to the narrator. When they were in the boat she didn’t look at him and didn’t talk to him. On page 10 is when she finally talked to him but all she said is that she was going home with Eric and that he was a funny kid, and different, and odd.
The narrator is a stereotype because he is fishing and not talking to Sheila Mant and not looking at her and he has a crush on an older woman. The narrator is fishing when they are in the boat and he is more worried about not getting the fish then talking to Sheila Mant. He is not trying to get her to like him and he is fishing even though she doesn’t like fishing. He asked her if she would like to go to the fair with him but she asked him what the noise was from the line was, he said it was a bat.. They were half way there and they weren’t talking. She was just talking about herself. When they got there she danced with him and later said that he was funny diffent, odd. She was really mean to him because she went home with another guy and didn’t go home with him. He let the fish go and it haunted him for a long time. The whole summer it haunted him because he let the fish go. [The reason why she went home with Eric is because he had a car and the narrator didn’t have a car because he was only 12 and she was 17.]
That is my story about a 13 year old liking a 17 year old girl. There are some reasons why they are both stereo types because she is always talking about herself, friends, and not looking at the narrator and the narrator is not talking to her and fishing.

Mousetrap Racer Design Paper
For our mouse trap we will be using a victor mouse trap with spraining laude. The mouse trap’s measures base is 10cm by 4.77cm. The body of the mouse base measures 30co by 6cm. We will be using cd from home.A wooden dowel for an axle. The wooden dowel will be hook by eye screws. The screws will be in the base. We will be using on old intent for the level arm. We will use fishing line to rap around the axle to pull the level; arm back. When you wind the fishing line around the axle will put the level arm back and will be potential energy when the level is releases kinetic energy will make the mousetrap move down the track.
My mousetrap racer has a lot in science it for an example friction, mass and acceleration. The friction 2 or more things object more past though each other. For the mouse trap racer we will friction because we need the mouse trap to go down the track. The texture of the surface will affect the friction and composition of the surfaces will affect. We are using four wheels to make it move. The mouse trap racer will allow my design because we are going to look at our design and make it move.My care will be able to stop in the designated area because the level arm will hit the wall and go next to the wall.

October Free Write My Doll Elizabeth:October Freewrite
Has anything ever meant more to you in one moment then meaning even more the next? My grandmother, who I am named after, gave her doll to me for Christmas. The doll’s name is Elizabeth. That doll means a lot to me because my middle name is Elizabeth. My grandmother asked my dad if she could give it to me because my dad gave it to her as a gift.When she gave it to me, I cried because I was so happy.
The following summer in July, on the night between July 24 and July 25, my grandmother passed away.Now the doll meant more to me than before. The reason why the doll means a lot more is because she passed away. I don’t get to see that doll now because my mom left my dad and my mom thinks that we forgot it. I think about my grandmother all the time and sometimes I think to myself I can’t wait to die because I get to see my grandmother and all of my other family members that I am named after. When July 24 and July 25 comes around I think of her more because that is when she passed away and I miss her a lot. Thank you for reading my story about the time I got my doll from my grandmother!

Summer Road Trip:Septmber Free write
My summer was awesome because I went two different states. One of the states that I went to is Massachusetts and the other is Virginia.
I went with my dad and my friend. My dad bought us a lot of candy and soda. Then we went to Virginia. Jesse B. and I went to the fair and had a great time.I met a lot of his friends. A girl that I met gave me free cake and ice cream for my birthday. Also, my dad took me out for my birthday.
When I went to Massachusetts my dad spent $300 on me and my best friend. I could have gone to Louisiana with my dad, but I didn’t because I went to my mom’s for the weekend. While I was at my mom’s there was a fire next to my dad’s house and my best friend’s brother was in it.
If my dad was going to Alabama I could of have met my family that lives down there. I enjoyed the summer road trip with my dad. I hope I can go next year!

Hi my name is Mari. My quotation I chosen was “cheer was an extremely positive thing in my life. I was never board, I was really neatly and it kept me out of trouble. It was written by Alice and I found it in a magazine. I chosen it because I love Twilight and I read all of them. My first picture is something I like and it is Dillin. My second picture is love and it shows my personality because I love my nephew. My favorite reading memory is Twilight because I love reading them. The last picture I chosen is a smile face and I chosen it because I always smile. Thank-You for listening to my speech.
