Do you like the end of the school year? I love the end of the school year because it means freedom from school, principals, and teachers.
The end of the school year really put me in a good mood, because it means that school is near the end and we get out for two months. We get to hangout with friends every day, go on vacations to the beach, or just hangout at home in the pool.
School being over gets just about every teenager excited because summer means a lot to us. Being able to wear shorts, tank tops, and flip-flops. Not having to worry about getting up to go to school at six in the morning.
For just about every teenager I know summer is when all the fun happen. So without summer half the teenage population would be mad, anger twenty four-seven for not having their own time. To do their own things with friends for how late they want.
Theres also summer vacations with your friends and family where you can just hangout on the beach, walk on the board walk, stare at hot boys. You can also find a summer romance in the time were outta school. Everyone thinks summer isnt so great well when you actually do something with your summer it can be worth wild. You have to just let lose and have fun with the time we get outta school. I enjoy my summer vacation every year because something new and interesting always happens thats worth wild.
In conclusion, that is why I love May because it’s a sign that summer is almost here and I love summer vacation along with half the teenage and young population.

Dear Freshy,
A little advice for you about your Freshman year, is not to give any of the teachers attitude. You will pay for it trust me. Make sure you do your work, don’t wait till the end of the school year to finally decide to try because it won’t work. Just do your work when your supposed to and you won’t have to stress over it at the end of the year. Another piece of advice have fun, your Freshman year is the beginning of you high school years. Don’t make it so when you’re a senior that you regret your Freshman year. Have fun in your Freshman year so when you’re a senior you can be happy about your high school years.(:
Good luck to every 8th grader coming up into your Freshman year, it’s a great experience being a Freshman instead of just a 8th grader.
Sincerely,
Mykaela.

Romeo! Romeo! Where is my beloved Romeo!? Do you like the story Romeo and Juliet? Do you know that even songs reference to the famous story Romeo and Juliet. The song I’ve noticed them reference to Romeo and Juliet is “Check Yes Juliet by We the Kings”. I’ve known this song for awhile but never recognized its reference to Romeo and Juliet until we read it as a class. In the song Check Yes Juliet by We the Kings it’s referencing to the book Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare by when they say "I’ll keep tossing rocks at your window cause there's no turning back for us tonight" and when they sing "run baby run don’t ever look back they'll tear us apart if you give them the chance". They might not be actually talking about the Romeo we’ve been talking about in class but they way they talk about him tossing rocks at her window sounds just like our Romeo because he would do anything for Juliet because she was his Juliet and he loved her, Romeo would never give up on Juliet. Now the second part sounds just like something our Juliet would say telling Romeo to run and never look back because if he came back the king would kill him. Juliet in the song is telling him to keep running never turn back because if he did they would get torn apart. Just like when Juliet wants Romeo to leave so she didn’t lose him by the king killing him because he was in Verona where he is banished.
In conclusion the song "Check Yes Juliet by We the Kings" is a really good reference to the famous story by William Shakespeare Romeo and Juliet.

March Freewrite
Music! Music! Music! I love music, all kinds of music not just one kind of music.
I use to listen to just rap and music that was loud but I spanded my varity of music.I like Country, Rap, Screamo,some Heavy Metal. I like the music I listen to have some kind of point of writing it.
Like with my favorite song "Aylssa Lies" By Jason Michael Carroll is about a little girl making a new friend at school and the friend just happened to have a secret. The friend named Aylssa was abused at home, she tried covering all the bruises everyday in school. It's about her lying to people telling them lies of what happened. The little girl goes home and tells her dad about it and the dad decides to go to school the next day and do something about it but when they arrived at school the next day they heard that Aylssa died because no one would help her or try to figure out what was wrong.("Daddy, oh daddy tell me why alyssa lies")
I don't like songs that have no meaning behind them at all, they have to have some kind of meaning behind them not just be about random stuff.
I personally think having a meaning to the song makes the song so much better and emotional to the people listening to it.
In conclusion, I love music with meanings behind them. As long as the song has a meaning to it I will like the song no matter what type of music it is.

Constructive Response. Celebrate? Criticize? What one would you pick to describe how you felt about the theory Marxism?
One reason I would celebrate if the rich people gave food and money to the homeless and poor people. A way to celebrate would be Happy Feet 2 because the penguins land gets blocked off by a glacier that fell and happy feet and his son get stuck on the other side. The penguins get their food taken from them by the glacier because they had no way of getting to the ocean. The humans helped though instead of just watching them or capturing them, they help by chiseling the ice so it'll break so the penguins can get to the ocean again.
Another way to criticize would be Happy Feet where the humans took the penguin because he could dance and they've never seen a dancing penguin. They took him to make a profit off of him, instead of leaving him in his home.
In conculsion, I would celebrate if the poor people actually got reconized not just trampled on by the rich people. I would critizize if nothing ever changed between the two classes.

February Free write.
My mom.
Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom the magnificent.
My January free write is about my mother.
On August eleventh ninteen seventy-eight my mom Robyn Lynn Bushnell was born. My mom lived in right outside of Jersey in Philly then when she was eleven she moved up here to the country side and she’s lived here every since. My mom was a straight A student, she attended school at Elk Lake. She meet my dad her sophomore year in ski club. Her junior year she got pregnant with my older sister Caleigh, didn’t have her till before her eighteenth birthday.
Then she found she was pregnant with me her senior year after her eighteenth birthday right after her nineteenth birthday. My mother finished high school with a kid and still managed to keep straight A’s all throughout her senior year. In two thousand she had my sister Tiereny at the age of twenty-one, she had already finished high school and worked at Scant Michaels. She managed to keep up with work, her home job as a mom, and still having a social life.
In two thousand and five, my mom found out she was pregnant with my twin brother. She got huge, like mega big in the belly area. One night she was lying in bed and her water broke. I thought she was going to have my brothers in the toilet but luckily she went to the hospital to have them instead.
My mom is now a MAT which is a Medical Assistant Technician, She went from graduating Hight School with just her diploma then having two kids out of high school then finally going back to school to school for her Nursing Degree. If you ask me my mother Robyn Lynn Bushnell is my hero. She managed to do a lot of things since high school and having me and my sister. She can do just about anything and I’m very proud of her. (:

November Free-Write.
Friends!Friends!Friends!Best Friends! I have this best friend, who means the world to me. I can trust her completely with anything. She even knows me better then I know myself. Her name is Julie.
Julie has always been there for me since we became friends in 7th grade. She knows all about my boy problems, fears, home problem and just anything there is to know about me. We don’t hang out like constantly which I wish we did but I’m fine with that. She knows I’ll always be there for me and I know she will always be there for me through thick and thin. I'd have to say I’m really really lucky to have a person in my life that I can tell ANYTHING to and know that it's going to stay between me and her.
Anyone who does not have a best friend might want to think about getting one because there great to have. There really something special and an enjoyment to have in life.

Third-time’s the charm.
3rd Person Omniscient
Breanna loved cake; she prefers chocolate cake though. Breanna was sitting in her room one raining day bored out of her mind. She sat there and thought to herself, "I want some cake. Cake sounds really good right now." Breanna walked down the stairs and opens the fridge.
Breanna's mom Barbra comes in the kitchen and asks, "Breanna my dear, what are you looking for?" Breanna replied with, "Mom I want cake, where did you put all the cake?" Babra stood there thinking "Doesn't she remember eating all the cake yesterday?" Breanna accidently ate all the cake yesterday so there was no cake until her mom went to the store to get more. Breanna walked back up stairs all disappointed.

October Free Write.
BOO! Rawr!I love Halloween with a passion. It's my favorite holiday in the world.
I love being able to dress up as whatever I want and get away with it. Plus to see little kids running around in cute little costumes makes my night.
Halloween is the only time of the year little kids and some adults can go out and have a good time as a princess, vampire, or a zombie and get candy from strangers. It’s a time where your imagination can go wild.
When it's not Halloween you can't go to school or out in public dressed as a zombie or princess people would look at your weird, But Halloween's is where the magic comes true. You can transform yourself into anything.
I love kids so to see them running from house to house getting candy and laughing and smiling really makes my night. I still remember when I was a little kid and I always looked forward for October so I can dress up as anything I want and get candy.

Pay attention to me.
Hero? Teacher? Or both? Can teachers be heroes? Teachers can be heroes, like my old science teacher Mr. Hoal who was like my best friend I told everything too, he knew a lot about me, he was very important to me and my education.
Meow! Meow! Ruff! Ruff! Which one is better? I think cats and dogs are both great pets so I’d like to have either one of them. Cats and Dogs both can do tricks, be fun to play with and are both very loving animals.

Theme of "The Djinn Who Lives Between Night and Day"
Theme: No matter who you think you can trust, you might not always be able to trust them.
My theme applies to this story because Tayab and Al-Faq are Djinn's. At first Tayab seems like the nice one but then he tells this poor women who lost her childern if she went out and walked west kept walking till she could walk no more that her childern would be alive again. Which Tayab lied to the poor women.She was stuck out there she was told she was never to return so she lived out there. Then Al-Faq did the same thing to her husband and of course he followed his rules just to have his family back. But Al-Faq also lied but what he did that was different from Tayab was he went and whispered into the town peoples ears that the man was stranded out there and to bring him food and shelter.
It applies to live because people are like that in real life they lie to get a rise outta people and make them go do stupid things for there loved ones. So it shows just how cruel people are just for there own entertainment.

September Freewrite: Breanna :D
Breanna loves cake doesn’t matter what kind of cake she loves it all. Well I will prove to you she is madly in love with cake. If it was possible to marry a cake she definitely would be the first human being to marry a cake.
Breanna is in love with cake she sits in English class and shoves the cake in her mouth. She makes this really weird noise which shows she’s enjoying the cake. Miss.Transue yells at her for making so much noise. Breanna says “I’m sorry Miss. Transue. I will try not to make too much noise while eating my cake." Miss. Transue goes back to teaching us our lesson on verb and adverb.
Breanna starts eating her cake again like she never got yelled at for making too much noise. Then her partner Emily looks over at Breanna which distracts her so she stops eating again. She looks over at Emily and says "What are you looking at." Emily quietly starts laughing she quietly whispers to Breanna “You have chocolate all over your face.” Breanna turns sheepishly; her cheeks start to get red. Miss. Transue stops talking again because she noticed Breanna getting really red. She tells her to go to the bathroom and wipe off her face. Breanna gets out of her seat and heads to the bathroom. When she gets back she starts heading back to her seat girls were snickering when Breanna walked past her.
Breanna noticed why they were snickering; she had water all down the front of her. She quickly sits down and try’s to hide it. That’s when Breanna noticed her cake that was sitting on her desk was gone. Breanna stands up and starts to freak out. She screams “Where is my cake!" "Who took my cake off my desk?" She was yelling really loud at this point. Miss.Transue stops talking and asks what’s going on that’s when Breanna starts explaining how her cake was on her desk when she left to go to the bathroom, now’s it’s gone. Miss. Transue was too busy focusing on what she was teaching the class that she didn't notice anyone take Breanna's cake off her desk. She starts asking all the other students if they have or had seen who took Breanna's cake. No one said anything, that’s when a shy little girl that hasn't talked much in Miss. Transue's class at all stands up and says that Robert took her cake. Robert went from laughing to a worried face. Miss. Transue slowly walked over to Robert’s desk and asked him nicely if he took Breanna's cake. He shook his head, his partner Klay raises his hand and says “Robert has Breanna's cake in his desk. Breanna walks up from her seat and looks in Robert’s desk. She found her cake and her cheeks went back to normal she reached into Roberts desk and took the cake back to her desk with a smile on her face. Breanna started to shove her cake in her mouth again enjoying every moment of it. Miss. Transue walked back up to the front of the class with a smile on her face and went back to teaching her lesson on verbs and adverbs. Breanna got her cake back and was enjoying shoving it in her mouth. By the time class was over that day Breanna had chocolate all over her face again but she didn’t care. She loves her cake very much that she loves making a mess with it.
Breanna not only made a scene in the middle of class with her cake and screaming because Robert took it, but she also got to enjoy her chocolate cake with chocolate icing that day. She most definitely loves her cake.

Visual Representation of Me.
Hello People of earth! My lovely name is Mykaela.That is how you spell it because that is how my mom spelt it so deal with it. I'm somewhat athletic, I don't play any sports for school but on my own time I play softball and kind of like to run.
My favorite bands are Slipknot and Sum41.
My love to draw and doodle, when I have nothing better to do with my free time. It's something I enjoy doing. My drawings aren't like great but I have a lot of fun drawing them on paper, notebooks, and my wall at home. Everything!
My favorite book in the whole wide world would be House of Night Series!
The hottest guys I know would most definitely have to be Eminem and Ryan Sheckler! <3
