Annoyance

                    Annoyance

Bang! Bang! Bang! Went the noise of me hitting the bathroom door. Do you have a sister? Well instead of me having a older sister, I have a younger sister! It is just a joyful time having a six year old sister…. NOT!

   Today, I had to go get ready for my Best Friends Birthday party which was happening in less than an hour. All I wanted to do is get ready and leave so I would be on time. Guess what?! It didn’t happen!

   

      My little sister Deanna was in the bathroom. She closed the door and locked it!! What could she possibly be doing that would take sooo long?

       “DEANNA!!!!! What are you doing? Come on’! I have to get in there!” I yelled to my sister, with three more knocks on the door.

  “Jaz, I’m just putting on make-up….” Deanna said.

         “For what?” I queried.

 “For my boyfriend duhhh.” Deanna said sarcastically.

  I couldn’t believe she even said that! What boyfriend could she possibly have at the age 6?

 “What Boyfriend?!” I said with an edge to my voice.

 “Justin Bieber. Where have you been Jaz?” Deanna responded.

   Oh no. Not Justin Bieber again! Ever since he became famous, my little sister, got a serious case of Bieber Fever, and so far, I’m regretting when I first showed her him.

 Finally! She opened the door. As she opened the door, it felt as if freedom hit me. When I looked at my sister’s face, my mouth dropped and I was in a state of shock.

 “What did you do to yourself?” I asked, looking dead at her now.

 “I told you already!! I prettied myself up for Justin Bieber.” Deanna said with a annoying ring to her voice.

 I looked at her now, with a face that was just in disgust. Out of all the little sisters in the world, how come I got this one? Especially one that’s obsessed with Justin Bieber? She wasn’t going to see him anyway! I don’t get her at all!

 So as I was looking at her, she looked a mess! (No offense to her).

  Only my sister would probably do this. She had one eye with purple eye shadow, another with blue eye shadow! She had on a bubble- gum pink lipstick on with a vanilla frosting lip smackers lip gloss on over the lipstick to add a shine.

 I couldn’t believe what was in front of my eyes! I mean she looked like she was trying to be a clown, so she could join the circus! She was OFFICIALLY crazy now.

 Instead of me waiting time, saying many weird things about her face, I kicked her out of the bathroom doorway and began laughing, I closed the door and locked it which made me laugh even more because she couldn’t get back in. “I got ready even faster that I was expecting to! I only had like 20 minutes left. Of course I was going to be late to this party all because of my sister.

        When I got out, U was done! I was ready. I walked out and passed my sister who was in front of the TV watching Justin Bieber. I giggled but managed to keep walking.

               3o minutes later………..

 10 minutes had passed in the party and considering what happened before. I thought I got there a little bit early. After I said hi to my friend I gave her, her present. I watched her open the gift. It was supposed to only be $50.00 but it had a Justin Bieber poster also!! Under my breath, I said, “Annoyance.”

Does patriotism still matter?

         Does Patriotism Still Matter? 

To some people Patriotism doesn’t matter. To MOST people it does matter. Patriotism to me is basically everything and that’s what the United States of America is all about. On every Veteran’s day, people let out tears, people let out tears, a lot of applause, and happy faces were shown to millions of Family and Friends. This one day is celebrated to honor people that were in wars, or was in the service.

One question that people ask: Does Patriotism still mater? My answer: Yes it does!!!!Patriotism reminds me of bravery, 4th of July, the American flag, freedom, sacrifice and many more, Also, many of the words that I thought of about were significant words that are representing these soldiers or celebrating them.

When I think about Patriotism, it reminds me of my family. How? I think family because many of my family members were in the service and fought. One unforgettable person that is in my family and was in World War two is my Great-Grandfather. Sadly over this summer (2010) he died of old age. He lived to be 104 years old. Many people don’t come hat fare in life and accomplish that many things.

Lastly, Patriotism does matter and there are many things that show patriotism around the world. One huge this is respect. Respect should be shown everywhere. Not just to this person and that person but to everyone and even to thoughs who put their life’s in danger, just too safe America and its people.

Marshfield Dreams

This week in English,we started reading passages of a book name Marshfield Dreams by Ralph Fletcher.While we were reading this,We picked out 3 things that stood out the most to us.These are the ones that I thought were good.......

"Bobby"(Fletcher, 2005,page 59)I picked first.In this little part of the book,He explains how his little brother Booby was important to him in many ways,what happend to him, and what Bobby would do to get his attention. In the short story about Bobby,He wrote,  "Bobby never got the chance to grow up.In his last year of high school he was killed in a car accident." Just reading that little snippet it was emotional because I know if they happend to my little sister I would be devastated.

In the next thing I picked,It was called "First Pen"(Fletcher,2005,page 43).This was about how he got is first pen (as explained in the title) and he basicly treasured it.The part that I picked out was, "Still,I loved it in school we wrote in pencil,so putting inked words into a piece of paper really made me feel grown-up" This reminds me of how in 4th grade when we finally got to use pens,I felt more mature too.

The last passage I picked was "Last Kiss" (Fletcher,2005.page 84).In this,It was telling how he felt that him and his father where growing apart but for a certain reason. this is the part that I picked... "Even though I was confused,one thing seemed clear-my father and I had drifted away from each other in a small but important way,a way that I couldn't explain,not even to myself." In this part,I fet sympathy towards the author and it actualy caught my attention when he was explainging about the jelly-fishes because at first I had no complete clue what he was talking about.

My Special Object-My Teddy Bear

The object that is very most importanly special to me is my Teddy Bear.This paticulary thing is memoriable in soo many ways and it is very special.This is memoriable because before my poppa (grandfather) passed away,the christmas before that happend,He had given me this Teddy  Bear.Yea back then I thought it was preety pointless but now as the years passed on,I realized that this has a meaning.The most memoriable memory that I have of me and my Teddy Bear is that christmas when I first got it.That moment sticks out the most because thats when the Teddy Bear was new,wasnt worn out and torn up,and when my poppa handed it to me.

     This was speacial to me because it was a present and when my poppa gave it to me i knew that my grandparents didnt have much money then and for me to just get one thing,I was very lucky.Lastly,I would never forget those things I just listed because those are things that I will cherish for a lifetime.
