What is more important to you, appearance or personality?

I think personality is the key to make a relationship work. If you go for the looks, your always or at least most of the time, are going to have unsuccessful relationship. I think you have to be in balance in your relationship, not everyone is perfect and of course there's going to be fights but you have to know when enough is enough. Looks is a good thing, so if they have both, then that's even better for you. It all depends on your personality too. If your the type that your goofy and your girlfriend or boyfriend is too, then it works out. Maybe your the complete opposites but still work perfectly fine, then that is good too. But it is not always about looks. If that was the case, people all around would be unhappy.

What is your favourite song and why?

I don't really have a fovrite song but there is one that I really like. Its by Bruno Mars and its called "Count on Me". Its like the type of song that you dedicate to a friend or just someone. Its cute and it really works when someone needs a shoulder. I mean, I would like to have that support. Its just one of those emotional, cute songs. He makes music that kinda makes sense sometimes. I think he's a good artist because he doesn't really say bad words or stuff like that. Its not my favorite song though.

What is your favourite time of day?

My favorite time of day is any day that I can take a nap without anyone bothering me. I love to sleep because I can beraly sleep with out waking up or have someone bother my sleep. I love to be with my boyfriend to because we like to play around alot, or like goof around. And because he feeds me when were outside of campus, at least most of the time he does. I like to be lazy too, I love movie nights. Any nights that all this happens, or one of this things happens.... then that is my favorite day.

What do we mean when we say, "You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar"?

I think this means that you can impress, have more "friends', or opportunities if you are nice to people or treat them how you would like to be treated. For example, lets say you get a job interview and the person interviewing you is the kind of person that jokes around. It would be good to joke around with him too. But basically what this quote means is that people will be nice to you or have more things to your favor if you show the brighter side of you. Like you can try being nicer, it'll get you friends or give you a chance. You might not like the person but it'll be for your benefit afterwards. Some people go throughout the world thinking that they can do whatever they want and they'll get whatever they want by yelling at people. Not everything works like that or so easily.

"Lamb to the Slaughter" Irony Paragraph.

In "Lamb to the Slaughter," Roald Dahl uses irony to make the story memorable. For example, the narraot explains "No, I've got meat thanks. I got a nice peice of lamb, from the freezer", when she allready took the peice of lamb out the freezer and murdered her husband with it. This shows that the story is ironic because the lamb isn't actually in the freezer like she says. In fact she allready used it as a murder weapon instead of food. This also shows that this surprises the reader because Mary is able to think of an alibi immediately after she murders her husband. In addition, the narrator also says, "Probably right under our very nose. What you think Jack? And in the other room, Mary Moslonry began to giggle." This shows that the readers knows that the detectives are eating the evidence, which is why Mary giggles. Sincethe readers know and the characters do not, this is dramatic irony. This also shows thats, in this situation, the readers feel like yelling at the detectives because the evidence is "right under our very noses. In conclusion, "Lamb of the Slaughter" by Roald Dahl uses irony to make the story memorable.

How would you feel if someone told you that you were his or her best friend?

I would feel awkward if I beraly knew the person. For example, a few months ago there was a girl who thought I was her best friend because she would tell me everything and I told her somethings but that didn't mean I was, well I didn't feel like she was. But its different if someone that you feel like is your friend and you guys can get to that point then well yeah, its different. Its just awkward if its not like that because you don't know what to tell the person. They might get mad or something, like they might not like you after that. Or they might not trust you because some people take it to the heart.

What makes your best friend your best friend?

Something that really makes a best friend, is someone who is always there no matter what. Someone that is there even though you guys got in a fight or arguement. Someone who listens to you and is trustworthy. A best friend is someone you can count on when you need them. Ita those special moments that you guys and that no body else gets. Or when they are the only ones who understand you. A best friend is someone who is probably the complete opposite of you or maybe someone who is exactly like you. Thats how I think of it.

"Notes from a Bottle" Ambiguity Paragraph.

In "Notes from a Bottle," James Stevenson's use of ambiguity engages the reader. For example,
the narrator explains "Cheerful voices can be heard echoing in the fire stairs", while the water is
rising. This shows that It keeps the reader entertained because they don't know why they are
happy and partying when something so bad is going on. This also shows that motivation is
ambiguous is because we don't understand why they are parting instead of crying for their lives.
In addition, the narrator also says "There is still no explanation for the flood, beyond the rumors
shouted from one building to another” because they don’t know how or why the flood happened.
This shows that It's ambiguous as to where the flood is coming from and why it keeps getting
higher. This also shows that It makes people want to read more and find out. In conclusion,
“Notes from a Bottle” by James Stevenson use of ambiguity dioes engage the reader.

I wish I had one more chance to..... Then I would.....

I wish I had so many chances to not make the mistakes I did. With maybe just one more chance i would be at my mom's house, with my family. Though I don't regret anything, sometimes I think to much and regret every single bad mistake. Like if I hadn't been late to my pick up time yesterday, I wouldn't have my passes taken away for a week or maybe even longer. We do stupid stuf sometimes with out even thinking about it, and sometimes if we would have just thought about the consequences, then we wouldn't regret what happend, or be sad, mad, angry and live with that mistake. Thats how I think about it, but then again if we wouldn't had made the mistakes that we did, or the things that hapened in our lifes then we wouldn't be the person we are today.

JCCS Academic Language Assessment Week 15

Cell phones are not safe to use while driving. For example, when you text or just use your phone for anything behind the wheel, its hard to maintain a fixed speed. This shows that the chances of someone getting into a car accident are high, then the person has to ASSESS the amount they have to pay to fix their car or the other person's car and injuries if there is any. In addition, when speaking on the phone, lets say the person gets an overwhelming news or something totally not RELATED to that and their whole speed changes, either to slow or to fast. Now, that can really be a drag. This shows that texting and using your phone is not so safe for anyone. The CONCEPT of using a bluetooth or having your car speak to you,  is the same thing. The person can get any type of news that changes their mood and causes them to crash and end up in a bad accident. In conclusion, cells phones are not safe while driving.

What do you think about people who are inconsiderate of others?

I think that anyone who doesn't take a moment to think about the other person's feeling is just stupid or has no brain. They should probably take a moment to think about what the person is going to feel or how he/she is going to act. I think it come natural to a lot of people most of the time but then then theres people who just don't care about others and it may cause them some difficulties. I like to take into consideration other people's feelings, reactions and thoughts. It comes naturally for some reason.

What do you like to do in your free time?

What is your most indispensable possession and why?

The most indispensable possession I have would be my hair straighter. I use it every day and I've had it for two years. It’s just like important to me and it has a lot of value. It has a lot of value because it was given to me by my cousin and it was expensive too. I've had like two iPods and they were important because I can't really work without music, like it keeps me focused. I lost both of them but I did need to have it every day and every hour with me. I have my shoes too that are important to me if their a certain brand.
