Freshman Year

Freshman year was great I had a blast knowing new teachers and meeting more friends. I loved all the dances it was the best. But what I enjoyed the most was the sports I was involved in, such as Football, Wrestling, and Baseball. I loved this because I love being active and competing against other schools and teams. I thought all my teachers were great this year and they couldn't of done a better job at what they did. Because my teachers made this year so much fun I can't wait until next year at the Sophomore level I think it will be great.

Why is Animal Farm important?

Animal Farm is important because in this book it relates to actions done in every day life. And this also teaches less on how to lie your life. All people should read this book even little kids because they will get a kick out of it. This book is based on is these animals on a farm who are afraid of their owner Mr. Jones, and in the story they have conflict with the owner and end up solving situations to get out of. One part of the book is when they all gather up and sing their war song to get all cheered up and then the owner comes out and shoots at them. This relates to real life because when our country goes to war they usually have a war song to get all fired up before they go to battle. This is why Animal Farm is important to read.

What is Power?

Power is something that can control you or something that you hold. Power can be destructive and violent if used in the wrong way by certain people. Someone can easily gain power by if they are rich or are very smart. Also they could just win a lot of battles in war and get ranked higher and then you could have more power than other states, countries, and continents.

What holds the most power in my life is probably parents and sports. My parents hold power in my life because they tell me what to do, they make me food, and they buy me things that I need for my life and many other things. Sports also have power in my life because I play sports almost every day. I play football which starts in the summer and ends in the fall. Then Im in wrestling, this sport starts from the beginning of winter until the end of winter. And last is baseball which starts before spring and ends in June.

What makes me powerful is me being able to push myself from things that I thought I would never do and having fun at it.

Why are Athletes Paid so Much?

Why Are Athletes Paid So Much?

Are athletes getting paid too much, or do they deserve what they are working for, and should they be making more money than the president? These are two completely different jobs and I do think athletes deserve what they are working for. And while some people believe athletes are getting paid too much I believe that they deserve every penny of it.

Some people believe athletes are paid too much. Actually some athletes get paid more than the president of the United States. Many people agree with the fact that athletes shouldn’t get paid more than the president because he is one man that runs the whole country. And that also there are thousands of paid athletes probably not working as hard as the president. But what I am trying to say is that a lot of people believe athletes shouldn't be getting paid this much. What I think is that people shouldn't worry about who gets paid more because they are two very different jobs that require much different work involved.

I believe athletes are paid so much because they work hard at what they do. Most people believe athletes are paid so much because they are good. One athlete that is very good is Brett Favre he has been in the pro sport of football for many years and is getting paid millions, and he deserves every penny of it. Another reason that pro athletes are good is because they practice a lot. Athletes can often practice more than 40 hours a week. These examples are important because it is what athletes all around the world do everyday of their lives until they retire. Athletes are paid so much because they work hard, practice a lot, and are very good at what they do. That’s why athletes are paid so much.

In the end most people believe that athletes should be paid well because they work hard at what they do and practice more than 40 hours a week. On the other hand some people believe that they should not be paid as much because some athletes get paid more than the president of the united states, and that they think that the president ha a much more important job than an average athlete, because the president controls what goes on in the nation. This is why people think athletes should get paid a lot and other reasons on why they shouldn't get paid a lot.

The Axis powers of WWII which were the bad guys, are Germany and their leader was Hitler. Next is Italy and their leader was Massolini, and Japan which their leader was Hideki Tojo. And the last two countries with the Axis which were smaller were Bulgaria, and Hungary. The Allied powers were Britain and their leader was P.M. Churchill.

There are some other colonies too which were Egypt, Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq, Jordan, and Syria. Other Allies that surrendered were Poland on September 1939, and France on June 1940.

The Battles

All the battles in World War II were extremely bloody, gory, and gruesome. Some of the most dreadful battles still remembered today are the battle at Normandy A.K.A. D-Day on June 6, 1944. This was the battle of when the Americans fought against Germany, the Americans ended up winning this battle but unfortunately many lives were lost. Another bloody battle was the battle of Stalingrad which is in Russia and the city is also the name of their leader Joseph Stalin. This battle was against 1 million Germans and 1 million Russians the Russians ended up surrounding the Germans and forcing them to surrender. Like these battles many others were just as bad. Some things that helped some of the victories were Artillery which were big guns and also Tanks which were armed vehicles with a lot of big guns on them, and last was planes which were used to carry bombs to drop on the enemy.

Cause

The main cause of all this fighting was that Hitler wanted to get rid of all the Jews by putting them in Concentration camps. What these camps were for is that they put all the Jews in them and then starting to put them to work. They were not treated well by them not getting hardly any food and little clothing. After a while the Germans would put them in gas chambers and they would eventually die, or they would do other things to kill them.
