WARNING!!!!!! YOU MIGHT FIND THIS KIND OF SAD!!!!!!
You look so peaceful lying there
With your hands folded upon your chest.
You look like you are sleeping
But you are at eternal rest.
For now I am without you.
When someone passes on
It does not mean they are gone,
Though they are no longer with us
Their memory still lives on.
It hurts so much to lose a friend -
Especially one that is trustworthy and kind.
You were that friend,
A rare and special find.
You will always be with me
In spirit and in mind.
Forever until the end of time.
I will not say "Good-bye".
This is not the end.
So I will just say, "So long..."
Until we meet again.
So Long For Now,
Dear friend of mine
Now your heart is gone but,
Your soul shall live on.

Heart Broken
It’s around noon the sun is just right up in the sky. There in a white house a girl sits on her bed with a pen in her hand. With the pen lightly touching the paper a swift move is made and then more and finally it says “ You are so stupid you now he will never be with you yet u keep trying and trying just give up” and as she writes every word a tear falls from her eyes. As the tear is falling it hits the paper and a few more tears after that. As the tears fall u see her get up and grab a rope and throws it out here window. And as she throws one end out she ties the other to her bed. There as she ties one end to the bed she reaches down to grab the end out the window. She grabs the rope and pulls it up then she ties it around her neck and jumps. A few days later her parents find her hanging off the side of the house with the rope around her neck they have been gone for two days. As they see her they drop everything and comes running. The run up stair after stair till they got to her they pulled it in but by the time they got there it was too late she had died. As her parents look around to see why she did this they see the journal. The mother picks it up and reads “To my loving family I know you are sad right now and don’t understand why I did this but I had to I was falling for my best friends boy friend and I knew that I could never love anyone else it is hard to see why I did this but I knew if I were to see them together again I would die so to my dear family it is not your fault I love u guys so much”. The mother drops the book and cry’s she doesn’t understand why her daughter would do this. So there on June 6, 1896 a young girl dies from what was suicide not because she wanted to die but because she couldn’t bear not to be loved by the person she was in love with. The next day a funeral was held and there on her grave laid roses but out of all of the flowers one stud out because on that day he was there and place her favorite flower a lily with a card on it saying for you my love I have loved you always I just didn’t know how to show you. The next day the boy was at home and hung himself to and on his bed said “I know you guys are sad but I have realized that I to loved her, and now that she is gone there is no point of me on this earth so I did what I had to do to be with her”. I love you. Three weeks later there was funeral for him to but there on his grave laid a flower that said “I love u to”. But no one could figure out how it was from till they saw the note on it that said I love you forever and always Elena, everyone was shocked they couldn’t believe it.

Flower
From time to time the sun comes and goes. Night time crawls in and there a seed sits just below the ground. By the next time the sun came the seed began to grow and grow, but as it grew night drew near again and as it did the flower it was growing it began to die. As night and day came and gone the flower grew and did till one day there was 2 days of pure sun shine. The flower grew and grew. Then night came but instead of it dyeing it grew and as it did the flower bloomed in to a great flower.

Fun???
Time is going by so fast and it is hard to realize you are spending so much time on everything else you are forgetting what you came here to do. What is that you may ask it is fun? Fun is a delicate thing it is something that need to be used every day or it becomes nothing. Fun in life is what makes everything so interesting but when you take that away you see that everyone is just like you. There are people that have something else to do with their time but to work or to sit down and do nothing. So as time goes on remember that fun is everywhere you just need to enjoy whatever you are doing.
Theme Park
You sit down and pull the yellow harness over you. You are excited yet scared then they tell you I hope you enjoy. All of a sudden the wind is in your face and you are going so fast it is unbelievable. Then you go upside down and you feel like you just had a small heart attack. Within minutes the ride is over and you are trying to catch your breath, and as you are trying to do that you say to everyone let’s do that again. That is when you know what you did was worth wild.

Summer
Its a hot day the sun is shining and there is a slight brezze.
There a person stands with a picnic bascket with now one around.
As she sits down the bascket there a man apeares and you see her face glow.
Then you see her run to him and in a flash he is gone.
She stands there crying and sad but in a far distance you see the man and he too is crying but he know's if he were to stay he would break her heart and leave her alone.
So as he walks away he said "everytime you see the sun shining bright i will be there".

Time
Time is like no other
Time is where someone can get lost
Time is when anyone of everyone can let go
Time is a place where you can think
But now time is gone
Your time is up
Time is where someone can get lost
Time is when anyone of everyone can let go
Time is a place where you can think
But now time is gone
Your time is up

A butterfly in the sun
A butterfly sat there on a flower
just after it was done showering
Many ask why does it sit there
and everytime i say it
is waiting for the sun to come out once again.

Spring Break
Over break I did many things but the best part was I went to the movies a lot and had fun with friends. I mean just think a dark room with a film just begging to start then hear a box of candy fall and everyone look around to see who it was. I saw many things like, How to train your dragon, also Ghost rider and Last song they were all amazing stories. But overall the best movie to see was the Last song because it proves that no mater how different you are anything can happen.

Time is like Memories
It was 1982 I was 4 when me and my sister were separated. Now I’m 13 and I am trying to find her; the only thing I could remember was her sweet laugh. It kills me to know that we separated, but my parents refuse to tell me what happened to her. But I think that they don’t even know what happened to her. The only thing that they will tell me is that we were at the park, I was on the swings, and she was going down the slide and that was the last time they saw her but I think they’re not telling me all that they now. I have to find her I went 9 years without my sister and this is where it ends. I can’t last any more I need my sister she is the only one who gets me and understands me like she does. I asked all of my family to see if the will tell me anything, but they didn’t I was so mad at them I mean how could they do this to me all I want to do is find my sister so my parents and I can be a family again. So I decided that if they won’t help me I’ll go look for her myself. I set off I grabbed all of my money and my parents; all together I had about 800 dollars. I knew it would break my parents heart to find out that I was gone but I had to I could not go any longer without her in my life.
I took the first bus out of here it said it was going to Iowa. Then I went through Nebraska and many more states, then I finally arrived in Colorado. I said to myself she is here I can feel it. I started way south and headed north I went to Colorado Springs, to Heartland, to Fort Collins. Then I finally said we are so close I can feel it. That day she arrived in Milliken she said she is here I now it. As she walked through the town she said to herself what happens if I never find her. Just then I hear her laugh, I thought that it was her but it couldn’t be so I called, out her name Elena, I was terrified what happened if I just imagined it and that it wouldn’t be her, then she turned.
Elena asked who are you do I know you. Then she realized it was her sister they both couldn’t believe it. Then she asked what happened to you were did you go I’ve missed you so much why did you leave me.
Elena couldn’t explain now she said “meet me at the park and I’ll tell you everything now go and run and don’t look back”.
So Elena did just what she said she meet her at the park.
Elena goes and said I was kidnapped and he has had me ever since. Who, who kidnapped you; it was Dad’s dear friend Jeff. Why he was dads best friend.
Elena couldn’t believe it either; she said that he was going to take me to go get ice cream.
By the time I realized I wasn’t able scream he held my mouth tight and no noise would come out.
Also he said that we were royal. Royal?
How could we be royal? I don’t now but we will have to try to figure it out.
Well I have to go, NO I shouted you are coming with me I have traveled to places you couldn’t imagine I came here to do one thing and it is to take you back with me I can’t last 1 more year without you.
Ok fine ill come with you but we have to leave right away before he comes to get me.
Ok. But before we leave I have to say good bye to our cousin. OUR COUSIN!
She is here to he took her to well go back then and come and meet me back here tonight.
I can’t I’m only aloud out once every night ok then we will make our escape tomorrow meet me at the store and bring Ella.
The next day we all meet at the store. From there we left we took a train all the way out of Colorado. I couldn’t believe it, we escaped. But as we thought all of our trouble was gone we heard that there was a man looking for three girls. We were frightened so we did the unthinkable, we jumped off the train. As we jumped we saw him we were relived, we got away but now we have are stranded and don’t have anything to help us out. We just have a couple bottles of water and small bags of food. We walked for days when finally we came across civilization. But as soon as we got there we turned back around and left all we grabbed were some more water, food, a blanket and a pillow. We ran as fast as we could when we saw him, we were terrified we asked each other how did he find us? We ran for hours till we were far away. Finally we were tiered so we pulled out the one pillow and blanket and went to sleep. That morning we started again and before we knew it we were in a small town in Iowa. We were worried that he had followed us here so we bought rage’s to cover us it wasn’t much but it would do.
Along the way we saw him and we hid, he asked everyone if they had seen these three girls and all everyone replied was no.
He could not believe it that no one in this town could not see three little girls. So he looked and looked but we were not to be found, which was good for us. Once he left we were gone we ran as fast as we could. After we got away again we decide that we weren’t going to make any more stops unless we had to. So we traveled days, with only desert behind us. When our hope was nearly gone we came across another town, we stopped for food and water but shortly after we went back out we could not let him catch us. More days went by and that they soon became month. We were so tired so we took a nap, and before we knew it was the next day. We thought oh no we will never get back home. We all thought that but we knew that we shouldn’t give up hope. So we carried on, and on and on till we finally reached a hotel we were grateful we finally had a place to sleep that wasn’t a floor or hard dusty ground. We went up the stairs in to the master suit which out here was very cheap, we laid down (sigh) we thought we were finally safe for a while, that was till our cousin almost got caught.
I mean even after we told her not go somewhere without telling us or having one of us go, but did she listen no she just went on like there was no one trying to get us or anything(melodramatic).
So we stayed about 2 days and then left, but we left in a hurry. As we were on the road we meet a girl named Emily, she was one of the girls that escaped from our dads best friend too. We were shocked we could not believe that the man we all knew was a monster it was shocking. So we asked her if she wanted to come join us on the road and to live with us when we get back home. She was amazed that someone like me invites someone that she only new for 1 minute and has invited her to become part of her family. So Emily agreed that she would join us and come and be a part of our family, we were so ecstatic. So we walked and walked till we were tiered. We eventually reached about half of our destination, when we meet up with our aunt in Nebraska, she said that she would help me if I ever needed it. So as we arrived we were out of breath and she asked what was wrong we were terrified to tell her but we did eventually. We told her that dads best friends took Elena, our cousin, and this girl Emily that we decided to invite her to come live with us. She was shocked she couldn’t believe it, that dads closest friend would do that but it did. So as they we were at our aunts house he came by we were scared our aunt saw him too she told us to go hide in the closet and so we did. Eventually he left it was a relief, we came out and on the table there was a stack of money that said girls this should gets you to your house and safely away. We were scared we thought the worst the she was taken away by him.
I said, we got her into this and now we have to get her out. This is our fault if we wouldn’t have come here she wouldn’t be kidnapped by him.
So we headed out back on to the road we didn’t know what we were getting in to until we got back to his house. We traveled night and day but we finally got back. Once we arrived we were terrified but we knew that we had to help her or no one will. We charged at the door but right as we were to hit it we stopped.
I said, I want you two to stay here, if I let you get caught again I would be devastated.
Elena and Emily ,no they shouted we are staying together, if one of us go in we all go in together we are a family now and nothing can stop us.
So we all charged in again this time we all went for it. The door fell down but no one was there. We look high and low and still no sign of them. Then a loud crash was heard.
I said, hide ill take care of this.
I took a stand, and as I saw the shadow approaching I was terrified still, then out of the blue it was our aunt I was so happy .
But then the last thing that I wanted to hear from her was run.
Run she shouted, Run ,Run, run as fast as you can get as far as you can go and leave me I will be ok.
I was crying, but I did as she said I got everyone out except her. As we were leaving I saw him come in we hid in the bushes and tried to stay quiet.
I took the first bus out of here it said it was going to Iowa. Then I went through Nebraska and many more states, then I finally arrived in Colorado. I said to myself she is here I can feel it. I started way south and headed north I went to Colorado Springs, to Heartland, to Fort Collins. Then I finally said we are so close I can feel it.

So we stayed about 2 days and then left, but we left in a hurry. As we were on the road we meet a girl named Emily, she was one of the girls that escaped from our dads best friend too. We were shocked we could not believe that the man we all knew was a monster it was shocking. So we asked her if she wanted to come join us on the road and to live with us when we get back home. She was amazed that someone like me invites someone that she only new for 1 minute and has invited her to become part of her family. So Emily agreed that she would join us and come and be a part of our family, we were so ecstatic. So we walked and walked till we were tiered. We eventually reached about half of our destination, when we meet up with our aunt in Nebraska, she said that she would help me if I ever needed it. So as we arrived we were out of breath and she asked what was wrong we were terrified to tell her but we did eventually. We told her that dads best friends took Elena, our cousin, and this girl Emily that we decided to invite her to come live with us. She was shocked she couldn’t believe it, that dads closest friend would do that but it did. So as they we were at our aunts house he came by we were scared our aunt saw him too she told us to go hide in the closet and so we did. Eventually he left it was a relief, we came out and on the table there was a stack of money that said girls this should gets you to your house and safely away. We were scared we thought the worst the she was taken away by him.
I took the first bus out of here it said it was going to Iowa. Then I went through Nebraska and many more states, then I finally arrived in Colorado. I said to myself she is here I can feel it. I started way south and headed north I went to Colorado Springs, to Heartland, to Fort Collins. Then I finally said we are so close I can feel it. That day she arrived in Milliken she said she is here I now it. As she walked through the town she said to herself what happens if I never find her. Just then I hear her laugh, I thought that it was her but it couldn’t be so I called, out her name Elena, I was terrified what happened if I just imagined it and that it wouldn’t be her, then she turned.
Elena asked who are you do I know you. Then she realized it was her sister they both couldn’t believe it. Then she asked what happened to you were did you go I’ve missed you so much why did you leave me.
Elena couldn’t explain now she said “meet me at the park and I’ll tell you everything now go and run and don’t look back”.
So she did just what she said she meet her at the park.
Elena goes and said I was kidnapped and he has had me ever since. Who, who kidnapped you; it was Dad’s dear friend Jeff. Why he was dads best friend.
Elena couldn’t believe it either; she said that he was going to take me to go get ice cream.
By the time I realized I wasn’t able scream he held my mouth tight and no noise would come out.
Also he said that we were royal. Royal?
How could we be royal? I don’t now but we will have to try to figure it out.
Well I have to go, NO I shouted you are coming with me I have traveled to places you couldn’t imagine I came here to do one thing and it is to take you back with me I can’t last 1 more year without you. Ok fine ill come with you but we have to leave right away before he comes to get me. Ok. But before we leave I have to say good bye to our cousin. OUR COUSIN! She is here to he took her to well go back then and come and meet me back here tonight. I can’t I’m only aloud out once every night ok then we will make our escape tomorrow meet me at the store and bring Ella. The next day we all meet at the store. From there we left we took a train all the way out of Colorado. I couldn’t believe it, we escaped. But as we thought all of our trouble was gone we heard that there was a man looking for three girls. We were frightened so we did the unthinkable, we jumped off the train. As we jumped we saw him we were relived, we got away but now we have are stranded and don’t have anything to help us out. We just have a couple bottles of water and small bags of food. We walked for days when finally we came across civilization. But as soon as we got there we turned back around and left all we grabbed were some more water, food, a blanket and a pillow. We ran as fast as we could when we saw him, we were terrified we asked each other how did he find us? We ran for hours till we were far away. Finally we were tiered so we pulled out the one pillow and blanket and went to sleep. That morning we started again and before we knew it we were in a small town in Iowa. We were worried that he had followed us here so we bought rage’s to cover us it wasn’t much but it would do. Along the way we saw him and we hid, he asked everyone if they had seen these three girls and all everyone replied was no. He could not believe it that no one in this town could not see three little girls. So he looked and looked but we were not to be found, which was good for us. Once he left we were gone we ran as fast as we could. After we got away again we decide that we weren’t going to make any more stops unless we had to. So we traveled days, with only desert behind us. When our hope was nearly gone we came across another town, we stopped for food and water but shortly after we went back out we could not let him catch us. More days went by and that they soon became month. We were so tired so we took a nap, and before we knew it was the next day. We thought oh no we will never get back home. We all thought that but we knew that we shouldn’t give up hope. So we carried on, and on and on till we finally reached a hotel we were grateful we finally had a place to sleep that wasn’t a floor or hard dusty ground. We went up the stairs in to the master suit which out here was very cheap, we laid down (sigh) we thought we were finally safe for a while, that was till our cousin almost got caught. I mean even after we told her not go somewhere without telling us or having one of us go, but did she listen no she just went on like there was no one trying to get us or anything(melodramatic).

Day of the Butterfly
Equipment all around and there, a big building with a many rooms in side. There was a room fill with posters, books and desks. It was the 6th grade hall, where a classroom was filled with students. A little girl is the outcast in her school and then suddenly has a friend. In the short story the “Day of the Butterfly” the story is reflecting upon the story Speak in many ways.
There are many stories that can relate to Day of the Butterfly but speak is truly the best to compare with. In the story “Day of the Butterfly” there is a young girl that is the outcast in the school and doesn’t fit in. For example “Then Myra had to come and ask the teacher “Please can I take my brother home, he has wet himself?” This is a great example in the story because it show that she spends most of her time taking care of her younger brother. Also this is a great example to relate to speak because in Speak the girl had no friends and had to do all of their work. Also in “Day of the Butterfly” in lunch they have were boys all sit together and all girls do. The difference from that to speak is that in the story it was that each clique had their own table to sit at.
But another connection between them is there modes. In the stories they both have tragedy as the mode. Like in all tragedy stories they all start out a world conflict, and in “Day of the Butterfly” Myra’s conflict is that she is getting bullied and that she is trying to protect her little brother. For example “What do you wash your hair in, Myra!” “Oh she washes it in cod-liver oil, don’t you, Myra, she washes it in cod-liver oil, cant you smell it?” In “Speak” Melinda the main character is an outcast because of doing the right thing. Then comes the characters rise to power, For Myra it is that she becomes friends with Helen, which symbolizes that having a friend is bringing light into her life. Also For Melinda in Speak her rise to power is that she was finally able to tell what actually went on at the party. Her tragic down fall or flaw is that she is insecure and that she is shy. Also for Melinda in “Speak” her flaw is that she is also insecure. But then the day after she got a butterfly brooch from Myra, Helen starts to realize that Myra hasn’t been at school, then a girl named Gladys Healey tells everyone that Myra is sick and that she is in the hospital. Then everyone decided to send her a gift and to go see her. Once everyone left Helen stayed after to give her some of her early birthday gift, but then they heard a sound and as Helen look out the window and unexpectedly Myra dies. That very day to people lost a friend, but it is diffrent from "Speak" because instead of a friend gone she gains one.
So even though the two stories have much alike they are equally different in their own way. In both stories the characters learned that being an outcast can lead to good things.

Girl
A small cottage sits in a green valley, just a puff of smoke coming out of the chimney every once in a while. A mother who thinks she knows best serves coffee to a father at the kitchen table reading the newspaper. Enter a young girl walking into a kitchen and then her mother snaps. The story "Girl" by Jamaica Kincaid shows how a mother's mistakes from the past affect the parenting of her daughter.
In the story “Girl” ,Jamaica Kincaid wrote a short story that would be hard for most people because of how short it is, but to me having the story be longer is much more hard for many reasons. In this story it has no "explanation," it’s just what is happening now. I strongly feel in order to understand this story the reader needs to put themselves into the story to see the point. If you were to put yourself in to the short story it will show that the mothers in this story just want their daughters to have a better life, make better decisions and to not make the same mistakes that they made.
Though the story “Girl” is short, if you look at it in a different perspective it will show you that it is being told in the mothers perspective. In the story a young girl is getting told off by her mother. Now you may think that it is normal but it isn’t because the mother is calling her daughter a slut. Also in the story to me I believe that the mother is trying stop her daughter from becoming what she was when she was her daughter's age. This is true to me because her mother is telling her that she should stay at home and do the dishes, clean the house, and that she should iron her husband’s clothes like her mother is.
Although a mother means well in life sometimes she means to well and it ends up not ending well. So if your mom is taking over its because means well and that she doesn’t want anything to happen to you.

A Story of an Hour
A small clean room, with nothing around but a hospital bed and an old lady. With a big window that has a view that has never been seen before. As there are many modes of literature, but tragedy was the most excellent mode that fits the story.
Even though there are many symbols that point to a diverse mode, but if you thing about it, it actually points to tragedy. For example in the mode of tragedy the first, main point is a conflict. In the story the main character’s husband dies and she is all alone with no one to care for her. But though it may seem tragic it is actually happy for her. This is symbolized by her heading up the stairs.
Though in tragedy conflict is a key point, it’s the characters rise to power that play’s a big part. In the story the characters rise to power is one of the crucial point in tragedy. In the story her rise to power is that her husband is dead and that she is free to do whatever she wants. Also though she might be in a hospital she still feels like she can do anything. But that all changes when the main character’s down fall happens. Her down fall is the part that really shows that it is tragedy. In the story her tragic fall would be that everything is going magnificent until she is heading down the stairs and see’s her husband alive as never before. Going down the stairs is a main symbol that shows something bad is going to happen, and in her case having her husband be alive is. By having her husband being alive it hearts her so much that she ended up dyeing.
All thought there are many symbols that would lead you to another mode it is tragedy.
