A Poem

-

I was just staring at my bookshelf and this is what I put together:

The Beginning of Everything
Catching Fire
Unwind
The Diabolic

We were making this type of poem in class, so I wanted to make one with my own books.

A Movie Review: The Outsiders (Spoiler Alert!)

-
The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton is one of my favorite books that I have ever read. I also enjoyed the movie very much, but just like with other movies based on novels, I wasn't fully satisfied with it. The movie has a run time of 1 hour and 31 minutes, which I think is okay. A common thing I see between books, and movies based on books is that there is always something missing. That is what makes the movies, based on books, I watch just being a shy bit away from making me fully happy. The first thing I feel is missing is at the beginning. In the book, Ponyboy introduces the gang: Sodapop, Darry, Dally, Steve, Two-bit, and Johnny. However, in the movie, they were not introduced at all, so we didn't really know much about any of them. People who have read the book might understood the characters without them having to be introduced, but not everyone would have read the book, or remembered while watching the movie. For me, it wasn't much of an issue, having I just r...

My Graduation Speech

-
Hello parents, families, teachers, staff, fellow classmates, and future graduates of Golf Middle School. Today is the day of endings and beginnings. The ending of our life at middle school. The ending of being a kid. The ending of not having to think about the future. The ending of living in a small world. But, as Senator Orrin Hatch said, “Graduation is not the end; it’s the beginning.” I believe today is the beginning of a newfound freedom for all of us. The beginning of seeing the world with a bigger viewpoint. The beginning of our moms realizing that in a few years, they won't have to do our laundry anymore. The beginning of new friends, and adventures. Of exploring new places. Of learning about what life really is. Each of us didn't get here alone. We stuck together so that we could stand here today. No matter all the hard work, the deadlines, and drama. We persevered and got through it all. I want to thank all my teachers who helped my classmates and I reach this poin...

  Margie Oppenheimer is a Holocaust survivor who has an interesting story about the three camps that she was sent to. First, she went to Riga Ghetto where she had to shovel snow. Though it seems like hard work, she said that it wasn't so hard, and she continued working hard so that she could survive. Not too long after she was sent to work at a rubber factory at Stutthof Concentration Camp. Some people think that everyone who watched over prisoners were bad because they were being cruel to their prisoners, but Margie’s boss at the factory wasn't like those stereotypes. He let his employees take pictures of themselves, and cook in his kitchen using his food. He had helped Margie and many others survive too. During a selection at this camp, Margie was chosen to die, but she didn't die thanks to her trusty friends Fanny and Rosaly. They pulled her under the fence and brought her to another barrack. Many things and people helped Margie survive through the Hol...
