Fall Break $$

During Fall break, I didn't not have the opportunity to go home like a number of other residents did. I was scheduled to work and close that weekend, so I was stuck at Bland. I did however go home for a few hours on Sunday and hang with my mom. We haven't had the chance to just sit down and relax together. So when
I got there she had already rented a movie i had been dying to see called "This Is The End". The previews were hilarious, so I was pretty excited to watch it. She also ordered Papa Johns pizza, which I love. "This Is The End" was such a great and humorous movie. It was about a group of friends who were stuck on Earth during the infamous rapture. Some people might not believe in the rapture, but I am one of the ones who do. This fact made the movie even more interesting for me. All the events that took place during that time they were stuck was hilarious. At first, I just thought they were all going to die, but when each one of them did a noble deed, they were shot up to heaven.

Kings Dominion

For one of my out-of-class activities that was assigned on the contract on the beginning of the year, My and my best friend Kiel took a trip to Kings Dominion. We hadn't been in a long time, so I was pretty excited about going. Unfortunately, there was plenty of road work occurring on 95, so we were stuck in traffic for a couple miles on the way up there When we finally arrived, Kiel told me to put everything in my bag, because I have a reoccurring habit of losing items when I go there (especially my phone). But me being hard-headed the way I am. I put everything in there except my keys, which I didn't think I was going to lose. So went went into the campus and rode The Dominator. I usually end up riding this ride first. After we got off I realized I didn't have my keys in my pocket, even though Kiel told me to put everything in my bag. I was so furious at myself, but I had to enjoy my time and look for them later. So I rode my ususal rides and it became dark. I didn't realize fear fest was going on that day. Fog appeared everywhere and random monsters layed in between it. Everytime I went into the fog I would get harassed by every monster there, because they could see I was scarred. Me and Kiel took the opportunity to some of the mazes that we had been hearing about. We ended up have the best trip to Kings Dominion that day!

Movie posters

In English class, we further on discussed the different types of arguments that are commonly used. Mr.Sweeney displayed some examples of well-known movie posters so we can depict the different types attractions. being used. For example, the first poster he showed us was Sylvester Stallone's famous rocky movie. This movie came out in 1976. Mr Sweeney showed us the poster and we discussed the many ways the poster tried to attract the audience. For example, up at the top of the poster it read '' He was one-in-a-million-shot'' This shows that the character displayed on the poster was an underdog, and usually the audience roots for the underdog. Another example was the second Stallone movie entitle First Blood. His name was one of the more noticeable text coming from its size and color. We declared the type of argument as ethos because it was trying to gain credibility from the actor of the movie.
