Weekend post april 24_Storytelling/Slideshare
This story is about a girl who leaves from her home state, Jacksonville Florida, where she was raised her whole life. She moves to Georgia and starts a new life but does adjust to the change. She live and was raised by her father, but when he died she was sent to her aunt who dislikes her and blames her for her sisters death.
After reading this story I realize that people are more fortunate than other people. This girl has no mother and no father and is living with an aunt that does not like her. I live with my mom stepfather and grandmother...and have my dad that is miles away. Everyone of my family members love me and care for me. I feel sorry for that girl, then again it is just a story.

Weekend Post 4-16-2010 Wacky Web Tales
New Year's Resolutions
It was New Year's Day, and I was watching Baseball on TV with my friends Briana, Kiara, Marcus, and James.
“Hey, Kiara,” Marcus said, “What is your New Year's resolution?”
“I am going to learn to play the piano,” she said. “Then I am going to play it at nursing homes. I am sure it will make the residents proud.”
“That's cool,” said Briana. “I am going to volunteer in a shelter for homeless dogs and cats. They are so cute. How about you, Marcus?”
“I am going to help out around the house,” he said. “Every night, I will put the plates and the utensials in the dishwasher without being asked.”
“I want to improve my grades,” said James. “I will study math, science, and History every night.”
They all turned to me.
“What is your New Year's Resolution, Athena?”
“I'm not making one,” I said. “I'm perfectly fine already!”
All A Dream
I fell asleep yesterday listening to an old album that my mom had. I really enjoyed it, though I had a weird dream. It was kind of like one of the old songs.
I've been workin' in California,All the Nice day. I've been workin' in California,Just to pass the time away. Don't you hear the whistle playing?Rise up so early in the morn. Don't you hear
I've been workin' in California,All the Nice day. I've been workin' in California,Just to pass the time away. Don't you hear the whistle playing?Rise up so early in the morn. Don't you hear
Selena Gomaz shouting“Shyanne, play your horn? ”
Shyanne, won't you play your horn?
Someone's in the Living Room with Shyanne. Some one is in the Living Room with Shyanne playing on the old Drums.
It was the weirdest dream I've had in a long time!

Weekend Post of April 3, 2010_ Mythlogy
Myths are things that people people to be true and they are passed down from person to person. Myths also may become as part of a culture. One well known myth is how children are made. Parents may tel their kids that children are bought to them by the stork. Well that is a myth because it isn't true but people believe it to be true.
What is mythology?
The word "myth" comes from the Greek word mythos, which means a spoken or written story. The purpose of a myth is to explain human experience. Many events in a myth are not realistic or based on fact, since the message communicated by the story is more important than telling about an actual event. Because all groups of people have myths, and often myths are associated with religion, the

Because all groups of people have myths, and often myths are associated with religion, the stories have been passed down through the ages to become the basis of a society. A collection of myths is called a "mythology." People study mythology because the stories provide a way of understanding ancient cultures.
Ancient civilizations, such as the Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Aztecs, and Mayas, created myths to explain many aspects of life: how they came into existence as a people; the reasons for good and evil; the seasons; the weather; and the movements of the sun, moon, and stars.stories have been passed down through the ages to become the basis of a society.

Legend, for its active and passive participants, includes no happenings that are outside the realm of "possibility", defined by a highly flexible set of parameters, which may include miracles that are perceived as actually having happened, within the specific tradition of indoctrination where the legend arises, and within which it may be transformed over time, in order to keep it fresh and vital, and realistic.

Weekend Post of March 26.2010_ Poetry
A friend is like a flower,
a rose to be exact,
Or maybe like a brand new gate
that never comes unlatched.
A friend is like an owl,
both beautiful and wise.
Or perhaps a friend is like a ghost,
whose spirit never dies.
A friend is like a heart that goes
strong until the end.
Where would we be in this world
if we didn't have a friend. - By Adrianne S

This Poem By Adrienne S. is very metaphoric and inspirational. The poet compares friendship to many regular and normal things. Some of these things are gates and flowers. I like how the authour made the poem relatable. I think the author went within her soul to figure out the true meaning to a friend. Friendship is an in-depth relationship. I believe that friendship take a while to build. Talking and listening are required from both friends and also the same amout of equality and loyalty.

Dr. Martin Luther King
Martin Luther King Jr. was known across the nation as a great hero and a great leader in the civil rights movement. Because of his popularity among Blacks, his life, family, and home were constantly in danger at various times. He was threatened, harassed, arrested and even jailed. In January 1957, nearly 60 blacks administrators met in Atlanta to form the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Martin Luther King Jr. was elected as president. A few months later he met with vice president Richard Nixon when they were celebrating Ghanaian independence. A year later, Dr. King and three men who were civil rights leaders, were given awards by President Dwight Eisenhower.
One of the America's described America is considered to be beautiful.The other America contains every race other than whites and in this America the people live in poverty.
I think Dr. King meant that in his version of America everything is right and there is NO segregation or racial barriers. I think Dr. Martin Luther King jr. is trying to say that this America should be more like the other America.
The Two Americas
Based on Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech, he believes there is two Americas. In simplicity, Dr. King means that one America has an abundance of jobs and opportunity for its citizens. On the other hand, he speaks of the lack of respect for African- Americans and how African- Americans have no jobs and even if they do have jobs, their pay is severely low compared to white people. Today, I do think that racism is still about in the world, but we do not see many cases of racism today. -
In addition, the majority of all people are given the same opportunity when it comes to jobs. Due to the recession the country is in now, there are not as many jobs which means that the country is not really overflowing with an abundance of milk and honey. Similarly, the other America today is poor. The Declaration of Independence says that all men are created equally, so why should anyone be treated differently.
