Quick Write: Prized Possession

My most prized possession would have to be my kitty-cat Snowflake. The best thing about Snowy is that she is hilarious!! She thinks she is a dog! She follows me around everywhere. My mom says that if Snowy was out and about in the morning, she would follow me when I walk to school. She also tries, I repeat, tries to play fetch. She just hasn't got the returning the toy to your owner part down, but no biggie. Snowy is also an excellent hunter. When you hold one of her favorite toys above her head her pupils get gigantic and it is so cute. She loves ounce, claw, but every kitty needs their rest. So one night she was lying on the end of my bed and I was getting ready to go to sleep. Usually, Snowflake is in her "hunting mood" at night so she doesn't sleep with me, but she just looked so cute and peaceful so I decided to leave her there, but little did I know that she was ready to pounce no matter how cute she was. So I lay down but little did I know that she was still willing to pounce. I sleep with my hands at my side so when she came around and started to claw at my face!! If I had moved she would've dug her talons, yes talons, into my face even more. So I had to let her claw me a little more until I could make one big motion to "safety". I now have some scratches on my face but I'm fine. So even though Snowy will claw you every once in while, at least she doesn't kill innocent 12 lbs coyotes. :D

Quick Write: The Most Beautiful Thing

The most beautiful thing I've ever seen would have to be the view of Wanaka, New Zealand from my Granny and Grandad's house. I probably went there when I was little but I remember it the most from when I went there for Christmas of '05. It was summer so I was outside every day. I can remember the rolling hills and the quiet New Zealand town below. I would look behind me and see my Grandad's very own home-grown grapes, olives, and pickles. I remember I would ride my bike around and then when I wanted to go on the grass, I would go super fast. I had so much fun during my visit so that only added to the over all beauty

Recurring Theme: Rumpelstiltskin and Cinderella

Theme- keep family and important people close to you.

In Cinderella- she keeps her mother close to her and when her mother dies, she stays friends with her reincarnation of a fish.
In Rumpelstiltskin- the miller's daughter is willing to give up her first born child in return for him making gold.

Themes

1. Cinderella- even if life seems hard and unfair, good will come to you eventually; evil will suffer (karma)
2. Hansel and Gretel- age is deceiving; don't trust everyone or anyone
3. Rapunzel- don't steal, especially from a witch; you can't trust everyone
4. Little Red Riding Hood- don't trust people who seem as though they can't be trusted; don't talk to strangers
5. 3 Little Pigs- laziness doesn't pay off, hard work does; weaker creatures are still intelligent
6. Rumpelstiltskin- don't give up on your first child; don't lie

Quick Write: Persuasion

If you ask me, I 'd say that I'm pretty good at persuading people into doing something for me & I've got good techniques for it too. Usually I have to persuade my parents to let me go to my friends' house after school or for them to buy something for me. One of the charms I use to persuade them is only focus on the good things, like you are selling a house. You aren't going to mention all of the leaks and creaks, you'll mention the great view and new plumbing. Another method I use is applied only to when you want to go home with someone. What you do is you exaggerate. You say that you have barely any homework when really you have 20 math problems, but you've looked over them, they're easy. And there may be a test tomorrow, but there's always Advisory. Or, say that you want your parents to buy you something, promise that you'll pay them back. If that plan totally fails then say you've been wanting one forever and even offer to get one for your little sibling. So I guess, my over all persuasion and methods are pretty good.

Quick Write: What I Think of Companies

1. Apple- iMovie, iPhone, Photo Booth, Mac Book Air, amazing products
2. Nike- running shoes, the mile, good quality
3. Target- cheap and good women's dresses, cute maternity clothes (just noticed that, wasn't actually looking)
4. Amazon- cheap deals and better than eBay
5. eBay- terrible deals, you don't know who your buying from
6. McDonald's- fattening foods, I only like their McFlurrys, McCafes and their fries
7. Honda- good and safe cars
8. Sears- my grandad (shops there a lot when he visits), hardware tools, going out of business
9. Panda Express- good Chinese food, orange chicken, chow mien 
10. Microsoft- not as good as Apple
11. Converse- cute and great quality shoes, I really like converse.com where you can design your own shoes and then buy them 
12. AMC Theaters- I <3 movies but expensive concessions stand

Quick Write: Apple

    I like Apple because they make excellent electronic products such as the Mac Book Air and the iPhone 4S. Well maybe they buy the merchandise off of other companies but they sure do get all of the credit and prestige for it. I like the Mac Book Air because of all of its amazing programs such as iMovie, Photo Booth, and its great screen quality. I like the iPhone 4S because of the fun apps/games you can download and how easy it is to download them. Siri cracks me up. When I asked her where to hide a dead body, as a joke, she responded, "I've found 5 lakes near you." and that is hilarious. These are only two product I like from Apple but there are many more I wouldn't mind owning.

Cheese Paragraph

    There are lots of different cheeses that I like and hate for many different and good reasons. My favorite type of cheese is mozzarella because it is the most common cheese used on pizza and pizza would be nothing without cheese. I absolutely hate feta cheese for it smells and tastes absolutely disgusting!!! But over all, no-one and nobody that can turn down strawberry or NY style cheesecake. No way in the world. Unless they're allergic of course. So all in all I like some types of cheeses and I don't like some types of cheese, but there is still a world of cheese out there just waiting to be tried.
