Two voice poem

I am a teachers worst nightmare

I am a teachers dream

I hang out with the cool kids
I hang out with the nerds.

I hate my parents
I love my parents.

I go to parties.
I never get invited to anything

I love what i do
I want to kill myself.

We are what we are, and what we are, is different.

The Lightning Thief

          Percy Jackson never had thought of himself as special, besides that he can stay inside water a long time. He had never knew his father, and after his father had left, his mother married a jerk who doesnt really care for either of them. He also has a best friend called Grover. After defeating his teacher who had mysteriously turned into a monster, he was really confused as his best friend and teacher, knew what they were facing. As his friend Grover, drove him to his house and explained what was going on. He explained to him that he was half goat, and how he was his protector. He discoveres that he is a son of a greek god called Poseidon. From that point he is sent to camp half blood. Camp half blood is a place where all half bloods are put in. So Hades then takes his mother and tells him if he does not bring him the lightning bolt, (which everyone thought that he had stolen) he will kill him, and his mother. And if he doesnt bring the bolt to Zues, the war on Olympus will begin.


So him, Grover, and Annabeth go to the Underworld to save his mother. There is also a catch, they have to get 3 pearls from 3 different places, the first place they go is Medusas Lair, where they have to get past Medusa to get the pearl that is on her arm. The second place they have to go, is to a statue of Athena, where a 8 headed dragon guards the pearl. And the last place they have to go is to a casino, where evil waitresses try to taunt them to stay with lotus flowers to stay there forever. And as they get the third pearl, they go on of Hollywood, where the entrance to the underworld is. They meet the guy who takes them to the Underworld, but it cost them some coins that they got from Medusas lair. Now they go to save his mother, and go to the empire state building, where the secret entrance to Olympus is. They go to Olympus and bring Zues the bolt, and then the person who really stole the bolt was their good friend.

Hate List

Hate list is about a girl called Valerie and her boyfriend, Nick. They both had created something called, "the hate list". The 2 couples were always being bullied by others, so the hate list was a list of everyone they hate. Valery does not take it as seriously as Nick. So one day, Nick decides that it is a good idea to take a gun to school. He then shot everybody that was on the list, including, Valerie in the leg. He then shot himself after he had done that. Valerie then shows more emotion, and changes and learns from that experience.


I think the author had a message to show their readers. It shows how students are with other students, in schools. I also think the author meant this for other bullies(if they have the correct reading level, of course), that if they were going to bully someone and go too far, they might end up like that.

Two sided poem

People shout"hey" on my way to work
People yell curses at me on my way to school

I have a lot of friends
people dont like to be around me

People say i can make people smile with a spark of passion
 People say i make them angry, with a passion so strong


Wherever i go, people smile at me.
Wherever i go, people throw rocks at me.

I ride in the front of the bus
I ride in the back of the bus

I am white
I am black

The Million dollar Throw

The Million Dollar throw is a bout a boy named Nate. Nate is a football fan, that is a huge fan of the Patriots, especially Tom Brady. So Nate is a football player himself, he is on his middle school football team as the Quarterback.So when he once goes into a comic book store and discoveres a football signed by Tom Brady, he saves up enough money and buys it. As he is walking out of the store he notices a sign and it has something to do with a million dollar throw, this contest is where he goes to a football game, and tries to throw at a certain target that is small, from a certain distance so he signs up for it, but there can only be one person who may do it, and certainly it is him. As he gets home, he discoveres that his family is in debt and they have to sell the house because Nates dad had lost his ob and his mom got two jobs.And then his best friend is in great danger of losing her eye. And so if he gets a million dollars he can pay his family out of debt and giving money for his friend for eye surgery. As the days go by he is always ready to go to the stadium and make that throw. When he gets there he gets to meet his hero, Tom Brady. He finally meets the challenge, but he makes it in like its nothing and the crowd is just amazed. Nate is given the money, and instead of giving the money for his family, he gives it to his friend for eye surgery.

I think that Nate was just stuck on two decisions to make, and i dont think he chose the right one, because now he is going to move out of the house, and maybe even the country and not see his best friend again. He doesnt use it for his shelfish reasons, but he doesnt use it for his family, which is what i would have done if i was in that situation.

The hunger Games

In a world beyond what the world now would call a crazy, messed up, and demented place. There are two sides to this world, the rich side and the poor side. The rich side is in the districts 1-5, and the poor side is on the districts 6-12, that place is called Panem. There is a game for teenagers, but none other than that. Every year the government of Panem organizes a game where only 2 people of all districts come together and have a fight to the death on live tv.. One unlucky girl was chosen from the poor side , her name is Katniss, a 16 year old girl who is a very determined girl gets picked with his so called boyfriend. So Katniss and her so-called boyfriend called Peeta may have to fight each other. Katniss already struggles to feed her mother and sister, as she has to go outside the district secretly and then hunt and gather from there. As she gets to the stadium, everyone has been assigned to a person that does all their stuff such as makeup, and training. Finally as they start the games, she had to survive the games for as long as it goes. She has to make sacrifices for herself and other people. The gamemakers also make the game a bit more interesting by putting up forest fires, and putting up some serious stuff. Katniss uses everything around her for resources such as poisonus berries or bee hives to win. Fortunately for Katniss and Peeta, the gamemakers change the rule so that people from the same district can win the Hunger Games, so Katniss and Peeta happily invested in the wealth they were offered in return. She then is presented as the most heroic person in the capitol because of all the risks and the sacrifices she made.

Black Eyed Peas,"Where is the Love?"

One song that is about social problems is, Where is the Love by the Black Eyed Peas. Where is the Love is about what is happening to the USA, even the world. This song refers to the fight against racism that took place in the US. It shows that kids are in gangs, and killing other people, and even themselves.Everyone is worrying about problems that are occurring in other countries rather than fixing out that situation. We need to fix our situation. we cant be going to war as it says in the song "if you practice what you preach then you turn the other cheek" this is not only referring to war but also minor issues that take place here in the united states whether it be racism or anything at all.

One lyric that shows terrorism is,"Overseas yeah we tryin to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin
In the USA the big CIA the Bloodz and the Crips and the KKK"It also says about the big terrorism groups that cause trouble in the nation.

One other lyric that  shows what kids are doing now is,
"Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting their young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what the see in the cinema". And what that shows is what kids have gotten into these days. And it says that whatever some kids see is what they do.

The whole song is pretty much about what is going on in the world and the crazyiness it is forming.


Where is the Love?  Black Eyed Peas

What's wrong with the world mama?
People living like aint got no mamas
I think the whole worlds addicted to the drama
Only attracted to the things that bring you trauma
Overseas yeah we tryin to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin
In the USA the big CIA the Bloodz and the Crips and the KKK
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And if you hatin you're bound to get irate
Yeah madness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
You gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love y'all

People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can you practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father Father Father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love?(where is the lovex3)(the love2x)

It just ain't the same all ways have changed
New days are strange is the world the insane?
If love and peace so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong
Nations dropping bombs
Chemical gases filling lungs of little ones
With ongoing suffering
As the youth die young
So ask yourself is the loving really strong?
So I can ask myself really what is going wrong
With this world that we living in
People keep on giving in
Makin wrong decisions
Only visions of them livin and
Not respecting each other
Deny thy brother
The wars' going on but the reasons' undercover
The truth is kept secret
Swept under the rug
If you never know truth
Then you never know love
Where's the love y'all?(I don't know)
Where's the truth y'all?(I don't know)
Where's the love y'all?

People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father father father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love?(where is the lovex3)(the lovex2)

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm getting older y'all people get colder
Most of us only care about money makin
Selfishness got us followin the wrong direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting their young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what the see in the cinema
Whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness and equality
Instead of spreading love, we're spreading anomosity
Lack of understanding, leading us away from unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling down
It's no wonder why sometimes I'm feeling under
I gotta keep my faith alive, until love is found

People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can you practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father Father Father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love?(fade)
