Importance of Pets

Pets are extremely important in my life. When I was born my mom got a kitten that was born almost at the same time as I was so my mom adopted it so I can live with it. Living with this cat was my favorite part of living, the cat comforted me in so many ways. When I was sick it would stay with me, when I would sleep it would sleep with me and even sometimes on my chest. My mom always worried about the cat choking me in my sleep when it was on my chest but it never did all it did was look over me while I slept. This cat was the most amazing cat in the world. But cruel fate had to take the life of this cat. In the morning a driver ran my cat over leaving me haunting memories that haunt me to this day.

#6

The first day of school led to the last day of three kids lives. Yaquiline, the (lothario), Yessica, the (maverick), and Yanessa, the (liaison) of Yaquiline. On that day, they experienced a (camaraderie) between each other in English class. It started fine, they all sat down in class while Mr. Schreiber introduced himself and the class. They figured out he was a (caste), because he was wearing a red, white, and blue tuxedo. But after seeing that, they realized who was amongst them. . . the infamous “Y Ladies.”
Yaqualine, and Yanessa, hated each other because Yaqualine took a bite of Yanessa’s Spicy Chicken Sandwich, which led to Yanessa calling Yaqualin (tawdry). Yaqualine, or “Yaquie”, stated that as a (philanderer), she slept with Yanessa’s boyfriend. Yanessa’s previous view of as a (convivial) young girl, immediately went away.
One day Yessica came to school and yelled at Yanessa and Yaqualine using (solecism), Yessica couldn’t say anything because she felt (bumptious) because of all those spicy chicken burgers that she ate. Yaqualine didnt really care because she was a (hobnob), she was tired of arguing. So the rivalry between Yanessa and Yaqualine came to an end. Many people say it was a (cabal), because even after the argument, they still were not friends.
But the weird part of the story is, why didn’t Yessica get involved? She has the (baleful) of words that confuses the Y Ladies to death. But recently she found the Y Ladies (bellicose) and unbearable. She could have won this argument and be the number one Y lady and live in (sybarite) for the rest of her life!!

2. An example of a comma splice is She wore huge dark glasses, no one recognized her. Ways of correcting this mistake is to put a conjunction, semicolon, or with a period.
3. The difference between a comma splice and a fused sentence is that a comma splice is just a wrong way putting two sentences together and a fused sentence is a making a sentence go without a punctuation.
4. Two uses of the comma are to set off an introductory clause, phrase, or conjunctive adverb form the rest of the sentence another use is to create a pause.

Are Ideas Worth a Life?

To me the only situation or idea that is worth dying for is freedom. For without freedom we would be back in the times of slavery and probably worse because now that people have the knowledge of what freedom is and would go way beyond what slavery was in the 1600s. There would be mass chaos and more bloodshed for survival.

Project Reflection

In our project we had a great time while making the script. Rehearsing was a blast and lots of fun our team had a lot of great fun putting some funny emotion into the script while reading it. When it came to us to go up we got a bit nervous and a little lost but still managed to finish it.
