Dedications I’d like to thank all my friends and family. They have been very supportive of me through all my writing classes (English and Social Studies). Every day they have inspired me to write all my writings from the heart and be creative. But the one person I want to thank the most is my sister for every piece of advice, thought, and creative idea that she has given me. Her funny personality in general has given me a million thoughts that I’m yet to right.

Section 1 In section one of “ The jar of my 8 th grade creative creations” you will find not only writings of story form but also you will find my personal views on images, and poetry. I taking pride in the way the pieces are written. Having put my feelings into every syllable, because I believe it makes it original and even more of my own. 60% of part one is my “home” stories and 40% of it is my view on images and poetry. I really hope you enjoy all the creations that Ive included.

My weekend Frustrations I came home from school on a Friday and I was thinking that because now schools out for the week end I can relax and read! My thoughts were rite for Saturday but Sunday mom and Latraca were in the kitchen talking of gloves and gas. That was my clue. We would be cutting wood today. This was a long and other wisely tiring activity, and I knew it from past experience. They were thinking about it Friday when I was thinking of relaxing and reading my day away. But knowing my mom I never said a word about the fact that I didn’t want to go. Instead of that I went with the flow, and did as I was told for the rest of the day.

Grandma’s property on the hill Is amazing We had been cooped up in my grandma’s house for three days, because it was pouring rain outside. My cousins and I were going sir crazy; even with all the board games in the house. Finally after noon or so it stopped raining, it may have been muddy but we didn’t care. We were outside just walking around, when Jacob came up with an idea. He was thinking that sense we hadn’t been to the mud pit in a long time and that we should go while it’s deep. Jessica and Jacob”s little sister, and I got on the other. By the time we were tuckered out, we had managed to get completely covered in mud, and were happy to be filthy!

Mommas Raised Me Right. My mom has pushed hard the fact my reputation, also first impressions, and it has become my goal for the last three years to make good ones. I have made many wrong decisions but I’ve worked extremely hard to have a good reputation; good grades, great hygiene, being girly but yet still the tom boy I am, being nice and respectful. I made a huge difference and really paid off. No fights have been an issue, no drugs, nothing anyone can say I did wrong . So I’m pretty happy with my self over all of it. The only thing remotely close to wrong would be that I hugged my best friend on school grounds, which is considered PDA but I really doubt that a hug is going to be an issue for me!

Makeup Girls, its showing part of who u are! Most if not all girls wear makeup. I see it as a mask over our natural masks. A girl may feel sad or mad and does her eyeliner really dark or thick kind of like her mood, but it’s not who she is, she may be a young woman having troubles at home. There are many reasons we (as in us girls) wear a mask; to empress someone, to be different, blend in or stand out. You also have to remember it’s not what is on the outside that counts, it’s the inside under that mask.

Nature I shall symbolize our one true form, What makes the winter cold and the summer warm, I run on bare feet, For its as free as the wind winding through bed sheets on an open like, Leaves from green to red, most of the bears lie in bed. For nature is all seasons and all seasons have no particular reason, Oh that trick, reasons for seasons are a natural effect, it means new life, new joy, and Earths rebirth, Is no after affect.

Section 2 Section two of “The Jar of my 8th Grade Creative Creations” is my thoughts just organized so it takes on the right effects, to my readers. All my feelings about the topic, I try to apply to my writings.

Time Means Everything I have bad time managment skills so when I'am on time its a true blessing. so my best skills are usually shown off after i am fully awake and its about noon.i allow an hour for my hair, twenty minuets for my clothes, and the rest is given to brushing my teeth and getting my stuff together for school. its yet another thing my mom has really reinforced for my home life, and time between classes. It may seem like it means nothing and that its unimportant but it makes a huge difference for me being at school I time. So if time myself I'm more likely to accomplish more in one day than if I wasn't timing my self. So I know it's gonna make a huge difference in my testing on benchmark week.

The Present and Future Many things are going on right now and I feel bad. my friends care but when I want to talk to them about it its either there buisy or I cant cause ill get in trouble. my life is seriously a mess, and its turned out messier than my room. Everything's stressing me out. it all started going down for me when my best friend was sick. I prayed that she would get better, but she only got worse. I guess I kind of mimicked her. it dragged on and on, nothing changed, so I've had an issue with people touching my sides. its cute when my boy friend does it tickling me but its no when a guy does it everyday and leaves marks on me. anyway, when my best friends left this world everything changed, and its been so different. I'm so lost, and confused right now. -Continuednow its April 22, 2013 and I cant imagine anything could make my life seem worse. there's so much drama. its bad enough that half of it doesn't even make sense. its horrifyingly overloaded my brain. people think they know me when all they know is what they assume. I mean really, threating to tell my momma on me? get real me and her are so close its unreal, I tell her everything. trying to threaten this Christian girl with God? well um, I do believe he knows what I've done, what I'm going to do, and what I will do. the thing is, he'll except me for me, and I really don't care what others think. what I think is what matters, along with my family's thoughts.

Londyns Final Thoughts You should never be afraid to live. live in the moment and you can accomplish a lot, but to live in the moment and plan ahead is to create more opportunities, to explore the unknown. so learn from your mistakes, take in your discourages and learn as much as you can.it is right because the world can be a dark and scary place, but its also filled with amazing things you can live and enjoy. bask in the knowledge of living as you would the sun.

My Definitions Just because you think something happened or your told so, doesn't mean it did. so don't judge some one for a mess up if you don't have the proof to justify your judging. Justice is knowing the truth and doing what's right to help clear the wrong. The des ire to punish some one is usually out of anger and pain, and under those influences there's a lot that could go wrong. a situation going bad is really not what you want to happen. So the big difference to me is wanting to punish someone is not using your head, and justice is thinking about it first, before taking action.

Random Thought of the day. Well now I'm on the topic of a new name. I've always hated my name for its disadvantages . I ws made fun of so much so ive asked my friend whay he thinks after naming possibilities some were: Elaina, Lauraina, Lexy, and Haven. well he's a typical guy right? well so predictably he likes lexy. okay I get it but every girl I've known named lexy is a near sighted, self centered person. except my cousin. all my friends stereotype girls with that name. do I want to be judged like that? anyway the topic got changed by a friend to baby names some how. and I just kind of freaked out my guy friends. I'm so blonde and naive. so I've been thinking about changing my look and I think more red in my hair, and maybe a shade darker eye pencil to match it.

Introduction to Part 3. For section three I've included some fun and crazy writings. the writings are reflections of my imagination in many ways. In up to an hour I've tried to perfect, and polish these writings. Thanks to my English Teacher, I have found it easier to read my pieces out loud thin read them backwards. this process is the main reason I can edit on my own and have few to no errors to correct after a fellow student has edit the piece also. I hope you enjoy it all!

Imagination If I were to get stranded on some island in the middle of no where, by my self, alone, and unsupervised the first thing I would probably do would be to get rid of extra clothes that I was wearing. its and island, its hot, its humid, and makes you sweat. When its hot its a lot cooler if your not smothered in cloth. I personally would not car if it was a school rule to wear shorts with a four inch seem for one its not school and for another its to hot to wear basket ball shorts or Jim cloths I might have in my bag. after taking care of the heat issue my second concern would be water, because I know my body can go a lot longer without food than water. The island is surrounded by water surly there is fresh water some where on the island. once I found water id note where it was like "seven passes from the cliff on the north side of the island." Now that I've found my water supply im most likely going to be hungry, its been a couple of hours sense I've ate any thing. now next thing is going to be food and shelter. By now my complete instincts are kicking in, I've lost my panic and my survival training skills. now that my instincts are in gear I'm closer to savage than to civil person. I've lost my extra clothes and I'm exploring. not thinking of recue, my curiosity gets the best of me, so I take a look around. at home, yes I lived off the land but never came to be a true part of it , my hunting skills are enough to help me survive. now I'm savage, uncivil, one with nature, and new and a totally changed person, inside and out.

Reasons within reasons I'm Mythology many heroes attempt to defy fate. Some of these various heroes succeed, some fail. Indeed some attempts are foolish, and then there is some attempts very heroic without a doubt. One story that shows both of these actions is "Hercules" the cartoon or animated version. It seems very heroic in this story that Hercules saves a "damsel in distress". Meg, a some-what tool for hades, gets herself in trouble. though Hercules happens to be present when this accurse; he cant help himself, he has to rescue this girl. all in all he rescues her and they go on there marry way. further more, on down the line Meg had been ordered to trap Hercules again. Well Meg has been ordered to trap him, along with a couple others help she does the deed, thin feels terrible for it, when Hercules escapes she falls for him. they fall in love and she gets in more trouble. this trouble was with hades. hades uses her against Hercules immortality. he gives it up while being very foolish.

My Defensive Side To the Jury, ladies and gentlemen, the defense would like to now present thir entire case. Please consider all evidence presented and explained. The highlights are at list; The EL Train, the switchblade knife, the glasses in question, and the condition of the elderly mean. The defense would first like to bring the question of the El Train passing. if anyone has been in a building right by the El Train tracks they know a person can not hear over it when it passes. The testimony stated the elderly man hear the boy say, "I'm going to kill you" but when he said it there was an El Train passing by. Though its so unlikely its almost impossible. Now the defense would like to mention the knife that was summited into evidence by police. The switch blade knife is farly common in the slums where the murder took place. many are sold, traded, or bought every day there. to prove a point, one of the jury members brought one in , its almost identical, and there's all most no difference only one was bought and used to kill. Another fact that the defense presents is the fact the woman stated as an eye witness supposedly saw the boy commit the act through a window and an El Train car. yes, its possible that she did see its, but what about the red marks on her nose? those marks are typically made by glasses. and no one usually would go to bed with glasses on . the statement was she was in bed, rolled over and saw it happen. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury the deference has presented its case with evidence and fact. We the defense hope you find the accused not guilty. We ask you keep in mind all of the case presented, and explained. nothing further, as defense we thank the jury and court. Summarizing my Favorite novel.

Novell Remix Fire had finally seen Derrick in G-History fourth hour. on normal days fire would have laughed at all his jokes, and his humorous laugh. today was not a day for that Fires father human form monster with brilliantly sun-orange hair and tinted skin was always there whether he was torching a blue leopard or a winded red bird by walking past these torturous cages they were trapped in. but fire wasn't just part monster she was graced. Fire had been tucked away with nothing to do except work for homeschool and see few people in her life. Derrick was always wanting something whether it be to be outside, hanging out with her on his terms or notl on the thing that bothered her most was she was there whenever he asked and he was always busy when she wanted to see him on her terms. Not his. Many things had happened to upset her but she pushed them aside for him, the person she depended upon most. he knows all her secrets puts her to the side and known she felt for him kike no other. Sometimes making her angry, and feeling ashamed, as she cried.
