BOOK III Questions1. How would you feel if you were in Winston's shoes at the start of Book III? Are there any parallels that you can draw in your own life to try to understand his situation? Write a 300-word response in which you consider these questions.-In the start of book III Winston is located in a cell, which is also known as Jail. He was caught for all the things he done in the past, like writing in his diary and having secrete meetings with Julia. Him being put in Jail for stuff he did in the past is kind of a horrible thing, yes he did commit the crime. Still, though. It’s something that happened in the past. If I were in Winston’s shoes and I had done all of the stuff I have done then WOW! I would be put in that cell for life. I would not be able to handle the situation as Winston did. I could not live without eating for so many days, and weeks. There has been time in my life that I have felt like Winston when he was in the cell. Being grounded for in my world is just about as bad as being put in a cell with four telescreens. It’s like I can’t even breathe. Mom takes everything away from me, just as the party takes everything away from Winston. Winston is locked in a cell; I’m locked up in my house. I can refer to so many things in my life that could help me understand Winston’s situation.2. What devices did the state have for enforcing total control?The state had many devices for enforcing control. For one thing their citizens in Oceania had no privacy so the Party saw everything that anyone did, which was caused by Telescreens. Another device they used was punishment by torture. They tortured you on the thing with the knob that shocking and also another punishment was when you were sent to room 101. Whatever the victims worst fear was, appeared in that room.3. What is Big Brother?It’s the government of Oceania. Big brother is controlling their town along with the party people.4. What thoughts did the woman hanging clothes in the yard cause Winston to have?Winston saw great, beauty in the woman hanging clothes in the street. Though she was not necessarily attractive in outside appearance, Winston saw through her outsides and saw the true, pure, and happy soul she really was. He admired the fact that she freely lived her life happily and even sung loudly with pride, something Winston had not the privilege to do.5. How had Winston and Julia been spied on?By the Telescreen, that hung behind the picture.6. Describe Winston's cell.-The cell was high-ceilinged and windowless, with walls of glittering white porcelain. Concealed lamps flooded it with a cold light, there was a low humming sound that seemed to be the air supply. A bench sat against the wall that was barely big enough to sit on. Opposite of the door was a lavatory pan with no wooden seats. On each 4 walls was a telescreen.7. What crime did Winston's first cellmate commit? His second?Ampleforth was saying/making a poem, and the word “rod” was the last word he had said, he needed to come up with another word to rhyme with rod, and the only word he could think of was “god” and he said it. God was the last word to come out of his mouth when he had finished the poem.8. What appears to be the ultimate torture?-Room 101. After a prisoner is caught doing something wrong, a guard comes to their cell and demands them to go to Room 101. Which no one seems to want to go to.9. What methods of forcing confessions are used in the Ministry of Love?One method used is by beatings. The prisoners are beaten mercilessly. Also, they are strapped down and shocked greatly until confessions are made.10. What is O'Brien's job? How does this change our opinions of him?O’Brien's job was to gather criminals who have worked or committed crimes against the party. This changes my opinion of him because I thought Winston could actually trust him11. Give one of Winston's "hallucinations" about the past?One hallucunation is when Winston is in his jail cell after intense torture. He dreams of his time spent with Julia and realizes he actually loves her12. Why does the party cling to power?-The love controlling other people. They want power, to make rules and have everyone live what they consider a perfect life.13. What is the picture of the future according to O'Brien?O'Brien's image of the future is, the Party having total power over the world, human life will be destroyed and the people will be like dead zombie slaves.14. What demonstrates the ultimate breakdown of Winston's rebellion?When he betrayed her when threatened with his worst fear in room 101, which was rats.15. How did Winston train himself to crimestop?While in the solitary of his cell, he forced himself to believe the statements made by O'Brien. He made himself believe the laws of the party to escape the torture that lay ahead of him16. What sent Winston to Room 101? What is his ultimate terror?He was sent there because he was not completely broken, he had one thing left to do, and it was to betray Julia. His worst fear was being attacked by rats.17. Why did Winston and Julia not carry on their relationship after meeting again?Because the love they thought they had no longer exsisted, they had both betrayed each other and didn't feel the love any longer.18. People are often shocked at the sexual content in 1984. Why does sex play such a large role in the novel? What could Orwell be suggesting by having Big Brother try to manipulate and control that part of people's lives?-Sex plays a big role in this book, because in real life it’s an instinct to do it, its nature to us. And in 1984 sex is a major no-no. Your not allowed doing it, it’s against the government’s laws.19. What is the last sentence of 1984? What does it mean?-The last sentence of the novel is; "He loved Big Brother." This is because it is known that the party recruits the bad people into good citizens for Oceania before they assassinate them. They must love and accept big brother. By the last line it tells me, that he chose the fact that he had to love big brother to live.20. What are your final thoughts after having read the book? Write a 300-word minimum response in which you can discuss thoughts, feelings and details about the novel that you found difficult, interesting, and profound, etc. The Book in the begining, was absolutly horrible and i hated it. I thought it was boring and hard to read. It litterally took me 10 times to get the first chapter, just because it didn't gain my attention. The 3rd book recieved my attention. I actually enjoyed reading it, it was very exciting and made you want to read to see what happened to Winston.I didn’t at all enjoy the first two books, the 2nd one was actually a little bit better, just because all of the Drama that happened between him and julia. It also seemed that Winston just committed pitty crimes against a harsh government. I only enjoyed it after Winston was caught for his crimes.I think the author did a good job on this book. It is a very good and surprising turn when Winston and Julia get caught for the things they did. I also think he did a good job of building up anticipation to what lead into the 3rd book.I found it amazing how much the government controlled the people in the story. It controlled every move people made, every word they spoke, and every thought they had. It seemed to be the only important thing and made everything else seem insignificant. There was no pleasure for people to enjoy, just for the good of big brother. Power was a big meaning to the government in 1984.It had a very big outbreak to "sex" which i came to realize why it was such a big subject in this book. it's a human nature thing for us, and the government was trying to stop it from happening.I didn't really enjoy the book, just the thought of the book. The 3rd book, actually helped me alot, if nothing exciting happened in book 3 then i would of gave it a poor comment..

B00K 2 QUESTi0NS.

1. Propaganda is a way to share ideas as well as influence the ideas and viewpoints of others. Propaganda can be done by hanging posters and distributing fliers, but by also the parroting of ideas. In older times, the posters and fliers were much more popular, but in modern times, spoken propaganda has become more popular. In past conflicts, propaganda has been used to mainly influence the ideas of the masses, and to recruit soldiers for war. During WW1 and WW2, propaganda was used with slogans like Uncle Sam’s “I Want You,” telling men to enlist for the protection of their country, and “It Can Happen Here,” trying to influence the people to keep the war going. In major conflicts, there is usually a lot of propaganda, simply because the ideas and views of the opposing sides are different, and each side is trying to influence as many people as possible to believe like they do. Propaganda is still used today, but not so much in posters as it is in speeches by leaders, newspaper articles, television, and media coverage. Today, we are continually manipulated by the ideas of others. In things such as presidential elections, and new laws in Congress, the masses are always being manipulated into thinking the same way as others. Though propaganda has changed it’s medium, it is still widely used today as a way to make an opinion known.Propaganda is a huge part of 1984. All the posters advertising the Party’s views, and the posters of Big Brother help to manipulate the people of Oceania into supporting the Party, and the posters also help to keep the people from rebelling. The famous slogan, “Big Brother is Watching” for example, makes the people feel as if they cannot fight back because they will be caught as soon as they even think about committing the crime. The Party is manipulating the people to believe that there is no hope for them at all.2. The dark haired girl handed Winston a small folded piece of paper, while he helped her up from her fall. The message read; "I love you."

3. Winston wanted to meet the girl, so he tried to get her by herself, in the canteen, but this took about a week for him to do so. People kept sitting with her, or other people where distracting him, but finally he got her alone. They arranged their meeting quietly, without looking at each other. When the lunch was over, they left without any contact.4. The commotion in Victory Square was caused by a caravan of prisoners being brought through town. Most of the people had never seen Eastasian prisoners, so they considered it a rare treat, and everyone went out to yell & scream out thoughts, and abuse the enemy.5. Julia’s first gift to Winston was a piece of real chocolate, which she got at the black market.6. The second meeting was planned at an old church. The church was located in the country, where an atomic bomb had fallen many years before. This way they knew they weren't being watched7. Talking in installments was Julia and Winston’s way of communicating between meetings. When they would walk together in the street, or sit together in the canteen, they would talk, but sometimes the conversation would have to end quickly. Then when they meet again, they would have to begin where they left off.8. Julia thought life was just living as long as you could live, and doing as much as you can to defy the Party. Julia was the perfect Party woman on the outside, but on the inside, she did everything she could to corrupt the Party.9. The main change in Winston compared to the beginning of the novel, is that now he is against the Party. Winston is seeking out the Brotherhood, and is committing a major crime (like always) by sleeping with Julia. Winston has become an enemy of the Party.10. The Brotherhood is the people who are against the Party. They worked secretly to tear down the party. They'll do anything they can to destroy the Party, even if it costs them their lives.11. Julia didn’t think that taking down the Party was important, only breaking their rules where they touched her life. She didn’t understand or want to understand the Party. Julia just wanted to break the rules, she liked it.

12. Winston first spoke to O’Brian in the hallway, same place as Julia, right in front of the telescreen.

13. Winston’s dream brings up one of the last memories he has of his mother and little sister. He remembered his mother always loved him, and gave her life to protect him, though he still couldn’t remember how. Winston’s mother always put him first and tried to give him what he wanted, no mater the consequence for her or Winston’s little sister.

14. Winston told O’Brian about how he hated the Party and would do anything to bring them down. Winston admitted that he and Julia commited thoughtcrime, and they were willing to do anything for the brotherhood

15. When you were a member of the Brotherhood, you have to be willing to do anything, no matter how horrible , if it would help to bring down the Party. You had to be cut off from those you loved and it might even put them in danger, and if they asked you to do the weirdest things, you had to do it. If you got caught, well your pretty much dead.

16. The thing that caused the great flurry of activity in the Ministry of Truth during hate Week was that Oceania went to war with Eastasia instead of Eurasia, and they didn't know this because the party changed the records.

17. “The Book” is the manual of principles that all Brotherhood members must read. The book explains everything about the party and it’s motives, and how they should stop the party. It was written by the leader of the Brotherhood, Goldstein.

18. Totalitarianism is a form of government in which all resources, labor, and people are controlled by the government. A modern totalitarian government would be the Nazi regime from the early nineteen hundreds. Aldolf Hitler started the Nazi regime by discriminating and controlling everything. In a sense Hitler is like Big Brother in the book 1984, because- although Big Brother was not a real person, just a figurative idea- he ruled the totalitarian regime know in the book as Ingsoc. In 1984, Big brother and the Party control everything. They control the resources, the people, how the resources are used, and even how people think. Even people’s everyday lives were controlled.This is very similar to Hitler’s rule. Hitler controlled all the people, and pretty much killed those he didn’t like. Hitler controlled the resources, and how they were used. He even controlled the everyday lives of people, just like big brother and the Party in the book.Although the Nazis and the totalitarian regime in 1984 are very similar n some ways, they are also very different. Hitler, was only trying to destroy a certain group of people, which was the Jews. But the Party people wanted to be able to kill everyone, no matter what they were. The Party wanted to get rid of all independence in people, and all Hitler wanted to do was kill all the Jewish people.Another difference in the Party and the Nazis was that the party controlled history and was always changing it to fit what they were doing at the time. Hitler and his Nazis never did this. They did not have the resources or the means in which to do this. The past still existed under Hitler’s rule, though just like in 1984, the past doesn’t really matter. Both of these totalitarian regimes oppress and ultimately destroy the people they seek to control. Someone who wants power, whether it is one person or the collective minds of many people, rules both. Both Hitler and the party did the things they did to get power over others, and that is the most important similarity.

I.M.0.D

I.M.O.D"Green Light!" I screamed as me and Devin darted through traffic. I hated the way Devin drove; he always scared the life out of me. "DEVIN! SLOW DOWN! Your going to get us killed!" Devin glanced at me with his big brown eyes, as his short shiny black hair shined in the light. He came to a complete stop on the side of the road. "Well, we do have to wait for Cassie and Justin anyways." We were skipping school, that day. It was an annual thing for us four.We had just left the mall and were making our way back to school. I had to at least go to 6th and 7th period, as I sat there daydreaming I realized Cassie and Justin had finally caught up with us. Cassie quickly rolled her window down and Justin randomly started screaming out to us in his girl little high-pitched tone voice. "Let's race back to the school!" As soon as Justin finished his sentence, Devin didn't bother to let him say anything else, we zoomed out onto the road like a flash of lightening. I then noticed how Devin began to slow down when we weren't even on the road for 5 minutes. Then out of no where Justin's long, green, Chrysler, (also known as BOOGER) comes speeding up behind us, going over the 40 mph over the speed limit. I then glanced back up toward the road and had saw, the cop going toward downtown Greenup. Devin suddenly giggled, a silly evil giggle, and of course I couldn't help but laugh either, when I saw Justin and Cassie waving their arms up and down as they passed us! They had no clue there was a cop just on the other side of them.We arrived in the school parking lot I saw that Justin was already outside leaned up against booger waiting for Devin and me. Cassie still sat inside Justin's car chatting on her cell phone. Devin ran over toward Justin laughing at the top of his lungs. He then told Justin what we had seen and what they didn't realize. They both began to laugh as they motioned for Cassie and me, to come with them.We entered the school and Devin first. Devin signed himself in and walked off laughing; I wrote my name down and the reason I was late, I then scrolled over the list and seen were Devin wrote his reason for being late was because he does what he wants. I laughed quietly to myself, and walked through the door and made my way to 6th period.Finally the school day was finished; I made my way outside, just like any normal day. I waited for the buses to leave before I crossed the parking lot toward Justin's car. I was so glad it was the weekend though; it crossed my mind a few times, what I was going to do tomorrow if the weather wasn't bad, and since I didn't have cheerleading practice. But I couldn't make up my mind. Finally the buses were gone, so I then met up with Justin at booger. I hopped in quickly and plugged my MP3 headphones in my ears. I laid the car seat down and closed my eyes as we drove off making are way home.When we pulled into my driveway, I got out and waved at Justin as he backed out to leave. I was really tired and could barely keep my eyes open; they were super heavy. I opened the door, thrashed my books on the floor and walked down the hallway into my bedroom. I shut the door, threw on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt, and dashed under the covers. With in five minutes I was out like a light. I nearly slept all night! I didn't wake up till 1:00 pm the next day. My day was ruined, I had too much sleep and I was very upset with myself. So I just decided to take the day off and spend it at home with my mom."TURN DOWN THE TV" mom said as she pierced her eyes to the computer screen playing one of her goofy Internet games. As I lay on couch, doodling, watching Nickelodeon I ignored her request, because I was distracted by the phone ringing, it was a random time for someone to be calling. No one called when the sun had already fallen behind the trees that led into the Woods, unless it was Jacob, but I knew it wasn't him, he was grounded. I glanced up at the clock and noticed it was 9:30pm. Quickly mom reached for the phone as if she had been expecting this phone call all night. "Hello?" she answered with a confused expression upon her face. As I continued to lie there on the couch, lazily, soaking wet because I had just got out of the shower, I glanced over and saw mom flagging me toward the T.V. She wanted me to turn it down. Normally I ignored her when she told me to do something, but this time, I had a gut feeling tell me to do what she said, so I did. I knew something had to be seriously wrong for her to want to want the T.V volume down and she talked on the phone. I walked to the T.V and turned the volume down to level three.When plumped back down on the couch, I saw from the corner of my eye something sparkling from where my mom was located. I looked over in a hurry and watched tears fall from her eyes as if a water fall had been installed. Her face was beaming read, and her nose had began to fill up with all kinds of snot. It startled me, and I started to panic. All that ran through my mind was my grandparents. Had something happened to them? As mom hung up the phone she stared at me and by the way she looked at me I was horrified. I started to taste the salt watered tears as the fell from my eyes. Was I crying? I didn't even know what was happening, was it that bad that she had to look a look on her face bad enough to make me want to cry? "WHAT HAPPENED?" I demanded her to tell me. "You sitting here staring at me, isn't getting me anywhere!" The tears began to fall down my face, at this time she looked at me before she began to speak. "It's Devin." She said in a low whisper. "He was in a car wreck this morning." I began to go over things in my head as she spoke, I had forgotten there was a terrible storm this evening. "He was pronounced dead on the scene." As she ended her story she picked up phone and ran into her bedroom, slamming the door behind her leaving a big thump for me to here. I sat there in the same spot I had been all night, speechless. What was I to do? I thought and I pondered to myself as I waited for mom to come back into the living room. I heard her bedroom door crack open once again. I slowly turned my head toward the awful noise, and then I heard her voice."I talked to Devin's Mom." She said, as she slowly glided through the kitchen. It startled me, the way she had spoken. I was confused, lost, upset, and I didn't know what to do with myself. I jumped up, and ran for my bedroom. I slammed the door very loudly behind me and flung myself onto my bed. Tears began to pour down my face once again. This was horrible; I never thought my eyes could produce so much water. I suddenly calmed myself down as I heard mom stomp through the hallway. I launched the covers over top of my head so she couldn't see me. EEEERRREEEK! The door squeaked opened as she pushed herself into my room. Why did she come in here? To tell me more things I didn't want to here at the moment? It would just rip my heart out again.A moment of silence went on for awhile then I finally peeped my head out, to glance at my mother as she stood there slightly at the edge of my bed. Soaking wet from the tears that continued down her face, "What is it?" I hissed at her. I was in no mood to talk to anyone. Didn't she get that? She flopped down genitally on the foot of my bed, and started to rub my leg, like she was trying to comfort me. I looked at her. Still nothing said. I sat straight up to get a closer look at her. Just as I got comfortable, she threw her arms around my back, pulling me closely to her chest. She held me so tightly, as if she was holding the death grip on my. My stomach grew weak, and today's dinner started to stir around inside, like a washing machine, ready to come back out to the world. But this time it would look a little unpleasant.10:30pm had come around. Not even a word from mom had been said unless she was answering the phone. I was so tired my eyelids were very heavy as if they weighed 100 pounds, I couldn't sleep though, especially with all this stuff happening. It felt to me, like a wonderful dream, peaceful, evening had turned into the worst nightmare of my life. Mom returned back to my room with a nice cold pop. I popped it open and began to chug it. I was dying of thirst and the nice, cold soda rushing down my throat sent chill bumps up and down my body. She giggled at me, and then spoke. "You don't have t go to school tomorrow." A smile finally broke upon my face. This made me happy because I knew I could go visit Devin's family. Then mom spoke again. "Rachelle said a bunch of your were down at the barn, and you should join them. I think this would be a great idea, you need to be with your friends at a moment like this." I nodded my head in agreement with her. I jumped out of bed, ran to my closet and grabbed something nice and cozy to wear, while I pondered outside in the barn with my friends.The ride seemed really long. The dead silence made it even worse. I hated everything being like this. I knew now for sure nothing would ever be the same, not being able to see Devin's dark complected skin every morning before school had started. It was going to be hard, losing a member of our school. I would of never thought someone could die so early in life. As we pulled up to the barn that sat right in the middle of the flat plain located beside Devin's grandparents house. I noticed a light, creeping the cracks of the barn, coming from upstairs. I opened and closed the door quickly in a hurry, I ran through the field and up the stairs toward the upper part of the barn. I dunked down, as I entered the upstairs, that way my head wouldn't bang against the wood dangling everywhere. I glanced around and saw all my friends sitting around with hay stacks stalked everywhere. I then planted my butt down on the nearest opened hay stack. All my friends were weeping with sorrow; I then began to join them. A bunch of hands flung toward me, as I noticed everyone began to hug each other. I couldn't take this anymore. It even killed me, to see my friends cry. I wished I could have made them feel a little better, but I know at a time like this, nothing would ever work. By the time it reached midnight everyone started to leave. I didn't want to leave this barn. I felt like I needed to be here. But if I did end up staying longer I would have to try and make a nice comfy bed in the hay, and that was something I didn’t intend to do. As me and mom made are way down the stairs we heard Rachelle speak up. “We’re having a funeral for him this week.” I was determined to go, and I didn’t care how bad the weather would be either.A few days have passed and I realized it was time for the funeral. I had gone to the showing the night before but I couldn’t stay very long. Pain shot through as I glanced up his face, and the faces of my friends. I dressed quickly wearing my favorite pair of dress pants and a brown shirt to go with my shoes, along with a big fuzzy jacket. I watched mom run around in a hurry to finish getting ready. In her hurry worried voice she screamed. “WE’RE GOING TO BE LATE!” Which she always did say that when a special occasion had occurred. But I knew we wouldn’t be late.Quickly, we sprinted to the car. Mom screamed at me telling me to run inside and grab her car keys and purse. I knew if she didn’t have her head attached she would forget that too. I walked inside looked around, grabbed her keys and purse, and then dashed out the front door. Mom rammed her keys into the ignition and we darted out of the driveway. Flying through Greenup I thought to myself. “Man, if mom doesn’t slow down, then we will have to be arranging a funeral from for us now!” Her speed kept increasing, along with my heart. She was scaring me. To death, but I guess her intense speed got us to the funeral on time.We parked the car in the “Reeds Funeral Home” parking lot and waited. We were there no longer than thirty minutes as we saw a humongous truck, with extremely large wheels, slowly make its way through the road, and sitting in the back of the bed laid my best friends casket. I began to tear up, as mom pulled out and followed the rest of the cars, which lined up behind the big truck, to the grave yard. Another long silent trip came to me mom, but it wasn’t as awkward as it was when we went to the barn. I just kept my head turned toward the window, watching the environment as we drove by. It was a beautiful scene, with the snow that fell upon the tip top of the trees. But that moment of wonder ended quite quicker than I thought it would, as we pulled into the cemetery mom had parked on the far left leaving our little silver caviler that we had been driving. We walked over to where everyone was standing near a giant wall. My heart began top fail as I heard the preacher talk. When he spoke I watched them put the casket genitally in the wall. By this time the snow was pouring, as if Devin were crying. Tears once again poured out of my eyes. I stood there watching them close the wall up, then I heard someone say “Please leave so the family can be alone.”I walked back toward the car with mom, crying, and then it really hit me. Going to school now would be very difficult. I’ve thought about it before but I just let it slip past me, I never thought I would have to see a member of my school leave; this was going to be a big change for us. Us as students will have to move on with our lives, even though it was going to be. All I could think of now is how I’m never going to be able to see my friend Devin again.

Eulogy; Death of Myself.

Who am I you ask? Why, many people know me as a friend, a family member, a granddaughter, a sister, and many other wonderful things. I was loved by many, and possibly hated by a few people too. But that never stopped me from doing what I did.I accomplished many of my childhood dreams, becoming a cheerleader for my high school, making many friends, and enjoying life the way I wanted it to be. I loved my friends and family, I appreciated the things they did for me. My Mom, Cathy, she was a loving, caring, woman. I loved her with everything I had. If I could I would thank her for being there for me, I would. She did wonders for my little sister and me. She took us in her home as dad left us at the ages of 3 months and 2, with absolutely nothing but a broken heart. He didn’t care about us, but she did. She always bought me things, even if they weren’t necessary, but as long as we were happy, she didn’t care what the cost was nor if she ever had anything new. I didn’t love her as just my mother, but also as if she were my best friend tooThen there is my so-called Dad, whose name I shall not speak of. I hate him with a passion. He was a low life, piece of crap that really doesn’t deserve to live. He means NOTHING to me, and I will never have anything good to say about him. Leaving his own flesh and blood at such young ages for another woman that looked like a man. Her nose was huge, but I was so young I never really understood why he left. 7 years had past and not one word had been heard from him, until a few months after I turned 14. He all the sudden reappeared, trying to make up all those years he wasn’t around, only because my new baby brother had been born. But of course, that didn’t last long, just a month or 2. There I am, the age of 16 and not one word since then. I will not miss him one bit, and I hope he understands why. If he don’t then he has issues that need to be taken care of.Bethany, my baby sister. She was so annoying at times, but yet cool. Arguing and bickering amongst each other was always normal for her, and me, but that’s what sisters are supposed to do. Making fun of her was so simple and it was definitely worth the groundings. My favorite thing to say to her was, “TINA, you fat lard, come eat dinner!!” I was an expert at making her cry, but I didn’t mean to hurt her feelings I was just goofing off with her. I love my sister in everyway possible and I don’t think my life would have been any better with out her.My papaw Danny, also known as Mama Boone was always my favorite. He got along with everyone, and all my friends loved him. I loved him so much it hurt sometimes. I could never ask anything of my grandpa. But sometimes it was as if he knew exactly what I was thinking. If I needed something, he knew, and it would be waiting for me at home when I got out of school. Spending the night at his house, was simply amazing, he fixed me food 24/7, whether it be his awesome peanut butter fudge, or a simple peanut butter and jelly. My papaw was good at giving advice to me, when I was arguing with mom, he was there by my side, comforting me, loving me, holding me. He always gave me the best feeling in the world. My papaw was like a dad to me, a dad I never had.My nanny, Phyllis. One thing I will always remember with her is “a hard worker.” My grandma is THE best grandma’s in the whole entire world, and I’m not bluffing either. No ones grandma could compare to my nanny. Always wanting to give, give, give. Didn’t matter if it was Money; food; clothes; shoes; whatever was needed to she was always there to give. Everyone considered me a nannies girl. Which didn’t bother me, cause I knew I was too. I loved my nanny. She was like a friend to me too, I used to call her at night just to have a chat with her. Me and her shared a different kind of love, it was special love too.. I will truly miss my Nan.Sadie Mae (also known as Moo Moo); my dog. I’ve had her for about 5 years. She was my best friend, I could talk to her about anything and I knew she wouldn’t tell anyone. Not only because she couldn’t speak, but because she loved me and I knew this for a fact just by the way she acted around me. Playing soccer and volleyball in the yard is something I will seriously miss, also playing hide-and-seek in the house, she was always good at finding Bethany and me. I could be myself around her, and I pretty much lived my childhood life all over again when I was with Sadie.My best friends; Allison Rowe, Brianna Howerton, Alissa Williams, Megan Smallwood, and Cassie Holt. I would of never survived school with out them. They were amazing to me, and I wouldn’t have traded them for anything. I’ve been to hell and back with them. Cheerleading, hanging out, boys, ect. These girls are what I call “best friends” I love them, like they were my own sisters.

Story; for whatever.

Exercise 1.There was a sleepover at Maylin's house. Her boyfriend had startled her and her friend by his random pecking against the window. We ran out the door as quickly as possible, leaving no trace of evidence that we left. Maylin and Janis (her friend) dashed over to her boyfriend. She had a big secret to tell him but she had forgot what it was. But that's why her boyfriend came, to remind her of this foolishness she should of told him. Maylin then remember what she was supposed to tell him, she looked at him and spoke. "I don't roll your way anymore... I'm lesbian" Her boyfriend was stunned and dropped the box, that he had hidden behind his back, on the ground and ran away.Maylin picked it up quietly, opened it, and saw the beautiful ring that was placed inside the hole. She began to weep, and the 2 girls darted back toward the house.Exercise 2."Do you here that?" Maylin said, as a terrible screeching noise came from outside her bedroom window. Janis jumped up in horror, as she ran for the closet. Hidden inside there with no concern of Maylin, Maylin rushes toward the window and opens the curtains slightly and peeks threw.. "Oh GOODNESS" Maylin screamed in shock; it was just her boyfriend, Jason, throwing rocks from a distance. He stood behind the big oak tree that was planted in Maylin’s front yard.Maylin ran downstairs with Janis following shortly behind, through the front door they go, closing it very genitally behind them. The two girls ran quickly over to were Jason was standing, he looked at them with a very angry look on his face. "Where have you been!?" the two girls sat there in confusion neither one of them knowing what was going on. Maylin stuttered a few times trying to ask him what he was talking bout. "Uh..w-w-w-hat?""Where were you?"Still no clue of what was going on Maylin stood there."You were supposed to meet me over an hour ago, you said you needed to talk to me""uhh..er, oh" Maylin spoke as she glanced over at Janis.. as if she knew what he meant now. Janis slightly glanced down, at the huge rock that dangled by her feet. She had also remembered why Maylin needed to talk to Jason; Janis spoke.."Maylin, it's time" as if she was about to tell everyone a horrifying story. Then suddenly, a gush of wind broke loose and knocked Maylin over toward Jason, as he caught her fall with his lips pressed tightly against hers.."I know why i wanted you to come here" Maylin spoke out in depression.. "I've been keeping this secrete for awhile, and i think you need to kn-kn-kno" She then stopped; and began to speak again, "Jason what's behind your back!?" As Maylin tried to peep around Jason's left shoulder, he jumped and fettled around so she couldn't see what was hidden behind his back. "Just tell me what you had to tell me, then I’ll give you what's placed in my hands behind my back." A quick tear, fell fast down Maylin's face, the thoughts rambling on in her head. She knew what was behind his back, and now she was going to HAVE to tell him this horrible secrete she's kept from him."I'm Lesbian"... then a moment of silence appeared out of nowhere as the 3 stood around the tree. All of sudden a sudden gage of noises appeared from Jason's mouth as over a billion tears came racing down his face, he quickly turned around and ran for his car, leaving nothing but dust and loose grass from where he stood."Maylin, look down!" Maylin then flung her head to the ground, and picked up a tiny black box. "It must of been that thing Jason had behind his back." She then slightly opened the lid, and as the top came off, the light that creped from behind the curtains of her bedroom, beamed off the beautiful diamond ring. She slid the ring onto her left ring finger, as she noticed a note that was tightly folded in the box, she picked it up and began to sob. “Was this the right decision?” Maylin asked herself over and over again. “Don’t question who you are Maylin, telling him was the right thing to do. You can’t change who you are. It’s not good; You’ve already got the hard part done, let’s just get back to your house and get some sleep. You’ll feel better in the morning.” Maylin opened the note and started to read it. “Till Death Do us Part; Will You Marry Me?” Maylin then dropped the box, and held the note close to her heart. She darted toward the house, leaving Janis behind. Inside her bedroom she cried for 3 days straight, thinking over again about the choices she made. Not one time concerned about school, she kept herself closed up in her room, missing the one of the opposite sex she truly loved.The End =](( I used 686 words ))
