Helen as my Mom

Authors Note: I am writing this creative piece to show how Helen would work in modern life as my mom and it might not work out as well but at the same time it might work out just fine for everyone.

What if Helen of Greek mythology was my mom, I think she would be getting kidnapped all the time and all the police would be trying to find her because they wanted to be her hero. Then if I had a dad people would be trying to killing him so they could have Helen.

Having Helen as my mom wouldn’t be the best mom because she wouldn’t be home to much and I would never be able to see her and I would usually get kidnapped a lot to be saved by a guy who will show off to Helen. There would also be other problems with that to because all the boy teachers would be very nice to me and would like to have conferences at their houses with my mom and all the girl teachers wouldn’t like me because my mom is stealing all the guys. 

Life would be difficult for me and my mom Helen because she wouldn’t be able to get a job and we would not have a place to live.  She wouldn’t be able to get a job because it would be too difficult to do and she would be under a lot of stress from the bosses maybe trying to hit on her.  Life also could be easy sometimes because I could get all the guys to be my friends and all the ladies would be all over me because I am so popular.

Although there is all the bad things that could come from that there is also so good things and bad things may out way the good things, the good things may feel better inside and some on the outside to. Helen may be having a good time to along with me but there is also bad things that can come from that like I said and for her to the bad things probably out weigh the good things

Odysseus/Achilles/Iron Man

Odysseus was in Greek mythology, and Paris started a whole war on the Spartans queen that lasted for 10 years and troy ended up winning the war because of the Trojan horse. He came up with idea of the Trojan horse and they won the war because of him and he went on a lot of other brave missions that I will not get into. Achilles was a great part in the war he fought the hardest and would do anything for his country. There is a person at these time that is a ficanal character and he is similar to both of them.

There is another person that is similar to Odysseus and he is in a lot of books and he gets very iconic on by very many little boys around the world and that is like that in Greek mythology with Odysseus .Iron man is like Odysseus because they both fight for their country and came up with a great idea to win wars. Although Iron man is mostly like Odysseus he does have a weak spot like Achilles and they both are very good strong fighters for their country.

Through My Eyes

In the short story “A Well Lighted Place” the young waiter is being exceedingly cruel to the old man who is deaf. The old man may be able to speak but he doesn't know what the other man is saying. The old man is very alone has nobody to really look after him except for his niece and he has almost committed suicide but his niece caught him in the act. The man likes the “Well Lighted Place”, because it is very well lighted and peaceful were the old man likes to be.

In the book “A Well Lighted Place” is mainly from 3^rd person point of view what happened if we were to talk about it from the old man’s point of view and talk about the two waiters in the next paragraph. The old man may be hurt from how the young waiters is treating him and how he gets treated at the place. The old man is not a happy person but he may enjoy life and he could also be very unhappy with the young man and how he treats him.

The two waiters have very different point of views of how they could have handled it. The young waiter is being very cruel to him because he came in very late rate before they were going to close up. The young waiter has a wife home and want to get home to his wife to sleep but he is a very cocky young man along with that.  There is also a middle age waiter who doesn't have much a life but still enjoys everything, he also is very nice to everybody not a cocky guy.  

The point of view of a story can really change how the reader feels about the story.  Just like in this story it completed may have changed how the reader feels about different characters in what way. So the next you are reading a book or story think about the other persons point of view and how it could affect the story. 

Trojan Horse

Yes this could happen nowadays and this could happen because I don’t think work or school places have that much security even some streets don’t. Yes this could happen at a school because we don’t have any defense in schools or even a work place unless we could throw pencils and some people are that smart that they could figure it out.

Yes I have seen a movie that two men are working for the FBI for 10 years and they are at the top of the chain where they know were everything is and they try to shut down America but they don’t, people stop them. It was a very interesting movie and I would suggest that would be a very good movie along with that.

Ribbons

This book is about a young Asian girl named robin and she loves to ballet dance and her grandmother has came over from china and her parents can not afford to keep her ballet dancing. Since ballet dancing is her dream and her grandmother is keeping her from holding that dream she begins to neglect her grandmother and now her and her grandmother have no relationship.

When Robin becomes o learn what her grandmother went through in china she becomes to learn how hard she had it there. Now her and her grandmother are becoming to get closer, the title shows that robin want to get ribbons but her grandmother is holding her back and they learn to overcome it.they would also wrap the feet in ribbons for ballet dancers for there feet to not grow and then the whole body would be messed up.

Guess who

I've been putting my blood, sweat, and tears, for a long time just for our country, while in the meantime I played my tenure with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947, through the year 1956. I went through a lot to be recognized for my dedication, but it was all worth the pain because obviously the game of baseball is a lot different since when I played it. I came to the world in 1919, raised by mother in Cairo, Georgia. I had family struggles here and there growing up, but I never would let it get in the way.

I played a great second baseman for the Brooklyn Dodgers. Not to mention, I have a great batting average of 311. I was frowned upon for the game of baseball because I am African-American. Most of the players, even the players on my own team were not very friendly to me. When I started to get good and  when I wasn't playing the media was all over me asking me what I am doing and how I am doing it. I got it by a pitch in the head without a helmet because they wouldn't allow me to use a helmet. I wear the number 42.

The Falling

It was a ordinary day at school until all the teachers start getting pulled out of the classrooms and we get sent into a tornado drill but it was sunny outside. We were all sitting in the bathrooms waiting to see what is going to happen everybody is talking and trying to see what is happening. I go up to three separate teachers and ask and they won’t tell us. That is probably because we will all freak out when we know, so eventually everybody started to calm down and then the power went out. None of the students knew what was happening yet. My parent texted me and said they were going to pick me up from school. Then bam the ground is shaking everybody is screaming then it all stops.

I get up and everybody near me is dead. I was stunned at what happened but at the same time I was so confused. I had no idea what happened! I walk out of the bathroom and everybody on the ground is cold and lifeless. Then I take the weight off my feet and sit down. I pray that it’s not like this everywhere. Then two people come walking out from where they were and I ask them “Is it like this—“yes”. I think about my family. All the people I care about. They could be gone forever.

We all look down and wonder what to do so we walk out of the school. We are breathless. We didn’t know what to do. There were two car sized meteorites in the middle of the parking lot. When they rocketed towards the ground, they ripped out the top of our school and all of the elementary school. All of us tried using our cell phones but they didn’t work. So I came up with a plan. I knew my house was close so we found bicycles and we rode there. To our surprise, our cell phones worked there. So I called my parents and thankfully they answered.

“There’s a meteorite one mile ahead of us. We’re going to get there as soon as we can,” my dad said with hope.

I walk outside and I hear nothing. It is dead silent—not even the birds are chirping. “Since we’re probably the only ones left let’s get to know each other,” I murmured.

“My name is Patrick. I’m in eighth grade” said the blonde.

“My name is Sam. I’m in eighth grade, too—suddenly the ground starts shaking. We all tumble over each other, and everything stops again. Sam, Patrick and I didn’t know what to do so we got up and went inside and got a drink and eat something healthy. We are all sitting on the coach and my parents pull up and my dad grabs his hand radio and we listen.

Bussssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhh Buuuuusssssssssssshhhhhhhh it goes on and on the we hear a voice in the background , and it says the whole world is going down we need to fend for ourselv…. Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh. It goes blank from there , we all look at each other in fear we don’t know what to do, so we come up with another plan. We are going to gather all the food and people we can, the men start digging for a hole in the basement, then cover it will barrels with concrete to cover up the cracks. But we need someone to stay out and put concrete over it. “I will” I say, and everybody looks so confused then I say “Trust me I can do it”. Once everybody’s  back at my house I say a prayer hoping I will stay alive and If I don’t send me to heaven. Everybody’s in there with drills to get out and I put the barrel over it,  but before I could put the concrete over a tornado rips in and swoops me away then the barrel comes right behind me along with the other people in the hole then bam. I flew out of the tornado and fell, gone forever.
