Mystical and Magical

Leave a reply

Through the path and over the bridge was a foggy mystical land called Brownsvilla. Brownsvilla was a dark and dangerous land where all the ghouls and goblins lived, better known as terrifiers of the night. They only came out at night to terrorize the townspeople. The only way for them to survive were to cause mischief. When the town went to sleep they came out to play.

The terrifiers of the night would teepee houses,  flatten tires, and tear down mailboxes; they will even piss in cars gas tanks. The Terrifiers would also loot the town’s stores and eat up all the food inside until they fell asleep. After years and years of harassment from the Terrifiers of the night the townspeople had enough.

The terrifiers of night came out to be mischief’s like any of the night, but what they didn’t know was the townspeople set up traps all over town; at the end of the night they were caught. The townspeople made them clean up all the mess, fix all the mailboxes, and fixed back up the stores they looted.

What the terrifiers of night did not know was that all the townspeople were actually magical fairies and trolls. The terrifiers of the night was so shocked by this discovery they stood in amazement. The fairies, and the trolls put a spell on the terrifiers of the night for them never ever to return again.

In the article “Is Music a Good Tool for Health” the author Elizabeth Scott explains how much of an impact music can have on one’s well-being. Research have shown music with a strong beat can stimulate brain waves too synchornixe with the beat. Music therapy is so effective hospitals are beginning to use music therapy to help pain management, depression, to promote movement, to calm patients, to ease muscle tension, and other benefits.

I use music therapy everyday of my life. Music has saved me from a few troubling situations. One minute you can be so mad at the world, and someone can put on a feel good song in your hole mood will change. I work with special-needs individuals and they love music. I have witnessed firsthand how music therapy can change a person’s mood is quite amazing actually. Music is also starting to make its way into the classroom. Teachers also using music as a teaching method; if you think about it we have one song we know from start to finish. Just imagine putting education into song form; everyone will learn a lot easier, and learning will become exciting, and not so boring.

I can definitely see music therapy becoming a big deal in the future for the health field. Once specialist see how effective this method is it will be the number one go to.

I can’t call it a prized possession. I call it a prized memory to a prized possession. When I was in the 6th grade, I had a best friend named Yahquara we did everything together, she was my first friend I made at my new school. I could remember it like it was yesterday; for some reason that day will be forever with me. I was running late for school that morning, when I arrived it was silent. I could remember saying to myself why it is so quiet where is everyone. When I made it to class that’s when I found out the terrible news. I found out my best friend was murdered by her Uncle no less. That is a day and feeling I will never forget. She was a lovely girl very smart with a bright future that was taken too soon. The whole school mourned her death; she was loved by everyone who came in contact with her. Since she was in our class we did a special project, and show in her honor. We made little pillows and other things in art class for her. I loved that pillow. I took it with me everywhere I slept with it, I play with it, I even used to take it in the bathroom with me when it was bath time. That following year I move down south to go to school; and of course my pillow was right there with me. I had to make a quick trip back to NY, ended up having to stay and was unable to retrieve my belongings. As the time went by and I was unable to retrieve my belongings they got thrown away. I think about my friend everyday I always think how different life would be if she was still around. That’s my prize possession the memory of her.

Play time is over

In the essay “Playtime is Over” the author David Elkind is stating that; school are trying to take away recess for more academic. Taking away recess is liie taking cartoons. These things are very important part of the child development stage. Recess has been around way before i was born, its just the natural order.

The study at the University of Michigan stated that from 1979 to 1999 children lost eight hours of free time a week for instructed play and outdoor activities. Children need balance a little work a little play. Children become Restless very easily; after a few hours of no type of break or playtime, I believe children will not be willing or eager to learn. We all need something to look forward to even if it’s just something so simple as recess.

No one wants to be told what to do 24/7 not even children, when they need structure the most. Put yourself back in your shoes as a child think about it you had your parents telling you what to do every five minutes; and yelling while you’re home. You go to school to have to deal with teachers the one time you have to yourself to be a kid you’re still being told what to do by an adult.

This reminds me of a cartoon I used to love as a child cold “recess”. It was about how much Mischief, and trouble children can make in such a short period of time; was full of mysteries and Adventures. It was this one nerdy kid that nobody never wanted to play with, he was the teacher’s pet he told on everybody. He is what you would call a recess coach. He kept an eye on everything and wanted to control all the games  that were played, and all the activities that the children wanted to play.

Recess helps you build social skills and this teaches you how to work well with others. The games that are played such as marbles, hopscotch, and hide and seek. It teaches children team building skills that you definitely need in your life.

Stopping recess will make children tired and lazy. Studies show children who are more active and more physical fit tend to score higher and do better on tests. Schools definitely need to do more research on the downfall of removing recess, and the long-term effect it can have on a child.

I am proud of myself, I didnt do the best but now i have a better understand on were i was going wrong at. I have a better understanding of how to write an essay. I did a pretty good job when it comes down to the basics of completing an essay. What I was missing was examples and more explanatio. Unfortunately I am definitely one of those who thinks of more ideas to contribute after the fact. I must put examples   and explain what I’m trying to write in more detail so that my readers can understand what I’m writing.

Alexie and me

Yes I’ve been ridiculed by my best friend and boyfriend at the time; for taking my first vacation out of the states to Bermuda by myself. It was for my birthday, and all I know was I wanted to take a trip by myself just get away from everybody and everything. But what they will never know is that I really did enjoy myself on that trip by myself at first. I didn’t have enough funds to be out there for a whole five days a lot of the activities and different things to do included two people. I stayed in a Airbnb that was so far from everything that I had to take $40 to $60 cabs back and forth. I had to cook on vacation who cooks on vacation only me. Once my birthday had came and gone by the third day I was so ready to go, but i made the best of it. I even was able to meet some new friends at this very popular Beach. That’s when the party began, started hanging out having fun we are drinking while in the ocean. It was just  the most beautiful  and  fulfilling experience ever The waves was so strong and heavy. I was in the ocean and the waves were just pushing me over and throwing me like a rag doll. My knees were hurting; I even had a slight limp when I left the beach not thinking nothing of it. The next morning when I woke up my knee was so swollen I couldn’t move but you know me I’m on vacation determine not to spend no time in the house. I was limping all up and down Bermuda. The last day of my vacation I had to sit in the house in someone else’s house at that. When I finally returned home to see the doctor. It ended up being a torn ligament in my knee. That vacation put me out of work and on bed rest for 3 months. Whatever caitian that was definitely one for the memory books. But you know what I would do it all over again of course minus the torn ligament.

Spider-Man and me

1). Smart Indians are considered dangerous because they wanted it to be standard that Indians wear idiots and I can relate in the  black culture they are afraid of people who are smart educated and open-minded because these type of people you can’t tell them anything and they would stand up for what’s right. The non-indians adapted this opinion because that’s how they seen them and that’s what they were told. I believe the children adopted this so this idea so that nobody would know that they were smart so whoever they Masters are can think that they have the upper hand which they really don’t.

2). When the author made the statement he’s “trying to save his life” what he was saying was the books are the only escape to the misery that he had to deal with in face everyday in his life. I believe the point he is making about the book says they are always opportunities to read you can always teach yourself something new everyday and you can’t never say that you don’t have time to read.

3). Based on the story a person has to be driving and have determine characteristics. The only way to break out of stereotype is not to follow The Stereotype don’t do what people are expecting you to do because of your race or ethnicity. I feel like your family will help you on the path for Success .Without the love and support other people around you you really have nothing and the drive it to do it in yourself.

4). Yes I understand it quite well I really enjoy how the author uses the paragraph in the sense of a fence of how it’s holding words. A paragraph is simply a section of a story being told or letter being written.

That time I gave myself food poisoning

Leave a reply

It was a lovely Sunday evening in Brooklyn. Birds chirping sun shining as I’m singing, dancing and cooking. That day I decided to cook myself some tilapia fish. What I did was make the mistake of  allowing it to sit out before I ate it. I didn’t feel the effects right then when I ate it. I felt the effects the next morning when I awoke. I was throwing up everywhere  it was coming from every hole imaginable. I don’t know how many of you guys have ever had food poisoning, but that was the worst experience and feeling in my life. I would not wish that on my worst enemy. It was so bad that I could not make it to the hospital one block away from my house. I had to call an EMT. Once I got to the emergency room I still was throwing up had, to drink some milky white liquid to help settle my stomach. That day I believe I threw up for exactly 12 hours straight. After the 12th hour once I finally stopped throwing up and was able to leave the emergency room. I was just so weak and just could not believe the day that I just had, all because of some fish. The moral of this story is I have never cooked Seafood again.
