Johnny Depp: Unlikely Superstar

Growing and giving time and be patient. It's all true it Johnny Depp's career. Johnny someone who came out in the eighties made less money in a decade than he did in His Pirates of the Caribbean. Troughout the reading it makes you go "wow". Where had he been in the years before. From being no one to someone. But with all of the fame the author still talks about how humble he is. This story show that through all the fame the family is still the number one job. It shows to no that he knows the hard work it took to get there but he won't forget what he had to overcome to get there.

Cookie Master

The cookie master. The Cookie master surprised me a bit. I thought early in my readings this was hard to follow and understand. The voice the voice of the author kept me reading on. The way the author presented the story show that Donald Lau was trying to improve the company which he worked hard for. He spent trips in the subway getting ideas and jotting them down on a pad. He couldn't do it alone due to readers block so he felt bring in a new person would give him some ideas. I realized how great Lau was when he brought in someone new to the company. Because no one who has been doing great alone wants someone else to be apart of it, but he allowed another mind to help.

A loved one Lost

it was the day of January 16, 2007 when news brokr to me that my dog brandi pasted away due to a tumor in her jaw. it was a sad day a day that felt like doing nothing but sitting there thinking to myself why my dog why. my dog was a cool dog friendly to everyone and meant no harm. she was my dog following me whereever i ventured to because she with me i gave her the attention. the days would go bye but they never went by without me throwing around the tennis ball and running around with her outside. a dog like this was hard to come by. no one made her feel special like i did and to prove that if anyone else was to throw the same ball as i threw she woulndt chase it knowing that it wasnt me who threw it. we got her as a puppy. a puppy that weight 4 pounds and could be held in ther palms of your very hands.she was special and i knew that from the beginning thats why it hurt so bad to let her go. i was not at the house when my parents took her three miles to the animal hospital . i was chilling having a good olde time playing basketball in the yard. it was also one of the few nights i was staying away from home. i wasnt one who spent the night out just because i loved sleeping in my own bed in my own house. i felt bad when the news broke i felt like i had something to do with her departure i felt like if i hadnt been out it wouldnt have happened.it took days and days for me to realize and understand that it wasnt my fought.

Mick Jagger Wants Me

Mick Jagger Wants Me highlights the icon images of musicians. During the story Michelle takes us on an adventure during the month of November. Through great details of the major event s that they participated in it gave the reader a vivid image of the types of activities the adventured they engaged in. Going to all the parties, drinking and making out with bunches of guys shows that they were somewhere wild and crazy. Through highlights of time I realized that they both were having great times. How they both managed to end up someone other than each other’s house. Also during the readings it was apparent to the reader how big of fans they were to Keith Richards and Mick Jagger. They described Keith Richards in great detail giving the reader images of the types of pants he had on even imagery of his butt were pointed out. The limo he was and also how they were plotting to jump inside of his car. At this point wasn’t tough figuring out which one of the two music icons they loved the most just by the imagery and details they provided. But as Keith speed on the quickly switched their thoughts to Mick Jagger whom they thought was in the studio. They were high strung on meeting Mick until something stuck Susie. She realized that the events she had gotten herself into was enough. She quickly wanted to go back home back to reality. The twist in the story startled me just because it was unexpected. It seemed as if they were enjoying themselves and their surroundings. Sometimes events bring you back down to reality and when these times come follow your gut and get out of the circumstances that are being presented.

Us and Them


During my readings of Us and Them this memoir gave me as the reader a real guided view as if I was in the action and on the scene of the event. This memoir was one that was easily understood and interpreted. Throughout I was guided with great events and details keeps it very intriguing urging me to keep reading. Memoirs are very interesting when all the rhetorical situations are followed accordingly. The title of this memoir also gives us a understanding and evaluation of one group of people to another. The Tomkeys were very different from what was viewed as the norm. They didn’t have a television they went trick-or-treating a day after instead of the traditional day. What also stood out in my readings of the memoir was during the night of Halloween when the Tomkeys vanished an d went to the lake and left on the porch a coffee can of gumdrops and attached to it read don’t be greedy. It seemed to me that what made them different was that they just wanted to be rebels of the norm and do things the Tomkeys way. They seemed to be the greedy ones taking advantage of others earned candies by going the day after to trick-or-treat. Us and Them stood out just because when you sit back and really think and compare yourself to others you never quite understand other s as others might not quite understand you. Standout be different create your own identity.

History of Writing

History of Writing
Writing is a wonderful way of expressing ones interfeelings. Writing helps express the beauty of ones voice and mood that can be interpreted in his or her writings. Writing is a passion that has lead me to express my ideas and also my feelings. I have been a part of many clubs that have allowed me to express what is going on in my surroundings. During my high school years, I was a part of a tremendous yearbook staff and also took part in the mass communications department for my high school. Throughout the years of being in these groups, I found out that writing gives one a voice; a voice that no one can take away or tell one how to express oneself. Expressing myself in my writings has given me an outlet when I have felt like there is no other place to turn. I have learned that writing is an outlet and that it is something that can be held and charished for many years. Many of my writings has dealt with up and coming events, sports articles for the school newspaper, and yearbook. My writings have connected me to others and have made a bold impact on my life.
