Symbolism Post

In a little town called Fane, a girl named Katherine has the perfect life. She has great grades, many friends, and she loves the town she lives in. She likes to follow the rules and does everything her parents tell her to. Katherine's best friend, Taylor, is very different from Kathrine. She is very adventurous, takes risks, and doesn't follow the rules. Most of all Taylor cannot stand Fane. She thinks the town is too small and hates the fact that everyone knows each other.

Katherine and Taylor are both seniors and can't wait for college. They were doing homework together when Katherine says, "So are you excited for FSU?", Taylor looks up slowly and responds humorously, "I'm not going to FSU". Taylor then explained that she can't wait to get out of this town and as far away from everyone as she could. Katherine felt as though her best friend betrayed her and couldn't even look at her. Kathrine explained, "I already know everyone here and it is time to have some change, It isn't because of you, I just think I could do so much better somewhere else." Taylor got so upset and ran off so fast Kathrine didn't have enough time to respond. 

It was getting late and Taylor had left quietly. Kathrine was thinking about what she had said, when she noticed that Taylor left her glasses. She tried them on and instantly could see better. She realized she has been needing glasses for so long. That night she was so tired and fell asleep with the glasses. 

That morning she felt different. That whole day she wore Taylor's glasses and looked at the town a whole new way. She realized if she stayed in her hometown she would be missing out on so many different things. When she got home he tore up her applications and started to look at other colleges. 

That one day changed Kathrine's life forever. She now travels the world interviewing all types of people. If she had never opened her eyes she might have hated her job. 

The glasses symbolized taking chances and to open your eyes to look at the big picture. When Kathrine opened her eyes she had a better life and happier life.

F.B.I. Raids Office of Trump’s Longtime Lawyer Michael Cohen

F.B.I. Raids Office of Trump’s Longtime Lawyer Michael Cohen; Trump Calls It ‘Disgraceful’   by Matt Apuzzo. This article written  about Michael Cohen, who works for Donald Trump. He was raided Monday Morning. The F.B.I. had a warrant going to his house and office taking emails, documents, records and many other documents concerning Donald Trump. The author's opinion doesn't seem very opinionated , just factual. I would guess that the author is not in favor of Donald Trump since the writer works for the New York Times, but it's very hard to tell.  The raid definitely  means that there will be something to find connecting the affair of Trump and Stormy Daniels. What confuses me is why Trump calls it 'breaking in' if they had the right to raid because of a warrant. I think that Trump is trying to make it sound like the FBI are the ones who are in trouble. I chose this article because I heard about what happened this morning and I love the New York Times and how i

The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas

           I loved The Hate U Give a lot. It only took me about a week to finish because it was so fascinating. I have a theory about why Starr was wearing the hoodie the night Khalil was shot. An African American man was shot by a police officer wearing a black hoodie as well. His name was Trayvon Martin. He is very well known due to the protests of his death. People argue that Trayvon was killed because he looked ‘suspicious’. In the book kids at Starr’s school responded to his death by saying that he looked suspicious and so that is why he died.       My favorite character is Starr because I loved watching her develop and finally stand up to the shooter and everyone else who thought it was okay for Khalil to die. Starr’s friend Hailey argued with Starr about the shooting and said that he should have died. Starr ignored the comment at first but then she stood up to her and that was my favorite part of the book. This was a very deep book and it was so much fun to

A Flash Story

It was 7 A.M. when Jerry woke up to his bed shaking. He starts to run out of the room and everything else is moving too. He is freaking out because he is home alone and has no idea what to do. He leaves his mom a voicemail, “mom I don’t know what to do the ground is shaking and I think there is an earthquake, I lo- love you and-and I miss you. By-bye mom.” He creeps to the front door and see the unthinkable. There are three hundred pigs running through his neighborhood. Jerry doesn’t even believe it. The humongous pigs stop and are wandering around the neighborhood, breaking into people’s houses, cornering everyone they find. Jerry darts towards the attic. He starts to pull down the stars for the attic when he sees a huge pig staring at him. The pig grabs his leg and drags him out of the house mercilessly. The wild pig pulls him where the rest of the people are. After the pigs find everyone they get out their napkins and then charge- Jerry opens his eyes and looks
