Jaja's Trip to Nsukka

Jaja's life at home is super dull and is very planned out, so when he heard about his trip to his Aunt's house I would assume he would be excited. During the week he played football with his cousin, helped around the house, and did normal teenage things. He was definitely having a fun time.

When he heard that he got to stay he was even more happier, so that shows his feelings about his home and going back. When he did go back he had definitely grown feelings about different things like religion, his dad, and the way he does things at home. For example he talked back to his father about Papa Nnukwu's funeral and converting him. Overall, Jaja had grown as a person during the trip.

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...

Tarpon Gallore

The Virgin Islands was such a cool place and absolutely breathtaking. I never thought it could be so cool at night as well. When we would turn on the underwater lights on the boat 75 pound Tarpon would swarm the boat like bees to the honey. The Tarpon seemed so interested in the light and they would never leave the back of our boat. We immediately got our swimsuits on and our snorkel gear on, and we jumped on them! It felt like you were in a shark tank. I got so close to them and they didn’t even swim away. It was really striking when I dove down to the bottom and looked up to see all the fish. That was one of the coolest experiences I have yet!

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...
