"The Crucible"

                              The Crucible is a story where witchcraft is believe to be done. Even though is not some people start to accuse others of having contact with the devil. Thats consider as witchcraft in The Crucible. It all begin with a game and then everything got out of hand.  A group of girls playing on doing witch stuff and one particular girl got all of this very serious. Her name Abigal Williams and she was one of the main characters just like John Proctor. But Even though they had something going on between them. John would think complitely different as Abigal use to think. As i was saying Abigal was the girl that had alot to do with all the bad misadertandings that where going on in salem's where all of this point less muders happen.                       It all begin with some girls playing on beliving they could make witchcraft it was at night in a forest. But what they didn't imagine is that they would be cought playing this little game by some men. And like this was forbitten in there religion. This girls had to go and explain thereselfs to the minister of salem's. So Abigal disided that she was going to admite she was there dancing to with Tituba, but wasent doing any witchcraft like Tituba was. She said that her and her friend did not had anything to do with witchcraft. So she blaime Tituba of practizinin witch craft that night. Because Tituba was a salve people did believe that she might really have contact with the devil. After she was accuse by Abigal another people accuse her of taking to the dead. There were accusations against her and no body believe that she was inosent. So she dicide to accept what others where saying about her only to not get hang. If she or anybody else would accept that they are practizing witchcraft then the minister would do something to lead them into a good way.                         Another thing is that after all of that happen with Tituba. Then there was more pople getting accuse of practizing witchcraft. Abigal and some other people were just accusing other of been doing witchcraft just because they did something different form what they mostly do everyday. Abigal and other girls where just faking to be posses by the devil and this was say to John from Betty. One of the girls that was in contact with Abigal. What nobody know is that Abigal had something going on with John. They had a relantionship even though John was marry and had two kids. Abigal use to work for him and his wife. But John wife told her to leave for no resoan. Maybe? she knew somethiing was going on with her husband and Abigal. Anyways like some people didn't want to accept that they did practice witchcraft they were hang even though there were not really evidence on what they were being accuse of doing.                               After a wild things got really bad alot of inosent people where being hang and hang. There was no evidence and the people would just take there conclusions and what everyone else said the accuse didn't had the word or power to defend there selfs. Also the minister would do anything to get him/her to addmit that they are guilty. John was shock when he knew that his wife was been accuse of practizing witchcraft to. He told them that it was a nonces that that couldn't be possoble who would accuse her of that. What he did not know at that time is that the accuse was made by Abigal. So when he knew who said this he admitily thought that it was a revange against him because he had end the relantioship with Abigal. John try to defend Elizabeth his wife from this accusation but like things weren't going the way he wanted it to go. He confece in front of the minister that Abigal was lieng because she probebly was upset because he had end the relationship they both had. When John said this the minister wanted to talk with Elizabeth to ask her if she had any idea of what was going on with his husband and Abigal. Elizabeth dined ever knowing that his husband was chiting on him. That when things whent wrong because John had told the minister that his wife would never lie to anyone. So like she said that her husband had never don udultery the accusation that John did was prove to be false. So Elizabeth was to take back to jail and at the time John scream at her saying that he had tell everything.                           At the end Abigal desides to go and run away from there. But first asking John to come with her. John refuse to go so she left alone. John had his own problem with jail to he was accuse of witchcraft to because he was accuse by a girl name Mary that first accept that she was lieng about ever seing the devil. But then she join the group of girls that started with the lying ones again. And hystorical says that John has been after her day and night. That he has told her to sing the devils book. So because of this John also gets arrested and threten to be hang if he dosen't confess to be guilty. Even tought he gets ask by the minster and his wife to tell the true that he has contact with the devil. He first thinks about it and he dose dices to sing that paper that many others singn saying that they are guilty of what they are been accuse. When he sees the wagon of his friends passing by to be hang he looks at his wife and then desides that he wont confese and rips the paper. After that John Proctor gets hang like many others that didn't whant to confuse something they never did. Alot of inosent people got hang and nobody could do anythign if they wanted to safe them. All of this begin with a lie so thats why is good to always tell the true no matter how bad it is if is to save a inosent from been accuse of something they have no idea they ever did.     

"Stand Up Speak Out"

                  To begin with there has been alot of sucides around the world. And some of that big percent would be the suicides of gay people and students that get bully in schools. Because of this wrong treat ment to them they attenmpt suicede and some do get to kill themself for that worthless reason. Thats also because maybe they didn't had support from there family or some support from there school too. This suicides can be stop if this people or students get help or support from there schools or families so they wont think that suicide is the only awnser to there life.           So the things the principles and families have to start doing is. Taking to this students about wahts going on in there life. Doing this they will feel better about thereselfs and not think that theres something wrong with them. An also when a student gets called names or gets in trouble because of another student. The principle should always talk to them first and discuss what was really going on. Because like always the good person would get the blaim and like his afraid about telling the true because the other students dretend him of telling the true. So thats why the school principle and workers should talk with one of them first so they wont have to see eachother. This way the bulling student would have more cofedent on telling the true that when the other buller is in the room. Also another thing that would work is talking with the buller parents so the principle might know something that might be happening in there life that might be pushing him to act this way. Doing this it will help not only the student been bully but the other students that are the bulliers. It will determand if the bullier needs help or if he is just passing through a rough time. This will help everyone out because it will prevent a bad thing from happening and it would help clear things out so it would never happen again.                      Now, the bad calling and bulling agains gay people is almost the same as just being bully because you are afraid of them or of defending yourself. So thats why all of those thing that people call you get into your head and turn to somethng that will push you to think of suicide. People or school students think of ending there life so all the pain there going trough would finish. But what they dont think of is the pain that they would cause on there families for doing that. They just want to escape reality and not be in the same world were they get treated bad and get hurt. To stop this the schools could talk to all of the students and explain how they should treat someone else that they think is different from them without hurting she/he. By this doing gay students would feel like they are being acepted. And even some of those gay students that are afraid of showing there true real selfs will get confident and finally reavile there self to there families and friends and stop going trough a bad time just by hiding themself from who they really are. Ans all of those pointless suicides that some people make other people think about would stop and safe alot of good and great people from passing trough.                     Everything in this world could come and be into a great thing if people would change it to a better thing. And that is by accepting the new changes in people and stop on hurting other people just for the fun of it. The only way this world can change an make people understand there surrondings is by trying to spend some time with those people that you think arent good or just dont want to accept there way of life. Because if this bad treat ment keeps going on then nothing is never going to change to a good way of living. The person that doesn't want to accept new change will just be waisting time trying to change something that would never change to the way they want it. So is better to just live a nice and peaceful life and not hurt anybody else that is tying to do the samething.                                        Finally this is just some ways to prevent suicides on normal peoples life. Because maybe there are people that handle it good without getting hurt. But there are other people or students in school that just cant handle the presure and end ther life for a worth less person that was hurting them. So thats why there has to be talks in school about treating other people no matter what they are like or what things thing like. Just make them understand that eveyone is equal nobody is different from other. And by treating someone bad wont change them and it wont lead you from doing a good thing to them. It just would lead you to hurting him/she and even leading them to attemp suicide or even worst get to accomplish it. That wouldn' tbe good to ahve that fault in your contious. So thats why schools and families of gay or bully studens should talk about waht is going on around them so the parents could have a clear view of what is going on with them if they need help on anythignor if tehy want to talk about anything with them.

"What It Feels To Be Mexican Me"

              I am Mexican and im really proud of that. I was born in Mexico in Guadalajara Jalisco and came to the U.S when i was just 7 years old i will never forget that day. As me there are alot of other Mexicans just like me that have pass trough the same expirences as I or have there own. But like me that dosen't change them at all of been who they are and were they come from.       To begin with my first language of course was spanish. I didn't speak a word of english when i enter elemntary school here. As teh time pass i started to understand it more and more. Until i got the hang of it and until know i can understand it and speak it. And everyday i keep learning new words and new things  i never learn before. Besides this i do remember some old times in my birthpalce. I was really happy there my family and friends i use to hang out with. I remember that my sister and some of are friends would use to scape from my grandma just to go and play at a partk that was near by. Well it wasent really a park but for us it was more than a park it was like the palce were we can do us we wish. Without anyone telling us anything, it was my best and favorite place to go when i was there. It was really big had green grass and it was full with beautiful flowers thats what i most love of there.                                   Well my family and i lived in a kind of big house nice and peaceful. We werent rich or anything but thanks to my grandpa we had a good palce were we live on. Thats because when i wasent steal born and my grandpa was kind of young. He came to the U.S to work and send some money to my grandma and there children that was my mom to. After all of them were leaving it got to the point that out of 8 children that my grandpa and grandma had only 2 stay including my mom, brotther, and I. Because my sister left to a day mt grandpa came back and desided to take her and my grandma.Those were some sad days for me because everyone i care for was leaving and i thought that i would never see them again. The house that my grandpa work so ahrd for to make it big and nice was getting emptier and emptier by the days. This was just the days when i knew that my life was going to change because of what i herd my mom said to someone in the phone. I think that was my grandpa that was in the U.S at the time. I heard that we were going to move the U.S to.             This dicision shock me at that time i really not knon what was going on really but what i did know is that i was going to see my sister and most part of my family that came to the U.S to again after not seen them for a long time. I knew that this was going to be a new begining for all of us. And i was kind of sad and happy at that moment. But i knew that all of this was so i can have a better future and more oppotunities in my life. Another thing is that all of this would't happen without my grandparents help and support that they gave me and my mom. My garndma was mostly the one who raise me and everyone else. Because my mom had to work in a house far from home were she had to stay at sleep all week. And i never knew my dad when i was in Mexico. All what i am right now and all those good things i learn and the respect i have to give to thise who give me it. Was teach to me by my secound mom that would be mt grandma she was mostly always there for me everytime i needed a mom to take care of me. So thats why i will always be thankful and grateful to her and my grandpa.              Now, something very different is that i love lieving in U.S but what i dont sometimes like is the changes people have amde to it. All of those bad things that are happening around U.S. LIke the racism agains Mexicans and some goverments hoping to take the opportunities some of my community are looking for to achieve there dreams. Thats something i ahd come to dislike. I know that people should with a permision to a new state  or country. But sometimes people just have the bad luck or dont get the chance to get that permision. So they even put in danger there lifes to reach there dreams and hopes. Anyways right now im really happy of being here and im working really hard of achiving my own dreams and hopen. So i really wish that some day not long ago from now everything would get fix for all of us Mexicans.                                                                  

"What Is An American"

        An American is someone that has been born in the U.S. An American is someone who lives in the U.S., someone that's proud to be a American and hopes to do something in the U.S. For example, someone who has helped in a positive way. An American is someone who would give alot of thought and effort to this paper and change america into a great country. An American can also be a simple person born with no hopes of accomplishing anything in this country, exept being born in the U.S.                                                 Anyways another reason that make; a person a American is that an American has many characteristics that distinguish him from other people around the world. He is a prideful in everything he possesses or accomplishes. He full-heartedly believes in a free-market system. The American is very hardworking and competitive in everything he does, but is also respectful of others and their beliefs. At the same time, he keeps himself informed anout important issues and events. Pride in one's work and possession is a vital part of an American.        No  matter what he does or makes, he strives to be pround of himself an his accomplishments. I also think that with pride comes feelings that are detrimental to many people. In his mind, he/she believes that people are responsible for themselves and their families and the goverment should play a minimal role. An Amerian will pride himself in owning and running a business and will want others to do the same Independence is another important atrribute of the the American.               An american is also someone who loves their country and the people in it, he or she believes in bettering their own lives as well as the lives other needy nations in the world. I think that an American would come with arms and supplies to help the people win back their country if under attack. An American might be a christian or jewish but he will always remain a proud American. To be an American is to be free to workship he/she could also believe in no religion and he will feel the same way as any other American.       Another thing is that the American would love life enough to want the best that it ahs to offer. He/she would understand that to achieve the best in life requires action, exertion, and effort. An American undertands the need to use one's mind and wits to meet life's challenges. Finally the American seeks personal liberty, to live as they see fit, to worship as they please, and seek to freedom from the use of power wielded arbitrarily by whoever holds the political sword.

Academic Autobiography

                             To begin me almost with there are alot of people who support all my family believes in me. There are other people in my family that are really mean and don't really bealive that I could be someone in this world. But I don't really care what they think and that people in my family that do support me in every way.Tell me the same thing I think about those who don't really believe in me. And I'm really grateful for those people that believe in me and I always make sure to do my best and not desapoint them. I know that if sometimes there hard on me is because they just want the best for me. I hope that the way they think about me never chances. And I also hope that anyrtime that I need them they will alwaya be there for me.                           Anyways, I started school in the secound grade a month after I came from Mexico. I was just 7 years old when i came to the U.S. so the school couldn't put in first grade even though I didn't know any English. But everthing work out well I like to go to school everyday and I was happy. The school I went to was name Evergreen and it was really close to my home and it was also kind of small. It was located in Witter the streets that it eas on I don't remember but what I do remmember is that it was on a really good and nice neighborhood. The teachers that I had in thisd school were nice and cool to me and to all my classmates so I didn't really had some bad times with my teachers.                Then when I had to live that school to trasfer to another school beacuse I was leaving to another place i really was kind of sad beacuse i was leaving my friends and some part of my life behind just like when i came to the U.S. So  I left Evergreen when I was in the 4th grade I was about ti finish it but I had to leave so I couldn't. Because of that I had t start all over again not just the forth grade but my life too. Well, my new school name was Hoover and it was located at Hoover street and it was just some blocks from my house. In this school I new i had to start all over againg a new life not just beacuse everything in that place was new. Not just the school but everything around me were i would i live and all of other things. But just like when i arive to the U.S. I new I had to get use to it I meen I had to, because i knew that i was going to stay here for along time and I don' t think I was going to go anywhere anymore. So I started the 4th and 5th grade in Hoover and end up graduating in there. I would say that it really wasn't that bad I did had fun in that school.                 After that, i attended the 6th,7th,and 8th grade in a middle school called Marina Del Rey it's located in Culver city i use to take the school bus there and sometimes i use to miss the bus and had to take 3 public buses to get there. So it was kind of far. I did had some problem's in this school with my attendens but at thy end i did got to get my diploma but i could't walk the stage beacuse i had more than 2 f's because i didi't attend school that often. But i got out of there to go to Belmont only on the 9th and 10th grande. That's because i change adreess so i had to change school to because Belmont wasn't my school of coice anymore. My grade's in this school's started as A's, B's but then it started to go down to C's and D's and F's but then it was always C's D'd or F's. I would't see A's or B's for some whiles ontil sometime when i starting to remmember about someone that if she would it see what i was doing with my education eveything she told me would't just been just word's it would't had been nothing. This teacher that make me think about what i was doing to my education and future. Was the same person that i had along time ago as a teacher and she was really cool and funny and nice with everyone in her class. I really admire her she would't just tell me but everyone in the class that we should never give up on dreams no matter what. If we want some thing to become reality we should fight for it till it becomes true. Things like that and other serious things she use to tell evryone. I would never forget that from now on i let it go out of my head one's and it didn't got me no where.           Finally now I'm tyring my best to make everything right again and if i don't give up i now that i could do it. Like make the right disitions when it comes to school or in my life. Now im trying to re-do  some classes that i didn't take that serious back then but i won't stop ontil i graduate from High School In West Adams. Anyways a totally different thing is what's my favorite subject and that definally would be Computers. Why? because i really like technollagy i like to explore around the web and find some really intrestings things that i didn't new of. That's really fun to do well to me it is seen new things and know about things i didn't new before.
