Political post

Author: Brian Schwartz The article I read was about the senate race in Florida between Rick Scott and Bill Nelson. This race is supposed to be the most expensive senate race ever. In this case money matters and both candidates have plenty of money because they are both receiving so many donations. The reason Scott has so many money is because he was apart of a group based in Southern Florida. This was a political action committee. They have already raised 1.7 million and he had a huge donation of $250,000 from a supportive group. Nelson could win because he has a bank of his own. His campaign had raised 10 million through the early months of 2018 and also have an extra 8 million on the side. A popular bank named Regions has given him $114,000. The downside was his background when he was a CEO of a healthcare company. He defrauded taxpayers and was asked to step down and leave the company. In the investigation they found nothing and did not charge him with anything. Title: Big m...

Logan- Free Post - Poem(Fortnite) Katie- Purple Hibiscus Response

PH Response

In the book Purple Hibiscus, the narrator is a fifteen year old girl named Kambili and she is living a complicated life in Enugu, Nigeria. There family is very wealthy but her father is very abusive, religious, and strict. I find it interesting that all of her actions revolve around her father. She has to get amazing grades and has no friends because he is so strict. She and her brother Jaja are a lesser level of a slave. A scene is when Papa beats their mom and they both clean the blood up immediately. I find it interesting that their whole church community finds him as "The Guy". Papa pays for the bakery that makes the communion bread, the cartons of wine, and for the new wing at St Agnes Hospital. He is seen as the good samaritan and the one who does amazing things for the community. Also it is interesting that the amount of praying and worship the family does is a lot. Almost always they pray for twenty minutes before their lunch.

This is a story about overcoming adversity. I play for a soccer club that requires a lot of dedication. My teammates are from many different schools and I get to hang out with them at tournaments and also at our practices. We had a tournament last year was in Foley, Alabama and we were playing teams from Louisiana, Florida, and Alabama. We had an easy first game against Gonzales and played an awful team the second time and played poorly and tied. The next game was against Lafayette and we won that game. We were going to the finals in the tournament because we had the best record and more points. We were playing Gonzales but it was going to be hard. We had out entire defense and our forward that were going to be out because of a mandatory dinner for Catholic High in order to officially go there. It was going to take a lot of sweat to win the game. They had fresh legs and a full roster and we had one sub. We had a hard fought ten minutes and we scored in the twelfth minute. We were def...

Jack - Custom Poem Logan- Poem: Mountain Farmer

Umbrella

I chose this song because I could not find one and it was on the list of songs that was provided. The artists are very popular because they are talented. This song uses internal rhyme, alliteration, and assonance. "You know me, in anticipation for precipitation" This is the internal rhyme part of the song. Rihanna rhymes is some of her lines because it gets her message in a different way and it is creative. This keeps the listeners like myself, hooked into the song and maybe buy it or spread the word that it was a good song. She writes her lyrics most of the time in a effective way which helps her make millions. "Under my umbrella (Ella ella, eh eh eh)" This part of the song is assonance. This part is very catchy and I think it goes well with the song. This gets the point across because it is said over and over again. The umbrella I think means being under her protection or she has someone's back. "Good Girl Gone Bad" This is alliteration ...

Summer Poem

School is out for good relaxing can now begin stress food becomes soul food Rain storms come and go while good times are here to stay And the salty water goes flow flow flow The time flies by while the sun shines for long hours at a time the ice cream truck is just around the corner the best truck on earth Summer is the best season of all seasons but only because of these reasons I used end rhyme, euphony, and Sibilance
