Academic Language Practice Paragaph 6

Should undocumented immigrants be given citizenship? I think not, because it would be dangerous if they did not have an ID. I mean what if the person was an alien? It would be pretty weird if this man/woman flew from mars or some other universe. Maybe it's why we call them illegal aliens, makes sense.  If the Illegal immigrants work and do not commit any crime. They should be employed and pay taxes like everyone else. The United States should have welcome more professional and specialists around the world. Including these illegal immigrants. For them it's really hard to get jobs in thier position, a country without any good pay. I feel sorry for whoever is an immigrant, if I had a choice to choose whether immagrants could have citizenship or could not. I would definitely choose could. But they must meet the expectations given, which are paying taxes, paying rent, paying off fee's. I would allow anybody to live in the United States. People who are not american have no luck of finding anything would have it as of now if I were a president. So it's a yes and no.

"Two Kinds" Jing-Mei's Shoes Paragraph

How would you feel if someone was pushing you to become a prodigy piano player? I would take in what ever that person pushes me into doing and there would be a 100% chance of becoming successful, famous. Just like basketball, what ever you do will benefit what will happen later on. The girl Jing-Mei should have to take in whatever her mom tells her so that she takes in disappointment, it's going to make her a better musician. Bringing her to fame and fortune, but that's only if she deals with the stress and disgrace from her mom. Like me whenever I play basketball, anytime someone yells or screams at me I do better than usual. Feeding off negativity will not only make you better at what you do, but better all around. I definitely feed off negativity from my peers which brings strength. Basketball is my passion, I wonder if Jing-Mei's passion is piano. We will find out soon enough.    

"Two Kinds" Before You Read: Something You Don't Want to Do

A time when I was forced to do something was when my older sister Jackie forced me to ride a roller coaster called Screaming Mountain at California Adventures, 11 or 12 years old. This was really back then in Nye Elementary School. It might of been fourth or fifth grade, I remember being real young and having Ms.Berry. But anyway, forcing to go on a roller coaster is like giving up an opportunity. I went on waiting in line with my two sisters. Of course I was forced to ride behind my two sisters, the pressure I felt hearing the count down I wished I had not stepped off gravity. Thinking it went 200-300 miles per hour, my stomach felt empty. Felt as if my kidney's fell out of place, the tears falling out my eyes going down a drop 500 feet in the air was an unbelievable experience was remarkable. So being forced to go on roller coasters is not that scary once you know that your family's with you 100%.

Dragons' Den First Semester Week 5: Life Lesson

What life lesson did you learn the hard way?A lesson I learned from my grandparents was never talk back, if someone is older than you are. Obey anything they tell you because it shows respect, when learning the hard way it should. For example, cursing at older people so that the older person doesn't think highly of you. Getting used to these will guide you in the wrong direction. Making yourself look bad or the way you carry yourself, when I learned the hard way I had discipline from my grandparents. Especially my grandpa Ely, he was very mean but fun to be around most of the time. He makes me laugh all the time, when I get older he tells me I am going to be a gentleman. So obeyed anything my grandparents asked of me.

Dragons' Den First Semester Week 4: Power Outage

On Thursday evening, I was playing my roommate's Gamecube when suddenly the power shut off. Then I hear Waldo say, "Robert, what did you do?" I laughed. After laughing at the joke I started to walk around the house complaining and already knew that there was a blackout. My experience with this the last time with Josh was funner, but this time the blackout was interesting. The staff Hunter tells me his life stories, I was amazed at what's being herd through my ears. About how he's trapped at the very top of the mountain. Stranded there for 24 hours, it was interesting that this caught my attention. I felt his pain at the most recent day of the blackout. It kind of told me something, what would we do without electricity for weeks; days; years. It came clear to me that as of today I should know what it feels like without electricity. My favorite part of the day was when it became dark at night, it was a full moon. It was a kind of like a nightlight, I think we would not need technology if this light from the sky would give us the ability to see. It was funny because the whole boy's side was camping out, well not really. They brought their blankets out and I didn't join. I decided to use the rest of my battery from my PSP. Are we the one's causing global warnings?

It's 2053, I have wrinkles. I'm a 64 year-old citizen of America, I currently work for NASA. What has became the future, has been done. Cars hovering above my head; Robot's helping the pedestrians, at this very moment a robot is assisting me with my grocery's. It is so heavy! How helpful is this world we now live in!? Is it the greatest, or is it the beginning of a new generation. It's magnificent, beautiful. Better than what we had in my time. It kind of makes me jealous, thinking that technology was everything now could of been helpful before. But they were in the process of it, but here it is now. I am currently at NASA, this extra-terrestrial being is extraordinary. Captured in 1970 when the space mission was a success, we used this being to help us learn many way's to use technology. It's amazing, he's the smartest being I ever spoke to. It's hard keeping up with this guy. But he changed the way we look at life. He's important to us, the highest rank here at NASA. I got off work and opened my car door and flew open. "So high tech!" I thought with absolute amazement, the GPS asked me "where is your next destination Mr.Pascual?" I replied "Home" I drove home using auto drive, which hit about 1200 mph and it's always like riding a roller coaster of some sort. But today, my life is great. I opened my car door, then entered my house using my eye socket in which a laser hit. My house opened, and there I was. Loving life.   

“The Contents of the Dead Man’s Pocket” Minute Paragraph

A time when I had that one minute experience was when I rode this roller coaster called Screamin' Mountain
that shot 108-foot in the air going like maybe 120 miles per hour. I don't know, at 12 or 11. Around that age, I had no idea that my small structure of size would probably be dangerous. But for me I'm a daredevil and got carried away and rode it like 6 times or maybe even more. But then this weird feeling of roller coaster's that has changed the way I think about them. So then Hollywood Hotel was seen after people screaming their lungs out for a 400 foot drop. The feeling made me want to ride it, so I did and then fright of heights. I decided to go on, I cried when we hit the top then the wall slides away.

Dragons' Den First Semester Week 2: Shoes

My favorite brand of shoe's are Nike. I don't know why but Nike's are the best shoe on this planet in my perspective. The brand makes mostly any shoe you can think of, slippers, high tops, low tops, basketball shoes, cleats, headbands, things that would be in sports wise. I think Nike is the best because they are the freshest, cleanest, it's what people would wear whenever they play basketball, I mean that's what I wear. But besides the unique look, the comfort of the sole of the shoe has the greatest support.
