Week 7- Literary Death Match

Okay so this blog is a bracket between battles of historic people. It is set up like a March Madness bracket. I am going to go through each battle and tell who would win for each match. Between Christopher Columbus and Patrick Henry, I would choose Christopher Columbus to win because he wasn’t that nice of a man and he completely controlled the Native Americans. If Edgar Allan Poe and Henry David Thoreau, Poe would definitely win because he knows a lot of tactics because of all the horror stories he wrote. He is the creator of violence. In a battle between Abraham Lincoln and Fredrick Douglas, I think that Douglas would win because he was a slave and so he is a lot stronger than Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln is too good of a person to fight. If Emily Grierson and Montressor were to fight I think that Montressor would win. He was very tricky and sneaky in his story. He was very smart and knew how to kill someone easily. He is also a man and is much stronger than old Emily. In the Final Four, it would be Douglas vs. Columbus, and Poe vs. Montressor. In the first battle I think that Douglas would win because once he is in more modern times than Columbus and Douglas could easily beat him up. In Poe vs. Montressor, Montressor would win because he actually murdered someone and been through it. Poe could write about it but overall I don’t think he was very strong physically. Montressor would win it all because he had murdered someone and has a lot of sneaky tricks up his sleeve and the way he was described he was pretty strong and I think that he could take all of his opponents easily.

Week 6 - What A Fright!

I have had both fun scary and scary scary experiences in my life. The scariest one I have ever had was scary scary though. Over the summer my grandpa passed away. My dad was home for lunch and he suddenly told me that my grandpa (who was battling cancer for the third time) was in an ambulance on the way to the hospital and they didn’t know what had happened. He said he was going to the hospital right then. After he left I couldn’t help but to continue to worry. I talked to my friend Hannah about it but my other best friend/brother was in New York. I wanted to talk to him but I didn’t know if my parents had told him yet. My phone started ringing and I immediately knew that my grandpa had died. My dad told me that one of our friends was almost to our house and would take me to the hospital to be with my family. Right when he said that our friends pulled up and I went to the hospital. That was truly the scariest and worst day of my life.

Week 5- Living In The Past

If I could live in any time period that I could choose it would be the medieval times. I would choose to live there because I love all the castles and clothing that they wore. I would look like a princess every day. The people also had a lot of feasts and I love food so that would be very good. I would look forward to hearing and gossiping about the kings, queens, princes, and princesses. I would have to live without TV, computers, phones, and other electronics but I would be okay I think. I could get my entertainment from the jesters. The only negative part would be that I would be ruled by a king and sometimes they were pretty ruthless. It would be hard to deal with sometimes. Over all I think I would enjoy living in the time of castles, wearing beautiful dresses, and eating a lot of food!

Week 4- Must See TV

My T.V. show would be a reality show. I love reality T.V. My friend Hannah Hess and I have always wanted to have our own show. Everyone would watch it. It would have style, drama, and hot college boys. We would have so much fun. We would go on so many adventures. I would enjoy it more than the viewers. I know that we would also throw a lot of parties, and we would live in like Florida, or California or somewhere else warm. Then we could get all tan and lay out by the pool every day. And all of the money we make from our show will pay for our mansion. It would also be hilarious because we are just so funny and have such embarrassing times. We are the two best friends that anyone could have!

Week 3: My Animal

If I had to pick an animal that I am most similar to it would be a penguin. A penguin is very kind. However they can get very angry at things. They are also very close with each other. This is like me, because I am very close to my family and friends. I am also quiet and shy when I am around people at first. Then I become more outgoing. Penguins also like to slip and slide around and have a good time. I also like to do that! I don’t really resemble penguins but I think that my personality matches them pretty well. Penguins are also my favorite animals so I really enjoy them!

Week 2- The Rules of Facebook

One rule about Facebook that people should know is that you should keep your privacy settings the most private as you can. There are some major creepers on Facebook and they just search people’s names and look at all your pictures, status, and wall posts. Also another rule would be to keep your statuses normal. Don’t complain about your poor life and how you hate everything because no one will want to be your friend! Seriously it’s just plain annoying! You should also keep your statuses to a maximum of 3 a day. No one wants to see your statuses every 5 seconds all day long. Hiding on Facebook is another good thing. For example, if you have a crazy weird aunt that you feel like you need to be friends with since your family, but she has some wacky statuses and posts about 20 a day. Then all you have to do is click on her name and hide her. You will still be friends you just want see her stuff unless you go to her page! Those are the best unwritten rules of Facebook that I can think of right now.

Week 1- A Special Meeting

If I could meet anyone dead or alive I think it would have to be Lucille Ball! She is one of the greatest female comedians of all time! I absolutely love her shows! Her and her crazy adventures definitely make me laugh! I love her show I Love Lucy..that’s probably my favorite. She always gets herself into trouble. I like that the show is also in black and white. I like the feel of her era. During her time period she was probably one of the most famous women celebrities! To this day she still is definitely remembered. I wish I could talk to her.  I would want to know so much more about her life and what she accomplished! If I had to ask her a few questions they would be….

1.)    Why did you decide to start acting?

2.)    Who was your favorite celebrity to work with?

3.)    Were you surprised how famous your show became?

4.)    What was your favorite episode of I Love Lucy?

5.)    Were you always that outgoing and crazy?

6.)    What do you think was your most successful thing you ever accomplished?
