Political Article

    In" GOP Struggles to Govern Despite a Monopoly in Washington " the author discusses how the republicans say that democratic's Barack Obama eight years were bad for the community. While they are have trouble for them to say "yes" for Donald Trumps next years. Although with the GOP monopoly the are having a hard time of finding a way to govern. While having trouble the GOP is having trouble keeping their promise to undo Obama Care.
    In my opinion the GOP has good view points but, go the wrong way bout approaching something. Obama Care is not harming anyone if not helping. their focusing on the wrong things at the time. They need to focus on more economics and helping people find more jobs. I say this because unemployment rate is steady rising. I choose this article to speak my opinion on this crucial situation. Also this is something I find very interesting.

What Have I Learned

      I have learned a lot about myself as student. Things like I am a hard working, determined student. Although I am a procrastinator. When I get home work I wait until the last minute to do it but end up finishing it. Next quarter goals are to not procrastinate at moments notice. Also I have learned that I can no longer listen to things and understand what you are saying in the classroom. I am a visual learner and learn best that way.
       This last thing that I have had trouble with is time management. I am constantly distracted by other things that I shouldn't be and it takes time from me doing work. This semester I have to ave time management while not getting distracted . If i can fix these problems I have I can be more successful in the fourth quarter.

My Thoughts

       My mind is on two things. The number one on thing on my mind list is my ankle healing. If you don't know I hate this scooter and it is not fun. This thing actually hates me back though. Every time I hit a bump or a rock I take a chance in falling. So I just would like to start walking and play basketball again. Honestly my life without sports since I broke my ankle sucks and is the most boring time of my life. Instead of going home after practice and tired all the time, I have time on my hands and don't know what to do with it.
       The other thing is AAU basketball. For those of you who don"t know what AAU is, it is an organization of teams that play when basketball season is over with. At the moment I am having trouble finding a team to travel and play with. AAU is like the most elite teams that compete and is usually a fun experience. Although if I don't find a team soon I'm not playing, so I'm worried.

My Mardi Gras Break

      My Mardi Gras Break was the worst on but the best one at the same time. I say it was bad but I was basically bed written and couldn't go to New Orleans like I usually do. Instead I went to New Roads on Mardi Gras and sat down the whole time. Also when I was at home I was just doing make up work which was not fun. I say it was good because for a change I actually got sleep and watched TV.
      The funnest part is when I went to the two basketball games and saw my teammates take the "W" on Monday and Thursday. Therefore we get to got Lake Charles tomorrow. This make me glad because Episcopal has the chance to win the state championship if we beat Dunham or when we beat Dunham. So although I couldn't walk I made the best of my break. Also I never binge watched so many shows at a time.

Analyzing Song

"Umbrella" by Rihanna feat. Jay-Z - Lyrics 

       The song "Umbrella" has a rhyme scheme of ABAB and it makes the song catchier. When using the rhyme scheme ABAB it is common for wrappers or singers to make the song flow betters and sound better. In this particular song there are internal rhymes and end rhymes. The purpose of this song was for entertainment purposes but also gets deep. When the song comes to an end it becomes a free verse.

       Also in the song they use a lot of repetition to get their point across. Also lots of imagery because it makes you think a person is standing in the rain. Although there is a person that you love with an umbrella and then they invite you under the umbrella. You can interpret this as that I can trust you to protect me from any harm or danger. So the other purpose of this song was to express the felling of love.
