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.

Poem

The fast ferocious waves hit the beach
while the beach was covered in heat
The little children were running around like mice
A popsicle would have been nice
While trying to keep cool
The beach was like a public pool
The sizzling on the sun burnt
While the plop of the water cooled burns
With people that were hungry were in a line
A line to get food that extended to about the moon

Vocabulary

One word that I have mastered over the weeks of doing vocabulary.com is annihilate. Which means to kill in large numbers. I knew what the word meant basically. I just didn't know that it had to be many people for you to annihilate, not just one person. Also I had no idea that you spell annihilate that way. The next word is pummel. Most people know the definition of pummel which means to strike usually with a fist.

       Although most people pronounce and spell it wrong. The would spell it as if you were saying pumble and thats how people would spell it. The next word I learned is equestrian. Equestrian is of or related to horseback riding. I would get this word confused because it sounds like it is water related or a sea animal. 

Research

When learning how to write a good research paper I have found out that a good research paper is not descriptive. A good research is an argument. Not a weak argument, it is usually with much evidence and thing to back up your argument.  Most likely when you do a descriptive it will be boring but when you have an argument the readers will disagree or agree. This will keep your reader steady thinking about your view of the argument.
       One thing i am having trouble on and would like to fix is embedding my quotes. I feel it is difficult for me to embed quotes when it is in the middle or the end of a sentence. The question about it is where do you put the author when the quote is not at the end of the sentence. Although once I have that covered my Paper will be flawless.

Reading Response

       The part time Indian was very unfortunate because of the situations he would be in. Although sometimes he put himself in those situations. In most of the chapters it is about how hated he is by many people. He does not have any friends and has to go to his grandmother for advice. Also I know he felt  some type of way when Penelope said "Do I even know you?" Thats pretty sad the girl you like does not even know your name.
       I honestly do not see why anyone does not feel sorry for him. He has no self-esteem and feel like he does not belong in the world. He is a big laughing stock of his school. While people make racists jokes he takes it. He should try to take up for hisself and make himself known.  Other kids are bullies and i know you want a better education but I think you should stay on the reservation.
