Assignment # 1 My Hero Heroes according to Joseph Campbell are people who give their life to something bigger than themselves. In today's world I don't think nobody has ever been more of a hero than this woman. Rosa Parks was a African American woman who had just gotten off of a long day of work. As Parks was sitting on a bus a white passenger came up to her and told her to get up. Parks refused. Since Parks refused to get up no out of the seat the police were called and Parks was arrested. This event caused so much outbreak that the town had no choice but to take away the law that blacks had to give up their seats to whites. Rosa Parks not only got the law to be lifted, but she also recieved many awards during her lifetime including the NAACP's highest award. Rosa Parks showed us that you don't have to be someone famous to be a hero. Take a stand for what you beleive in, even if it cost you in a way. She showed us what it's like to be a real hero. Unfortunately Rosa Parks died in Detroit at the age of 92.

Assignment #2 Perfect World My perfect world would be on a secluded beach where no one can enter except for my friends and family. Each day the temperature would be perfect, no rain to go and ruin your day. Our house would almost be like a treehouse on the outside, but the inside would be magnificent. Our backyard would be filled with beautiful jungles and greenery that could make anyone want to stay outside all day. Anything you wanted could just pop up out of nowhere. Everyday my friends and I could chose to go out and do a new activity everyday on the beach. Some fun things would include tubing, fishing, tanning, playing soccer, ect. In conclusion my perfect world would be surrounded with things no people I love

Assignment #3 God Teacher Just like the god teachers have given two sided gifts, i have received a two sided gift within the last year or so. That gift was my iPhone 6. My iPhone is great because of how I use it for communication with my friends and family. It also makes life a lot easier, because how much faster everything is now. People don't have to send letters, they can just send emails. If people want to take a picture they can just carry around their phone instead of a large camera. It just makes everything faster, and less to carry around. Although my iPhone is great there are some disadvantages. Since the iPhone makes everything faster I find myself on my phone a lot. Sometimes it takes away from time with your family or maybe time to go outside. Even though my iPhone was a two sided gift, I use my time wisely so I can communicate with my friends and have time to have fun with my family.

Assignment #4 End of Childhood A recent change or loss of innocence in my life was last year when I changed from 7th grade to 8th grade. More responsibility has been put on me. Not only is school harder, but at home my dad has expected me to step up to the plate. This year my studies count more and I have started thinking about high school. With high school also comes sports and new possibilities like making a varsity team or joining new clubs. At home, since my mother passed away last year, more work is put on me. I have to help clean up and also have to be more responsible. This has all forced me to be more independent and productive with my life.

Assignment #5 Maddy- End of the world End of the world

I opened my eyes to a sad new world

One that was destroyed and very much swirled

The water was brown, no blue in sight

I tried not to cry with every might

I was the only one left

No more liars or thefts

The green in the world had suddenly disappeared

Without it i was in trembling fear

As I was trying to figure out why and when

I realized that this was the day the world ends

Assignment #6 Maddy-changes A metamorphosis is a big transformation or change in somebodys life. I feel that the story Bauis and Philemon illistrates the best form of change or metamorphosis. Without knowing Bauis and Philemon are the only two couples kind enough to feed and shelter Zeus and Hermes. As a result for letting them stay the two gods fist let them live, but also give them a huge temple and a granted wish. Although this may seem as an honor, the couple was fine and would much rather live in there cozy home. The gods felt that they were giving a reward while the old couple received a punishment. Assignment#7Maddy-changes In our world there have been so many new changes throughout the history of time. One of he biggest changes that has impacted our world the most would have to be technology. Today almost everything revolves around technology. Everyday in school we use it with our iPads, or when we make a call to our friend. However there once was a time when people didn't use it. There were no televisions or phones for anybody to play on or watch. I feel that technology has its ups and downs in different ways. For example it definatly helps us at school and makes communicating with anybody much easier than back when there were no emails or texts, but people don't realize how lazy technology makes you. For students it helps you think less and can make you less intrested in what you are learning. For just an average person it can keep you in your house all day. Although technology can help the world grow in new ways, the world needs to be aware of what the bad things technology can do to people.

Assignment#8maddy- My favorite season has to be fall. The weather is perfect, not to hot not to cold. The leaves on the trees begin to change into beautiful reds and golden yellows. The air is nice and brisk, which allows you to go inside and have a nice cup of hot chocolate. It even smells nice outside. Although there is school, it's a time of new beggining, and you get to see all your friends again. All of this makes fall seam as a season of change. Fall is a transformation from the life to death. From the golden age to the Iron Age. As for fall it is my favorite season, but like other seasons it has it's pros and cons.
