My hero is my grandma because even though she has gone through many trials since she was about seven. It all started during the holocaust. Her mother wanted to protect her, so she was given to her neighbors, but they were to scared to harbor a Jew in their home. They ended up leaving her in the middle of the woods. Miraculously a group of Nuns found her and took care of her before they found out that she was Christian. Before the Nuns found out she was rescued by her mother from the hospital the Nuns were at and they had to jump out of the building because o the fear that they would be captured. Then she found out the terrible news that her father had been shot and killed by a Nazi. After the war her mother remarried to a man who survived a concentration camp and then they had a kid. Many years later after my grandma was married to my grandfather the two of them moved to America. She was twenty- three and they had to start a completely new life together.

The first gift that I recieved was a pink blanket that my mother gave me when I was born. The blanket I felt kept me safe and warm. Whenever I was nervous or afraid I would cuddle with it. Though the blanket was actually not ment for me. When my mother had gotten the blanket it was originally for one of my friends Tess. The only reason I got it was because my mom forgot to give it to Tess's mom when she was born. Then a few years later we had to get a new one of my blankets because my original one had fallen apart. After hours of searching online we finally found one. The people selling it only wanted 40 dollars so we gave them 40 and after the auction had closed someone bid 537 dollars for the blanket, but we had already won i8i

When I was in fourth grade my best friend at the time Sabrina told me that she had to move. When I asked her where I at least expected her to stay in the US, but no her dad was relocated to the Coke company in Kenya, Nairobi. She told the the second that she found out and we tried to come up with plans like her staying with us and her parents sending the tuition to Woodward from Africa. Then to top it off later on in that same year I found out that my other best friend was moving to Maryland, but she came back this year. I also still get to see Sabrina twice a year so it is not all that bad, but it was quite the eventful year that created the end of my childhood.

Assingment 5

It started with a blue-eyed girl and a journal, but little did she know that this journal would be a one way ticket to the unknown

What came out of this journal turned everything upside down no the ground did not crack nor did volcanos roar

The survivors barley hanging on As the eyes that can fly turn people to stone

This story of destruction will forever be unknown Because this town is not on any maps It might even be a show Assingment 6

One transformation story is Baucis and Philemon. In my opinion their transformation could be considered a reward. The two truly only wanted to be together for eternity. They got to live a long life happily together and when it was their time to go they becomes two trees entertwined together. Their request to die toghether was fufulled and that is why their transformation is more of a reward than a punishment.

Assignment 8

Winter is the best season not only because there are no longer insects trying to harm me, but to me it is like the golden age. Winter is the biggest part of my competition season. It also contains the two biggest cheer completions NCA and Cheersport, so to me winter is really the golden age of cheer. During the summer, we practice for hours on end, in the fall we start having double practices, and spring is when it all ends just to start back one month later. Winter is when we cool down just a little bit because of the competions we end up having less practice which is great. If we win it just adds on to how much I love winter because it means that the next year I have a chance at winning again. To me a competition is like a holiday because I get to see my friends and coaches that I have not seen for a while. Winter is perfect, great, and serine what more could I want in the season that is not green. Assignment 9

The Man the Myth- Maker has taught me alot about human nature. The stories no matter where they were from followed the same pattern in each of the different units whether it was creation, end of childhood, the flood, or metamorphisis. People fight about how their religion is better and we all say we are so different, but if you go back and read creation stories everyone came from the same place. The only differences are what we believe to be true and the color of our skin. Two people might be trying to complete the same goal, but one of them might be seen as a terrible person while the other one is being praised when in the end the two both were staking the same idea. Perception is what changes all of these stories and it is what changes the human race and what separates us.

Out of all of the stories I came up with the idea that no matter where the story originated each one from all of the units had certain things that never changed the only thing that changes is the perception of how things changed and whether they were good or terrible. Thsee stories truly made me realize that we the human race are no different we all need the same things and want to reach certain goals, but we let certain ideas cloud our better judgement and that is were the fork in the road between peace and voilence will stand.
