Pharoh In Egypt

The Pharaoh of Ancient Egypt
My day consists of many hard working jobs and chores without me it would be “k-oss”. I look after many things like the temple, help other Egyptians connect to god, look after my wife’s and collect money.
I would at the temple with four other priests. We go four three months at a time. During this time there are many things to look after and worship so I am never idle. The first of my day consists of preparing the temple for the rituals. Sometimes that rituals last from dawn till dust others are not as long. Many people will gather in the temple to do their rituals. Everyone follows along as we do the rituals for the best. If some day I have a short ritual I get to spend time to admire the different art and carvings. I have to make sure that at all times the temple is well taken care of and spotless.  On my months off I could be civil servant for a noble.  Servant for a noble is basically to serve and do what they want you to do. Sometimes it will be to deliver a letter or some other thing they trade like wheat 
My daily life is very important and has a big part on my importance. I have five kids that are very busy. I keep my kids educated and make sure they have all the education they have. Without education they can’t be a priest like me or anything high in the social structure. I have five wives they are all very important to me and I don’t know where I would be without them. But my first one is the one spend the most time with. Most night I go to her house where I eat and take a bath and apply my garments. Also we discuss education on literature, mathematics, ethics and history.

“Float like a Cadillac sting like a Beemer”


“Float like a Cadillac sting like a Beemer”. From the movie cars this is Lightning McQueen. I am a red race car that has the number 95 on the side.  My fans cheer me on because I am fastest and most reliable race car on the track. In this essay I am going to talk explain the one character I would switch places with and why.
One reason it would be neat to be lightning McQueen is that you always are mobile.  Whenever you needed to go somewhere or move from one place to another it would be easier to reach your destination.  Also it would be way easier in the since that you would have nothing to pack up and it is faster to move from one place to another.
Being Lightning McQueen It make me the most popular race car driver. Which would mean you would constantly have people cheering me on and have people worshiping me. If some day I was having a bad day it would help with my confidence and make me feel better. Being the most popular race car driver and having tones of fans would make it easy to have security at all time and never have to worry about being ambushed by fans.
Third reason that I want to be lightning McQueen is that I would get what I want. Since I am the number one race car driver it would be easy to get anything I want. For example if I wanted something to drink I would just say it loud and someone would bring it to me.  Being able to get anything I want when I want I would never have to worry about anything.
These three reasons are the most important reasons to be lightning McQueen to me . My number one ketch fraise is “Float like a Cadillac sting like a Beemer”. This explains me I am smooth on the road but I am your worst enemy.

Way Back When

Five things to include.
1. Pictures of houses and stores- This should be included in the time casual for many reasons. They should have a couple pictures of houses to show people the difference in our houses and theirs. Also have many pictures of popular stores and other important buildings in Blackville. These should be included because they should see how the world changed and also how our stores and buildings look toward theirs.
2. Pictures of a moose and wild life. These pictures should also be included in the time capsule. These should be included in the time capsule because a hundred years from now some wild life my not exists.
3. List of jobs- List of active jobs should be included in the time capsule because every day jobs are closing and few are opening. A hundred years from now they may have totally different ways of making a living.   
4. A computer- This should be included in the time capsule because a hundred years from now mostly likely everything is going to be touch screen. Also there technology will be way more advance compared to our technology.
5. A CD of today’s popular music- This should also be included because music changes every day. Also they can hear what kind of music we listened to a hundred years ago. The people may find it interesting to find the difference in the music quality and type.
Dear: Future  
Every day things are changing so it would surprise me if use ever wrote a letter. These years in 2012 letter are almost thing of the past. I am currently 16 and live with my two parents and my sister.
I am currently in school runs from k-12 each grade has about 30kids. The school day week runs through Monday through Friday.  On our spare time we attend many parties and socialize with our friends.  Here in Blackville we only have a couple small canteens and value foods.  To travel we use gas cars we do have some but very few electric cars.
For technology we have computers, cell phones, and tablets. We also have e readers which are replacing our paper books every day. For technology in our class rooms we have computers and smart board we still have chalk board but are hardly every used.
A hundred years ago every day things are changing to be made easier.  So I would imagine a hundred years from when I wrote this things would have changed a lot from technology to transportation.

Day In The Life

                                                                                               Wednesday, February 18, 1922  
        
           This morning, my mom yelled at me, like every other morning, to rise and get ready for school. With a big yawn, I sat up in bed and pried my eyes open, all while pulling my trousers up around my waist. I scampered downstairs, and inhaled the heavenly scent of freshly made bacon, looking to the stove to see that in fact, there was a pan full of sizzling and popping bacon. Breakfast was simply delicious, as usual, with Mummy being such a good cook…
           I quickly reached for my black slate and a fresh piece of chalk, and ran outside to be welcomed into a crisp, cool, February morning, with no clouds in sight. I waved good bye to my parents and three younger siblings who were not yet old enough to go to school. As I was 16, and the oldest, my brother, Michael, who was 12, and my sister, Jane, who was seven, made our way to school. The twins were still only three, and my sister Martha was going to start school this falls. On our way to school we meet up with most of our classmates. After reaching the school house, we all chip in and grab some wood and place it beside the small cast-iron fireplace to keep the room warm all day.  When finally reached the long wooden benches the teacher was at the front of the room giving instructions for each grade starting at grade 1 all the way up to 12.    
           The first subject we started with was mathematics In grade ten we were learning about volume and surface area of triangles. Aftermath we had a half a hour break where we would have a quick snack and play a quick game of arm wrestle. After break we went back to the small crowded school room where we would learn about history of different places. After history we had a hour lunch where we had a lunch and we played many games outside like manhunt and tag.  Once we had a full hour of fun we returned to the class room where we had English and learned about different types of writing.
           By the time English was over it was three o’clock and it was time to return back home.  On the way home my friends and I all got together and socialize. As we reached each person’s house we drop them off and then keep on the journey home.
           After returning home my brothers and I went over to the barn and help my father with the chores. The chores consisted of cleaning the horse stalls and also collecting the eggs. Once the chores were completed and all the work in the barn was completed we would all return back to the house where we would enjoy a meal my mother had prepared for the whole family for supper. After supper the whole family got together and talked about our day. When it came that time to go to bed we all washed up and got on our pajamas and listen to a couple of story my mother and father told. Then the whole family headed off to bed.

Five Worst Places To Work

    Five Worst Places To Work
Throughout the world fast food restaurants are found. They may be a convenient and cheap way to have a meal fast. At the same time fast food restraints are not the best place to work. I am going to explain the worst fast food restaurants you can work at. The order in which they appear depends on how busy and how greasy the restaurants are.
    Number five on my list would be Burger king. I would choose burger king because out of most fast food restraints is not as busy. Compared to most fast food restraints working there wouldn’t be as busy. Also with Burger king you will find if you are working there it wouldn’t be as greasy as other fast food restraints.
    Number four on my list would be A&W. I would pick this to be number four on the worst place to work because it is not as greasy as some fast food joints, but is busier then burger king with their famous A&W root beer. Working at A&W would not be a good place to work because the store is small and you would be constantly trying not to hit or hurt anyone when walking through.
    Number three on my list would be Dixie lee. I would pick this as number on the worst place to work because there are many rumors about their chicken. I would not want to be stuck plucking the feathers out of the chicken. I think it would be a hard place to work because it is constantly busy and the chicken is hard to cook just right without burning the chicken or yourself.
    Number two on my list would be KFC. I would choose KFC as a bad place to work because out of most fast food restraints there have been story told about their chicken. Apparently, their chicken have worms in them. Ick.  If I was working at KFC I would not want to see worms in a place where I have eaten before. Along with the worms KFC have some of the weirdest meals which would more than likely be hard to make perfect.
    Number one on my list would be McDonald’s. I chose McDonald’s as the worst place to work because it is constantly busy.  Being busy can cause accidents with grease that can change your life. McDonald’s also would be very greasy that at the end of the day would leave you with pimples and an ungodly Oder.
    After looking through fast food restraints McDonald’s would be the worst place to work. Due to all the negative aspects of McDonald’s on my list it would be the worst place to work. Personally, if I had to chose a place to work, I would pick Burger King, as it is the best of the worst, compared to working at McDonald’s, which in my opinion is the worst of the worst.

Finding Forester Review

Finding Forester

    The film Finding Forester features the famous actors Sean Connery and Rob Brown.  The film is a drama that will catch your attention the whole movie. The movie is rated 13PG due to language.


    Finding forester is about a boy named Jamal who enjoys basketball and has a hidden talent for writing. He expresses his talent throughout his journal, in which his talent of writing flourishes. Jamal then finds an unusual friend in an unsuspected tutor to share his secret hobby of writing with.


    This film is kind of similar to the movie The Blind Side. Both movie ends up considering a person who is not blood related a member of their family. Both of the unsuspected family members both are lack on social skills and needed someone to help them regain them so they can get back out in the world.


    Finding forester had a very interesting story line throughout the movie. It kept you waiting to see what is going to happen. The movie is well acted out and has an excellent story line. I found there was a lot of stereo typing throughout the movie about the Bronx but I would still recommend this movie due to the excellent story line.


    The writer of the film portrays that you should never judge anything by the way it looks. The author also makes Jamal a very complex character and allows him to show his feelings.
