1.Lady has chronic renal failure,this means her kidneys aren't filtering out the toxins in her blood anymore. First a dialysis, then it will become clear if she may need a transplant or not. The total cost sums up to more than $15,000.

2. Shawn is a caring person who sees his cat as a part of the family. This bond will result in Shawn taking the risks and willing to pay the large amount of money, even though he and his wife don't have the finances to do so.

3. She is a passionate person, who takes her profession seriously. I can tell by her giving Shawn options on what to do.

4. Shawn and Lady share a bond that is like family. He does not seem like a person who is willing to pay for this cost, let alone have deep feelings for his pet as he is described to be very manly. Not to mention he doesn't really have the money to spend on her treatment.

Pet Importance

Pets are not a very high priority on my list of what's important in life. I love my dog "Duke", but I don't look at him like he's a baby, he's not, he's a BEAST. I do care a bout him, but just not as much as I would care for a person. And the same would probably go for any animal unless it were dying because I wouldn't let anyone or any animal just die without at least trying to save it's life. Life is right that anything deserves to have and I'm not going to be the cause for it not being used to the fullest.

Thesis Statements

#5 In Arthur Miller's classic, "The Crucible," reputations play an important role, during the

whole witchcraft ordeal in Salem, Massachusetts.

This thesis statement is good because it tells us in what situation the theme was important and it is also very simple and straight to the point


#15 In Arthur Miller's widely known play The Crucible, harsh punishment and even death is

given to faultless citizens who are accused of being involved with witchcraft.

This thesis is excellent in my opinion. It explains the who, what, and where of the idea. It also uses better, more attractive vocabulary


In The Crucible, Abigail Williams is one of the main characters in which goes to extreme lengths to protect her name.

I like this quote because it focuses in on a more direct thought.

#6

The first day of school led to the last day of three kids lives. Yaquiline, the (lothario), Yessica, the (maverick), and Yanessa, the (liaison) of Yaquiline. On that day, they experienced a (camaraderie) between each other in English class. It started fine, they all sat down in class while Mr. Schreiber introduced himself and the class. They figured out he was a (caste), because he was wearing a red, white, and blue tuxedo. But after seeing that, they realized who was amongst them. . . the infamous “Y Ladies.”
Yaqualine, and Yanessa, hated each other because Yaqualine took a bite of Yanessa’s Spicy Chicken Sandwich, which led to Yanessa calling Yaqualin (tawdry). Yaqualine, or “Yaquie”, stated that as a (philanderer), she slept with Yanessa’s boyfriend. Yanessa’s previous view of as a (convivial) young girl, immediately went away.
One day Yessica came to school and yelled at Yanessa and Yaqualine using (solecism), Yessica couldn’t say anything because she felt (bumptious) because of all those spicy chicken burgers that she ate. Yaqualine didnt really care because she was a (hobnob), she was tired of arguing. So the rivalry between Yanessa and Yaqualine came to an end. Many people say it was a (cabal), because even after the argument, they still were not friends.
But the weird part of the story is, why didn’t Yessica get involved? She has the (baleful) of words that confuses the Y Ladies to death. But recently she found the Y Ladies (bellicose) and unbearable. She could have won this argument and be the number one Y lady and live in (sybarite) for the rest of her life!!

Renegade

I really don't have like any idea or philosophy I would die for right now. I think it's too early to start an idea. I don't even know what I want to do with my life, what kind of job I'd like or even if I would like to go to college. I'm definitely no renegade. In case you don't know what a renegade is, it is a person who deserts and betrays an organization, country, or set of principles. So, people like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Benjamin Franklin.

The Project

The project went really well. We all helped out with the work and parts each of us had. We did goof around sometimes but, I was really pleased with the liveliness that there was in doing the project. We all had a really good time doing the project.I wish that all projects went this well. I wouldn't change anything about the way this project went.

Rumors

One time, this is a big laugh, at least to me, some people thought that I was gay. I was like really shocked, I almost fell over and died. I guess it was because no one has ever seen me "with" a girl, like holding hands or something. But, I just had to tell people that I wasn't and everything went back to normal I guess.

The Crucible

Definately can think of of one. It happened yesterday, my mom was getting ready to wash clothes so she was going through my pants pockets for anything. She came across my wallet which had like a lot of money in it for someone who doesn't work, so she thought I was like selling drugs, or stealing or worse like I was selling my body. It took like two hours of convincing her that it was just money left over from different earns I ran for her like going to the store, so she finally believed me and let me keep the money.

I'm So Late

I haven't started reading the book for our project. I say "our" because its a group project. I got stuck with a bunch of asians and I'm the only mexican in the group, so it's a weird combonation of people, but they're cool and I know our project will come out really good, hopefully. I won't start reading the book "Memoirs of a Geisha" untill Friday because thats when I'll have money to buy the book because we have to buy the book. I hope I'll have enough time to finish reading the book on time.

The Big Final

Today we were given the rubric for our final, which is a huge project. We basically have to read a book that we choose from a list of books, write some essays and explain what the book is about for fourty-five minutes, which is really like an entire class period. This project will be four hundred points so this will basically decide whether your grade lives or dies. This is going to be fun.

The Final Grading Period

Starting Monday, the final grading period will begin and my grades are not doing that well. Starting Monday I will have to step it up and work harder in all my classes, especially english. It's time to change my grades and go on and then enjoy my summer. To do that first and the most important thing I will have to do is do all my homework everyday, this is going to be a bit of a challenge.

Love,

Matt

Together Forever

I was really wondering if in like 10 years will we all still know each other. It would be nice because You people are like a second family to me and I really have come to love each one of you in a different way. All of you have done something for me, like said something or cheered me up or we've just had a good time together and if I had just 1 wish it would be that we stayed friends forever because you guys are the greatest. I remember in the 8th grade I fell in love with a girl I really loved. And I don't care what anyone says, it was real love we had fro each other and we were alwasy together just not as a couple and the last day I just wanted to kiss her and tell her how I felt about her, but I didn't and was right next to her, but I was too nervous, too shy, or maybe I just wasn't a man and I walked away just saying "bye" and I walked to the bus pick up zone. When I had realized what I did, I ran all the way back to where she was only to find she was gone...forever. I promised myself never to do that again and this is why I ask..
Will we always be friends forever?

Love Forever,

Matt

GRADES!!!!! OOPPSS!!!

My grades are the worse I have ever had them. I am trying so hard to raise them up, but I've dug myself in such a big hole I don't know if I cane raise them in time before the next grading period ends. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do that? I'll take anything just about now, but none of you are going to read this blog anyways, so whats the use. I feel so distracted because I'm suppose to move at the end of this month, in case any of you don't know. I'm suppose to move to Salinas, which it like a small town like ten miles away from Monterey and near, Hollister and Watsonville. I'm really out of ideas of how to bring up mygrades, which is really my problem, but I'm really desperate here, so please help me in anyway you see you can, at least advice no matter how harsh it is. I lkie tough love, but please don't tell me to give up or it is too late or I can't do it. I get that enough from my family.

Love,

Matt

GGGGOOOOAAAALLLL!!!!!!!!

Soccer was hella fun today!! I know I never talk about soccer or any sport for that matter that much, unless it's the San Jose Sharks because well to be honest they are going to win the Stanley Cup this year because their awesome. Anyways, I go to the Silver Creek sportsplex almost every Sarurday to go "kick it"(get it "kick it") with some friends from my church and we play for about two hours. It's super fun, but it does get fustrating sometimes when you lose. We rent a small indoor field and we start a kind of tornament, you know winners stay on the field and the loosers get off so the next team can come in. Ok so my team was not doing very hot, but then we come in on our forth game(hoping we would win at least one game), and we won with me scoring the game winning goal. Usually I play goalie, but this game I played offense and during the game winnig play, it got in to me to try to do a "bicycle kick" but instead I did a hand stand and kind of, um, slipped I guess, but somehow, when I was falling my leg kicked the ball in and everyone thought it was a real trick, so I went along with it and said I did do it on purpose. The coolest thing was that the team we were playing were winning every game, but after my "kick" we won the rest of the night, talk about me havin' some "SKITTLES."

Love,

Matt

I really suck @ Chemistry

The title says it all because I really do suck at chemistry. It is so hard to understand, there are so many laws to remember, formulas to apply and so many sections to go through, it kind of reminds me of geometry with all those formulas and theories to remember and apply to different shapes. Is anyone willing to help me out and at least help me to understand the more recent lessons?

Love,

Candy

Roses are red violets are blue, Matthew is sweet and so is CANDY! The sweetness of it. This blog is going to be a little weird so I'll make it as short as possible Good-Bye..... just kiding but really its always been around or at least something sweet, since the beginning of time. It has always been there to cheer people up, and fat, believe me I know but its really good and it sucks for people who can't eat anything sweet, All well more for me.

Animal Farm

So far in this book I really do not understand anything. This book is really weird, I mean the take over took like five minutes to read well it was kinda like Night. It was like bing,bang and everyone was sent to the concentration camps. Anyways this book is awkward. An I actually read the first four chapters but still don't understand it.

Getting Sick Sucks!

I've been sick for the last 2 weeks and it sucks. I got this really bad infection. It was in my throat and in my ears. It hurt so bad,
I did not feel very well, I couldn't hear or talk, it hurt. I stayed home for like a week and it still sucked. I couldn't go anywhere or do anything it was soooo... ghetto. I was so upset that I couldn't do anything and when I got back to school it was like life came back into me even though I still didn't feel very well, I guess I just missed all my friends.

Virus Pt.3

I went to the doctor's office today and well, I'm not dying, I just have a really bad infection in my throat and in my ears. She told me to just stay home the rest of the week because my sickness is contagious and she prescribed some antibiotics to fight the infection and to drick a lot of liquids with vitamin "C" and anti-oxatives or something like that. I miss all of you and hope I see you people Monday and have an awesome weekend.

Love,

Virus Pt.2

I still have this virus and I feel even more like crap. Now I can't even talk and my head feels like its filled with water that moves whenever I move my head. My mom surprisingly is immune to this virus but, she has other body problems to deal with. Tomarrow I will be examined by my doctor and I'll find out how I'm gonna die...just kidding, but hopefully there is nothing seriously wrong with me. Well I love all you people and I miss all of you,take it easy.

Genesis 1:1 “In the Beginning God made the heavens and the Earth”

I heard this story from a friend and I thought it would be cool to share with everyone because there are still doubts in the minds of many people the there is a Creator of the earth. I’m pretty sure that everyone has heard of Isaac Newton, you know  famous scientist, came up with the laws of gravity because one day he was sitting under a tree and an apple hit him on the head and basically came up with the saying “what goes up must come down.” Well anyways he studied all of this because he was curious because he had read the bible, because thats what the bible really is, knowledge. Anyways he read it because he wanted to know what god knew. One day he meets one of his friends and his friend is a believer in evolution and his friend starts talking to him about evolution and Newtons like “what, how can you believe in evolution, look at how complicated our body is, it’s perfect, look at how detailed everything is, how can you not believe that someone created it.” So later that day Newton goes home, and during the night makes a model of the solar system, all the planets, moons, the whole nine yards. The next day he tells his friend to come over, so he does and he sees the model and he’s like “whoa!! This is cool, this looks awesome. Who made it?” and Newton’s like “I don’t know.” and his friend says “Really, who made it?” Newton says “I really don’t know, it just showed up there.” His friends like “Yeah right look at how perfect it is, everything is aligned perfectly, everything is where it should be, who made it?” and finally Newton says “How can you believe that someone made this, something thats so simple, so vague, something so nebulous, but you can’t believe in a greater creator that made this world something so detailed, and our body which is made so perfectly, so precise.”

OMG!! Thank God!!

I didn’t get the other side of my wisdom teeth taken out today. I am so pain free today, it’s such a great feeling you know when your suppose to get hurt,but you didn’t. It’s like when you haven’t eaten anything all day, they you drink something really cold and you can feel your drink slide down your throat into your stomach, it feels so good, so it felt something like that. But you know what, they changed the date of the appointment to friday the 13th in February so I hope they don’t like break my jaw or something that would suck. Peace.

One order of “OUCH!!” please

I got one side of my wisdom teeth taken out today, know I’m only half as smart.

It sucked big time, they didn’t hurt me but I could still kinda feel what they were doing(like when the dentist snapped my tooth in half), because they numbed me. They gave me this horrible injection in the top of my mouth, it tasted disgusting but smelled even worse and after I got home it was starting to hurt. I was on a diet after, very effective. I mean I could hardly eat anything, really only soup and even that hurts eating. My cheek looked as if I had a big piece of hard candy inside my mouth for the next week. Well I.m ready for the next side which they’ll take out on Jan. 28, take it easy!

Odium

There is this person that I always get pissed off at, and sometimes wish was dead. I swear this person never leaves me alone,always yelling at me, can never give me a break. Whenever I think of this person, I get mad, and feel sick. I’m like a prisoner with this person and if I don’t do what “It” tells me to, I’m beat, but not physically( that would be easy to deal with), but mentally. This type of abuse is the worse. It’s the type of abuse that just sits there in your head, makes you feel bad like you did something wrong all the time or your the bad person. Everyday I deal with this pain, these thoughts, but it’s getting to a point that I’ll break, I have to break because there is an imbalance in my spirituality and if I don’t I ‘ll become “Odium”. But one day I’ll break out from this prison I live in and be free, live free, and I’ll run, far away from this person because I want to forget forever and embrace the person I’m suppose to be.
