The U.S.A had this theory that if one country fell into communist, we would all fall into communist. we were afraid that communist would spread all around the world.
The Berlin Wall was built in 1961 to divide East and West Berlin. Soviet leader, Joseph Stalin tried to force Allies out of Berlin by blocking all roads and railways into the cit. Continue reading
“Squeak, squeak, squeak” a strange noise came from underneath my bed. “THUMP” a hard bang was heard from downstairs. Pitch black, my room was darker then the night sky. Frightened, I tried to go back to sleep, wanting the morning sun rise to come soon. Curious, look at my alarm clock next to my bed, 12:47. Annoyed, I toss and turned, fluffed my pillow, and put on a thicker blanker.
Tired, my eyes just wouldn’t stay shut -12:50! As I get up, something brushed against my ankle, I jumped and ran to the light. I noticed it was just my fuzzy bing-bang that made my heart rate rise! I opened, my curtains to let the full moon light shine down through my Continue reading
After 29 weeks of waking up at six a.m. and heading to school, the day finally arrived! May 16th was the day my 6th grade classmates and I left for an adventure! We had to meet at school at six a.m. sharp! It was a two hour drive and, to be honest, I didn’t care who I was driving with. An hour and 40 minutes had passed and we saw a big boat. As we got closer the boat got bigger. I knew then that this was going to be an unforgettable experience!

Nowadays, shorts-shorts are just regular shorts to us teens, right? We say it’s “the fashion”, “it’s popular”, “everyone is doing it” etc. Well, a father of four daughters and three sons, in Utah County decided to do the same! He and his family always have a family night every Monday; however this family night was like no other! When his teenage daughter, Myley, decided to dress a bit “slutty” he says. Mrs. Mackintosh asked her daughter to change into something more appropriate and Myley, without hesitating answered with a NO! Instead of yelling at her, or lecturing her on being disrespectful and inappropriate, Mr. Mackintosh decided to be “in the fashion”. He got a pair of his old pants Continue reading
Dear Ms. Christensen,
I’m really looking forward to this year, because it’s my last year of middle school at O.T.A.! I want to make this year my BEST year ever, I want to make it memorable! How am I going to do that? Well simple, I’m going to interact with my classmates and include them in everything. I’m taking a pledge to STOP gossiping, because I know how much it hurts and plus you don’t learn anything from it ESPECIALLY since its all just rumors.
Apart from being a “social butterfly” I want to get good grade and work really hard to finish my work on time! I LOVE math, it’s easy for me. My brain somehow calculates everything in seconds! Language Arts… its fun, I struggle a bit on reading, like pronouncing words, or even reading out loud. I also don’t understand some words or have a bid vocabulary, but I’m working on it. Science is my 3rd favorite subject, I’m fascinated with Health Science -but I don’t want to be a doctor, too much blood- its fun to see how my body works. I love to watch Dr. Oz or The Doctors because they give you health tips. Continue reading
‘Twas bedazzled , and the juicy beast
Did huff and puff in the Fashion Vally mall;
All shoes were the claim,
And the fat beast went cray.
“Beware the stiletto, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch
Beware the crocs bird, and shun
The short Shorts!” Continue reading
I was inspired by, Improvisation 31 by Vassily Kandinsky. He painted Improvisation in 1931. It is know as the Sea Battle. I used tissue paper to make the bombing in the Boston marathon.
In 1948, Andrew Wyeth painted Christina’s World and was one of the best known American paintings. I was inspired by his painting to draw my own, Leonardo’s World. He’s my baby brother and i know that his world is just play, play, and more playing!
Guernica by Pablo Picaso, inspired me to crate a bid poster on what can and does happen when you bully others. It can happen to anyone! But this poster is mainly about girl to girl bullying, girls bully other girls because they’re not as skinny, or “pretty” as the popular. Self-harm is the most scariest, most dangerous thing that can happen, some can lead to suicide. Please lets all help stop bullying, if you see someone being bullied tell your teacher.
Because she could not stop
Gossipping
He viciously stopped for her
He turned around
And stomped his foot
Giving her what she
Gave other
Calling her names
Laughing in her face
Exposing her inerself
But it’s too late for that
She’s done that
Herself
Now she’s facing
The consequences
