America... Why... What have you done?!? You just put a lunatic in charge of the entire United States of America, in control of the nuclear codes, with the capability to start world war three! Last night (the night of the election), I watched like 15 minutes of the news, and instantly got bored because the words "too close to call" were used at least a hundred times, so I went to sleep. I woke up in the morning, expecting Hillary to have won. I walk downstairs and ask my mom right as she's walking out the door, "Morning. Who won the election?" My mom responded in a disgusted tone, "Donald J. Trump". Well, what's the first thing you do when you here something you don't want to hear right when you wake up in the morning? You first do a retake. "Are you serious?". She responds "Yep", in the same disgusted tone. I still am a little hesitant to believe it. Maybe I'm dreaming I think to myself, so I google it. I'm shocked to find, that it's true. Wow America, I think. Fantastic job (Sarcasm).

These are a couple of knockoff Disney movie plots I've come up with!
The following movies are produced by the Dismey company- Frying Pan (Peter Pan)- A magical frying pan kidnaps children out of their bedroom. He then continues to blackmail the parents of the children until they pay 50,000 pounds to get their children back. The parents pay the money but he doesn't give the children back. Instead he gives them to a gang-lord known as "Hook", who feeds them to alligators. The Huge Merman (The Little Mermaid)- Arnold, a poor man living on land, dreams to become a merman and swim away into the ocean to meet the mermaid he's only seen but never met. His dream comes true when he confronts an old witch who makes a deal with the poor man. She said that if he gives her everything he has, then she can turn him into a merman. He accepts the offer, and swims deep into the ocean looking for the mermaid. He find's her and tells her he loves her. She immediately rejects him because he's just a poor merman, and she's a very wealthy mermaid princess. Arnold could not return to his old life, and refused to eat raw fish. He died the next day. The end. Boiling (Frozen)- A cursed Queen turns the entire world into lava. Annie, the queen's sister, oloof the magic snowman made out of sand, and a mountain man and his donkey all go on an adventure to try and change the world back to normal. This doesn't work out though, since the Queen turned everything in the world into lava, so the group burned to ashes before they could make any progress. What do you learn about the main character, Martin, in the exposition?
Martin is a thin twelve-year-old who is just moved into a new apartment with his father. We also learn that he is very afraid of the elevator, and that it will fall. What internal conflict is plaguing Martin in lines 81-84? Martin's internal conflict is debating whether to take the stairs, or ride the elevator. If he walks up the stairs, he avoids the "fat" lady but has to walk up 17 flights of stairs. If he rides the elevator, he's facing his fears like his father is encouraging him, but he could run into the "fat" lady again! What details in lines 88-105 help to create suspense about what might happen? Martin tries to tell himself that he wont run into her again, but then the door opens. It builds up suspense because it doesn't say "it was the Fat Lady." straight out, it builds and says "revealing a green coat, a piggish face, blue eyes already fixed on him as though she knew he'd be there." In lines 145-160 the story takes an unexpected turn. How might this development affect Martin's conflict? Now Martin is forced to take the elevator because he broke his leg, so it's more likely that he will run into the fat lady again. Also, if the fat lady is a bad person, now she actually has a chance to kidnap Martin because they run at the same speed. If she's a good person, then he broke his leg out of fear of nothing. Judging only by line 175, the climax of the story, is Martin in danger? Explain your opinion. There are many ways to look at the end of the story, that could change Martin's safety position. One theory I have is that the "fat" lady is Martin's dad. I say this because Martin never runs into the "fat" lady when his dad's on the elevator, which gives his dad time to change into the "fat" suit. His dad's doing this to try and get rid of Martin's fear of the elevator. Another thing to support this is when the father say's he wants Martin to do sports, which means it's likely his dad is/was athletic. 1.) Caring- If the president doesn't display kindness and concern for others, they shouldn't be president. The president basically runs the country, so they should care about the people in the United States, and the rest of the world. This means respecting other countries and their people, and supporting them in difficult times. This means improving our school systems, getting every child an education, and creating thousands of jobs for future generations. The president has to care.
2.) Hardworking- Being president isn’t an easy job. They have to work hard to achieve the things that they promised. In tough times, they have to be able to bounce back. They have to work for their country, and for their own family. 3.) Honest- The president has to be honest. I understand some things have to be kept secret, such as nuclear codes, but people want to know when something is wrong. If a terrorist attack is happening, the president shouldn’t delay before they broadcast to tell everyone to stay calm. Also, they can’t say something their going to do, and not do it. If I had a million dollars, the first thing I would do obviously is jump up and down and run down the street yelling I'm rich! The first thing I would buy though, is a money printer. This would be awesome because then I could have as much money as I wanted! I would try to do it legally but I may have to resort to producing money illegally.
Now your probably wondering where I'm going to put this money printer, which leads into the next thing I would do. I would build a huge underground safe made almost entirely out of kryptonite. To obtain the kryptonite I would simply buy NASA and send a ship into space, travel through a black hole to go back in time to before krypton (Superman's planet) was destroyed, steal all the kryptonite, and possibly blow their planet up if they try and follow us back to earth. Then my team of scientists will start production on my safe/man cave thing. Then not even Superman would be able to stop me! Finally, I would hire scientists to make me invincible, super strong, and be able to fly. Then I could become a superhero, called Superguy, and get paid by the world for beating up bad guys. In conclusion, I would have an infinite amount of money, in a safe that no one can break into, and be the most powerful strong and awesome guy in the world. Pretty unrealistic- I know, but pretty sweet. 1. I think the "Aha Moment" of Raymond's Run, was when she figured out her brother would be good at running. I think this, because even though Squeaker didn't directly say "Aha!", she figured out that he actually is a pretty good runner. This could also be called an inference because her brother doesn't directly show he's a fast runner, she figured it out with educated guesses.
2. Exposition- The story introduces squeaky and her brother, and tells us she's a very fast runner, and her brother has a mental disability Rising Action- Squeaky and her brother run into Gretchen and three other girls, who debate who will win the May Day race. Squeaky goes to the starting line of the race, and puts her brother on a nearby swing. Climax- The gun fires to start the race. Squeaky is close to Gretchen, but ahead. Her brother is running beside her on the side. Squeaky comes in first! Falling Action- Squeaky and Gretchen acknowledge each other and how well they did. Resolution- Squeaky realizes her brother would a make a good runner. 3. a.) How do you know if something is worth effort? Give an example of a time when you worked hard for something. Why was it worth it? - You know if something is worth effort if you think the outcome would be worth it. An example of this is when I wrote a four page paper on why I think I should have a phone, and presented it to my parents. This was definitely worth it because now it's much easier to communicate with my family and friends. b.) Give an example of an Aha Moment you recently had. (Think of the "lightbulb" going off right above your head) How did this change your situation? - I was playing hangman with one of my friends. what I had so far was m i _ r o o r _ a _ i s m . A "lightbulb" went off and I realized that it was microorganism. This changed the situation because I guessed the word before the guy got hung. c.) Think of someone (or yourself) that may have a disability. How has this disability affected how this person is judged (or explain maybe how it doesn't). - My sister was diagnosed with celiac disease last year, which means she can't eat gluten. I can't recall anyone judging her, but some people may judge her and think that they can get celiac disease from her, or she's not as smart as other people. |
