The Cask of Amontillado Revenge

When people seek revenge they usually try to get someone back because that person did something that hurt their feelings or they did something that the other person didn’t like. Revenge causes people to commit murders, some people that commit murders do it because people that they use to know made fun of them because they did something that they didn’t like or they did something that made them think different about them. Another reason people commit murders are because they were growing up in a bad neighborhood where all people did was join gangs and kill other people, so when they get a little bit older they get introduced into gangs and sooner or later they start murdering innocent people. One last example about who people that tries to seek revenge usually commits murder is that when that person tries to pull a prank or a joke on one of their friend but they don’t know that they can actually kill or seriously hurt their friend so when the prank or joke happens usually someone gets hurt, or dies people don’t know that the person died by an accident. So next time when peopl want to pull a prank, or a joke on their best friend just remember that they need to be careful.

The Interlopers’ Family Feud


The word fued means to fight or argue with one another or fighting with a diffrent group or family. Family Feud is a TV game show which was created by Mark Goodson, and Bill Todman. The Two families were competing against each other in a contest to name the most popular responses to a type question posed to 100 people. The original show was on a local chanel called ABC and the show was hosted by a man named Richard Dawson. The word FUED is in the title because when you put family and feud together you will find out that it means family argument. I think the title of the show is called family feud because basicaly the show is two families that are arguing on a game show so their whole family can win a prize.  So when you are about to get in an argument with someone about something little you dont have to because it’s not like you are going to win a prize.

Chilean Miners Rescue


The thirty-three miners that were trapped in a Chilean mine were rescued after having to stay under ground for two months. It was not till the night of October 13, 2010 when the last of the thirty-three miners was rescued and sent to the hospital the next day. If I hade one word to describe this situation I would chose the word devastating. One thing that happened in the mine was that they were able to use a small device to communicate with people above the ground, including their religious leaders. I think that it was good that they got to communicate with the people above ground because they were able to tell their family that they were okay, and not to worry because they will get out safely. Another thing that happed was when they were rescued they were forced to wear sunglasses because they were in the dark for so long that their eyes got use to it. If I were them I would feel bad because have to wear these sun glasses for a long time because of my eyes got adjusted to the darkness in the mine.  If I were one of the miners I would be so glade and thankful because I get to go back to my family and not have to worry if people are going to rescue us or not.

Autobiographical Narrative Reflection

When it comes to writing narritives I can be very good at it but at some points I can have a little trouble. Three things Ican do better on the next paper we write is when writing paragrphs I have to make sure that I dont put a lot of details because it will make the paragraph sound confusing. The second thing I can work on to improve is giving specific details on the characters and settings so other people that are reading the story can imagine what the person looks like or have a good imagination on what the setting looks like. The third and final thing i can work on or try to improve is when trying to write a narritive I have to make sure that I go back and double check my spelling because I went back to see my narritive and noticed that a lot of people told me that I hade made a lot of spelling errors so that I think will make my narritive better.

The Most Shocking Time

Boom! Boom! Boom! The sounds of three gun shots came roaring into my cousin’s house interrupting the movie, my cousin’s friends and I were watching. I was at my cousin’s house because she wanted me to come over and watch a movie with her friends. At first we thought that the sounds came from kids playing around with fire works, or popping brown paper bags. We were in the house watching a movie when we hear arguing, we ran towards the door to see what was happening when my cousin yelled GET IN THE HOUSE! We did as told, but instead of watching the guys argue from the doorway we went inside so we can watch them argue while sitting on our brown couch that was right by the window. While my cousin’s friend and I were watching the two guys argue I started to think what will happen next, is someone going to get hurt, or is someone going to try and break up the argument before something bad happens. Till this day I still remember what everybody was wearing. On that day I was wearing a white shirt, black shorts, whit socks, and black and white Nike shoes. One of the guys that were arguing was wearing a brown shirt, jean shorts, and white shoes. The other guy that was arguing was wearing a blue shirt, black pants and white shoes. While watching the two guys argument I asked my cousins friends if they know who those people are they told me that the two guys are from rival gangs and one of them are in the wrong neighborhood. After they said that they were in rival gangs I knew that someone is going to get hurt. After about five minutes of watching the two guys argue I thought that since nothing is happening that it is okay to turn around and finish watching our movie. After I turned around, and got up to push play on the DVD player I heard three loud gun shots and I quickly through myself to the ground as fast as I could because I didn’t know if they were shooting at our house or if some out side got shot. After about two seconds everybody in the house got up off the ground and darted towards the door, as soon as we reached the door the sounds of screeching tires followed by the screaming voices of bystanders.

While watching the shooter get in his gray Nissan I noticed that there were people running away, some people were just standing there in shock and didn’t know what to do, and a lot of people were circled around the guy that got shot. When I saw that people were forming a circle around the shot guy on the ground I ran over to where the guy was laying to see if he was dead of if he was bleeding really bad. As soon as I reached where everybody was I looked at the guy and I noticed that there was a big puddle of blood that was coming from two holes, and one hole in his arm. After looking at the blood I realized that he was dying because when I looked at his eyes they were rolling back so you could only see the whites of his eyes, he was also coughing up blood while he was trying to ask people to help him and he was also crying because of the pain.

While people were watching the guy the guy die someone in the crowd yelled out “SOME ONE GO CALL THE COPS INSTEADE OF JUST STANDING HERE”! When I heard that I ran inside the house so I could call 911, when I called the police I told them that someone got shot and is dying they told me to give them my address and to keep pressure on the wounds. It took ten minutes for the police to get to my house. When the police got to my house people were telling them the description of the shooter, and the car that he was driving. After they got the description they called the paramedics so they can pick up the guy that was shot. When they asked who called the police I told them that I called them and they said that they are glade that I called as soon as possible because now that they got a description on the shooter, and the license plat number of the car that he has now they can go and try and find him so nobody else that argues with him gets hurt. So ten minutes later all the cops were gone, and the streets of long beach California were quiet and dead again I said to myself whenever I argue with someone be careful who you argue with because you never know what will happen and since that very day I watch out for the people who I argue with.

One Flashback

One flashback that I had was when I was on summer vacation and was visiting my cousin who lives in Long Beach. when I was ten years old me and my cousin were riding our bikes around our neighborhood when we both got tired we stopped at a park called Silverado park. We were walking around the park to see if we knew anybody that we know after ten minutes of walking around we stopped at a nearby picnic table so we can rest. When we were resting I remembered a time when I was eight years old and my cousin was seven and we were both riding around the neighborhood like he was my best friend. after the memory was done I said “hey do you remember two years ago when we were riding our bike around this same neighborhood like we were best friends” and he said “ oh yeah I remember that time we did everything together”. After we were done resting we both got on our bikes and rode back to his house. That was one flashback that happened to me.
