Author's Note: Pet peeves, published, perhaps perceive my piece.
Pet
peeves should be defined as, when you tell someone your pet peeve and
they purposely continue to do your pet peeve on purpose. Being in that
situation is the number one pet peeve of mine, I honestly don’t have
faith in anything more obnoxious. I’ve been in this situation many
times for example, I told my dad that I just couldn’t stand the sound of
a knife scratching across a plate and then he pretends it’s his mission
to try to just bug me with that sound every time we eat anything that
needs assistance of a knife to be edible. I’m not an over-exaggerating
person, in fact if you’re someone who over-exaggerates too much you bug
me, anyways I could not stress how long my list is of pet peeves I could
write a novel, not even joking about the littlest things in life that
just disturb me in too many ways to name. If I were to be dangled above
lava, either having to choose a number two pet peeve or be dropped into
the lava (because that’s the only perhaps moment I would actually be
able to choose a number two pet peeve) I’d have to say my number two pet
peeve is when either, I can’t make up my mind, well, either. The
explanation to as why I continue to be stuck writing this is because,
yesterday in Forensics we did this as a quick fire-drill and some people
had a lot of good ideas. Alright, I’m getting off track. Number one,
when people bait you, that might be my number one, I could care less,
I’m not asking why. Number two, improper grammar, it’s not more fast or
more slow, it’s faster, slower. Don’t even get me started on a apple,
it’s an apple. This, is quite a long short story, keep in mind if you
want me to enjoy speaking to you don’t purposely imply my pet peeve,
don’t bait me, and especially don’t use improper grammar.

Why is Everyone Hungry for the Games?
Author's Note: The Hunger Games, it simply keeps you turning pages, there was no competition or thought needed, I knew this was the book I wanted to write my District Writing Assessment upon.
Our future’s vision in the eyes of a majority of our generation embodies, stats reading a gain in population. The president won’t see any necessity to discover a path, including depression to families, to kill twenty-four tributes yearly. In particular not controlling everyone to watch in reminder of their, the Capitol’s, power. Like I said, in the eyes of a majority of our generation, which means Suzanne Collins’s eyes aren’t counted. Suzanne Collins’s book, The Hunger Games in my brain meant the future was to be the exact opposite, in the author’s imagination. Suzanne Collins has a foreign illusion toward writing a novel, which is shown in, The Hunger Games, movie included. Everyone has an opinion but, in my point of view I see her process of writing a best seller, almost exactly.
When I daydream about The Hunger Games, immediately Katniss, the main character, comes to mind. Katniss, she’s a girl and the main character, why didn’t Suzanne choose the usual boy to be the book’s main character? I presume because, half of this novel is based on romance and the other half is based on a battle to the death. Without a girl there couldn’t be romance. That leaves the battle to the death half. Which is new to my taste but, Suzanne hit the mild and spicy act smack dab on the nose. Along with the rest of the astoundingly exquisite book, I came across another point why a lady was her pick of a main character in my hypothesis. Reason being, she wants to prove women are powerful too, like bring twelve districts and a Capitol to tears powerful. Crying isn’t Katniss’s game though, it’s archery and, she’s kill a squirrel with a shot through the eye, good. Hunting isn’t a bias sport gentlemen, Katniss Everdeen proves that. My female friend, Abby, hunts too and she’s shot two deer.
All focus is continuously on Katniss in The Hunger Games, and the next book in the trilogy, Catching Fire. Catching Fire is titled after The Hunger Games, as a matter of opinion. In The Hunger Games, Katniss is nicknamed the girl on fire. Perfect nickname for her, Cinna, her designer for the games, came up with it. He was tired of the coal miner costumes year after year so, he changes it up a little with some fire. Her ensemble was literary lit with flames before the chariot ride. Never cherishing the Capitol for making them act cheerful in the chariot rides, their anniversary game, in the long run pushes her over the limit and she may start a few uprisings. That’s why in The Hunger Games her signature should be, fight fire with fire. Catching Fire, know you should understand. Suzanne incorporated to her readers this sign and I saw the sign clear as day.
The Catching Fire movie is sure to change a few of the main details from the book, just like The Hunger Games movie. Why in the world did Katniss receive the mockingjay pin in a different way? I’m not quite positive why Gary Ross, The Hunger Games director, chose to direct my most beloved installments differentially in the movie which, I didn’t take pleasure in. But, I have a clue. With how Suzanne explained Madge in such specification it wouldn’t have been a simple task to find a look-alike, therefore one of my favorite characters couldn’t give Katniss the mockingjay pin. Hob dealers weren’t described as well so, that’s a compromise Gary made. This was really a downer and that’s another implement to as why the book was better than the movie in my judgement along with some of my beasties.
Everyone has an opinion but, in my point of view I see Suzanne Collin’s process of writing a best seller, almost exactly. She has a foreign illusion toward writing a novel, which is shown in, The Hunger Games, movie included. The Hunger Games is composed by a New York Times Bestselling author and is the number one movie of the year. From reading the volume and watching the movie, Gale would be my choice but, the dying question is, in Mockingjay will Katniss make the right decision?

ANWR, Drilling?
Author’s Note: Document Based Questioning, Should the United States Drill for Oil in Alaska’s Wilderness? That’s the question, for Social Studies we were asked to write an essay revolving around. In seventh grade we are to perform a smaller form of the eighth graders DBQ, that’ll prepare us for High School. With research to back up my opinion here’s what I came up with.
Should the United States drill for oil in one of the major sanctuaries for arctic animals? In one simple word my judgment could be explained; NO! The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, which is the dominant place they have thought to drill in, is 1.5 million-acres for arctic nature to live his or her life cycle. The citizens had an idea for the ANWR to perhaps be a vicinity to lower our gas prices. This mentioning will only cause dreadful cons in the near future. It shall not be destroyed, is what all the research that I’ve gathered proves, but there are recommendations on the other side of our debate. Drilling for oil in the ANWR is horrible advice to our country in my opinion, but it’s only a suggestion, there are additional alternatives.
There are so many ways the Alaskan environment could easily be affected by the United States drilling for oil. Drilling in these areas would spoil the fragile environment and potentially kill many species of life. The national parks would lose their beauty and be unavailable for use by the general public, fi.edu stated. This con fit very well with what’s going through my mind. What’s not going through my mind properly is why our scheme was to drill, it will just build waste of additional oil because in the close years to come the United States will have invented electric cars. Electric cars will help Alaska of all the states the finest because, it’s the largest state. If we do need extra oil in case electric cars take longer than expected to be designed, we can make substitutes. That’s what lake.k12.fl.us suggests. Maybe find a new area to drill from. Why drill in Alaska, why not China, it’s larger than Alaska and would supply more oil? Or another backup would be to discover a technique to save oil.
My secondary topic is the economy, if you assume the atmosphere isn’t going to deal well with the drilling, consider the cost-cutting measure. Why does everybody assume that the drilling will make us more money? I would furthermore like to bring to your awareness, tourist will no longer be fond of vacationing to this state. I also imagined an estimation of the cost to travel the machinery up to Alaska to drill. That’s nuts. Machinery is transported a big number of times to make gas prices go down but, this is diverse. “Gas prices will go down [if the United States drills in Alaska]” a website I visited quoted. The other websites that I’ve visited brought up a point of, gas and tax prices will only rise further in undersized years to help manufacture the environment to how it was originally.
Finally, the economy won’t be the only thing affected by the drilling so will the safety, which is the most important in my head. The native’s critters, plants, and even the Alaskans could have a very likely chance to be injured by the drilling. Emotionally and psychically, it can harm their hearts. Not being able to get up with the sight of gorgeous doe in their backyards, could end in emotional harm to the hearts. Kids can have an even harder time with breathing than adults because their lungs have yet to develop completely which would cause physical damage to their hearts. I have a idea to avoid the harm. In China, which I brought up before, the descent is spread further than Americans across the country. To help safety of harass toward their country, moving closer to each other could assist making that a dream come true. With the parts of villages not being occupied, they could drill from to get the oil we are in need of.
There are additional alternatives, instead of the horrible advice given to our country of drilling for oil in the ANWR. Environment, economy, and safety concerns are highly like to erupt. Choosing a side to consent with wasn’t difficult for me. The government is able to take my recommendation any day.

What did the Child Call?
Author's Note: People don't understand how to truly cherish every living second of life on the Earth. I can’t say that I don’t, well I can now, now that I’ve read A Child Called “It”. I will be responding to that story in my essay.
“Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes, they forgive them,” stated by Oscar Wilde. I thought this quote related very well to the book because; many children forgive, but for children like Dave Pelzer, his “Ten Outstanding Young Americans” and “Outstanding Young Persons of the World” honor merit say there’s no logic to kiss and make up. He’s not the only person that isn’t able to laugh off what happened to him. For the one out of five people in the world who are abused, according to “A Child Called It”, which is an estimation of 3 million children, can agree to this statement. With that said, this book pleased me because of it's bits and pieces of laughs and smiles it gave me, how it can compare to the other books and the real world.
I giggled for the first time when he calls his mom “a name”; the second time that I smiled was when he told the reader’s he was going to survive her games. A Child Called “It” isn’t necessarily pleasing as in satisfying and peaceful, but it’s good in a way to keep me turning pages. My most cherished, incomparable part of the book is the beginning, which is usually not the case, but in the beginning they give you limited knowledge of the future. Dave Pelzer is his own super hero. Heroes are often in a ginormous majority of the books I’ve read since I can have a ball reading a non-fictional story with a bitter side, but heroes take away that factor from the equation. On that note, comparing A Child Called “It” to Perfect can take place because they’re both all about healing. Perfect isn’t like A Child Called “It” in an additional way in the behalf of, the most marvelous morsel in A Child Called “It” is up in front and Perfect’s number one segment is the end.
Although this book made me laugh a few times, it still was heartbreaking because of the fact that it truly happened. In the real world people take as gospel that their parents are ruining their lives because, they won’t let them get a phone, but they don’t know Dave Pelzer’s definition of hard. Dave Pelzer’s mind is set to the definition of hard as: not being fed at all in 7 days. Hard is referred to in our heads as having something we don’t like on our plates. Opinions are opinions; I can’t really relate to this book. We can’t dismiss the fact that some parents are being abused by their children, it’s not always the children being abused. Guess I could relate to that since my friend always yells in her mom’s ears, and licks her face, and hits her until I say “You know what that’s not cool,”; I think I could be her savior, such as Dave’s dad. Although in the book, his dad has to work and can’t always save his butt; likewise with me, I can’t sleepover every night.
The bits and pieces of laughs and smiles it gave me, and how it compared to the real world and other books is why A Child Called "It" pleased me. Too bad he wasn’t able to cram this in the back of his mind, the only part not contained with his mother’s rules. This point can relate to the quote “Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of overcoming it,” which was stated by Helen Keller. Why I chose that quote is because in A Child Called “It”, Dave Pelzer was full of suffer in the beginning, but he overcame it in the end. That’s why this tragedy is such a good read.

Perfect or Not Perfect?
Perfect or Not Perfect?
Author's Note-- My 20th piece is my second literary analysis. About a book I would recommended to all and rate 5 stars. I hope I've improved. I've been working on writing a proficient conclusion, using AB transitions, and increasing my proficiency in sentence fluency. If I do say so myself, I'm quite proud of this piece. I bet I can recite this by heart now all the times I've re-read. Thanks Mrs. Mundt for all your help. I hope I give you all a better look upon bulimia.
Going bulimic is not the road to take when tragedy hits, Natasha Friend captured this message strikingly in Perfect. This author, once wrote, “If you believe in something stand up for it even if everyone is sitting.” That quote was stated by Trish and to me that reminds me of Rosa Parks not giving up her seat to a white person. There's no right or wrong answers in belief, which is the point Natasha is trying to get across in Perfect.
Wouldn’t a book titled Perfect be about someone who’s oh I don’t know, what’s the word I’m looking for, oh ya PERFECT? I stand corrected. Perfect is a superb book. It’s nowhere near being about a perfect human being. Truly it’s about two flawless people who don’t know that they’re sublime. It’s one of those books you want to jump in and scream, “YOU ARE PERFECT!” and have them do a double take. In Perfect Natasha Friend, the author, perfectly captures the message of; going bulimic is not the road to take when tragedy hits.
Just in case you don’t happen to be familiar with bulimia; it’s an eating disorder when people purposely make themselves throw up after eating. One of the emotional effects of bulimia included in the book was putting yourself down ,but not putting yourself down is one of the steps to becoming perfect. Isabelle, the main character was effected in this way by not feeling that she is worthy of living and she is against her look. A few minor effects would include depression, fear of gaining weight, anxiety, dizziness, shame, and low self-esteem. Visualize a minority of major emotional effects of bulimia. To believe this is the second most common eating disorder because of hopelessness, that’s heartbreaking.
While still visualizing a minority of major emotional effects of bulimia, don’t over-look the physical effects of bulimia. Very few of the physical effects of bulimia included blood in the puke, hair loss, dry skin, dental damage, organ damage, immune system damage, weak muscles, irregular heartbeat, problems with digestion, and decrease in body temperature. In the book the second main character, Ashley is familiar to bleeding after vomiting. Even writing this makes me nauseous. So now let me ask you. Why in the world would you think going to the extreme of becoming bulimic is the path to take?
Going bulimic is not the road to take when tragedy hits, Natasha Friend captured this message strikingly in Perfect. This author, once wrote, “If you believe in something stand up for it even if everyone is sitting.” That quote was stated by Trish and to me that reminds me of Rosa Parks not giving up her seat to a white person. There's no right or wrong answers in belief, which is the point Natasha is trying to get across in Perfect.
