My Favorite part of "Thank you M'am"

Mr.R please grade me on intro/conclusion and transition's

Imagine if you wanted shoes and you tried to mug a old lady and she bet you up and took you to her house and changed your life. You'll find all that and more in thank you M'am. My favorite part's are characters Roger, Mrs.Jones, and the there actions are something that will grab your attention. If you like conflict you'll love it as much as I did.

One of the most, complex yet simple to understand characters from thank you M'am is Roger. He's a poor kid who tried to rob a old lady to get some Blue Suede Shoes. He ended up getting kicked in the butt and dragged away to her house. I know what your thinking, what she do to him. Did she bet him or something. She really she took him and changed his life for the better. She Baptist him, feed him, and after that gave him the $10.00, for the Blue Suede Shoes. What Roger did with the money we'll never know.

Another one, of my favorite characters is Mrs.Jones. Mrs.Jones is a heavy set lady that who almost gets robed by Roger because he wanted Blue Suede Shoes. Mrs. Roger teaches Roger a lesson in attitude by telling him hes not alone. "I've done things that would tell god if he didn't all ready know". With this line and many others Mrs.Jones changes Roger's life. After she feed him and changed his life she still gives Roger the $10.00 he wanted for the Blue Suede Shoes and then closes the door. Will they ever see each other again who knows except Langston Hughes.

I would have to say that out of everything my extremly favorite part of "Thank You M'am are the characters action's. When Roger tried to steal from Mrs.Jones and she goes right around and kicks him in the butt. Then she goes right around and starts to drag him threw the street saying "You going to remember miss Luella Bates Washington Jones" if you don't know that's Mrs.Jones. You would think that she would take him to the cops but no she take him back to her small apartment, feed's him, talks to him, and cleans up. When Mrs.Jones or Luella gets up to clean up she leaves her purse unattended and the door is open he could run but decides not to and that represents a good change in Roger he's experienced's. Later on she gives him the money to buy the shoes. When he tried to say "Thank you M'am" he cant tell her the words and the door closes in his face.

In final recognitions, "Thank you M'ams" characters are great. Roger and Mrs.Jones and there action's deliver a home run. Roger wanted to rob Mrs.Jones for the Blue Suede Shoes but ended up getting changed into a better person. Mrs.Jones ended up changing the destiny of what are is unusually called a street rat into something better. So put yourself in Rogers shoes and some lady griped you up because you wanted shoes is it worth it

figure in history Thomas Paine

THOMAS PAINE wrote the book common sense that started to in rage the people and somewhat started the revolutionary war. This really important because without his pamphlet we as American would not have the rage to start the revolutionary war and win against the British and win are Independence and grow as 1 of the worlds strongest nation. instead we would be under British colonial rule. Still being used as a way to get money threw taxes. That is why I have chosen Thomas Paine as my NHD project.

Graduation 2012

Mr R. please grade me on Intro/conclusion and voice.

Have you ever graduated from high school, college, even elementary school, or are you stuck at some corny job at McDonald's. I wont be one of those people I going to be on of the ones that do graduate. Since I already graduated from elementary school. I guess I'm tackling high school next. I know I'm going to make it my family, friends, and even myself wont let do anything but succeed. It’s thought being me and in the next 3 years it’s going to get thougher but I'm going to have to tough it out.

My friends are the best they always preach at me and till find a way to make me laugh. They are all skinny so they have enough energy to do 10 things at one time me I take just one at a time. Like my friend Kevin he always wears a white shirt and caps its like it’s his existence or something. Then Gina 2 words describe Gina air head its true what they say about Blonde's and Gina living proof but one thing is there really fun. Then there's Oniel he’s a fuel fleshed Gothic for Halloween he was walking the streets in his regular clothes and some kids say him and ran away he even won a the weirdest costume contest reason Oniel is one of my friends because he has dark humor and he’s different then all the rest lets face he all have weird in us just some show it more than other's. Anyway my friends are great they’re strict in their studies and fun too be around its a win, win.

Ms.Donna is really great she got me to the point that I am now. I'm really not a good writer like if I was in saw and I Had to write a good punctured letter or die I would be dead but thanks to her I've become a much better writer and I've become better in a lot of other subjects thanks to her. Do you really want to know why I will graduate its because of her.........and me. My Aunt is vicious went it comes to school. It's like when I get home she’s preaching me to go back to school "Eric take of your school clothes" and "Eric go to sleep early" and my favorite "Eric do your homework early" It's to much often I finish my mountain stack of Homework when I finally go to sleep I dream of I'm in school so when I wake up its like I'm going back like its a 24 hour job. My Dad is the same way and my Cousin there both the same way. When I'm not asking them for money for lunch. I'm telling them a list of materials "I need". They tell me "your school must for royalty cause I'm coming out of pocket to much" and my dad always chimes in with " Tu vas a tenar que encountered una nueva escuela yo no tengo dinero para dalte todos los dias" of course he always says but still gives me the money.

The real reason I will graduate in 2012 is because I push myself to the extent that I try to do the best I can and as everyone knows hard work rewards itself and with hard work patience and persistence I will succeed in all my goals and expectations I have in life and follow my dreams.
In conclusion in 10 years your going to see me in a judge chair hearing a case and not working at McDonald’s and all because I graduated in 2012 and 2016 and 2019. I hope you graduated and are not working at some fast food place.

why the the country could elect obama or mccain

i believe the country should elect obama instite of mccain. the first reason is that barack stated his campaign on on change for the better not slandering the name of his competetor his runing strategy has always been direct and forward they are as faloud with his primary goal being to the end the war in iraq another is to increase international relations and finally to make better healthcare, tax brakes, and foreclosur for the middle class so in conclusion voting obama is voting for change for the better.
