Shall I compare thee to a Summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And Summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And oft' is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd:
But thy eternal Summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wanderest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
-William Shakespeare

Violence Essay
There has been many violence in the world. Violence has existed since the start of life. You can find violence everywhere you go. There are many types of violence, but one of the biggest violence that I have seen is the violence of war. War has and always will be a part of life There is always war everywhere. There has been wars or battles all over the world in land, on water, and on the air.
War is one of the most violent things. They're the cause of death, and distruction. I believe that war was made by humans to see which tribe, or country is far more superior than the other. War is usually triggered when one country attacks another to get more land. Usually in war countries use propoganda to make the citizens of the country support the war. War is a big part of violence, it is the cause of hundreds or even millions of deaths, and they're usually caused for no great reason. One example of war is the war in Iraq, the United States of America had invaded Iraq, after telling the UN(United Nations), and NATO(North Atlantic Treaty Orginization) that Iraq had nuclear weapons. Even when the United Nations and NATO agreed that the war in Iraq would be a illigal war the United States, as a world power, ignored the UN and NATO and Invaded Iraq. The United States used the same excuse that they usually say "we are not conquerers, we are liberators". The war in Iraq has so far taken around 95,310-103-988 lives. The real reason the United States invaded Iraq, was for Oil, The United State's oil has greatly decreased, and the price of oil has increased.
Violence has and will always exist, there will never be a day where all the violence suddenly stops.

READING AUTOBIOGRAPHY
I've been rading since I was six years of age. The first book I ever read was,"The Three Little Pigs." It took me some time to finish the book but I finished it. It was about three little pigs that move out of their parents house, and decided to make different homes for one another. After I read many other books, but after I passed to the fourth grade, I suddenly stopped reading books.I read some but I never finished them. I started to start and finish reading the whole book again untill around the seventh grade, when they made a new program where you had to read books and answer some questions in the computer. At first I didn't really pay attention to the program, until I had gotten my progress report for my English class, I had an F. I then started to read some books and answer the questions, I ended up passing my English class with a B. After I graduated from middle school to go on to high school I suddenly stopped reading again. LAst year I barely read one bok, I dont remember the name of that book, but the point is that i haven't really read a book. My parents always try to convince me to read, but they end up with failure. There were some times were they ended in success, I started reading a book so my parents can stop bothering me. I probably read for about five minutes and then I stopped. In the past, I used to get books from either the school library, or a public library, but I don't check out books no more. Last year I checked out a book for the first time in this school, the only reason I really checked out a book was because I had a project that was worth around 100 points, which was around 20% of my grade. I might start to check out books this year because I read really slow. At times I might stop, but this time I will actually try to start reading.

WILD CARD ESSAY
Today, in the present, music is a huge part of my life. I can't stand a day without listening to music. Music pretty much helps me out, it helps me concentrate. A large variety of teachers and adults believe that music is nothing but a distraction, and it messes up your head. I strongly disagree with them all. I believe that music doesn't do that, sure it can be distracting at times, but to other people it might have different affect. To me music helps me concentrate, I listen to R&B, Rap, Rock, and many different genres.
You must think that I've been hearing music since elementary. That, in fact, is not true. I started hearing music at grade 7th, before all that I never liked music, I never knew the names or anything about music. I never enjoyed music, but one day I saw many of my friends with ipods, hearing music. I felt left out, as if I were a different person, I was practacly the only one not hearing music. Of course I asked my parents for a Ipod, they decided to buy me it. I was very happy that I had an Ipod. The only problem was that I didn't know what songs to put. I had no idea of what songs to put. I started putting songs, the first month I didn't use my Ipod. My parents were regreting buying me an Ipod, but after a bit i started to put some songs. Though I did not know what songs to put I slowly put music in my Ipod, I had around 10 songs for a whole month. Some of my friends later recommended me putting more songs. I started to build up music on my Ipod, until now. Now I had around 400 songs, but my computer broke and now I use a laptop. So right now I have around 135 songs on this Ipod. I've made some good progress in these last 2 years.
For many people music is an anoyance, music, to me is a big, huge, gigantic, part of my life. From 7th grade to the present(10th grade) i have gotten over 130 songs. I plan to get more songs in the future.

WHERE IM FROM
"Where I'm From"
I was born in Los Angeles, California
I am a citizen of these United States of America.
I am both an American and a Latin American
American, for the country in which I was born in
American, for the country in which I was born in
Latin American for the countries in which my parents were born in.
I am from the western side of the United States
I am from the western side of the United States
Proud to be here and live here, I am
Sometimes proud, sometimes ashamed of who i am.
I am an unperfect person in an unperfect world
perfectly knowing that life is and will be dificult
I proudly live here, where I was born, where I live,
Where I am from.
I am an unperfect person in an unperfect world
perfectly knowing that life is and will be dificult
I proudly live here, where I was born, where I live,
Where I am from.
