= Why Electronic devices should be allowed in School =

Does Music help you work faster? Well it helps me. Also it helps a lot of other people I know work faster. But in my school we can’t listen to music. Not even a t lunch. It’s a rule that we can’t listen to music at all. I don’t see why not though because, We should be able to listen to music because it helps students work fast, Blocks out the other students actions that distracts you ,Last, it’s fun to listen to.

Music helps student work faster. It helps because it keeps you focused on getting your work done. The Music blocks out other noises.Also you’ll want to get done faster so you can listen to your music longer.

Music Blocks Out Noises and Distractions from other students actions When you hear the music you focus on the lyrics not your peers.You can’t hear what the other students are doing .It keeps you from doing stupid things.

Music is fun to listen to. Music is fun to listen to because it’s your favorite to listen to. Music let’s you relax when your stressed out. Music most of the times gets you hype and motivated to do more things.

Opposing View Point

Electronics shouldn’t be allowed in school because, They’ll try and get on social networks. Also they wont hear the teacher giving instructions. They’ll sing out loud and distract other students from doing they’re work.


 * 1) My Opinion

Even though students may get on social networks it’s not that big a deal because what if the only way they can get in touch with they’re family encase of emergency? They Can hear the teacher if they turn the volume down. Actually it motivates the students work faster.Also students wouldn't be stupid enough to sing aloud because,they'll lose they're privileges to lose they're music so they wouldn't take any chances doing that.

Good work on this Sahira. Keep it up. **//"MONSTER" Essay//** //Steve is a 16 year old boy who lives in Harlem.Hes on death row for being apart of a homicide. So he's trying to prove his innocence. So hes on trial. Away that shows that justice is served in Steves case. Justice is served in Steves case because, Steves role during the robbery was to be the lookout. Steve shouldnt have been charged with felony murder because, he's a good kid, nobody knows if he gave a signal,and he really had no serious part in the robbery.Steve shouldnt be charged with felony murder because he's a good kid. // === //A thing that shows that Steve is a good kid is when he's in Stuyvesant High School film club.Steves intrested in movies.Steve likes making movies.Steve was one of Mr.Sawikis best student's. // === school to work on film projects

//Another reason why he can't be charged is because He is only 16 and what does that make you look like putting a 16 yearold in jail. Nobody knows if he gave a signal.So really you have no evidence of him being in the store? Bobo Evans said "Nobody knows wat the signal was." So if he did give a signal then how did you know when to go in the store? Bobo said nobody knew what the signal was. So you know that since you didn't know the signall why would you go in the store? Steve walked into the store he realized what he was doing so he justwalked out the store and left. //

// The last reason why Steve shouldn't be charged for being part of a murder and robbery is because. Steve didn't shoot anybody. Steve walked out the store without saying anything And then went straight home. Steves part in the robbery wasn't really that serious. In Steves journal entry he said " What was i doing ?" and,"I didn't do nothing wrong." A way Steves part in the robbery wasn't that serious. He probably didn't give a signal. Also All he had to do was give a signal. Even if he was involved then it wasnt that serious that he needed to get life for giving a signal. So I think that it wouldn't be nessasary putting him on death row. Maybe probation for being part of the robery //

RAP Music

Did you know that rappers don't just rap about Drugs,And Criminal Acts but they rap about things theyve seen or have ben apart of in the past of their life.. Rap music is making people violent,Mare disrespectful towards women,And Does Glorify more criminal activity. Rap music is making people more violent,in many ways.Rap music makes people more violent because theyre saying if you make me mfulad in going to beat you up.Also it's teachingyou to do drugs and shoot people for stupid reasons.When you lisen to the lyrics they talk about guns And being in Gangs.Thats why sometimes when you listen to rap music you may become even more violent than you already was. Rap music is making more disrespectful to women through their lyrics.Rappers use disrespect language towards women calling them disrespectful names.Also another thing is thatit tells their fans about having more than one female at a time.Last women start to except being disrespected.A females Respect for herself has decreased from being disrespected. Rap musics disrespectful to women calling them innoprpiate names.Last,thats why rap music glorifys more Criminal Behavior by teaching them to kil & be in gangs. Rap music Glorifys more criminal Behavior.Rappers are somepeoples Idols So when they Rap about being a criminal their fans follow them n their footsteps.Usaully criminals start at an early age from the Rap music they hear.Rappers don't put positive things in their lyrics like don't do drugs or dont be disrespect to others.Thats rappers Glorify more criminal behavior. Thats why I'd radther sometimes listen to R&B other thab rap music.

Well i have, here is what happens.
====One time I was left at school by my brothers because,they thought I was staying after school.They thought I was staying after school because I went to after school marching band practice once so they thought I had Marching Band practice again.So I was left alone at the school.The school is Wilkinsburg Middle/High school.====

Next,I called home, and told my mom, to tell her, to tell my brothers to get me from school.”Mom.Can you tell the boys to come get me?”I told her.After I called my mom, I went to the band room.I saw Destiny Mclemore.She asked me why I was still at the school.I said “My brothers left me here.She said “Oh.Well did you call them?” I said”Yes they’re on their way to come get me.”The Basement was White and The band room was also White.I was so mad my face was turning Red Also tears was coming down my face .It felt like Steam was coming out my ears. .When my face is red im either mad,Or Really,Really cold I was mad and thinking that I was going to be stuck their for hours.Instead of thinking Positive I was thinking Negative thoughts. All that changed.

Then, Zymiah,came and told me .”Your brothers are looking for you.”I said. “where are they at?”I said .”Come on I’ll show you.”So I followed her.The,Dezhanae said.” your brothers are looking for you.” I told her I knew that already so i followed Dezhanae and she took me to where they was at. Then I found them In Room 207 I detention talking to Ms.Craig.

After, I found my brothers I asked. “why did you leave me here?” They said .”I thought you said that you was going to band after school.” My brother said.”I said I didn’t have band.” After that my brothers was saying goodbye to Ms.Craig In the Detention Room.

We were on are way home and I was talking to my brother Rafiq.We were playing around. I started to think about how releived i was when my brothers came to get me.Also i was really tired and i had a headache. My brother knocked the though out my head when he was acting like he was going to push me into Sticky bushes. We walked up the steps to my house. Me

Finally, when I got home I realized I could count on my family especially my brothers Rafiq and Rahim ,to always be there for me. My mom came to me ad told me.”what are you going to do next time your brothers cant get you?” and I said “walk.” She said.”well I guess ill have to get you a key to the house.”

Here, you could talk about how good it feels to have a brother that cares enough about you to come back to the school to pick you up when you were having a rough day.

Sahira- You are a good writer. I think your introduction could be more attention-getting. Remember in class we talked about the ways to do this. It could be a question, some dialogue, an interesting fact, or a sound effect. IN this case, I think you could ask a question about feel left behind... Let me know in class if you don't get this.

This is a great story. Can you talk about how excited you were to see your brothers?

**My Grandma Norelle** My Grandma Norelle is the Nicest person i know.Shes funny to.She takes me to lots of places.Also she buys me lots of things.I go see her every year in maryland.She has short curly hair. When i was younger And,would stay with her she would always used to do my hair.one time she came to my houselast year.Also we talk on the phone sometimes.

One time we threw my Grandma a suprise party.She got scared and ran away.Sometimes my Grandma's mean,not likely though.I heard stories that she was mean to my dad ,and his siblings.

I like visiting my Grandma at my aunt Terries house.We do lots of things together.My grandma is 68 but she looks like she's in her 30's.Shes really fun to be around.Like she's a cool person.Sometimes I think of er as a Friend and not a Grandma.That's why i decided to write about my Grandma as my character in my charactersketch.

Everytime I go to my Grandma's house I never want toleave.She doesnt like when i leave either.When I go to her house we have good times.she does my hair.She always used to do my hair when i was younger and would go over her house.

We talk about celebrities and people a lot.we have goodtimes when i see her.She tells me stories about when she was younger and would fight her brothers and ranom people.She was kind of a Tomboy.We also have things in common because we are both active.Thats my character sketch on my grandma.

//** Every thing you know about BOXING:Every thing i know about boxing is that it invovles punching and fighting. **//

Acyually its very violent but it uses a strategy.My older Brother Rashad Simpson he used to box but now he doesnt.

he used to box at the gym in Wilkinsburg.he was a really good boxer.i think he never lost a match (but i never been to 1 of his matches.)

People in my family that i know boxed is only 2 people their names are Rashad (my bro.)and my cousin Milo Wilson.

I am really not a big fan of boxing.

Muhammad Ali was A famous boxer.Thats all I know about Muhammad Ali.

I only know a couple of famous boxers.Mike Tyson,Muhammad ali,Layla Ali.No one else comes to mind .but that is all i know about boxing. ====//** Also it's a deadly sport.
