Cesar Cesar E. Lopez 2/3/14 Jordan shoes a very symbolic. If someone has Jordan’s or J’s it usually means they have money, have very good style or like playing sports. I don’t wear J’s because they are not really my style. People are so proud of having their Jordan’s that they clean them every single day and they make a huge deal when it gets slightly dirty. Sometimes if someone accidentally //steppes// on their new J’s they may be so proud of their shoes that they might actually want to fight you! Shoes are very symbolic.

 * 1) When Ponyboy says that "He's hard as a rock and about as human." about Darry he what I think he’s trying to say is that he is hard to get to emotionally, he’s tuff, and when he says as human I think he is trying to say as human as a rock, seeing how a rock is not human I think Ponyboy is implying that darry is also probably stuck up, tuff, no emotion, and not understanding. He just has no love and is bitter.


 * 1) Darry and Soda are two very different characters. Soda is very free, loving, caring, and understanding on the other hand Darry is very locked up and he is only 20 years old. Ponyboy feels that darry doesn’t understand how he feels. Derry can’t have any fun what so ever because he has to many responsibilities. Soda is always trying to comfort Pony when Darry bugs him or puts him down. But it’s not completely Derry’s fault. He has way more responsibilities than a 20 year old should have he has to maintain his 2 younger kid brothers, Soda and Pony, he has to take care of them, work 2 jobs, and make sure nothing happens to them while he is 20! The reason he has so many responsibilities is because their parents died in a car wreck 8 months ago and he is still not used to all that pressure and responsibilities.

 * 1) Yes I do. This affects our relationship as friends because we argue more about stuff. Or parents also don’t like it very much when we hang out either because we are a HUGE sign that says “Trouble”.
 * 2) You can overcome your environment by surrounding yourself with people you know and the people that you are most comfortable with. This makes you have fun more and not worry as much about things.
 * 3) A gang is like a family because you look out for each other in a way that a family member would.
 * 4) To make a positive difference in some one’s life or to help someone in a bad situation is what it takes to be a hero in my opinion.
 * 5) An outsider in my opinion is someone who is a misfit. Another way of saying it is someone who doesn’t belong.

Cesar E. Lopez 1/7/14   Vocab HW    1/6/14 Sports should stay because now if you want to join a sports team you must have a .4 GPA at the very least

Sports also teach reliability, hard work, and discipline which can be helpful I the future and with your future job.

Another reason sports should stay is because more teenagers will less likely use drugs.

Cesar E. Lopez 12/18/13 Question 1: The meanest thing Scrooge did in the movie was when he didn’t want to put more coal in the fire. I think this is the meanest thing he did because it wouldn’t have cost him anything, especially because he is filthy rich. Question 2: Jacob Marley is Scrooges dead business partner. From what I can tell from what Marley said is he was kind of like Scrooge. They were both partners and Scrooge was Marley’s best friend. Marley liked being alive more than being dead. Question 6: Scrooge had a very hard childhood. He didn’t have a mother because she died giving birth to him, his dad rejected him and blamed Scrooge for the death of his mother and never spent time with him. I think scrooge should partially be excused for the way that he acted because his father wasn’t around much so how would he know right from wrong? But he is an adult and should at least be polite or not say anything.

Cesar E. Lopez There are differences and similarities between Mr. Scrooge from a //__Christmas Carole__// and Mr. Mosby from the TV show //the Suit life of Zach and Cody.// One similarity is that Scrooge is a grumpy person like Mr. Mosby. On the other Scrooge is always rude and angry unlike Mr. Mosby. Mr. Mosby is mostly annoyed because of the trouble making twins, Zach and Cody. Another difference is that Scrooge is a Coal Business man and Mosby is a hotel manager. Another similarity is that they both take place in England. Scrooge is in England and Mosby is in London, England. Another difference is that Scrooge is White and Mosby is Black also, that a //__Christmas Carole__// takes place in the past and //Zach and Cody// take place in the closest thing to the present.

Cesar E. Lopez 12/5/13   Period 7 Scrooge Paragraph Scrooge is a carless, rude, grumpy, uncaring person on Christmas; similarly like the Grinch. But there is an explanation behind his ungenerously self. His mother died giving birth to Scrooge. His father blamed Scrooge for his mother’s death. He spent mostly all his Christmases by himself and lonely. In the movie everyone happy and full of joy but on the other hand, Scrooge does not say “Merry Christmas”. When people would try to say any words of joy or singing Christmas songs he would be rude and mean to them; made them feel bad. These are all signs that he hates Christmas. Scrooge is also a paranoid and very private. An example of that is when scrooge gets to his dark and lonely home, he goes directly to his dark room and locks himself with about 3 to 4 locks. I think Scrooge is the way that he is because of the way his father blamed Scrooge for the loss of his mother. I think that if Scrooge spent if more of his time with his father, and that his father would stop blaming him about his mother’s death then Scrooge would be completely different.

Period 7

There are both differences and similarities between Captain America and Johnny Storm. One of the similarities is that they are both super heroes. The difference is that in Fantastic 4, Johnny Storm [Chris Evans] is an irresponsible, conceded, childish young person that can burst into flames. Unlike Steve Rogers or Captain America, who is a respectful polite soldier from the past that was frozen in an iceburg and preserved and eventually became part of a group of superheroes known as the Avengers.

Cesar E. Lopez 10/17/13   Period 7 ‍‍“I’m so tired man!” I said as we were running away.‍‍ ‘’Shut up fool just keep running “Anthony said. I was pretty sure he had done this before. I could tell by the way we ran away from the security guard. He was running fast but I saw the calmness in his eyes, he almost looked like he had forgotten that we were being chased by the damn security guards we had thrown eggs at. “Hey lets go this way!” said Mickale. We did he jumped a small fence that led to an ally. We found a great hiding spot but soon the security guards found us we had to keep running.

‘’ Aye man after school we need to get the things.” I said “Alright. We need to see who’s coming though.” Anthony said. “Man I already told you whose coming; it’s Ricky, Mickale, Mitchell, Angel, you and me.” “No not Angel. I don’t want him to go he’s gonna mess everything up.” He said “Fine. I didn’t want him to go anyway. Alright so we’re meeting at Mitchell’s house.” I said. “Who is going to buy the eggs?” “Mickale said he would but ima bring some too.” “Alright. Should I bring my BB gun? He asked “Why do you need to bring the BB gun?” “What if there’s a bum and he starts chasing us something.” He said. “Is Saki coming?” I asked. “No!” Anthony and I turned around. It was Angel. “Shut up fool you’re not coming either!” Anthony said “You shut up. You’re not coming chino. “ “Yea I am. Ask Lalo!” “Huh Lalo he’s not going?” “Yea //he// is but not you.” “Okay watch. I’m not your friend!” “I don’t care!” I yelled at him. After that he left then Ricky and Mitchell showed up. “What’s up guys? Ricky said “Is everything ready for today?” “Yea but Angel’s not going with us.” Anthony said. “Really? Mitchell asked. “Yea. Why did you want him to go with us?” I asked “Hell no!” he said “He would ruin everything. Plus he wines so much! He’s like a little kid.” Not much after he said that the bell rang and it was the end of school. “Let’s go get the things.” Anthony said. “Hold on let’s wait for Mickale.” I said we waited for about 2 minutes and then he saw us and began to walk towards us. “Sup guys? Are we going to get the things?” “Yea, do you have the money?” Mitchell asked “Yea, let’s go get everything already come on.” We went to the store to get the eggs. After we bought them Mitchell said,”Alright remember we all meet at my house. Everybody make sure you have everything before you come. Remember your red shirts your masks and your backpacks okay? See you guys later.” After that we all left. I couldn’t wait until later that night.

After we bought them Mitchell said,”Alright remember we all meet at my house. Everybody make sure you have everything before you come. Remember your red shirts your masks and your backpacks okay? See you guys later.” After that we all left. I couldn’t wait until later that night.

Later that night I went to Mitchell’s house. I was the first one there. “Aye what’s up?” I heard Mitchel say.” You have all your things right?” “Yea I have everything. The other guys here yet?” I asked. “Nah they’ll be here later. What did Angel say? Did he say, is he coming or not?” “I don’t think so. Why?” I asked. “Because I don’t want him to come.” He said. I already knew why he had asked me that, and I had already known the answer that was it. After that we heard someone knocking on the door. We both quickly looked at each other and ran out the back. We both got on the roof and we looked to see who it was. We didn’t want to answer the door to angel because then he’d //have// to come with us. It was Ricky. “Hey! Mitchell, you there?” he yelled trying to see him through the window. “Yea I’m up here!” he yelled loudly. Ricky looked up and laughed. “What the hell are you guys doing up there?” he asked. I jumped off the roof and Ricky and I did our handshake. “You ready?” I asked “Yea.” “You have all your crap right?” “Yes man I have everything. “He responded. Mitchell decided to play it safe and not jump off the roof. When he came down he did his handshake with Ricky and then Anthony and Mickale showed up. Mickale had brought scooter for me and Mitchell and he had brought a bike for himself. Anthony had rolled up in a bike right after Mickale showed up. “Alright were all here.” Mitchell said. About 3 minutes after that it was dark enough to have some fun. We were all wearing black long sleeve T-shirts, masks, and jeans. We hit our first house pretty good. We hid by some bushes and waited for some kids to knock on the door. When they did as soon as they opened the door, Boom! 5 eggs went flying 2 eggs hit the window and Mitchells, Anthony, and mine hit the people that were by the door and Mikael’s and Ricky’s hit the windows. As soon as we did that we all ran laughing our buts off. We had all left our scooters in an ally close to the house that we had egged. We all rode away to another house. We still had about 7 eggs so we all decided to go to the local town square and have some action over there. When we were there we all threw the eggs at the stores, then the least expected happened. “Hey!” someone yelled we all looked around but we saw nobody. But when I turned around I saw Anthony shooting at some security guards that were on duty we all cursed and we ran towards our scooters and bikes but the security was already after us. It was too late he had to lose them by foot. As we were running I heard one of the securities calling the cops. “Crap. No! This can’t be happening. Damn it!” I thought to myself I was pretty sure everyone else was thinking the same. I heard the sirens of the cops. “I’m so tired man!” I said as we were running away. “Shut up fool just keep running.” Anthony said. I was pretty sure he had done this before. I could tell by the way we ran away from the security guards and cops. He ran fast but I could see the calmness in his eyes. He almost looked like he had forgotten we were being chased. “Hey let’s go this way!” said Mikael. We did. We jumped a small fence that led to an ally. He found a great hiding spot but soon the security guards found us we had to keep running. We found an old house that looked abandoned. At this point we didn’t care and we just broke in. But I soon realized this house was abandoned because it was haunted. There was broken glass everywhere and it was colder than hell. We all took off our masks and pulled out our phones and used the light to see what else was on the walls. We saw triangles with eyes on them and he had to get out of there. FAST. “Damn. Karma’s a….” Anthony began to say. “Wait. Shut up you guys hear that?” I interrupted him. We all heard footsteps and we freaked out. We all saw things that looked like demons. I quickly pulled out my bb gun and shot at them. Then it was silent. So silent I could hear the ice cold wind blowing we left the house and went back to get our scooters it was already 11:55 and all crashed at Mitchell’s house. The next day we all walked to school in the cloths we were in the day before. We all swore he would never do that again. After school was over we all saw each other. And I said “you guys down to do that again? I’ll buy the eggs.” We all laughed. We couldn’t wait till next Halloween.

THE END!!
