Shakespeare Language

Taylor and Kinslie you are both a BAFFLE to mankind. Thou art BALE and BEDLAM BARNS. Thou art ABODEMENTS to thine selves and thine families, and ABY is due for the WRINGING you have thrust upon you towns. But though WOOD you make me feel I will WRY from my feelings of WREAK, but if I were to come upon you in my time of WOOD WITHAL, I COULD NOT DO from making you a WHITE. If you were to WHIR I would EMBOSS you so that I might make known to thee that you are a WHELK upon the flawless face you humanity.

Insult:
Were I like thee I'd throw away myself.
I think that this means to call the person it is said to trash.

Remembering 9/11


When this tragic event happened, I was in 2nd Grade, Mrs. Matteson's Class. I don't remember hardly anything about it. I don't remember knowing anything about it until lunch when my mom came and got me for an allergy doctor's appointment in Amarillo. When she picked me up I looked at her and saw that something wasn't right. I asked what was wrong and she told me that there had been a very bad thing happen in a big city a long way from here. Being a mere child I figured that somebody had gotten sick or something, I never in a million years imagined that it would be that something so much bigger. Something that would change millions of lives in totally different ways. The next thing I remember is driving into Amarillo, in a completely silent car, because my mom didn't want to turn on the radio and let me hear the talk of the tragedy. I remember sitting in the waiting room and watching television, I think it was like Nickelodeon or something. When someone came in and changed the channel. Just before I looked away I saw a replay of the planes hitting the towers, and immediately asking my mom what was happening.
As for the future I think that September 11th will always be a memory in the minds of those who were personally effected by it. The families of the lives lost, the soldiers sent into battle afterwards, and the survivors. In twenty years I have no clue what will be going on, we may not even be here. I don't even know what will happen in the next hour. I plan that I will be marching the halls in the band. But, who knows.
I believe that the terrorist chose America because of the beliefs we have established our country on and because they don't like that we have so much freedom and they don't. I have heard that they believe that the more people they murder, the closer they are to heaven, and that could also be a reason, because we don't believe that way. They think we are ignorant and stupid for not believing that.
No, I don't know anyone that was directly affected by it, the only person I know that is any where near those places is my cousin DeeDee she lives in Washington D.C., but other than that no one else.
If I wrote a story about 9/11 I would write it from the point of view of a child witnessing her first national tragedy. I would write what I know.
