political article response

Political Article

          In this article author Ledyard King discusses the lifting of the carbon emission restriction. Trump feels that this would increase jobs and revitalize the coal industry. He also talks about how trump says global warming is a "hoax". he plans on defunding the clean power plan. Trump also wants to pull out of the Paris climate agreement.
          I completely agree with Trump. Lifting the carbon emission restriction would increase jobs. It would do this by making the coal industry larger. I agree with trump when he says global warming is a hoax. I feel that the globe may be warming, but it has nothing to do with humans. The earth has gone through thousand of cycles of hot and cold.

          Its great to have grandparents. There are many obvious things that grandparents are good at. Loving, caring, and spreading joy. I will point out some less obvious things about my grandparents. 
          One thing that my grandparents do is pronounce things very strangely. An example is Italy, they pronounce it, It-Lee. Another example is Italian, they pronounce it I-talian. Another thing about my grandparents is that they are extremely gullible. If they read something somewhere or see it on T.V. than its right, no matter what anybody says. 

learning reflection

          Over the course of ninth grade I have learned a lot of things about myself. One, is that I learn better when I see things. For example I could memorize a graph better than a teacher telling me what to do. On the other hand a teacher could explain a diagram and then I would definitely remember it. I will use this knowledge to help remember things better.
          Another thing thing that I learned about myself is that I am good at managing my time. I usually do my work on the last day till its due. You may think that this is a bad strategy. To me it is not. I set aside time to do the work that I need to do.

          Over Mardi Gras me and my family usually go on vacation. This tradition did not change this year. I went to Whistler, Canada to ski. I had a cold and a runny nose, so the plane ride was very painful. During the last fifteen minutes of the ride my ears felt like the were being ripped off while exploding. After the pain and the waiting on the flight, I had finally arrived.
          I ski and snowboard, so I always get to pick what I want to do every time. This time I snowboarded for the first day. After falling about thirty times, I then realized that I was better at skiing. I swapped to skis and I was off. I had a great time and I think that my family did too.

song analysis

Heathens by twenty one pilots

          "Wait for them to ask you who you know ". In this portion of the song we see that the author emphasized the "oo" sound. I feel that he does this, because he wants to give an eerie feeling. Another line is "They say newcomers have a certain smell". This line uses sibilance to give a slithery creepy feel.
          In the line "Yeah, I trust issues, not to mention" the author uses repetition of "t" sounds .
I think the author does this to create a sharp sounding line. This sharp line contrasts very well with the smooth slithering sound of sibilance and the "oo".
