riddle

I cannot be seen, I cannot be felt
I cannot be heard, I cannot be smelt
I hide behind stairs and cars
I lurk in the corner of bars

I kill life and end laughter
I am follwed then after
I blanket entire cities
Then people walk around in pitty

villanelle

My goal is to play division one football
To hit all the people who come through the hole
Once i dreamed of a vision to run the ball
I creamed everyone who got in my way
Have to be fit to frighten all thier souls
My goal is to play division one football
The toll to get by me is broken bones
The crowds are always huge and going wild
Once i had a dream to run the ball
The calls always risky but have to work
Thiers a mr. scrooge rooting for the other team
My goal is to play divsion one football
The team always works as a whole no matter what
The refs never on your side a punishment
Once i had a dream to run the ball
I creamed the guy in front of me really hard
Can't be seen making a foul so be clever
My goal is to play division one football
Once i dreamed to run the ball

sonnet

Shall I compare thee to a heaven place.
My bed is the comfiest place to sleep
I love my bed its like a very nice base.
In it nothing shall wake me in this specail place
I dream about hamburgers and yummy french fries
I feel so secure nothing will ever harm me
I eat all the creamy ice cream and steak fries
Sleep is everything pure nothing unwanted.
But as i near that fatful clock of time.
Just as I slip to the depths of my dreams.
I start to hear it, is it bell of chime
It is the evil clock and its bad sceams
Then I hear my phone clock go buzz
I fall off the bed on the carpet fuzz

Grade essay

Andrew Madsen

            What should I get for my class grade? I think my grade should be a B. I participate in class all the time I also have improved my writing a lot. There is no reason I should not get a B.

            Although things that hurt m a lot this year. I didn’t put a lot of my work on my blog in fourth quarter which really hurt me. I haven’t been putting my blogs up out of pure laziness, also I have been a little busier than normal lately but I could still probably find time to put them up. Sometimes I also get off task in class.

            I participate in class all the time. I try to defend on what I say in class like when were. I also try to pose questions to what people think to try and make them question them. I also try to get people who don’t say much in class o share about what they think it is or give opinion on what we read.

            My writing has improved majorly this year as well I feel like I can really write an essay now. My refutations are very strong as well as my thesis statements. I try to always start with a question to ask something make the reader think then I tell them what I need to. I also try to have strong refutation to really show that other stuff happened.

            My point is, is that I deserve a B. I have worked fairly hard to get one, I have improved a lot this year especially in writing I feel much more confident now. I did get lazy a little bit but now I’m still a much better writer.

Concrete poem

Im a thing with cheese
Just oh so easy to please
I have a friend named french fry
He tells no lies

I'm everyones favorite food
I'll always put you in a good mood
I'm going to be gobbled down
I will  not go to waste

I'm just a buger on a plate
There's nothing to hate

Dear, John and Shannon

Today’s society is quite a crazy bunch. Majority of kids have a curfew, what time do you think is an acceptable time? If I had a longer curfew I could stay out with friends longer and be away from you and not be annoying. I think I also need to be with friends longer so I can be a better rounded person. I need a longer curfew so I can have more time with my friends.

Like anything in the world there is always a risk though. With the extension of my curfew there is the possibility of me getting pulled over or even an accident. Thiers one day in your life though were you have to let me grow up and set me free in the world let me out of the house. We may end up doing dumb things staying out later but you cant look at me and tell me you never did anything dumb.

The best part of me being out of the house more means me away from you! So now you don’t have to share the TV or even get me food. You can sit back and relax or even read your books. Another bonus of me being gone is me and dad won’t be playing Xbox all night so you can hang out with him. So when you yell at him for yelling at the Xbox all the time that worry Shannon, is gone!

Since I’m always at lacrosse and helping around or at little Mrs. Perz’s on the weekends during the day.  If I had a longer curfew I would see my friends longer and know what’s going on with people, also I would not be socially awkward in school. Now when my friends go to late movies I could go, rather then me sitting at home doing absolutely nothing.

The basis is that I need a longer curfew. I would be out of the house more not always inside like you say I am. I would see my friends longer see how their doing and they’ll know what I’m up to too. Everything in the world has pros and cons. So think about what choice you’re making is it the right one to say no?

Sincerely,

Andrew Madsen

Caesars speech

English II

What does friendship mean to me? Since my death I have figured out that friendship means you do not distrust one person for the benefit of oneself, and you always stand up for your friend even in the worst of times. Even though that people are loyal to you doesn’t mean at all that people are your friends. Brutus is a great example he is an honorable man but yet he killed me.

Friendship to me is people who respect you and will take your word and stay in things till the end. Friendship to Brutus is someone who will take you to higher places even if you have to burn same bridges to get there. Young Brutus is just trying to make himself wealthy not the well being of his friends.

I state “what we wish, we readily believe, and what we ourselves think, we imagine others think also”. I am saying that we always think of people who are close to us stand up for us, take us in times of need not to throw us out on the ground and leave us to starve and die.  Brutus is one man who didn’t live up to this he could prosper for himself and hence for killed me. Now is a man trying to d the things I once did.

My dear friend Antony said “For Brutus is an honorable man, so are they all, all honorable men” basically Antony is warning all of you that he is a good loyal man that tried to save me that now wishes he could just of helped me. Now all of you people should take his word and help yourselves and pick your friends much more wisely.

I came you today to talk about friendship and who you should trust in these dark times so please, great people of Rome take my word and choose your friends wisely. I took Brutus as a honorable man and he killed me, do not make the same mistake as me.

the oppsite sex annoy you?

Dear Brutus,

In recent days Calpurnia has been acting strange and very timid of me leaving my house. Especially coming upon the ides of March I do not know what to do. I am very frustrated with her. Brutus please help. I must attend to the senate.

Sincerely, Caesar

Dear Caesar,

Go to Calpurnia and tell her there is nothing to fear especially the ides of March. You are Caesar nothing can even touch you. So please go to your wife and speak with her. And tomorrow I shall come to your house and speak with you both, then I shall leave and mark Antony shall come get you for senate.

Sincerely, Brutus

dr berry post

Dear Dr. Berry,

I think we should think about the last time we have even had six snow days? Snow days are put in a school to give a break because harsh weather is expected but there are only four of them built in; so that means that we maybe should think about making up time, but like most kids, even teachers, this is an annoyance most kids don’t do much the last two days of school unless you’re in high school. There are so many more variables then just adding two more days to school.  I think you should look at everything before you just make your decision to add school.

See I believe that making up the days could be very useful for high school kids I mean extra days to study for finals!  Then you get to the part of the middle and elementary schools, which do absolutely nothing in the last couple days. I mean do you have a kid in that grade? Or even better do you remember your last days of fourth grade? Would you want two more days of that?

First off think about all the extra expenses that go into keeping the schools open? Like the air conditioner, the lights, bathrooms, cleaning supplies , free lunches, gas to run the buses, all the stuff that you could save for next year, because next year we may even be worse than this year that extra money you have know could help pay for that five dollar gas or four dollar paper towels for the bathrooms.

Secondly what is more stressful then a bunch of little kids in a class room, and for two extra days you also could have teachers who now have to pay for two more days of daycare. People these days are on budget cuts. The economy is not very good as most people know so you don’t want to have to make people who don’t make a huge chunk of change spend more money.

The Olathe school district should find another matter of adding school. Adding days onto the end of school is not a very good route to keep kids in school

Sincerely,

Andrew Madsen

Hunger Games

I am going to Rate the Hunger Games by the length of a football field 100 being the best and 20 being the lowest. I give the Hunger Games a solid 80 yards. The book starts off slow then jumps right into it when the completion or “reaping day” begins. The quote from this book that hits the most of any I read so far is “Family devotion only goes so far on reaping day”. Hunger Games is filled with action in the book very exciting to read even how they must get food in the beginning is very risky! Would you take that risk?

 Mrs. Byrne should be allowed back into Johnson County Community College for obvious reasons, those reasons being that it was a life lesson, she did not guide her students, and that she learned her lesson.

This life lesson may be much harsher than most students learn she got kicked out of college very fast over a mere misunderstanding. There is no way to even identify whose organ is in the photo it’s just kids in college having fun.

The teacher never told them anything about not taking pictures and in a examine room this small people should know that if they shouldn’t do something the teacher would say something. That is something that should not only be blamed on Mrs. Byrnes but also the teacher should be held accountable.

This is the hopefully the biggest lesson Mrs. Byrnes will ever have to learn. She even took down the photo when she was asked but still got in trouble. So this is a situation people should learn from.

      

My Snap Shot

The picture I value the most in my life is one of my little sister Madelyn. How excited i was to be a big brother also I didn't know it would be the end of my life but it was very specail to me. I still have the little picture of her in my wallet its my favorite picture in the world.

The name comes from norman origins meaning taloir or "to cut". My Mom picked my name and my Dad picked my first name. Two months later my grand parents figured out that my intials are ATM, so for about a month my uncle called me the cash machine. In New Mexico when people figured out my middle name they called me "tay tay" so i have never really liked my middle name.

hello my new friends

let us journey into a new semester of learning in Mr. Allam's class
