Student Teacher Relationships

   One thing I don't understand is when, me a student, runs into a teacher outside of school. What should I say? Do I just act like I don't even see him. Because I'm thinking that the last thing he would want to do is have a conversation with one of his annoying students. Or should I talk to him like he's one of my friends and then he might start to like me and then mark my assignments easier. But then on the other hand I could ask him about an upcoming test or quiz and then I could legitimately get a better mark. But when it really gets confusing is when I pass one of my teachers in the hallway. I have no clue what to do: say hello, ask about homework, or just ignore him completely and it's the worst when you go so say, "Hello" or "Hows it going" and the teacher doesn't even acknowledge you. I think it's time that someone should make a rule book about these types of awkward relationships. But until a genius comes out with that book we are all stuck in this perplexed and inept world.

(Intro)
Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted in one moment
Would you capture it? Or just let it slip?

(Verse 1)
Yeah,
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's choking how, everybody's joking now
The clock's run out, time's up over, bloah!
Snap back to reality, oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked
He's so mad, but he won't give up that
Easy, no
He won't have it, he knows his whole back's to these ropes
It don't matter, he's dope
He knows that, but he's broke
He's so stagnant that he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's
Back to the lab again yo
This whole rhapsody
He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him

(Chorus)
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo (x2)

(Verse 2)
This soul's escaping, through this hole that is gaping
This world is mine for the taking
Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order
A normal life is boring, but superstardom's close to post mortem
It only grows harder, homey grows hotter
He blows it's all over, these hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows, he's know as the Globetrotter
Lonely roads, God only knows
He's grown farther from home, he's no father
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
But hold your nose 'cause here goes the cold water
These hoes don't want him no mo', he's cold product
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows

[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/lose-yourself-lyrics-eminem.html ]

He nose dove and sold nada
So the soap opera is told and unfolds
I suppose it's old partner, but the beat goes on
Da da dum da dum da da

(Chorus)
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo (x2)

(Verse 3)
No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this motherfucking roof off like two dogs caged
I was playing in the beginning, the mood all changed
I been chewed up, and spit out, and booed off stage
But I kept rhyming and stepwritin' the next cypher
Best believe somebody's paying the pied piper
All the pain inside amplified by the
Fact that I can't get by with my nine to five
And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
'Cause man, these Goddamn food stamps don't buy diapers
And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder
Trying to feed and water my seed, plus
Teeter totter caught up between being a father and a prima donna
Baby mama drama's screaming on and
Too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another day of monotony
Has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate a plot or end up in jail or shot
Success is my only motherfucking option, failure's not
Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go
I cannot grow old in Salem's Lot
So here I go is my shot.
Feet fail me not 'cause maybe the only opportunity that I got

(Chorus)
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo (x2)

(Outro)
You can do anything you set your mind to, man

    Eminem might just be the best poetic rapper there is. This is shown in one of his first hit songs "Loose Yourself" which is a lyric poem. The theme of this song is one must always take advantage of opportunities that are presented to you and one must give it their all or else you will have regrets. Eminem uses repetition by repeating the chorus to get the point of the theme across to his listeners. Eminem depicts himself when he's on stage by using imagery when he says, "His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready" Eminem also uses hyperbole when he describes himself about to become successful in music when he says,
"This world is mine for the taking
Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order". In the middle of the second stanza Eminem feels that he is as low as he can get and he's in the worst possible position he uses a boxing metaphor buy saying, "He knows his whole back's to these ropes". Many people believe that this is one of the best rap songs ever written and if is wasn't for this song Eminem wouldn't have gotten established and become successful.

    Clint Eastwood's face looks as if he just got won a battle to the death and came out unscathed. His eyes have a glimmer to them as if they had a mind of there own. He held is arms in such a manner that anyone could tell he had been in as many gun fights as all the transformers put together. He wore his hat with such glorification that Indiana Jones himself wore it. Clint Eastwood is as heroic as Superman, Batman, Iron Man, and the Incredible Hulk all put together. Some people even go as far as saying that Clint Eastwood is one of the most legendary human beings to walk the Earth, right behind Jesus.

Dear Judgemental College Esay Readers

   Although I have not yet gone to college I have done many other less important things in my life. I have climbed the highest mountain on each continent. I have been in space, twice. I've saved a whole starving African village from rebel fighters using only my words. Some people might even go as far as saying I am the most interesting man in the universe.

   By the age of ten I had already thrown the wildest parties. I was tight with all of the celebrity super stars. I was personal friends with the prime minister and the president. I single handily started and ended World War Three. I had become fluent in five different animal languages. Strawberry Rue barb Pie is my favorite. Some people think I'm a big deal.

   At the age of fifteen I was put in charge of Canada and The United States of America at the same time. I had trained a gold fish to read my emails for me. I had an army of twenty apes as body guards. They also loved Strawberry Rue barb Pie. I was the life of parties when I wasn't even there. Every good looking girl was after me. The MLB, NHL, and the NFL wanted me to sign multi million dollar contacts with them. I had already won the World Series of Poker two years in a row. I taught a blind person sign language. Everyone thinks I'm a big deal.

   Currently at the age of seventeen I had lost and won billions of dollars. I built the worlds largest building with my own two hands. When I fish, the fish fight for me. I had out partied with the whole Jersey Shore cast. I once broke the sound barrier when I went for a light jog. I am a big deal.

   At the age of seventeen I can't think of anything else that I can do. Except to earn a collage degree!
Now I'm sure that with all my past experiences and all of my worldly knowledge I would be far too intelligent for your institution. But you don't have to worry about that because I will make sure to “dumb” myself down so that I will have no trouble fitting into your institution.

Gary Sinise is George!

    Gary Sinise is brilliant in Of Mice and Men. His portrayal of George is spot on! He portrayed his relationship with Lennie flawlessly. He showed both how protective he was of Lennie and how angry he was of him for holding him back in life. This is shown throughout the entire movie when he tries to keep Lennie out of trouble and when he did get into trouble he always did his best to try and get him out of it. This was ultimately displayed at the end of the novel/movie when Lenny got himself in trouble by accidentally murdering the boss' son's wife. Lennie ended up running away into the hills to a spot where George would know where he was. When George met up with Lenny he could hear foot steps and voices of their co-workers getting closer to them. George knew that Lennie's future would not be pleasant if they were to find Lenny. So George got Lennie to think of a happy thought and then abruptly he pointed a gun at Lennie's head and then pulled the trigger. This act of ultimate friendship was brilliantly portrayed by Gary Sinise in Of Mice and Men.

Two Brothers, One Goal

     "We have to try and get out of here some how!" Tommy demanded.
     "I know... Ill find a way," replied Jake.
     "If there is anyone who can do this I know it's you."
     " Don't worry about it Tommy, I never robbed that corner store just so that I could come into this hell of a life for nothing. I came in here to get my little brother out."
Tommy looked at his brother in awe, "I thought you said that you needed money, that's why you robbed the store, isn't it?"
     "Tommy! I worked at one of the best civil engineering companies in the country. Why on earth would I need the money?"
     "So your saying you got your self arrested on purpose?"
     "Yes... to help you get out of here and turn your life around. No one should be in prison for life. Its just not right."
     "And I thought that I was suppose to be the stupid one" Tommy replied with a smirk on his face.
Jake became filled with rage when he heard this,"Hey do you want me to help you get your life back!" yelled Jake, "or would you rather me leave you in hear after just three months. When my times up and not risk getting my sentence extended to over a year!
     "I was only joking. You are the best brother anyone could wish for."
     "Well I better be" Tommy had a grin on his face. "what type of idiot gets himself locked up on purpose."
They both laughed for a while until the prison guard Yelled, "Lights out! and every one shut up!"
    
 

Of Mice and Men Cliches

  "Slim you can't go looking for the man who done this, he be probably long gone by now, it be a waste of time."
  " I don't know George your probably right, but for some dang reason I think you got an ace up your sleeve. Your trying to hide some thin."
George's eyes drifted off into space as if he was trying to think of something.
 "ok well we can't put all or eggs in one basket so how bout I head south and you guys go north?"
 " That sounds mighty fine idea George but I'll head south 'cause I know the lay of that land better then anyone in this whole country."
  "No I just gotta go south, I just gotta"
  "Now you listen here George I've been working here on this rank since the start of time, now not no one is goning to tell me what to do!"
  "Dammit Slim!" George yelled at the top of his lungs "I'm going to go south... I just have to."
George gave all of the men a sinister stare and then he turned promptly and headed South.
  Slim turned and faced the rest of the group. "Now I don't wanna go out in a limb here but George has to have something to do with this."
  "Ok lets all split up and no one follow George, I'm scared if we do... he might strike again."
