A psychotic black hole whipped significantly below the belt.
A questionable black hole trampled significantely around the planet.
A wierd La Vida Loco harrased figuretively below the belt.
The putrid La Vida Loco trampled goofily into the wild yonder.
The psychotic equestrian used placidly of a great importance.

My response to Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery"

The Lottery
Sophomore English
21 August 2007
Shirley Jackson’s work of literature entitled the Lottery is very well written, and it is a good story that you can learn from.
A unique mix of traditions, the drawing, and culture mark this story as a brilliant work of prose. The sacrifice at first passing, when reading the story, you don’t exactly understand its significance. Later, the stoning of the innocent affect people in two ways, the kids are taught the strange and barbaric ideas, and the person who is of course being stoned. Slips of paper contained in a black box seem important but you have no dreams as to why. When, the black dot of death shows up in the hands of that poor woman I was shocked, the significance hadn’t dawned on me yet. Religion is another key part of this story. The story doesn’t stop making you intrigued until the very end, most people ask why, why stone some random person, but it all ties in. Personally I liked the story with its mixed up mashed up customs, drawing of the winner, and there strange and foreign way of life.

In this paper I will tell you about a vacation my family and I too before school was out for the summer. My family and I went to Colorado. The ride in the car wasn't fun, but when we got there it was fun and exciting!
I havent been to very many big cities in my existance, so bieng in Colarado was pretty crazy. I have a picture and in this picture my older sister Susanne, my younger sister Erin and I were in a photo booth at Six Flags. I am personaly not big on having my picture taken, but guess what I lived.
Six Flags is a great vacation spot especcialy when it is hot out, because they have a very cool water park. I have desisded that the big city isn't for me. I plan to move away from hotsprings, but not out of Montana.
Also in Colarado people drive like psycotic maniacs. The only plausible comparison is to that of Washington-ers driving abilities, or their lack there of. Mabye they are just in a hurry but still I would rather be safe then sorry. Plus the traffic in Colarado Springs is horrific, Denver traffic is the worst of all.
The real reason for our trip was to visit Marci my eldest sister. Another reason I don't like the trip to Colarado is the passing through of "the land of roadkill" also known as Wyoming. There was about 127 rabbits and 36 antelope at last tally.
In closing it was a great trip with a few speed bumps along the way.
