Flowers

          Most flowers remind me of spring. The bright vibrant colors that all explode and bloom when its spring. I love the way that they start from a little seed and later bloom into big beautiful flower. There are tons of varieties of different flowers! There is Daisies, cosmos, daffodils, roses, tulips, snap draggons, sunflowers, morning glorys, sweet peas and the list goes on and on and on!Flowers can decoratethe inside and outside of every space. They only need water, Sunshine and a little but of love. 

Toe-nail polish

I personally really like toenail polish. My poor toes just feel bare without it! It's a shuttle way you can add color to anything you wear. There is millions of colors and brads to chose from. You can easily do it yourself at home or you can get a relaxing foot massage and get professionals to do your toes for you! You can get Many designs and crazy nail art to add something extra ok keep it how it is! 

Phrases from the dark side

Phrases from the dark side

        Right after midnight, on October 29th, I was waiting inside my house when I herd the sound of wet 
boots / in slimy muck. I dismissed the creepy noises and went back to doing my homework. Next I heard a
soft scream in the distance. This time I went into my bedroom and got on my bed and under my covers. Then I herd small footsteps coming from the garden. I pinched myself just in-case. I started to fall asleep just when I remembered I didn't lock the doors. I locked the front door and the back door, and just before I locked the side door I looked out the window / to the garden and my jaw dropped to what seemed like the floor. The garden had something among the cabbages, something big! It looked around 600 pounds! It had big, thick vines wrapping along the fence. I was so shocked, all I could do was stare at the enormous "thing" / in my garden that seemed to be staring straight back at me. It kept making a loud sucking noise and I wondered how no one else in my family herd it. Once the shock was over I turned around and ran back to my room as quick as i could. The next morning, before school I walked into the garden that had left me thinking the night before. I walked past the apple tree, carrots and pumpkins until I reached our "cabbage patch". I looked around and saw only colorful cabbages. I looked and looked until I found something /  under one of the cabbages. It had creamy skin so I picked it up. It was a small little squash! I laughed at myself and carried it back inside my house.

See how easy it is to fool a King Response

      "See how easy it is to fool a King" The author stated.
In the end, sadly the Spaniards still didn't believe in the fryers ways. They didn't believe that what they were doing was wrong. That killing the Indianans was not right. The fryer was still a smart man though. He knew that the men would be angry when he said what he said. He also knew that the men weren't stupid enough to kill a man so close to god like himself. So Fryer Montecinto and the Dominicans kept on telling the Spaniards what they were doing was wrong.
      The fryer was right about killing all of the Indians but he had another reason to say those things, and soon his plan unfolded. The Spaniards sent the fryer and Dominicans back to Spain, where all of the people wanted to go in the first place. You see, The fryer and the Dominicans didn't want to stay with the explorers in poverty and seeing all of the people die. They wanted to go back to Spain so, therefore he fooled the Spaniards and the King.

Two Worlds apart

Morning Girl	Both	Columbus
I want a sister	We both want something we don’t have	I want gold and precious gems
I wish for joy	We both want happiness	I wish for power
I hear the island noises	We both hear water	I hear the rough ocean
I see my family	We both see the ocean	I see new land
I travel over the island	We both enjoy adventure	I travel over seas
I fight with Star Boy	We both want people to be more like us	I fight with Indians
I watch the morning	We both watch the day change	I watch the cloudy night sky
I smell the sweet flowers	We both smell the tropics	I smell the salty sea breeze
I taste tropical Fruits	We both live on the ocean	I taste the salty air
I love my tribe	We both live in a community	I dislike my crew

Morning Girl

     I actually liked Morning girl a lot. I definitely got it a lot more once I read the epilogue, it definitely made more sense. I liked how the end left me hanging, I wanted to know more about what happened to the people. I enjoyed reading about the lifestyle that the Tanio people lived, wich is SO different from ours! I liked learning about the culture as well a look into Morning girl and Starboys lives.

     For me I feel connected to both Star boy and Morning girl. With Morning girl i can relate because I am an older sister who has a very outgoing little sister. Being older i do put others in front of me as well. I also care about my image and what I look like a lot as well.  I can be very quiet and i can also be more "mature" at times. But I can also be very crazy, and definitely eat too much and not know when to be quiet. I also love the night a lot more. One thing that I have in common with both of them is that I'm very observant of everything around me.

     Some questions that I had were more things that had to do with the Tanios and Christopher Columbus. Like: What happened to their community and tight bond? Who went and served as slaves? What happened to Morning girl and Star boy?  

Nature name

If I had a Nature name it would probably be something with water, My grandma always called me: Mermaid and Little Fishy. I would choose one of those because they suit me in different ways but they all connect with the fact that I love to be in water! I will go in the ice cold Ocean with no wetsuit and be the first to jump in the lake, I alway am begging to go to rivers and creeks, pools are fun too! There are so many things that can be done in the water! I can water ski, wakeboard and tube in the lake, I surf, boogie board, snorkel, body surf and dive in the ocean, I can float down the rapids, kayak or jump off rocks at the river! there are endless opportunities in the water and thats why I love it!

Personal Space - Clearlake

I step outside and the warm summer breeze hits my face and warms my body. The hot deck burns my feet. I lean over the balcony. I look at the gold sparkling water in front of me. The hot fiery sun hit the lake just right and made it glimmer. The lake was glassy and still, calm and flat, as it is most mornings. I walk down the warm stairs all the way to the dock below. I walk down with one hand on the railing, silently, peacefully. I look at the purple, pink and blue painted morning sky. I keep walking, inhaling the nectarous smell of Clearlake, The sweetness in the air.  I reach the very bottom of the dock, Still silently, sit down and look at the water just begging me to get in. I give up and put my feet in as the water wraps itself around my feet. I sit and listen to the birds chirp, the fish jump and the leaves rustle as the sun rises higher. The air gets warmer and soon the water asks me to get in again. I strip down to my bathing suit and stand on the edge of the dock. I put my hands above my head and spring off the dock. My hands hits the water first then my wrists, arms and head, shoulders, chest, then stomach, thighs, legs and finally feet. I stay under for a few more seconds and swim to the surface of the water gracefully.

In 1928 someone had an idea about a television, and in 1939, almost 75 years ago that dream became a reality. over that period of 75 years we have come all the way to touch screen tablets and touch screen phones and even touch screen computers! We have flatscreen TVs and much much more! Theres tons of brands, like: Apple, Windows, Android, Sony, Toshiba, Visio, blackberry, Samsung, just o name a few. It seems normal to us, growing up with it and all, its funny to image what it would be like without our devices, what was normal not too long ago.  

Social Networking    

It can be an addiction. Theres so much! Theres: Instagram (my favorite), Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Tumblr,  Vine, Ask.Fm ECT!

Claire Margret O'Brien
I don't really know much about my name. I know that there is a St. Claire in the catholic church, but that's pretty much it. My middle, Margret,  is more special to me because it is the name of my Dads Mom and my Mom's Mom. I also know that my last name comes from Ireland, and that O'Brien is a very common name there.

Style
To me, Style is a way to express yourself. Fashion is matching and following all the rules, but style is what you do to the outfit or hair to make it your own! with style you can step out of the box, be weird be crazy! Without style there would be no fashion, because there wouldn't be those people who were bold and stepped out of the lines.

Pink
Pink really is the best color. Its the mix of the fiery red and  bright white. From bright and vibrant hot pink, all the way to clam light pink. Pink can mean may many different things to different people, to some it might mean happy and exuberant and to some it might mean more layed back and relaxed! From neon to light pink can brighten any day!

Sand
Sand is one of my least favorite things ever. Its the small pieces of rock that burns your feet when you run on the beach, it gets stuck in your bathing suit and all in between your toes. It sticks to your body when your wet and seems to appear just everywhere! it stays in your hair even after taking a shower. Its always in my car, It seems to never leave you alone!

I hop into the boat. I grab the wake board, tighten my bindings and jump in. My dad tosses me the rope and my heart starts pounding. I shakily yell "hit it". I feel the pull and I'm up. All my worries fly behind me.

6 Word Memoirs

Off plane, warm breeze, tropical paradise.

Pointed toe, Rounded arm, graceful.

Throughout that time I have gotten to know the art of ballet a lot better along with the art of other dances like: Latin, Jazz, Tap, Hip Hop, Modern and  Contemporary. I don't do much other sports than dance, over the last 3 summers I have been able to learn how to water ski and wake board. I have been successful in both sports and enjoy doing then a lot. I have done a little of track but not much, I have recently signed up for a race.

My favorite subjects in school are language arts an history.

I love to learn more and more things about writing and that's where I get loving to read from. I've always been a big bookworm. My favorite book is probably pride and  prejudice (by Jane Austen) because I absolutely love that time frame. Although I like that tome frame, In history I am really fascinated from about 1900 -1968 in British and American history, (don't even ask why) I love the show downtown abbey placed in Brittan at from 1930-1920  (not sure) I also love the history of wars and why they happened, my least favorite is probobly pre-colonial.

Music is a big part of my life from just listening to the radio to playing my flute, music has been there for me through the good and the bad times of my life.

Then I would either like to go to UC Berkley and studie either history or American ligature or English. If I don't do that I would love to go to New York and get my business degree in fashion.
