Marriage and love

Marriage and Love. Traditionally the two should go hand and hand. But in today's world over 50 % of all marriages end in divorce, that is a sad statistic. the word love is overused today i love this i love that then the next day something better comes out and you hate it. people go around saying I love you like there's is no tomorrow. Love isn't special anymore and that's sad . I think of love as a special thing. Something that a husband and wife feel. That's why people get married in the first place, because they love each other. When a marriage hits the ceiling there like "no big deal ill get a divorce", divorce is a big deal. That's one of the problems of this world to many divorces and not enough love. " Love is patient love is kind" everyone has heard that at every wedding they have been too but that verse is true and call me old fashioned but I only want one wife in my life.

1. Does Nick really not judge anybody?

2.How did Gatsby get rich?

3. Does Daisy not care that tom is cheating on her or does she not know?

4. Why do people think Gatsby's a killer?

5.  Were the people in the car crash at the party?

6. How come Daisy isn't mentioned in the book for a while?

The Fury of Tom

“Daisy!
 Daisy!
 Daisy!”
 shouted Mrs. Wilson!
“I’ll say it whenever I want to!
 Daisy! Dai ——”


Making a short deft movement,
 Tom Buchanan broke her nose
 with his open hand.

Then there were bloody towels
 upon the bath-room floor
, and women’s voices scolding
, and high over the confusion
 a long broken wail of pain.

Old money vs. New money

There is a big difference between people who have been rich forever  and people who recently became rich.

People who have been rich forever just assume that the money is always gonna be there. They don't appreciate the money they have.1000 dollars for a pair of shoes no biggy and then they'll only wear them once. They don't mind spending money on things that they don't want or even need just so others cant have it. Instead of spending it on unnecessary items they should give money to charity or start a scholarship fund.

People who win the lottery that came from a background where they never had a lot of money, I feel, like they appreciate the money more. They wont spend it on lavish things, of course their gonna spoil themselves but not to extreme, they will know what they don't need and they wont buy it.  I know if i won the lottery I would pay off my house, all the money I owe, maybe buy a new car and save the rest for college. If I ever get rich id give some money back to my community.

Don't judge a book by its cover

Outward appearances are deceptive. We all judge people by the way they look but at the same time we don't want to be judged ,especially in high school all we want is to fit in and have friends. If someone looks gangster most assume there dumb, when in fact some of the gangsters  I know are really smart. If they look nerdy we assume there smart but in some cases that's not true. Its like the saying " don't judge a book by its cover" just because people dress a certain way doesn't mean that they are what they seem. The typical barriers of cliques are almost non existent as I see it at schools today, gangsters hanging out with skaters, skaters hanging out with preps basically every clique is starting to hang out together and close the typical stereotype barriers of society. Sadly in America we value the dollar so much we base our entirely life on trying to get the most money as we can. Our yearning for the dollar is so substantial that it will only end on our death bed.

Marrying someone for their money is something I've seen,my uncles richer then the average American and he has had so many wives he could start a basketball team. I don't want to  upset anyone but gold-diggers do exist and it upsets me to see that happen, I mean how shallow can someone be to marry someone just for the money. Money isn't important to me when I make a decision when it comes to love. But at the same time beauty dose, what I mean is as long as I found her beautiful it doesn't matter what others think.

Assimilate

                     Assimilate is basically like trying to fit in with other people. Whether it’s trying to fit in with the popular kids or just your own friend’s people are always going to try to assimilate. If all your friends get the newest phone and you’re the only one who doesn't have it more than likely you’re going to want to get it. Kind of like when fitted hats were in everyone had one but now that snap backs are in people automatically switched to snap backs just because some rapper wrote a song about them. Some people will do anything to fit in with what’s cool they will completely change who they are, buy all new clothes, change who they talk to, and completely change their personality. I knew this one kid in 6th grade he was really shy and now he’s all into having swag and wearing snap backs. i choose not to assimilate because im happy with who i am and im proud of it I am a nerd who loves music!. In "A Raisin in the Sun", Beneatha tries to act like a rich white women. She does so many things, wants to be a doctor, takes guitar lessons, learned to ride a horse, she’s just trying to do what she thinks white people are doing. Deep down I think she loves her family but sometimes is ashamed of them and doesn't want to be around them sometimes. That’s most likely the reason that she tells her mom basically not to embarrass her when her friend, Asagai an intellectual man, comes over. Beneathea is embarresed to be black she tries so hard to be anything else but black, she is black and she cant change that.

Who's more important me or my family

As for me Id probably choose my family first. I want to go off and do my own things but I will always love my family. That's probably the main reason why I want to go to Texas because its not that far from here and I could see me family every week. But at the same time I would love to out and see the world and meet new people. But if I have the chance to spend the entire day with my family Id do it because I love my family that much, of course we get at each others throats sometimes, but I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world. Obviously if I get a good job opportunity and its like in Florida id definitely consider it seriously, it just depends I guess if i could wait a little while longer and get the same job here in the area I would. After seeing the same people everyday in your life you kind of grow accustomed to seeing the all the time and it feels weired when their not there right next to you. My parents have showed me so much and there always there for me when i mess up and help me to get up and move on. So yeah my family comes first. P.S. this is my nephew.

My American dream

My American dream is probably the most common one out there. All that I want is to become a doctor that helps with therapy through music, and help and donnate my time to kids in third world countries and treat them with the medical skills that most of their doctors dont have ,and obviously help them get a better life. I want to have kids and get married. The college I want to graduate from is The University of Texas at Austin. I want to have enough money to support my family but still have some left over to give back to my community and school, also I want to pay my parents back for everything they have done for me.I don't need flashy cars or a trophy wife just to be surrounded by people who love me and care for me.As long as I can do and have these things id be living my American dream.

All about myself

My name is Rogelio but I like to be called Roger. I am sixteen and I have lived my whole life in San Antonio. I'm in the mariachi and orchestra programs and my passion is music. I love music because its something that you can have fun with and add little things here and there to make it your own. Music is something that I've loved since I was a little kid singing along to the radio like every other little kid. My favorite type of music is rock and my favorite band is Slipknot. My number one food is anything that my mom makes. My favorite sports team is the Spurs. My favorite celebrity is Tim Duncan. My favorite animal is the duck. I would perfer to graduate from The University of Texas at Austin.
