Mint Snowball




     I could appreciate that Mint Snowball was very well written even though it wasn't my favorite thing to read. The narrative described a longing for something that the wrier had never had but yet so deeply desired. She describes the way it made her family feel and the way the rest of the town reacted to the special recipe of the mint snowball. She wants to taste this mint snowball so bad and she feels like she can't be complete until she has it.


     Almost anyone can appreciate how well written this narrative was. It went over the background of the mint snowball, then it described the action, and then it describes her ideas on the events. Her word choice made the entire story flavor-filled. She was very descriptive on her emotions while describing what she thought about the whole thing. This narrative was very well written and almost picture-perfect.

    The way you described the narrative was great! I liked how you found positive aspects of the story even though it wasn't your favorite.

        Thanksgiving break can be so annoying. We have so much homework and it stresses me out the entire break. I wish we could have a whole break with no homework. But I guess that is just too much to ask for. I get that we need to keep our minds refreshed sometimes but we get so much homework it does so much more than that.        Thanksgiving is also just not my favorite holiday in general. We have to all just sit together and eat and it is so boring. Thursday was definitely my least favorite day of the break. It isn't my moms favorite holiday because eating food we don't especially like isnt our favorite pastime. So this holiday gets on my nerves.

Gun control

I am responding to a Newsday article written by Justin Haskins responding to the Las Vegas shooting and on the issue of gun control. Haskins makes the claim that strict gun laws will not work in this country as they already do not work. He also wants to explain why this will not work    " the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, a group that supports enhancing gun-control laws, gave in its recent gun-control report card “F” grades (for having lax gun laws) to five of the six states that have the lowest homicide rates"(Haskins). Haskins points out here that there is correlation between having gun laws that aren't strict and having low homicide rates. He also points out that the six states of Arkansas, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Alaska, and West Virginia are the only states that have 50% of households that own firearms. He points out that  these states are among the top ranked for having the lowest homicide rates. He discusses how the statistics from cities that have very low

Dear 12 year old

     Don't quit something that you have started ever. It is something I have tried to make good on for my life and it is a value that is very important to me. It is something many of my coaches have preached and it is something I try to preach to the rest of my family. Quitting is something that seems so easy but it never pays off and is just the easy way out.      This is something that I recommend to a 12 year old because at that point in life everything starts to get harder. When everything gets harder, quitting seems so easy and like that is the best thing to do. The best thing to do I have found is almost never the easiest. If you sort something, you finish it no matter what it is. This is what I would consider to be the best advice that I can give at the time.
