allusion poem final

Forgetting things

that’s what she’s known for.

she’s definitely not

the smartest fish in the sea.

Although she can be ditzy

she’s pretty funny too.

If you ever need a helping hand

she’s always there for you.

You’ll never meet someone

as loud and crazy as her.

Throughout the ocean blue

singing her little whale songs.

She has this little motto

to “Just keep swimming” along.

angry letter

Ross dress for less

Aiea, Hawaii, 96701

Dear Ross administration,

My friends, family, and I really enjoy your store.  You have very good prices, and a big variety of clothing and other accessories.  That is the reason why my friends, family, and I keep coming back.

However, every time we go there, there has been a few problems that can be easily fixed.  Every time we go there and we are trying to look for an item, it is nowhere in sight it I see it else where in the store. Along with that, not only are there things everywhere, there are clothes and appliances on the ground.  When you walk there is no pathway you have to walk around and avoid things that are on the ground. Also, since there are things on the ground people probably just step on it and then you r items will be all dirty and it isn’t good to be sold. Along with your supplies being dirty, if you leave it on the ground it is also a fire hazard.  If there are things on the ground people can trip and hurt themselves.

I know that you guys are trying your best to keep this store clean and all. But to make things better you can get your staff members out there so that they can clean it and put it back on there shelves an back to there sections.  If you can’t do this with the workers you have then maybe you should hire more workers so that your store can be top notch and more people will come.

Through this all, your staff members are very nice and helpful.  If we ever needed anything we were able to ask and direct us to where the items where and if it wasn’t there they would ask someone else where it was. To help your workers out you should better organize your store.

I have no problems with your store.  But I fell that you should change these little things so your store will become even better then it is now.

Sincerely,

Dior Motas

            

risky business

           Teens would do anything to fit in like some weed and drink alcohol.  Since they are illegal they turn to things like household items.  People may think that abusing household items aren’t bad for you because they aren’t illegal.  Little do they know that it is just as bad.  Using household items are just like doing drugs and drinking alcohol because it has the same effects on you.

            First off, abusing household items can cause you to get many health problems.  Some health problems you may get are: lightheaded, dizziness, slurred speech, euphoria, and hallucinations.  In an article is stated that with continued use of household items you may lose consciousness or even death.  It also said that if you do not die from abusing household items you can become brain damaged or have kidney failures.

            In addition, not only can it cause you health problems, but it’s also really easy to get. Also, since the 1890’s the abuse of household items has increased steadily.  The reason for that is because it is cheap easy to get and it’s legal.  To do this all you have to do is look in your closets at home and it will be right there.  Also, since this is legal to do teens aren’t afraid of getting caught.  The people that do this the most are teens from 12-17 since it is easily accessible at home.  The household items they abuse are: cough syrup, hand sanitizer, nutmeg, spray paint, gasoline, household cleaners and many more.

            Although this is starting to be a problem, not many people know about it and think its no big deal.  One reason for that is because since it is legal they don’t think that it is bad and that it won’t do any harm to you.  For instance, people think that abusing household items are better then doing meth and alcohol.  But like I said earlier they have the same effect on your body.  Lastly, people think its not a problem because they would never suspect their child abusing household items.

            In conclusion, as you can see kids would do anything just to fit in.  They do dumb things like smoke weed drink alcohol and abuse household items not knowing the effects that it has on your body.  They think that everything will be fine and nothing will happen to their bodies.  But little by little their body is breaking and at any moment they can die.  Don’t be dumb and waste your life on drugs and alcohol.
